  1. EASA Working Group on regulation of non-complex motor aircraft engaged in non-commercial operations E Sivel (EASA) 2006 US/Europe annual international aviation safety conference Sport/recreational aviation workshop Portland, Oregon, USA

  2. Content of the presentation • Context • Important definitions • Additional considerations • Purpose of the working group • Coordination with other EASA regulatory tasks • Deliverables • State of play • Possible way forward • Conclusion MDM.032

  3. Context • Legislative proposal to extend the scope of EASA to Operations, licensing and third countries aircraft: • Introduce significant definitions (E.g. complex aircraft, commercial operations, recreational operations) • Propose to create a recreational private pilot licence (RPPL) • Propose essential requirements for operations and licensing. MDM.032

  4. Important definitions: Commercial • ‘commercial operation’ means: • a remunerated aeronautical activity covered by a contract between an operator and a customer, • where the customer is not, directly or indirectly, an owner of the aircraft used for the purpose of this contract and • the operator is not, directly or indirectly, an employee of the customer; MDM.032

  5. Important definitions: Recreational • ‘recreational operation’ means: • any non commercial operation with a non complex-motor-powered aircraft. MDM.032

  6. Important definitions: Complex • Complex-motor-powered aircraft means: • (i) an aeroplane: • with a maximum certificated take-off mass exceeding 5,700kg or; • with a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of more than 9 or; • certificated for operation with a minimum crew of at least 2 pilot or; • equipped with (a) turbojet engine(s); • (ii) a helicopter: • with a maximum certificated take-off mass exceeding 3,175kg or; • with a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of more than 5 or; • certificated for operation with a minimum crew of at least 2 pilots; • (iii) a tilt rotor aircraft; MDM.032

  7. Additional considerations • 2 years of implementation of Part-21 have shown that it creates a burden for General Aviation • A questionnaire is being sent to gather more data on this burden. • Implementing rules for general aviation may also include elements common to implementing rules dedicated to other types of operations. MDM.032

  8. Purpose of the working group • Regulation of aircraft other than complex motor powered aircraft, used in non-commercial activities: • Propose implementing rules for Operations and Licensing (RPPL) • Re-think the initial and continuing airworthiness framework. • Task is MDM.032 in EASA rulemaking programme. MDM.032

  9. Deliverables • Publish interim report on the concept for regulatory system and implementation measures July 2006. The interim report will be circulated as an A-NPA in accordance with article 14 of the Rulemaking procedures MDM.032

  10. Deliverables • Opinion to modify regulation (EC) 1592/2002 to introduce the new conceptfor airworthiness shall be issued by March 2007 following accelerated consultation process. • Opinion to modify airworthiness implementing rules not linkedto the changeto regulation (EC) 1592/2002 shall be issued by March 2007 following accelerated consultation process • NPA to change airworthiness implementing rules and associated AMC linked to the change to regulation (EC) 1592/2002shall be ready by September 2007. MDM.032

  11. Deliverables • Elements for NPA for recreational private pilot licence rules shall be ready by September 2007 MDM.032

  12. Deliverables • Elements for NPA for general operational rules shall be ready by September 2007 MDM.032

  13. Coordination with other EASA regulatory tasks • Need for coordination with the following tasks: • M.007 and M.017: simplified Part-M and associated AMC; Simplified Part-66 • FCL.001: implementing rules for pilot licensing based on JAR-FCL1, 2 and 3 and JAR-STD and input from MDM.032 • OPS.001: implementing rules for operations based on JAR-OPS1 and 3, draft JAR-OPS 0,2 and 4, EU-OPS and the input from MDM.032 MDM.032

  14. State of play • Working group held its first meeting in March 2006: • Membership: 3 authorities, Europe Air Sports (7), IAOPA(2); ECOGAS (2); EASA (3) • Intense debate to achieve exact membership • 3 meeting held: • 1st meeting: set the scene • 2nd and 3rd: brainstorming MDM.032

  15. Possible way forward • Initial Airworthiness: 8 options under evaluation • Extended DOA (Design organisation approval) with simple approval criteria • Extended DOA (Design organisation approval) with simple approval criteria and use of industry standards • No type certificates, Restricted certificates of airworthiness • 1 man DOA MDM.032

  16. Possible way forward • Initial Airworthiness: 8 options under evaluation • TC issued by competent authority or assessment bodies, no need for production and design organisation approval • Simplified certification specifications, extended DOA (for own TC), self certification or no DOA and certification by competent authority • Competent authority or assessment bodies, no TC, individual C of A, no production and design organisations approval • Adapt the general EU new and global approach for aeroplanes below 2000KG with two sub-categories (below 750 kg ; above 750 kg) MDM.032

  17. Possible way forward • Maintenance: 4 options under evaluation: • Maintenance done by competent person regularly checked, use of approved organisations optional; no licence for release to service, Airworthiness review certificate issued by assessment body or competent authority • Simplified Part-M and simplified part -66 licence MDM.032

  18. Possible way forward • Maintenance: 4 options under evaluation: • Use of industry standards • Owner full responsibility MDM.032

  19. Possible way forward • Licensing: 2 options under evaluation • Basic common licence based on ratings for different categories; step by step approach; link to regular PPL; unrestricted access to airspace and airports; no commercial licence for instructors; lighter medical requirements, simplified Instrument Rating • No medical; no licence renewal. MDM.032

  20. Possible way forward • Operations: to be discussed. MDM.032

  21. Possible way forward • Evaluation of options will be done using regulatory impact assessments MDM.032

  22. Conclusion • A lot of enthusiasm within the group. • Tight schedule but on track for the publication of the concept as an A-NPA in July 2006 • Your questions, comments and reactions are welcome. MDM.032
