Drafting principles for OPS rules
Safety focus
Risk-based approach.
Emphasis on SMS and oversight capabilities.
Strengthening operator and authority responsibilities.
Harmonisation
ICAO compatibility.
Harmonised rules with other regional regulators, e.g. FAA, TCAA.
Flexibility and efficiency
Safety objective – Implementing Rule level.
Method to comply with safety objective – AMC level.
Operator can develop its own alternative AMC.
Specific operational or geographical needs can be addressed.
Proportionality.
EASA 3010-12 Sept 2013
Drafting principles for OPS rules
Proportionality: CAT rules differentiate between; (1/2)
Organisation;
non-complex versus complex organisations.
Nature of operation;
local/A-to-A versus A-to-B operations.
Flight rules;
IFR and night versus VFR operations.
Crew;
single-pilot versus multi-pilot operations,
operations with cabin crew versus operations without cabin crew.
EASA 3110-12 Sept 2013
Drafting principles for OPS rules
Proportionality: CAT rules differentiate between; (2/2)
Aircraft;
non-complex aircraft versus complex aircraft,
single-engined aircraft versus multi-engined aircraft,
performance classes A, B and C for aeroplanes,
performance classes 1, 2, 3 and categories A and B for helicopters.
10-12 Sept 2013 EASA 32
Drafting principles for OPS rules
For transposing EU-OPS and JAR-OPS 3
Rules with a safety objective are transposed as IR.
Rules with a means to comply with a safety objective are transposed as AMC,
following this principle, most Appendices have been transposed as AMC.
Rules which could not obviously be classified as safety objective or means to comply are transposed as IR.
Notes and rules with explanatory character are transposed as GM.
Appendices with alleviations: 1.005(a), 3.005(f), 3.005(g) have been transposed into the applicable rules, where relevant.
EASA 3310-12 Sept 2013
Drafting principles for OPS rules
For transposing EU-OPS and JAR-OPS 3 (cont.)
Rules allowing an alternative if approved/accepted by the authority have been removed and are replaced:
For IRs by the Article 14 (BR 216/2008) procedure. *
For AMCs by the alternative means of compliance procedure.
EASA 3410-12 Sept 2013
Drafting principles for OPS rules
*Article 14 Flexibility provisions
14.1 Immediate reaction to a safety problem
14.4 Unforeseen urgent operational circumstances or operational need of a limited duration
MS shall notify the Agency, the Commission and the other MS. Assessment by the Agency within one month.
14.6 Other means to attain an equivalent level of protection
MS shall notify the Agency and the Commission of their intent. Assessment by the Agency within two months.
http://www.easa.europa.eu/regulations/flexibility-provisions.php
EASA 3510-12 Sept 2013
Drafting principles for OPS rules
For transposing EU-OPS and JAR-OPS 3 (cont.)
Rules requiring an approval are either
transposed as IR, or
if transposed as AMC have been removed (alternative MOC procedure).
Rules which are already covered in the essential requirements (ER) of the BR have been retained with link to the ER.
EASA 3610-12 Sept 2013
Drafting principles for OPS rules
For transposing EU-OPS and JAR-OPS 3 (cont.)
Rules containing “acceptable to the authority” have been transposed as“the operator shall specify in the OM”
Rules containing “if approved by the authority” have been transposed as an item requiring prior approval, or being included in the AOC.

� Acceptable means of compliance –AMC- and alternative means of compliance –AltMoC-
� The Agency shall develop AMC that may be used to establish compliance with Regulation 216/2008 and its implementing rules

� AMCs may be used to establish compliance with the Implementing Rules
� Both competent Authorities and organisations may propose AltMoC

� The CAA can itself propose AltMoC. If it chooses to do so, then these must be evaluated by the
CA.
� The CA, then must make them available to all organizations and persons under its oversight; and
without undue delay notify the Agency.

Annex II: Part-ARO.GEN
The Authority requirements were first proposed with the rules on FCL. Same structure: each contain general requirements (Subpart GEN) followed by area-specific requirements (subparts OPS, FC...)
The benefit is to have harmonised requirements.
The main elements of the managements system for authorities emulate those of the management systems for organisations
ISO 9001, IOSA, ICAO 8335, etc…
A management system supports effective safety management by containing a means for monitoring compliance, steaming risks and aiming at continuous improvement
