This document is an

Alternative Means of Compliance (AltMoC) issued by FOCA

according to

Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 (Air Crew), ARA.GEN.120, or

Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (Air Operations), ARO.GEN.120

Preliminary Information

What is an AltMoC issued by FOCA?

The EASA homepage on the internet states (as of end 2016):

‘Since AMCs are non-binding, regulated persons may choose alternative means to comply with the rule. In this case, however, they lose the presumption of compliance provided by the EASA AMC, and need to demonstrate to competent authorities that they do comply with the law.

The implementing rules for Aircrew licensing, Air Operations, Aerodromes and Air Traffic Controller licensing describe the process to be used by regulated persons and competent authorities when they intend to use an AltMoC to comply with the rules.

Implementing Rules establish that the implementation of AltMoC by organisations is subject to prior approval by the competent authority and indicate what needs to be done in order to obtain the approval.

Implementing Rules also establish the obligations of competent authorities when giving the prior approval to an organisation and when they adopt themselves an AltMoC that can be used by the regulated organisations under their oversight.

One of the obligations stipulated in the Implementing Rules is to notify EASA of such AltMoCs. Competent authorities are requested to use the EASA prepared AltMoC Notification Form for notifying AltMoCs proposed by organisations or used by themselves.

For more information from EASA on AMC and AltMoC, please consult the FAQ.’

To these statements FOCA would like to add the following additional information:

- AltMoCs may not only be issued as alternative to an already existing AMC. FOCA may as well publish AltMoCs that cover issues where no AMC is available. Therefore, the term alternative may be slightly missleading in some cases.

- AltMoCs may be seen as an administrative ordinance in traditional Swiss legal doctrine. However, conditions, issuing power and legal effects are pure products of Union legislation. Legal practitioners, attorneys and courts in Switzerland, therefore, should not attempt to categorise AltMoCs under traditional national principles of administrative law. They should always bear in mind that AltMoC are genuine legal instruments of the EU aviation safety regulation.

What are the effects of an AltMoC issued by FOCA?

AltMoCs issued by FOCA have basically the same legal status and effect as AMCs. Except that the author of AltMoCs is not EASA but FOCA. AltMoCs are not evaluated by EASA in advance but are only reviewed during regular standardisation. Therefore, once released by FOCA, AltMoCs become immediately applicable to all parties under Swiss jurisdiction. In other words, they immediately may be used as an alternative to existing AMCs or they must be used if no such AMC is available. In either case they provide presumption of conformity with the essential requirements and the implementing rules.

However, AltMoCs do not have cross-border effect: an operator under foreign jurisdiction has no legal claim to his competent authority to allow use of an AltMoC issued by FOCA. And FOCA will not automatically accept in its jurisdiction the use of an AltMoC issued by foreign competent authorities.

FOCA AltMoC AoMP

ADMIN

*COO.2207.111.3.2976632*

Different matters are AltMoCs developed and requested by an ATO, operator or regulated person and which are not issued but only approved by FOCA. These have effect for the applicant only. Third parties must submit a complete application for their own including full proof that their AltMoC fulfils the legal requirements.

AltMoC may motivate EASA to initialise own rule making aiming an additional IR or additional AMC. The start of such rule making procedure does senso stricto not have any effect on the AltMoC until the time where a revised IR or a new AMC legally replaces the AltMoC. However, such rule making activities might increase the likelihood that competent authorities accept the underlying foreign AltMoC.
