GENERAL

Overseas Territories Aviation Circulars are issued to provide advice, guidance and information on standards, practices and procedures necessary to support Overseas Territory Aviation Requirements. They are not in themselves law but may amplify a provision of the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order or provide practical guidance on meeting a requirement contained in the Overseas Territories Aviation Requirements.

PURPOSE

This OTAC provides general guidance as to what might be expected of persons applying for or holding an Aerodrome Certificate and for Aerodrome and Airport Operators on the appointment of Aerodrome or Airport Managers, and the competencies and experience required of them.

RELATED REQUIREMENTS

This Circular relates to Part 19 of the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order and OTAR Parts 139,190, 191 and 192.  Additional information for Accountable Managers, who can be considered to have a role equivalent to that of the Aerodrome Certificate Holder or Airport Manager, is published in OTAC 139-17 Accountable Manager.
