Meeting with EASA

• April 2008 Meeting regarding OPS
• Participants included ECA AEA ASD
• OPS rules need to be based on JAR OPS, with a
  familiar structure
• Downgrade of status of rules to AMC
• Delay asked for in publishing of OPS NPA, with
  EU OPS soon implemented no need to rush
• Outcome Patrick Goudou continuing for 5 years
• No delay required

7
Ops Implementation

• EU OPS is considered minimum regulation, EASA OPS
  is considered not the minimum but the regulation.
• April 2012 deadline set by EU Parliament and this
  must drive the implementation timetable.
• Complexity and changes are considered not to be a
  problem to Operators that will not notice a
  change.
• Argument is that many JAR Rules currently end
  with unless the Authority deems otherwise. This
  they feel means that these JAR rules should be
  AMC.
• Real reason may be that EASA wants power to
  change AMC at will without discussion.

8
APEs

• APEs (Advisory Panel of Experts)
• This is envisaged as not being like JAA with
  never ending discussion, but more of a feedback
  group with no requirement of EASA to follow their
  deliberations.
