Aircraft: Monitoring

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government how the Civil Aviation Authority monitors the operation and maintenance of foreign registered aircraft based in the UK; and what assessment they have made of the number of US-registered aircraft which are habitually based in the UK.

Answer

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) listed 729 American registered aircraft as resident in the UK on 17 July 2019. This includes business aviation and private non-commercial operators. The Business aviation owners will be regulated in accordance with the Commercial Air Transport rules.

The UK CAA conducts Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Monitoring (ACAM) surveys each year and American registered and other non-UK registered aircraft are included in those samples.
