Skyway Code Book

The Skyway Code V4
The Skyway Code has quickly become the most useful ‘pocket guide’ for General Aviation pilots involved in non-commercial and flight training operations in the UK. Filled with practical guidance on the operational, safety and regulatory issues relevant to GA flying, as a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) publication, The Skyway Code also provides the authoritative legal background to the post-EASA aviation landscape with references and links to the new rules and regulations that now govern the operation of General Aviation aircraft in the UK.
 
The Skyway Code is a living publication that is regularly reviewed to ensure it reflects the latest regulatory requirements and best aviation practice, condensing the ‘must know’ information on UK GA flying into easy to navigate information and graphics. The Skyway Code gives GA pilots a one stop shop for safety rules and advice, with subjects covered including:
Pre flight checks and flight planning
UK – FIR
Key Pilot responsibilities
Airspace rules and regulations
Aerodromes Operations
Risks and Emergencies
Tables and Codes
Flying outside the UK
Links to useful safety and regulatory resources
 
The Skyway Code also includes examples of radio phraseology, tables to work out crosswind components and ground marshalling signals.
