EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Order revokes and re-enacts with modifications the Air Navigation (Personnel Licensing) (Fees) Order, 1951 and Regulation 87 and Schedule II (inserted by paragraph 4 of the Air Navigation (Amendment) Order, 1951) of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations, 1930, which prescribed the fees to be paid in connection with certificates, licences and other documents, and with examinations, tests, inspections, investigations, permissions and approvals required by or for the purposes of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations, 1930 and the Air Navigation (Personnel Licensing) Order, 1951 as amended.

The principal effects of the Order are to increase the fees payable for registration of aircraft, the grant and renewal of certificates of airworthiness and validations thereof as well as for licences for professional aircraft pilots and for maintenance engineers whose licences relate to aircraft exceeding 12,500 lbs. in weight.

The Order also introduces fees for the grant and validation of certificates of airworthiness for export, the grant of flight permits and for the approval of modifications to aircraft, of engines and of organisations and premises.
