8.33KHz Aviation Handheld Radios Approved for Operators of EASA Balloons, Dirigibles/Non-rigid Airships and Gliders

Following the announcement by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in 2013 to make 8.33kHz handportables legal for airborne use in the UK (Approval Number LA301075), the CAA has extended the approval to operators of EASA Balloons, Dirigibles/Non-rigid Airships and Gliders to also use handheld 8.33kHz radios airborne.

Information describing this has been published following discussions between the GA industry associations and the CAA. A number of conditions do apply and we suggest that you read the information notice in full. The information notice can be viewed here.
