Part 1: Airspace change proposals Section 6: Provision of information
Section 6 amends an existing information gathering power contained in section 84 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (provision by others of information for the CAA and Secretary of State), to enable the CAA to require information from a person involved in airspace change within the meaning of Part 1 of this Act (that is, from an airport operator, an air navigation service provider, or another person with functions relating to air navigation). The amendment enables the CAA to require information from such a person that the CAA considers is needed for the purpose of the CAA performing any of its functions under Part 1 of this Act, or for the purpose of providing any information, assistance or advice to the Secretary of State relating to the performance of any of the Secretary of State’s functions under Part 1 of this Act.
