The Civil Aviation Authority (in this licence referred to as 'the CAA') in exercise of its powers under Article 103 of the Air Navigation Order hereby licenses the above-named aerodrome as an aerodrome to be used as a place of take-off and landing of aircraft engaged in flights for the purpose of the public transport of passengers or for the purpose of instruction in flying, subject to the following conditions:

1 The aerodrome is licensed for public use and shall at all times when it is available for the take-off or landing of aircraft be so available to all persons on equal terms and conditions.

2 No aircraft shall take-off or land at the aerodrome unless such fire-fighting and rescue services and such medical services and equipment as are required in respect of such an aircraft in the CAA's publication CAP 168 (Licensing of Aerodromes) are provided there. Such services and equipment shall at all times when the aerodrome is available for the take-off or landing of aircraft be kept fit and ready for immediate turnout.

3 Changes in the physical characteristics of the aerodrome including the erection of new buildings and alterations to existing buildings or to visual aids shall not be made without prior approval of the CAA.

4 The licensee shall, by the quickest means available, notify the CAA of any material change in the surface of the landing area, or in the obstruction characteristics of the approach, take-off or circuit in relation to the aerodrome.

5 The licensee shall notify the CAA of any proposed change to the specified posts described at Schedule 2 not less than 28 days prior to the intended date of the effect of such a change.

6 The licensee shall notify the CAA of changes to persons holding posts specified in Schedule 2 or of changes to the safety related accountabilities of these posts either prior to or within 14 days after such changes have been made.

7 Any public right of way crossing or bordering the landing area shall be adequately sign-posted with notices warning the public of danger from aircraft.

8 The aerodrome is licensed for the take-off and landing of aircraft at night. Such systems of lighting appropriate to the Category of runway in use as described in the CAA's publication CAP 168 (Licensing of Aerodromes), shall be in operation at all times when aircraft are taking-off or landing at the aerodrome at night, provided that minor temporary unserviceability, not of a character likely to affect the safety of operations, shall not preclude the take-off or landing of aircraft.

9 The licensee shall inform the CAA of the times during which the aerodrome is to be generally available for the take-off or landing of aircraft, and of any changes in those times, and whether the aerodrome is to be available by arrangement with the licensee outside those times. The aerodrome shall be kept available for the take-off or landing of aircraft at all times when, in accordance with the information furnished by the licensee to the CAA it is notified as being generally available and shall not be used for the take-off or landing of aircraft at any other time, unless it has been notified in accordance with such information as being available for use by arrangement with the licensee outside the times when it is generally available and is used pursuant to such arrangement.

10 Without prejudice to condition 1, nothing in this licence shall be taken to confer on any person the right to use the aerodrome without the consent of the licensee.

11 Expressions used in this licence shall have the same respective meanings as in the Air Navigation Order.

12 'The Air Navigation Order' in this licence means the Air Navigation Order 2000 and any reference to the Order or to any Article of the Order shall, if that Order be amended or replaced, be taken to be a reference to the Air Navigation Order for the time being in force or the corresponding Article of that Order.

This licence shall remain in force until it is varied, suspended or revoked.
