Foreign and domestic operators of certain large aircraft flying under Part 91 or 135 to airports in the EU will need to register on EASA’s new environmental portal by March 31. The <a href="https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/application-forms/foapman00146">requirement</a> applies to aircraft with mtows of 75,000 pounds or more, or aircraft with 19 passenger seats or more.

 


Operators must submit the noise data pertaining to their specific serial-numbered airframe. There are two options for submitting the information: stand-alone noise certificates issued by the state of registry or copies of relevant pages from the airplane’s flight manual (AFM). Since the FAA doesn’t currently issue stand-alone certificates, that leaves only the second option for U.S.-registered aircraft.

 


For either option, “Make sure you also carry this information onboard in case you win yourself a ramp check,” noted international aviation information provider OpsGroup.

 


The pages from the AFM must provide the following information: aircraft registration, serial number, engine make and model, mtow and mlw, airworthiness certificate, and the Part 36 stage level applicable to the noise levels shown.

 


This requirement is similar but different from the third country operator (TCO) requirements. “The EU nominated EASA to be the responsible authority tasked with collecting this information into a separate database,” said OpsGroup.
