Comparaison between possible cases


What is a « marginal activity »

The term ‘marginal activity’ should be understood as representing a very

minor part of the overall activity of an organisation, mainly for the

purpose of promoting itself or attracting new students or members. An

organisation intending to offer such flights as regular business activity is

not considered to meet the condition of marginal activity. Also, flights

organised with the sole intent to generate income for the organisation,

are not considered to be a marginal activity.

567. Declaration

• The declaration must be sent to the BCAA that should acknowledge

receipt in writing within 10 working days.

• The verification of the declaration made by the BCAA upon receipt of

a declaration does not imply an inspection. The aim is to check

whether what is declared complies with applicable regulations.

Differences between audit and inspection?

‘Audit’ means a systematic, independent and documented process for

obtaining evidence and evaluating it objectively to determine the extent

to which requirements are complied with.

‘Inspection’ means an independent documented conformity evaluation

by observation and judgement accompanied as appropriate by

measurement, testing or gauging, in order to verify compliance with

applicable requirements.

Ref.: GM4 ORO.GEN.200(a)(6)


• Performed by the BCAA Ops directorate

– Initial audit not later than 12 months after the first declaration

received

– After initial audit, at least 1 on-site visit within each 48 months

cycle

– Additional audits/inspections may be carried out when the BCAA

deems appropriate.

Ref: AMC1 ARO.GEN305(d)

regulations allow a derogation.

An organisation that want to make use of the derogation with regard to

marginal activities shall demonstrate to the BCAA, with a detailed list of

overall activities of the preceding 3 years (Tandem jump, solo jump,...)

and other relevant data permitting a classification of the organisation,

that those commercial activities were only a marginal part of the overall
