# The Civil Aviation (Route Charges for Navigation Services) Regulations 1989, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Civil Aviation (Route Charges for Navigation Services) Regulations 1984, as amended.
In addition to some minor and drafting amendments, the following changes of substance are made—
Turkey became a Member State of Eurocontrol on 1st March 1989. In consequence new rates and transatlantic tariffs are introduced reflecting forecasts of costs and traffic for 1989 and taking into account the balance of over and under recoveries of revenue as compared with costs experienced by the countries participating in the Eurocontrol charging system in 1987.
The unit rates in United States dollars set out in Schedule 2 and the amount of the charges in United States dollars set out in Schedule 3 are calculated by reference to the costs of provision of en route navigation services in the participating countries in the Eurocontrol charges system, the amount of the traffic using each country’s airspace and the relationship of each country’s currency to the United States dollar over a period agreed by Ministers of the participating countries. The inter-action of these elements varies in each country. In calculating the revised charges the average of the exchange rates between the United States dollar and the currencies of the participating countries obtaining in the month of July 1988 have been used.
The unit rates in United States dollars for all participating States have decreased by an average of 0·2%.
The United Kingdom Air Pilot and the foreign Aeronautical Information Publications referred to in the Regulations can be purchased from the Civil Aviation Authority, Greville House, 37 Gratton Road, Cheltenham, Glos GL50 2BN and can be inspected at major aerodromes in the United Kingdom.
