Aircraft operators have until May 30 to comment on the new air operations requirements (Notice of Proposed Amendment 2009-2) being introduced by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). However, the legislation through which the requirements will become European Union law is not expected to receive final approval from EU transport ministers until October 2010, after it is introduced as new legislation to the European Parliament before the end of this September. This will give operators less than 18 months to be fully compliant by the April 2012 implementation deadline.

The new rules are based on existing draft rules, such as EU-OPS, JAR-OPS 1 Amendment 13 (covering commercial fixed-wing operations), JAR-OPS 3 (covering commercial helicopter regulations) and JAR-OPS 2 and 4 (covering private aircraft operations). Most of these had been under development by EASA’s predecessor, the Joint Aviation Authorities. Fundamentally, they are based on the structure of ICAO’s Annex 6 rules.
