HE new Air Navigation Regulations were issued by the Air Ministry early this week, and appear to contain certain modifications and changes on various points. Time has not permitted a thorough perusal of the Regulations, but a few outstanding items may be noted. Fuller particulars and further comment will be published in next week's FLIGHT. The principal clause of the Order refers to the inclusion of all British aircraft registered in Air . Great Britain and Northern Ireland aOrder°n wherever such aircraft may be, and to foreign aircraft when in or over Great Britain and Northern Ireland. A further extension of the Order provides that an aircraft cannot avoid liability for compliance with the Order because it is not registered. As in previous years, the Regulations provide for the machines of countries not signatories to the International Air Convention being allowed to fly over this country under special international agreements.

Whereas it has hitherto been necessary for the aircraft and engine log books to be carried on the machine, this will not be required in the future, but the journey log book must be carried and must contain the airworthiness certificate of the machine. So far as we have been able'to discover in the limited time at our disposal, no special provision has yet been made for the inclusion of rules applying to light aeroplanes. On the contrary, power is taken to require proof of medical fitness and recent flying experience from candidates for private pilot's licences. This is a point to which we hope to return in more detail next week. Evidently with an expansion of the existing air services in view, the Order stipulates that in future aircraft carrying more than 10 passengers, and making a continuous flight between two points more than 310 miles apart over land, or a night flight, or a flight between two points more than 124 miles apart over the sea, shall carry a navigator. In view of the number of things the pilot of a modern aeroplane has \ .' c
