  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Air Navigation Order 1989.\nThe principal changes are:\n(1) For the avoidance of doubt, marks approved by the Authority for the purposes of flight under B Conditions are deemed not to indicate that an aircraft is registered (article 2(1)).\n2) The Authority may refuse to accept an application for the issue of a certificate of airworthiness or validation or for the variation or renewal of any such certificate if the application is not supported by specified reports from persons approved by the Authority (article 2(2)).\n3) With effect from 1st February 1991 a non-public transport aircraft approaching to land on a runway in respect of which there is a notified instrument approach procedure must comply with any relevant aerodrome operating minima in relation to that runway (article 2(5) and (21)).\n4) With effect from 1st October 1991 a person may not provide an air traffic control service unless he has an approval from the Authority and complies with the terms of that approval (article 2(8) and (25)).\n5) A number of provisions in relation to air traffic services have been deleted from the Rules of the Air and Air Traffic Control Regulations and are now included in the Order.\nThe provisions are as follows. First, a requirement to provide an air traffic control service whenever equipment is in operation for the purpose of providing holding aid, let-down aid or approach aid. Secondly, the power for the Authority to direct that an air traffic control service, aerodrome flight information service or means of two-way radio communication be provided at specified times. Thirdly, a requirement that the call sign used by a radio station at an aerodrome must only be used for a purpose for which it has been notified;\n(article 2(3), (6), (7), (9), (11), (12), (15), (16), (17)and (22)).\n6) On 1st November 1990, EC Regulation 2343/90 Article 16 will revoke EC Directive 83/416/EEC, save as respects Gibraltar airport, and EC Regulation 2342/90 Article 14 will revoke EC Directive 87/601/EEC. Since EC Regulations are binding and directly applicable in the UK without implementing measures, Articles 90 and 91 of the Air Navigation Order 1989 will become spent on that date, and have accordingly been deleted.\n7) The direct cost of a flight, otherwise payable by the pilot in command, may be recovered in specified circumstances from a body Corporate of which the pilot in command is a director (article 2(13)).\n8) The areas over which an aircraft in flight must carry a flight navigator as a member of its flight crew or specified navigation equipment approved by the Authority are revised (article 2(18)).",
