On 28 September 2017, the Commission recommended that the Secretary for Transport update and restructure CAR Part 171 to include the wider scope of technology, software and navigation aids that are normal for a modern air navigation service and to make provision for the rule to cater for future changes in technology.

The Ministry recognises there have been considerable technology developments since the introduction of the CAR Part 171 in 1992. In light of this, I agree there is a need to review the rule.
I am advised that the Civil Aviation Authroity (CAA) shares this position and are progressing with the rule consideration process. The Ministry will work closely with the CAA to progress the rule changes, and will keep the Transport Accident Investigation Commission (the Commission) informed of the progress of any changes to the rule, and any other work that relates to the Commission's recommendation.
