Civil aviation workers

Mobile staff covered by the Civil Aviation Directive are excluded from almost everything in the WTR regulations, and are covered instead by the CAR regulations. As amended in 2010 they apply to crew members on board a civil aircraft flying for the purpose of public transport or commercial air transport flights as defined by article 255(1) of the Air Navigation Order 2009(2). Flight Time Limitations (FTLs) under the ANO operate in parallel with CAR, in a framework set out in the CAP 371 document (see chapter 2) although changes are being considered at European level.
