EASA Air Ops

Become fully effective 25 Aug 16

Do we need to comply/understand?

• FAR 91.703

• Operations of civil aircraft of U.S. registry

outside of the United States.

• When within a foreign country, comply

with the regulations relating to the flight

and maneuver of aircraft there in force

Where can I find them?

• Google “Easy Access Rules for Air

Operations”

19

Question?

Before now, have you heard of the new EASA Air Ops

regulations?

1. Yes

2. No

20

Where does Part NCC fall?

21

Parts of the Air OPS regulation (EU) No 965/2012 applicable to NCC operations:

• ‘Cover’ Regulation Air operations

• Annex I: Definitions for terms used in Annexes II to VIII

• Annex II: Part-ARO: Authority requirements

• Annex III: Part-ORO: Organization requirements

• Annex V: Part-SPA: Operations requiring specific approvals

• Annex VI: Part-NCC: Non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered

aircraft (CMPA)

EASA Air Ops

22

Operators of complex motor-powered aircraft flying non-commercial flights:

• with an aircraft that is registered in an EASA State; or,

• with an aircraft that is registered in a non-EASA State but where the

operator is established or residing in an EASA State

Who is affected?

23

From UK CAA

Affected operators must:

• have an operations manual

• have a management system

• complete and submit a declaration to the CAA which details their aircraft

type, their operational and continuing airworthiness arrangements, any

approvals held along with any other relevant information

• once compliant, operators of aircraft affected by the Regulations that are a

resident or have their principal place of business in the UK must make their

declaration to us

EASA Air Ops & EVS

26

Question?

EVS equipped operators, do you use EVS in Europe with

reduced RVR and take an operational credit?

1. Yes

2. No

27

Specific Approvals

• For Part 91 operations, approval is FAR 91.175 for US ops

• Annex G of the ICAO AWOM

Operational credit down to 100’

• New EASA Air Ops Part NCC

Operational credit down to 100’ w/specific approval

28

So What’s the Problem?

• Regulators outside of US don’t view 91.175 as Specific Approval

• An OpSpec or LOA allowing an operational credit would be ideal!

• FAA is not issuing LOAs for Part 91 operators

29

HUD/EVS – Understanding ICAO provisions applicable to International

General Aviation Operations

Operational use of HUD/EVS

Providing the operator fulfills the criteria established by the State of Registry,

there is no need for the operator to apply for an operational approval nor for

the regulator to issue an explicit approval (i.e. LOA).

IBAC Bulletin 14-03

30

What Should I Do?

Recommend only using EVS outside of the US for increased

situational awareness, not operational credit

31

Luton (EGGW) Notes

• Holding Point Busts are down, but still a problem, especially at B2, A5, E1, A7, D3

• Pay attention to ATC instructions!

• Pushback errors

• Wrong way, without clearance, before conditional clearance

• Incorrect Turns, most common at B2 joining taxiway Alpha

• Phraseology

• Must readback “Hectopascals”

• Must include left/right taxi instructions in readback
