EASA To Clarify Private Ops Regulations
Proposal addresses lack of regulatory operational framework for non-commercial operations performed by air operator certificate holders.

In a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) published on Tuesday, EASA addresses what it calls “safety issues related to the lack of regulatory operational framework for non-commercial operations performed by air operator certificate (AOC) holders with aircraft listed in the operations specifications," such as when business aircraft conduct positioning, maintenance check or training flights, among others. To this end, the NPA contains a minimum list of elements to be considered in the risk assessment process when the AOC holders follow operational procedures other than those normally used for their commercial air transport operations.
