Communication / Navigation

Instruments

Auto-flight

Surveillance

Airframe systems

L-licence: this is a very simple licence for the most simple aircraft. This licence covers:

NPA 2012-15. A total of 124 comments addressed in CRD 2012-15.

Opinion expected 2nd quarter 2015.

Introduces a change in dates in Article 8 “Entry into force” for the maintenance of ELA1 aeroplanes not involved in commercial air transport (to be discussed in EASA Committee),

(i) until 28 September 2018, the requirement for the competent authority to issue aircraft maintenance licences in accordance with Annex III (Part-66), as new or as converted pursuant to point 66.A.70 of the same Annex;

(ii) until 28 September 2019, the requirement to have certifying staff qualified in accordance with Annex III (Part- 66) contained in the following provisions:

M.A.606(g) and M.A.801(b)2 of Annex I (Part-M),

145.A.30(g) and (h) of Annex II (Part- 145).”



•10

Task RMT.0245 “CS for standard changes and repairs”Allows the embodiment of “standard” changes/repairs on certain aircraft when defined conditions are fulfilled (without a design approval).

Document similar to the FAA AC 43-13 but replacing the field approval of the FAA system (which does not exist in Europe) by the release issued by Part-66 certifying staff.

Proposed NPA refers to certain repairs/changes included in FAA AC43-13 and in certain existing national documents.

NPA 2014-24 published in October 2014. 370 comments received.

Decision 2nd quarter 2015.

Phase II to develop further standard repairs/changes.


7th Airworthiness Standardisation Meeting


Task MDM.082 “New training/teaching technologies”

NPA 2014-22 published in September 2014.

Workshop performed in September 2014.

410 comments received

Most of the comments are favourable, but proposing simpler, better solutions, or better wording.

Many comments received (along with the proposals for change) on Appendix VII “Assessment method for multimedia-based training (MBT) systems” and the assessment table.

Two Review Group meetings in 2015

Opinion 1st quarter 2016


•12

Task RMT.0393 “Maintenance check flights”Issues addressed: Flight programme preparation, crew selection and qualification, personnel on board, interfaces with CAMOs, aircraft status. ELA1 and ELA2 aircraft excluded.

After the CRD 2012-08, some organisations have requested to change/remove the proposed experience requirements (number of Flight Hours) for the flight crew and to leave it more to the call of the operator (SMS / Performance Based Rules).

Coordination is being performed with the task RMT.0348 “Flights related to Design/Production” before issuing an Opinion 3rd quarter 2016




Task RMT.0276 “Technical records”The objective is to clarify the following:

Inconsistency in the use of terms such as “Life Limited Parts” and “Service Life Limited Parts”

Whether “Back to birth traceability” is needed.

Guidance on the use of electronic signature, the acceptability of scanned record copies and the use of new technology such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).

NPA 2014-04 was published in February 2014. 350 comments received. Two review group meetings in 2015. Some comments:

Time Controlled Components: definition and status including life accumulated by component

General aviation: consistency with work in Part-M GA (Phase II), summary entries in the logbooks

In-service history record for each Life Limited Part

Records keeping period

Opinion 3rd quarter 2016


•14

Task M.014 “Contracting of continuing airworthiness management activities”

To allow any CAT operators to contract its continuing airworthiness management to an external CAMO and remove the requirement to hold a CAMO approval themselves

Task is necessary to support the development of more efficient business models

NPA 2010-09 published in July 2010

Highly controversial task (total support from Industry, significant rejection from certain NAAs)

EASA will discuss the issue with dissenting NAAs

EASA will work on issuing an opinion in coordination with second phase of SMS, for consistency purposes, to be published in 2016


147th Airworthiness Standardisation Meeting

Task MDM.055 “SMS embodiment and alignment with AR/OR requirements”

NPA 2013-01 published on 21 January 2013.

Covers Part-M and Part-145 (aprox 1300 comments)

NPA 2013-19 published on 10 October 2013.

Covers Part-147, -66 (aprox 190 comments)

The intention is to split the task:

Since Part-M is linked to the operator (OPS rules require SMS) – Opinion (covering only CAMOs) in 2015 based on the published NPA.

For Part-145, Part-147, POA, DOAs and Section B, there will be a new re-evaluation (and new NPA).



•16

Task RMT.0547 “Task force for the review of Part-M for General Aviation (Phase II)”

Some expected features:

Light Part-M (new Annex VI to Reg (EU) 1321/2014). Organisation requirements (CAMO, Subpart F organisations) kept in Part-M;

Applicable to all ELA2 aircraft plus those helicopters certified for up to 4 occupants up to 1200 Kg MTOM, regardless of type of operation;

Owners/operators can choose to apply Part-M or Part-ML;

Defects Management:

Defect on non-required equipment may be deferred by the pilot,

Defect on required equipment to be deferred using MEL,

Other defect may be deferred by the pilot with the authorisation of the owner (only for non-commercial aircraft)

NPA to be published in 2nd quarter 2015

NPAs to be issued shortly


Task RMT.0521 “Review of the airworthiness review process”

Discussion on the following:Structure of the requirements

Need for and definition of controlled environment

Recommendations (as an intermediate step before the authority issues the ARC)

Independence from the airworthiness review process and from the maintenance release of the aircraft (AMC M.A.707(a)).

Sampling of documents during the airworthiness review

Content of the review

Open findings when issuing an ARC

Control of the airworthiness review process and prospective effects if more than one person is involved, including staff entitled to perform the airworthiness review and staff entitled to sign the ARC.

Transfer between Member States.

NPA expected 3rd quarter 2015



Task RMT.0278 “Importing of aircraft from other regulatory systems”

Objectives:Mitigate potential safety risks linked to the fact that the aircraft did not comply with the EU rules prior to being registered/imported, and to facilitate a common understanding of the approach to be followed, in terms of recognition of other certificates and/or records issued by other stakeholders to the aircraft involved,

Clarify current ambiguities in the rules related to issuance of CofA in order to achieve standardised implementation and equal treatment in all Member States.

NPA expected 4th quarter of 2015.



•19

Task RMT.0106 “CS and GM for maintenance certifying staff type rating training”

Main objective: improve the level of safety by requiring the applicant for a TC or Restricted TC for an aircraft to identify the minimum syllabus of maintenance certifying staff type training, including the determination of type rating.

This minimum syllabus, together with the requirements contained in Part-66, will form the basis for the development and approval of Part-66 type training courses.

NPA 4th quarter 2015



•20

RMT.0544 “Review of Part-147”Address the safety-critical issues as fraud by Part-147 organisations during basic examinations not linked to a basic training course
