Request for feedback on the proposed definition of Complex Motor-Powered Aircraft

The UK CAA concluded that regulations will need to be amended to enable the safe integration of AAM operations in the UK within the next 2-5 years.

The term Complex Motor-Powered Aircraft (known as CMPA) is used throughout the Regulations and controls the appropriate regime that aircraft are placed under.

It is important that the threshold for CMPA is set at an appropriate point such that it enables the use of aircraft in the General Aviation arena without imposing the higher standards associated with CMPA.

The CAA is proposing an amendment to the CMPA definition and thresholds, we invite stake holders to give us their views.
