Safety programme:
The ICAO requirements
States shall establish a State safety programme,
in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety.
Acceptable level of safety to be achieved shall be
established by the State.
States shall require, as part of their State safety
programme, that an [organisation] implement a
safety management system acceptable to the
State of the Operator […].
European Aviation Safety Agency
European Aviation Safety
Programme (EASP)
Because of the sharing of competences
between EU and MS, MS cannot establish a
SSP
Collaboration between European Commission,
EASA and Member States is needed
Elements for a EASP are being drafted by an
informal group, to be presented to all
Member States
Objective is to have a manual along the lines of
the ICAO SSP framework
European Aviation Safety Agency
3. Authority requirements OPS – AR.OPS
European Aviation Safety Agency
AR.OPS Content
Subpart AR.OPS
Specific requirements for operations – operator
certification and declaration
Recognition of industry standards for oversight
purposes
Approval of individual flight time limitation
schemes
Specific approvals (OPS.SPA)
European Aviation Safety Agency
AOC
The Competent authority shall issue an AOC
when it is satisfied that the operator is in
compliance with Part OPS and Part OR.
The certificate shall include the associated
operations specifications and general conditions.
European Aviation Safety Agency
Changes to AOC
In the case of minor amendments to the
operations manual not affecting the terms of the
certificate, the competent authority shall ensure
that it has an adequate control over the approval
of all manual amendments.
The competent authority shall prescribe the
conditions under which an operator may operate
during such changes.
European Aviation Safety Agency
Code share arrangements 1
Before authorizing  the CA shall make sure
that the third country operator
Holds an authorisation in accordance with Part TCO
Is in compliance with Annex IV of the Basic
Regulation (audit report provided by the
Community operator)
There are no open findings on the third country
operator
European Aviation Safety Agency
Leasing (wet and dry)
A lease-in agreement of a third country aircraft
used by a Community operator can only be
authorised when the conditions in
OR.OPS.030.AOC are complied with.
The authorising competent authority is the one
which has certified the operator.
European Aviation Safety Agency
Specific operations approvals
The competent authority shall issue an approval,
including operational specifications after it has
verified compliance with OPS.SPA.020.GEN.
The competent authority shall agree with the
operators it certifies the scope of the changes to
the organization's procedures that require prior
approval.
European Aviation Safety Agency
Minimum equipment list
The competent authority shall issue an MEL
approval after it has verified compliance with the
applicable requirements.
The competent authority shall approve a
procedure for the extension of the applicable
Rectification Intervals notified by an operator
when the conditions in OR.OPS.020.MLR are
complied with.
European Aviation Safety Agency
CS’s and individual flight time
specification schemes
The competent authority shall evaluate individual
flight time specification schemes to verify
compliance with the safety objectives and

4. Authority requirements Cabin crew – AR.CC
European Aviation Safety Agency
Cabin Crew
Part AR
Subpart CC
Section I

Organisations providing cabin crew
training
Approval of organisations providing cabin crew training
Section II
Cabin crew attestations
Procedures for the issue of a cabin crew attestation
 Format and specifications for cabin crew attestations
 Limitation, suspension or revocation of cabin crew
attestations

European Aviation Safety Agency
Cabin crew competence related elements
still subject to national provisions
BR does not require common criteria to be specified
for the approval of organisations providing cabin crew
training
NPA proposal: approval based on national requirements/procedures
BR does not require common criteria to be specified
for the qualifications of instructors and examiners
Area remaining subject to national provisions
European Aviation Safety Agency
Cabin crew competence related elements
still subject to national provisions
BR does not require the issuance of medical certificates
NPA proposal: since medical assessment of unfitness may
lead to limitation, suspension or revocation of the cabin crew
attestation by the competent authority, information shall be
provided by the AME to the said competent authority


but only in case of ‘suspected unfitness’ or ‘unfit assessment’, and
according to procedures to be established by the competent
authority
European Aviation Safety Agency
Conclusions
Authority requirements provide grounds to
work in a way which:
ensures better consistency between approvals
of activities
enhances collaboration between EASA MS
provides oversight efficiency
identifies risks with a view to enhancing
oversight
European Aviation Safety Agency
Conclusions
Safety management is a new challenge for
competent authorities
An integrated system needs to be established:
At community level: EASP
At MS level: SSP
Authority Requirements provide the legal grounds
for this system
European Aviation Safety Agency
