New rule development (Ctd)
What if new rule was not established
Old 21A.185 would be fully applicableAll PtF require Agency involvementNo possibility for privileges to organisations
No detailed requirements available
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 12
European Aviation Safety Agency
Permit to Fly: the new rules
Some important principles:Different types of PtF all covered by one ruleshared responsibility: Agency – NAAOld national PtF grandfatheredApplicable to EU registered aircraftValid in all member statesPrivileges for DOA and POA Maintenance rules in flight conditionsSeparate Subpart P: Permit to Fly
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 13
European Aviation Safety Agency
Different types of PtF all in one rule
Complicating factor for drafting Existing (R) C of A temporarily invalid
unapproved changeUnrepaired damage(long) due maintenance
Pre C of ATC not yet issued (Production) Flight testing
C of A or Restricted C of A not appropriate or not possible
Air racing / record breakingSome orphan aircraft
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 14
European Aviation Safety Agency
Shared responsibility Agency-NAA
Complicating factor for drafting: shared responsibility: Agency – NAA
Agency: All design issues
NAA: Conformity (production) C of A issuance and oversight Permit to Fly issuance Implementation of maintenance rules
Permit to Fly: often deviation from approved design: Agency involvement
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 15
European Aviation Safety Agency
PtF Grandfathering
Principle:All PtF or other certificate grandfathered until first expiry date or 28-3-08 maximumFor “permanent” PtF: flight conditions are grandfathered indefinitely (until need for change),unless Agency determines insufficient level of safety
(Reg 1702/2003 art. 2.e)
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 16
European Aviation Safety Agency
PtF applicability
PtF rules applicable only to aircraft registered in EU; orUnregistered when identification marking prescribed by MS
(Reg 1702/2003 art. 2.2)
Result: new rules do not cover validation of foreign PtF
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 17
European Aviation Safety Agency
PtF validity
PtF issued in accordance with new rules are valid in all Member States:No additional national conditions/limitations for domains covered by the approved flight conditionsHolder must comply with other local operational rules outside scope of PtFNational rules should not obstruct free circulation
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 18
European Aviation Safety Agency
DOA/POA privileges
DOA (possible) privileges:Approve flight conditions for all PtF except 21A.701(a)(15)Issue PtF when configuration controlled by DOA
POA (possible) privileges:Approve flight conditions and issue PtF for aircraft it produced when design is approved
In previous draft: privilege for CAMO: this will be subject of new NPA
25-05-07 Cologne Slide 19
European Aviation Safety Agency
Maintenance rules for PtF
According to 2042/2003 art. 3.3 aircraft under PtF are exempted from Part MIn stead: maintenance rules are defined in the flight conditionsIn most cases they can refer to Part M

Separate Subpart P
Initial drafts were amendments to Subpart H (airworthiness certificates)Due to complexity decided to create new subpartAs a consequence all references to PtF are deleted from subpart H
