The Civil Aviation Act 1982 provides the legislative framework for civil aviation in the UK. It establishes the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as the aviation regulator, deals with aerodromes, and provides for regulation of air navigation. The Act works alongside retained EU aviation safety regulations and the Air Navigation Order 2016.
