Rulemaking process • Initiation: • Draw up Terms of Reference after consulting AGNA and SSCC and publication • definition of task • timetable • format of deliverable • Choose between drafting group or Agency resources • If drafting group: Agency decides on composition after consulting AGNA and SSCC • Agency to provide support to groups EASA Rulemaking

  20. Rulemaking programme • OPS.001 Extension to Air Operations • Develop implementing rules based on JAR-OPS 0,1,2,3 and 4 and “EU-OPS” and the input from the group MDM.032 • OPS.004 Extension to Third country aircraft • Develop implementing rule based on SAFA Directive and FAR-129 EASA Rulemaking

  21. Rulemaking programme • MDM.032 Non –complex aircraft used in non-commercial operations • It will deal mainly with interoperability requirements that are common to all types of activities and the regulation of non complex aircraft used in non-commercial activities. This covers a Part OPS 0 and the requirements for issuing the envisaged Recreational PPL. Finally this group will be invited to make suggestions for rethinking the regulatory framework (as proposed in GERT) and adapt it to the complexity of the aircraft. In other words, this group will be required to propose a coherent system adapted to the needs the smaller end of civil aviation as the American FAA did itself when devising its rules for the regulation of light sport aviation.

  22. Rulemaking programme • FCL.001 Extension to Flight Crew Licensing - based on JAR-FCL 1, 2, 3 and JAR-STD • Develop Implementing Rules for pilot licensing and qualification of other personnel, based on JAR-FCL 1, 2, 3 and JAR-STD, ICAO Annex 1, EU-OPS, and the input from the group MDM.032 EASA Rulemaking
