Post-Brexit the UK CAA runs its own show — Part-FCL for licensing, ORO for ops, M for maintenance. AviationAlley speaks all three and ships with audit-grade controls that align with the CAA's risk-based oversight model.
EGLLBritish Airways + Virgin Atlantic; large Part-CAT simulator operations
EGKKeasyJet UK HQ + multiple ATO operations
EGCCMajor Northern UK operations base + corporate fleets
EGPHLoganair + Scottish operations + helicopter training cluster
Same operation, different label. AviationAlley's module-gating system maps cleanly onto United Kingdom's regulatory structure.
| US (FAA) | United Kingdom (UK) | What's similar / different |
|---|---|---|
| FAR Part 141 | UK ATO / DTO | Approved Training Organisation (ATO) for type ratings; Declared Training Organisation (DTO) for PPL-tier training. |
| FAR Part 142 | UK ATO + Part-FSTD | Flight Simulation Training Device approval is governed under Part-FSTD; combined with the ATO certificate for the training organisation. |
| FAR Part 121 | UK Part-ORO + Part-CAT | Commercial Air Transport operations. Flight Time Limitations (FTL) under ORO.FTL — equivalent to FAR 117 with different cap values. |
| FAR Part 135 | UK Part-ORO + Part-NCC/SPO | Non-commercial complex (NCC) for corporate, Specialised Operations (SPO) for charter/aerial work. |
| AAIP | UK Part-M / Part-CAMO | Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation — the maintenance program structure for AOC holders. |
UK Part-FCL (flight crew licensing), UK ORO (organisation requirements), UK Part-M (continuing airworthiness). Equivalent in shape to EASA — diverged on details post-Brexit. The audit log is filterable for CAA Inspection visits the same way we filter FAA evaluators.
Default deployment is US-region (Vercel). UK-region hosting is available for enterprise customers — we can deploy to AWS London or Vercel's EU region with a customer-paid migration.
Yes — pilot credentials can record both UK CAA and EASA licenses on the same row. The credentialKind enum is intentionally permissive so multi-jurisdiction crew records work cleanly.
Same compliance posture as EU GDPR for UK operations. The /privacy page documents data-processor terms; DPAs are available for enterprise contracts.
