<strong>EASA</strong> competence: only for aircraft<br />
Aircraft (definition in ICAO Ann. 6 & 8):<br />
“Any machine that can derive support in <strong>the</strong> atmosphere<br />
from <strong>the</strong> reactions of <strong>the</strong> air o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> reactions of<br />
<strong>the</strong> air against <strong>the</strong> earth’s surface”<br />
Machines able to fly in <strong>the</strong> atmosphere sustained by wings<br />
are aircraft<br />
Aircraft are in <strong>the</strong> competence of <strong>EASA</strong><br />
Rockets are in <strong>the</strong> competence of Member States<br />
Aeroplanes limits <strong>the</strong> scope to fixed-wings aircraft<br />
<strong>Sub</strong>-<strong>orbital</strong>: performing most of <strong>the</strong>ir flight in <strong>the</strong><br />
atmosphere, only temporarily entering outer space<br />
<strong>Sub</strong>-Orbital Aeroplanes (SoA) are under our scope and<br />
need to be certified for airworthiness as well as to be<br />
operated according to aviation rules<br />
