Regulation 29 Right of access to airports and other places

Subject to paragraph (2), for the purposes of ascertaining whether the provisions of these Regulations are being complied with, the CAA and any authorised person, upon production (if required) of his credentials, shall have the right of access at all reasonable times to any airport or any other place in the United Kingdom where an aeroplane has landed for the purpose of inspecting that aeroplane or any noise certificate required to be in force in respect of that aeroplane or for the purpose of detaining that aeroplane under regulation 28.

In relation to any Government airport, the CAA or the authorised person (as the case may be) shall obtain the permission of the person in charge of that airport before exercising the right of access referred to in paragraph (1).

Any person who intentionally obstructs or impedes any person acting in the exercise of his powers or the performance of his duties under this regulation shall be guilty of an offence.
