INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE – ATTACHMENT B EASA.2009.OP.21 specified in this Regulation. The Agency should, for the same reason, be allowed to take the necessary measures related to the fields covered by this Regulation when this is the best means to ensure uniformity and facilitate the functioning of the internal market. In principle this indicates that either EASA or NAAs could establish a licensing/certification scheme for service providers, providing a link can be made between de-icing / anti-icing operations with this Regulation. Preliminaries: (17) With regard to the regulation of professions which are not covered by this Regulation, the competence of Member States should be retained to establish or maintain at their own discretion, inter alia, certification or licensing requirements of the personnel. Where a link between de-icing / anti-icing operations and this regulation cannot be made, or EASA does not wish to establish a licensing/certification scheme for service providers, then the option remains with individual Member States. Amendments to Articles of 216/2008: ‘Article 1 Scope 1. This Regulation shall apply to: (c) the design, maintenance and operation of aerodromes, as well as personnel and organisations involved therein and, without prejudice to Community and national legislation on environment and land-use planning, the safeguarding of surroundings of aerodromes; (d) the design, production and maintenance of aerodrome equipment, as well as personnel and organisations involved therein; Article 3 (n) “aerodrome equipment” shall mean any equipment, apparatus, appurtenance, software or accessory, that is used or intended to be used to contribute to the operation of aircraft at an aerodrome; ‘ Article 8a Aerodromes 1. Aerodromes and aerodrome equipment as well as the operation of aerodromes shall comply with the essential requirements set out in Annex Va and, if applicable, Annex Vb. The scope shown here could be interpreted as pertaining to personnel and organisations “involved” in the operation of the aerodrome, and the maintenance of aerodrome equipment. airsight GmbH - 70 -
INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE – ATTACHMENT B EASA.2009.OP.21 De-icing / anti-icing equipment and fluid storage facilities do contribute to the operation of aircraft at an aerodrome, and therefore can fall within the scope of this regulation – if so desired. B — Operations and management (a) the aerodrome operator shall have, directly or under contracts, all the means necessary to ensure safe operation of aircraft at the aerodrome. These means shall include, but are not limited to, facilities, personnel, equipment and material, documentation of tasks, responsibilities and procedures, access to relevant data and record-keeping; This connects the aerodrome to service providers, by giving it some responsibility in how they conduct their operations, even if under contract to an operator. This Requirement was highlighted in EASA CRD A-NPA-2007-11 as a mechanism for indirect regulation of service providers. (e) the aerodrome operator shall ensure that procedures to mitigate risks related to aerodrome operations in winter operation, adverse weather conditions, reduced visibility or at night, if applicable, are established and implemented; (f) the aerodrome operator shall establish arrangements with other relevant organisations to ensure continuing compliance with these essential requirements for aerodromes. These organisations include, but are not limited to, aircraft operators, air navigation service providers, ground handling service providers and other organisations whose activities or products may have an effect on aircraft safety; This can be interpreted as including de-icing / anti-icing operations and service providers; thereby giving the aerodrome responsibilities in this respect. Para (f) was also highlighted in EASA CRD A-NPA-2007-11 as a mechanism for indirect regulation of service providers. It may be possible to use the requirements B(a, e, f) above to impose some responsibilities onto aerodromes the de-icing / anti-icing services. Such responsibilities may include facilitation of safety data collection and analysis, scrutiny of procedures, training and equipment, inspections and audits etc. Any such proposals would work best if coordinated with the relevant operators. The impact might include improved communications and coordination amongst aerodrome, ATC, operator, and service provider. Also the aerodrome may be persuaded to invest into facilities and equipment to ensure improved levels of safety. airsight GmbH - 71 -
