Implementation of CAP 1096 will be aligned to the rollout of the Airspace Co-ordination and Obstacle Management Service (ACOMS), currently in development. Stage B - (Confirmation of readiness - Q1/Q2 2022) Please address feedback to with the subject line - AVOKA Feedback. Feedback received alongside wider stakeholder engagement will be used to assist development of the new partly automated notification and assessment process detailed in Phase 3.

The CAA would welcome feedback on the new form's effectiveness.
#IN VICINITY OF TRIAL#
Where the new online notification form is being used, the operators should note within the application if they are trial participants.Where the CAA are required to be notified, the DAP 1924 or the new online notification form can be utilised to support the provision of the required data. Operators are to note the mandatory requirement now in force to notify the CAA of any crane that is (or is proposed to be) at or above 100 metres AGL regardless of proximity to aerodromes or height of surrounding structures. To assist with identifying relevant aerodromes, the Non-Trial Crane Notification Areas - 6km can be used to identify aerodromes with safeguarded areas.
#IN VICINITY OF LICENSE#
Within this guidance, the crane users are encouraged to liaise directly with local aerodrome license holders/operators.

All other operators are to use the guidance available at Non-Trial Crane Notification Guidance.Selected operators who have been invited to take part in the trial will utilise the CAP1096 and use the associated DAP 1924 form.Stage A - (First trial - 1st October 2020 to 31st May 2021) The ACOMS Service is designed to be easy to use, simplifying the crane notification process and our new internal systems will enable the CAA to deliver a higher level of service. The new and improved online submissions portal is now live. Working with industry groups, the CAA is currently undertaking a phased creation and implementation of the new crane notification process to better enable this assessment.

Accordingly, in some respects, cranes are assessed in a different light. Crane-related issues are usually considered and managed in much the same way as any tall structure.īecause cranes can be erected at extremely short notice, a potential air navigation obstacle can therefore appear with very little notice. We are no longer accepting AVOKA online submissions or DAP1924 forms for crane notifications.Īs with any tall structure, the presence of a single crane or number of cranes has the potential to affect aviation activities. Please register via the CAA customer portal to access the new ACOMS Service.

The online submission system for crane notifications has changed.
