D2. INITIAL ISSUE OF OPERATIONS SPECIFICATIONS D2.1 The Operations Specifications associated with an AOC are an integral part of the authorization under which the operator conducts operations. D2.2 The Operations Specifications identify the CAA office involved, the number of associated AOC, the name of operator, the date of issuance and the signature of the CAA official responsible for the issuance and show the make, model and series or master series of the aircraft, the type of operations and the geographical areas in which operations are authorized. D2.3 The Operations Specifications cover all aspects of the operations and includes special limitations and authorizations with criteria as applicable. D.2.3.1 In addition, Operations Specifications may include other specific authorizations, such as: a) special aerodrome operations (e.g. short take-off and landing operations or land and hold short operations); b) special approach procedures (e.g. steep gradient approach, instrument landing system precision runway monitor approach, localizer-type directional aid precision runway monitor approach, RNP approach); c) single-engine passenger transport at night or in instrument meteorological conditions; and d) operations in areas with special procedures (e.g. operations in areas using different altimetry units or altimeter setting procedures). D2.4 During the initial certification process for the issue of an AOC, the Operator makes out a draft of the Operations Specifications that they would like to have them issued with considering all operational aspects of their operations. These are forwarded to Flight Standards Directorate (FSD), CAA alongwith AOC Application including all the attachments as specified in ANO-001-FSXX-8.0. D2.5 When the initial certification process of Operator for the issue of an AOC has reached a successful conclusion, draft Operations Specifications submitted are then framed in final form. The initial issue of Operations Specifications (approved by DFS, CAA) is accomplished concurrently with the issue of the AOC and only then operations can commence. D3. VALIDITY OF OPERATIONS SPECIFICATIONS D3.1 The validity of the Operations Specifications shall be as that of the AOC (i.e. 01 year). The validity period of Operations Specifications may, however, be reduced by Director Flight Standards (DFS), CAA under delegated authority of DGCAA and indicated under the heading of Special Limitations. D4. AMENDMENTS TO THE OPERATIONS SPECIFICATIONS D4.1 Any subsequent change(s) to the Operations Specified on / to the equipment approved for use will necessitate amendments to the Operations Specifications. D4.1.1 The process for the amendment of Operations Specifications will be similar to the original certification process, with the exception that in many cases it will be less complex, dependent upon the subject of change that necessitates the amendment. Where changes involve new types of operations, new geographical areas or new aircraft, the appropriate level of complexity will have to be applied to the process. D4.2 Operator Requested Amendments D4.2.1 Application for amendment to any part of the Operations Specifications (Appendix A ) shall be completed with justification for the amendment required. This request form for amendment 01/05/2014 Page 3 of 8 ANO-002-FSXX-4.0
(Appendix B ) shall be signed by CAA approved representative of the operator and submitted to Flight Standards Directorate, CAA a minimum of 15 days before the effective date requested. D4.3 An amendment request must reach the designated office of the FSD a minimum of 15 days before the requested effective date. If FSD, CAA does not agree, for any reason, additional information or further justification may be required. In any event, the requested change will not be effected until such time that the additional information/justification has been provided and agreed to by FSD, CAA. D4.4 It may be possible to have an amendment approved in less time than specified; however, adequate reasons for such an urgency would have to be given by the Operator. Only in exceptional cases, less than the specified time may be anticipated. D4.5 CAA will, in no way, be responsible for any financial loss incurred by an Operator due to lack of forward or poor planning by an Operator on his own part. It is imperative that planning should be routinely completed in sufficient time for known requirements to be fulfilled. D4.6 The Operator shall not effect the amendment in any way until or unless they are in possession of a signed copy in this regard from Flight Standards Directorate, CAA. D4.7 In case the Certificate of Airworthiness (C of A) of an aircraft expires or is not renewed, the Operator shall inform Director Flight Standards, in writing, within seven (07) days of such an expiry. Thereafter, the Operator shall put up new Operations Specification for removal of the subject aircraft from its Operations Specification. D5.
