FURTHER DELAYS TO REVISED CAA GUIDANCE FOR CRANE NOTIFICATION AND LIGHTING

In October we reported on new guidance due to be issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regarding the crane notification process and obstacle lighting and marking. This guidance had already been delayed and was due for publication by 31^st May 2021.

The new guidance is currently under trial and the CAA have now announced that planned Implementation of the guidance will now occur not earlier than 1^st April 2022.

The latest information can be found on the CAA’s website at: http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplication.aspx?appid=11&mode=detail&id=5705

In the meantime the Construction Plant Association (CPA) have a Technical Information Note (TIN 039C) for crane users which can be downloaded from the CPA’s website at: https://www.cpa.uk.net/news-events/cap-1096-guidance-for-crane-users/
