##  EASA: Remit 

**Its Remit:**
- Currently the Regulation 1592/2002 establishes Community competency only for the regulation of the _airworthiness_ and _environmental compatibility of products_
- Work is being done to extend the scope of this regulation to _air operations_ and _flight crew licensing_
- Ultimately it could also cover the safety regulation of _airport operations_ and later to _air traffic control services_

## EASA: Organisation

**Organisation**
- Agency organised around its 3 main functions (see slide 8)
- Rulemaking
- Certification
- Standardisation and Quality
- 		Standardisation: Inspection of Member States
- Committee, Management Board and Advisory Bodies:
- EASA Committee: regulatory; safeguard and advisory
- Management Board and Advisory Bodies

## EASA: REGULATION ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

*** ***

**Full set of regulatory texts is available  for initial and continued airworthiness.**
**Certification procedures are available for Products, ****Organisations and ****Guidelines for outsourcing**

## Rulemaking: Review of working groups

**Liaising with Quality and Standardisation Directorate**
- In 2005 19 MAST and 7 POAST inspection visits took place.
- In 2006 26 MAST and  16 POAST inspection visits are to take place.
- Main findings are Eastern aircraft, Part M and Part 66 implementation.
**Liaising with stakeholders**
- A part-M workshop was organised for general aviation.
- 9 Part-145 local workshop have been organised in 2005
- A Part-66, Part-147 and Part M workshop have been organised in Cologne in April / May 2006
**Results of the RIA (NPA 07/2005) on Part-M (M-017)**
- An NPA proposing amendments for non-commercial** **aircraft has been  published. Comment period has been extended at request of the General Aviation community.
**Development of a revised EASA General rulemaking template including:**
- Set-up of rulemaking group MDM.032 to develop rules for non complex aircraft used in non-commercial operations
**Work is underway to implement an Orphan Aircraft Policy**

## Rulemaking:Extension of the Agency’s scope

**Developing opinions for IRs and decisions for AMC on OPS/FCL**
- Commission proposal was published on 15th November 05. The legislative process is under way.
**Communication from the Commission on ATM and Airport published on 15 November 2005 **
- NPA published mid may 06

## Part-M The Concept

**Notes:**
EC asked for concept. In yellow is CAT, system already in place. 
JAR-66 will be adapted to include small aircraft, excluding components, gliders and balloons. 
The cut: heavy and complex, light and simple will be discussed later. 

## EUROPEAN MAINTENANCE STRUCTURE – Part M

- Light / Simple Aircraft used forNon – Commercial Air Transport

- Part – 66 Certifying Staff

**EUROPEAN MAINTENANCE STRUCTURE – Part M**

- CommercialAir Transport&
- Aircraft
- Certificated
- to ECAS 25
- & multi engined
- helicopter
- Valid
- Certificate
- of
- Airworthiness

- Non
- CommercialAir TransportAircraft
- Valid
- Certificate

- Airworthiness

- Obligatory

- Alternatives

**Notes:**
Red box is CAT and heavy/complex. Green box is light and simple. 
Subpart G1 is JAR-OPS 1 subpart M as part of AOC.
AC43 will be used for Maintenance Standards.  

## Operations, Licensing and Third Country Aircraft

**Summary of the EC Communication -****(1)**
- Essential Requirements covering pilot licensing and air operations introduced as additional Annexes to the Basic Regulation.
- Commercial operations in the Community by third country operators shall be subject to Community legislation.
- Third country aircraft, more or less permanently based in the territory of MS shall be subject to the same rules as EU registered aircraft. All third country aircraft operated by third country operators shall be subject to the same Community operational specifications as EU registered aircraft
- All types of activities, encompassing commercial, corporate and recreational aviation shall be covered by Community legislation, except for the activities of aircraft listed in a slightly amended Annex II of regulation 1592/2002.

## Operations, Licensing and Third Country Aircraft

**Summary of the EC Communication ****–(2)**
- Commercial activities shall be subject to implementing rules covering pilot licensing and air operations and  based on JAR-FCL and JAR-OPS 1, 3 and 4 and carried out at national level.
- Non-commercial activities involving complex motor-powered aircraft shall be based on JAR-FCL and JAR-OPS 2 and carried out at national level, but air operators shall not be subject to a certification process, a simple declaration will suffice.

## Operations, Licensing and Third Country Aircraft

**Summary of the EC Communication ****–(3)**
- For non-commercial activities involving non-complex motor-powered aircraft (mainly general aviation and recreational activities):
- A recreational PPL will be introduced as a “lighter” license and the Essential Requirements for operations will be directly applicable.
- For non-commercial activities involving non-complex motor-powered aircraft (mainly general aviation and recreational activities):
- Light implementing rules based on JAR-OPS 0 shall however be developed to mandate operational specifications.
- Enforcement shall normally be at national level but the recreational PPL shall be issued by qualified bodies accredited by the Agency or NAA on the basis of common rules.

## Operations, Licensing and Third Country Aircraft

**Work in progress – (4)**
- General considerations
- General EASA regulation template (GERT) – Under discussion
- Implementing rules
- Regulation of non complex aircraft not involved commercial activities (MDM-032) – Terms of reference adopted – Group has started.
- Operations implementing rules (OPS-001) – Terms of reference to be published for consultation in the next weeks
- Flight crew licensing implementing rules (FCL-001) – Terms of reference to be published for consultation in the next weeks
- Implementation rule for third country aircraft– Terms of reference to be published for consultation by the end of September

## Rulemaking: MDM-032

**State of work: **started** **March 2006; last meeting: 19/20 June 06
**July 2006: Publish interim report on the concept for regulatory system and implementation measures. **
- The interim report will be circulated as an A-NPA in accordance with article 14 of the Rulemaking procedures
_**March 2007:**_** Issue Opinion to modify regulation (EC) 1592/2002 to introduce the new concept for airworthiness **
- Accelerated consultation process
_**March 2007:**_** Issue Opinion to modify airworthiness implementing rules not linked to the change to regulation (EC) 1592/2002 **
- Accelerated consultation** **process

## Rulemaking: MDM-032

_**September 2007:**_** finish **
- Elements for NPA for recreational private pilot licence rules.
- Elements for NPA for general operational rules.
- NPA to change airworthiness implementing rules and associated AMC linked to the change to regulation (EC) 1592/2002.

## Rulemaking: M-017

**Part-M adopted on 28 November 2003**
**Opt-out possible until 28 September 2008**
**RIA carried out end 2004 early 2005**
**NPA 7/2005 published and commented**
- The NPA concludes to the need to develop more AMC material (Task M-017)
**The decision is taken to extend the role of the drafting group to**
- CRD to NPA7/2005
- Review the former JAR-66 B3 licence for light aircraft
- Propose other changes to Part-M
