- Nota Adicional1
- Can be monoplane or biplane, and may have rear tail, canard or auxiliary engine. Demarcation line with glider or ultra-light aeroplane becoming blurred.
- Contexto
- The exact services to be provided will remain a national/provider issue. The service level should be adapted to the needs of the users. A commercial passenger airline does not necessarily have the same requirements as a hang-glider pilot, so several levels of service could be defined (e.g. ranging from those for commercial airliner to those for uncontrolled air activity).
