Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

The directive requires LPG cylinders used on certain hot‑air balloons (Aerial Work and Charter operations without dual blast valves or dual burners) to be connected to a fuel manifold system approved by the Secretary, and compliance is required before a certificate of airworthiness will be issued. It affects owners/operators who must install approved manifolds and secure approval, creates administrative discretion around approval, and incentivises fitting excluded dual valves/burners to avoid the requirement.
