Joint discussions between the CAA, the AOA and the GAAC have also led to the publication of  the following advice notes on Aerodrome Safeguarding. These advice notes have been distributed to all planning authorities involved in the official safeguarding of major airports and technical sites. For most GA aerodromes the aerodrome operator is responsible for self safeguarding under "non official" safeguarding arrangements. The general principles set down in these advice notes apply to all aerodromes regardless of size. Further and more detailed guidance in relation to GA aerodrome safeguarding is available from the GAAC.

Circular guidance to planning authorities on official and non-official safeguarding is contained in ODPM & DfT Circular 01/2003 which describe the revised arrangements for aerodrome Safeguarding in England and Wales. These documents are available on the DfT and CAA Web Sites. The general principles of this Circular are also applicable to all aerodromes whether officially or non-officially safeguarded. Separate arrangements have been made for the revision of safeguarding advice in Scotland through the Scottish Executive.
