AR.GEN.040 <strong>Report</strong>ing<br />

(a) In addition to the reports required by the applicable legislation on occurrence reporting in<br />

civil aviation, the competent authority shall provide reports on safety significant occurrences<br />

to the Agency.<br />

These three requirements adequately highlight:<br />

− the need for NAAs to cooperate with each other by exchanging information on de-icing<br />

/ anti-icing issues if it is deemed safety improvements can be made<br />

− the need for NAAs to issue mandatory safety information, including actions to be<br />

taken, when a safety matter is identified, and<br />

− the need for NAAs to collect data other than through MORs.<br />

The most effective and efficient way to achieve this is for the Agency to coordinate and<br />

facilitate a safety initiative aimed at de-icing / anti-icing.<br />

The impact would be a harmonised programme which ensures more data is collected and<br />

analysed and any recommendations for action likely to be taken up.<br />

AR.GEN.305 Monitoring of activities<br />

(a) The competent authority shall establish and maintain an oversight programme to monitor<br />

persons and organisations exercising activities on the territory of the Member State or<br />

certified by the competent authority that is proportionate to the complexity of the activities<br />

and the risks involved. The programme shall be developed taking into account the size of the<br />

organisation, local knowledge, possible certification according to industry standards and past<br />

surveillance activities.<br />

(b) The oversight programme shall include:<br />

(1) sample inspections, including unannounced inspections;<br />

(2) for each organisation, at least once every 24 months:<br />

(i) regular audits at intervals determined by the results of past surveillance<br />

activities;<br />
