  "text": "Section 29B of the Civil Aviation Act 1971 (added by section 16(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1980) empowers the Secretary of State to designate any aerodromes for either or both the purposes of section 29 (which provides for the regulation of noise and vibration from aircraft) and the purposes of section 29A (which provides for the making of grants towards the cost of insulating buildings against noise) of the Act.\nThis Order supersedes the Civil Aviation (Designation of Aerodromes) Order 1971 with a modification. That Order designated, under a provision now repealed by the Act of 1980, the three airports mentioned in Article 2 of the Order and Prestwick Airport for the purposes of section 29 of the Act of 1971. Prestwick Airport is no longer designated as an aerodrome for the purposes of section 29.\nThis Order also designates the two airports mentioned in Article 3 of the Order for the purposes of section 29A of the Act of 1971. Sound insulation schemes for Heathrow and Gatwick Airports (S.I. 1980/153, 154), which were made under section 29A before the Act of 1980, continue to have effect.",
