Consultation closed on 8 July 2025. We received 9 survey responses to this consultation and 4 written submissions.

Of the 9 survey respondents:

  • 5% were negative
  • 38% received no response

View submitted responses where consent has been given.

The associated general exemption has been drafted, and we aim to release it in line with AC 139.10 in Q1 2026.

Consultation commenced -

On 10 June 2025, we opened consultation on draft advisory circular (AC) 139.10 v1.0: Guidelines for vertical flight aircraft facilities at aerodromes designed for aeroplanes.

We intended the AC to provide guidance to aerodrome and aircraft operators in the planning, design and operation of facilities for both:

  • helicopters
  • vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capable aircraft (VCA).

It applies to facilities located on an aerodrome that the designers of which may have only designed for fixed-wing aeroplanes.

IN2: Consider a regulatory framework to support RPAS and AAM infrastructure (for example vertiports, vertipads)

Establish a regulatory framework to support the infrastructure needs for RPAS and AAM operations, including vertiports and vertipads. This framework will outline the rules and standards to ensure safety, efficiency, and integration of AAM infrastructure into regional and urban environments.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
