    Easy Access Rules

    for Continuing Airworthiness

    (Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014)

    EASA eRules: aviation rules for the 21st century

    Rules and regulations are the core of the European Union civil aviation system. The aim of the EASA

    eRules project is to make them accessible in an efficient and reliable way to stakeholders.

    EASA eRules will be a comprehensive, single system for the drafting, sharing and storing of rules. It

    will be the single source for all aviation safety rules applicable to European airspace users. It will offer

    easy (online) access to all rules and regulations as well as new and innovative applications such as

    rulemaking process automation, stakeholder consultation, cross-referencing, and comparison with

    ICAO and third countries’ standards.

    To achieve these ambitious objectives, the EASA eRules project is structured in ten modules to cover

    all aviation rules and innovative functionalities.

    The EASA eRules system is developed and implemented in close cooperation with Member States and

    aviation industry to ensure that all its capabilities are relevant and effective.
