INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE – ATTACHMENT B<br />
<strong>EASA</strong>.2009.OP.21<br />
EC<br />
EU OPS<br />
Annex III to Reg<br />
3922/91<br />
airsight GmbH - 4 -<br />
Amended by EC Reg 859/2008<br />
Applicability: Direct EC law in Member States: ie it has to be adopted as National Law, and<br />
applicable to air operators. Effectively JAR OPS 1 Part 1. Some States have retained JAR<br />
OPS 1 Section 2 material as maintained in TGL 44.<br />
Options: As this is the current set of requirements for operators to comply with, any<br />
improvement to the rules contained within would seem the sensible approach; and certainly<br />
making recommendations to alter EU OPS is still a valid exercise. However, pending the<br />
approaching agreement and publication of <strong>EASA</strong> Implementing Rules for operators (Part<br />
Ops), the better option is to ensure that any recommendations to amend EU OPS are taken<br />
into account within Part Ops. Laid out below are options available for amending the text of<br />
EU OPS.<br />
Impact: Amending EU OPS would have little impact, but take considerable effort, which<br />
might be better directed at ensuring Part Ops contains any recommendations to improve the<br />
regulatory situation vis-à-vis the de-icing / anti-icing of aircraft on the ground.<br />
Article 7<br />
Member States shall recognise the certification granted pursuant to this Regulation by<br />
another Member State or by a body acting on its behalf, to bodies or persons placed under<br />
its jurisdiction and under its authority, who are concerned with the maintenance of products<br />
and the operation of aircraft.<br />
This allows for the transfer of any license, certificate or approval of any service provider from<br />
one Member State to any other; promoting a level field for commercial competition.<br />
No options or need to amend this Article.<br />
If licensing, certification, and /or approvals of service providers are recommended, the<br />
impacts would need to be considered. For example, whether the issuance of an approval<br />
was dependent on location specific criteria such as facilities; such as is usual with audits and
