The CAA has launched its new Skyway Code for General Aviation pilots to help with pre-flight checks, flight planning and in-flight actions.
Ed Bellamy of the CAA’s General Aviation Unit has overseen development of the code. He said: “We wanted the Skyway Code to be something that GA pilots, new or experienced, would find useful.
“Rather than include every bit of information available we’ve focussed on what a pilot most needs to know – primarily aircraft operations and airspace, with a strong emphasis on the practicalities of VFR flying.”
Areas covered include:
As well as covering the regulations the Skyway Code includes examples of radio phraseology, tables to work out crosswind components and ground marshalling signals.
The guide will be updated annually with other key updates and amendments.

Is the CAA going to provide a printed copy? I do not fancy printing out 162 pages, my printer would give up plus there are a lot of fancy title pages which I would want to remove before printing but it is .pdf and so that is more complicated.
No print version has been announced by the CAA yet.
Well done Ed!
