14 GA ROADMAP Update

15 GA Roadmap achievements Changes to the Basic Regulation: 2018: On-going* Part M Light: Opinion published in May 2016* Facilitate access to IFR (holistic approach across domains): NPA published in November 2016* Aircraft changes and repairs made easy (CS-STAN): Amendment 2 published in April 2017 More options for pilot training outside ATO (DTO): Opinion published in September 2016 Spare parts without EASA Form 1 (NPA ) Balloons - Air Operations Reg. 2018/395 Published 13 March 2018 Air Operations and licence Sailplane Rule Book: Rulemaking task on-going LAPL Medical Certificate: Done (Needs Safety Promotion) Modular LAPL: Opinion 08/2017 *Commission s process in progress Simpler Certification (Part 21 proportionality manufacturer approval): AMC planned for Q2/2018 Reorganisation of CS-23 using Industry standards: AMC in Dec 2017 GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 15

16 New EASA Basic Regulation A small Mobility and Transport 1

17 New EASA Basic Regulation Flexible and performance based system Risk and performance based elements reinforced (Art. 4) Additional flexibility for General Aviation (e.g. use of declarations) Safety plan for Europe and national safety plans (Chapter II) Opt-in for Annex I aircraft manufacturers (Art. 2(4)) Opt-in for state aircraft (Art. 2(6)) Opt-out for light sport aircraft (Art. Mobility and Transport

18 Things to look for (New BR Chapter III) Much of the detail moved to lower level rules (complex acft etc.) The new BR just gives a set of tools and options. Rest can be decided in lower level rules. Look for standard formulations for the risk-based approach: 'Unless otherwise established in the delegated/implementing acts '; 'Where the delegated/implementing acts so provide '; 'By way of derogation from '; ' situations in which, taking account of the nature and risk of the particular activity concerned, such certificates shall be required or shall not be required'. Annexes with Essential Requirements can be amended by Delegated Acts (except Annex I on excluded aircraft); GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 18

19 Main GA issues in text Proportionality, flexibility and risk hierarchy principles Flexibility throughout to use alternatives to certificates and checks. (Especially airworthiness alternatives to DOA/POA/CoA) EASA obliged to propose such lighter rules within 3 years of entry into force Sub-ICAO licenses and medicals possible (GP for all etc.) Or no medical at all GA-friendly qualified entities concept allowing GA organisations to take over many important authority tasks for EASA aircraft (Like e.g. DULV in DE or LAA in UK today for Annex II types); Unmanned aircraft now all in scope; Annex I (formerly Annex II) (excluded aircraft) 600kg opt-out, but also manufacturer opt-in possibilities; Also slight changes to weight limits Aerodromes with instrument approaches, but no instrument runway, now out of scope. GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 19

20 Continued Airworthiness (Maintenance) Part-66 & B2L licenses Part ML & CAO Parts without EASA Form 1 TE.GEN

21 New Part-66 licenses: B2L and L licences The B2L aircraft maintenance licence: For avionics and electrical systems. For aircraft other than those in the group of complex aircraft (Group 1). Based on system ratings. Progressive (eventually leading to a full B2, if so wished). The L aircraft maintenance licence: For airframe, power-plant, mechanical and electrical systems, radio, ELT, transponders and limited avionics. For sailplanes, powered-sailplanes, balloons, airships and ELA1 aeroplanes. No training required. Examination by NAA, Part-147 or anywhere agreed with NAA. It will replace at a certain point the current national qualifications. Current certifying staff under national rules will obtain the L-licence with the same privileges by conversion. GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 21

22 New Part-66 licenses: B2L and L licences Expected favourably vote by EU Commission in May 2018 and adoption as EU-regulation later in NAAs can start issuing the new licenses 6 month after adoption (2019) for B2L and from 1-Oct-2019 for L- licenses. The equivalent national licenses should have been converted to L-License by 1-Oct-2020 GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 22

23 Near future: Part-ML and Part-CAO Part-ML Applicable to private and commercial (except CAT) operations of: aeroplanes up to 2730 Kg, other ELA2 aircraft and helicopters up to 4 occupants and 1200 Kg. if they are not complex motor-powered aircraft. It allows more attributions to the pilot (deferment of certain defects) and certifying staff/maintenance organisations (airworthiness reviews). Maintenance programme not requiring authority approval GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 23

24 Future CAW regulation structure: Parts ML and CAO PROPOSED RULE STRUCTURE Non-CAT CAT Non-CMPA CMPA Non-CMPA CMPA Part-M Applicable only to non- Light aircraft (Light aircraft must follow Part-ML) Applicable Subpart F May still be used for 2 years after new Regulation. It disappears later. N/A N/A N/A Subpart G (CAMO) Disappears (transferred to Part-CAMO) Part-145 Part-66 Part-147 Part-T (Third country aircraft dryleased by EU AOC holders) Part-ML Part-CAMO (with SMS) Applicable Applicable Applicable N/A N/A Applicable Applicable Applicable to Light aircraft N/A N/A N/A Applicable Part-CAO (without SMS) Applicable N/A N/A N/A To be adopted by Commission EU (Expected in transition) 24

25 Near future: Part-ML and Part-CAO Part-CAO Applicable to organisation for maintenance/management of non-complex non-cat aircraft (some aircraft will follow Part- M and others Part-ML) Combines the privileges of a Subpart-F maintenance organisation and a CAMO. No SMS: They will continue with the current Quality System (or organisational reviews if the organisation is small). Introduces simplified requirements. GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 25

26 Medium future: alleviation from Form 1 for certain parts Regulatory activity aiming that certain spare parts can be installed during maintenance without a Form1. Concept proposal in NPA : Applicable only for not safety critical parts, as identified by the aircraft manufacturer (or by EASA in special cases). Specially interesting for light aircraft. Positive comments to NPA from the GA community. Opinion scheduled for end2018 GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 26

27 Certification CS-STAN CS-23 Part 21 proportionality TE.GEN

28 CS-STAN standard changes and repairs TE.GEN

29 The CS-STAN concept All changes and repairs are subject to approval (Part 21, Subparts D + M); but 21.A.90B and 21.A.431B allow to derogate for standard changes and repairs Specifications laid down in CS-STAN A set of provisions allowing the embodiment of simple changes or repairs to GA aircraft without a dedicated approval process, provided that specific conditions are met Purpose for allowing standard changes/repairs: Reduce the regulatory burden for embodiment of simple changes and repairs Facilitate introduction of more modern and safer equipment Limit certain illegal practices to modify or repair aircraft GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 29

30 CS-STAN evolution process Topics for CS-STAN next issue: new standard changes for balloons installation of flight time counters replacement of starter batteries installation of attachments / brackets for various purposes headset exchange clock replacement repainting of composite aircraft acrylic installation of weather warning functionality for VFR a/c improvement/ extension of existing provisions GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 30

31 Your contribution matters How can I contribute? a) Proposals and feedbacks can be submitted to the Agency b) The GA community site will contain: I. a generic topic to share experience on CS-STAN among GA community site II. a dedicated topic to discuss potential topics for CS-STAN evolution What if I have further questions? FAQ for CS-STAN will be introduced in the EASA website GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 31

32 CS 23 TE.GEN

33 First experiences with new CS 23 Some dates and numbers CS 23 amdt 5 effective from 15 Aug EASA AMC published Dec Including first set of accepted consensus standards At least 5 new TC applications Including evtol aircraft One major change (elect to comply) GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 33

34 First experiences with new CS 23 Confirmations Greater agitily in accomodating innovation Stronger focus on desired safety performance Challenges Integration of VTOL More decisions to be taken on project level Full Harmonization with FAA At requirements and MoC levels Crosslinks with ASTM standards sections GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 34

35 Part-21 Proportionality TE.GEN

36 Part 21 Proportionality Innovation is the future for GA New ideas and players on the market should be encouraged and supported Today s rules for design and production are challenging for start-up organisations Part 21 proportionality is intended to change that GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 36

37 Step 1 Developing (draft) AMC-ELA to Part-21 Today there are three +1 main problem areas: Existing AMC/GM to Part-21 is written for large aircraft and companies; especially POA is lacking alternatives Non-natural split between approvals for DOA & POA (and Maintenance) of small, consolidated teams Part-21 Section B (Procedures for competent authorities) mandate a process-oriented approach We want flexibility and scale-ability in a regulatory rigid system GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 37

38 Step 2 Fundamental changes to Part-21 Develop a new approach for Part-21 we are not alone! GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 38

39 Conclusions for now!! Complete the restricted AMC-ELA (2018/Q2) Develop the new concept for Part-21 (A-NPA 2018) GA Roadshow Soesterberg (NL) 39
