Civil Aviation Authority: Regulation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans his Department has to streamline the permissions process for small and medium-sized enterprises for testing new defence capabilities that fall outside Civil Aviation Authority regulations.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Military Aviation Authority (MAA) as the air safety regulator for the Defence Air Environment sets the regulatory framework for Air System Test activity.
It continues to support the Ministry of Defence’s ambitions, and has reorganised, upskilled and developed an updated and flexible approach to certification and regulation of new capabilities.
