Interim Report - Introduction - EASA

INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE
EASA.2009.OP.21
4 Options for change
The sections below detail options for how many of these issues introduced above may be
addressed through regulatory and voluntary means in such a way as to also support the
primary aims of this Study:
− improving the availability of fluids at aerodromes within EASA member states, and
− improving the standards of de-icing / anti-icing service provision.
Where references are made below to existing or proposed Regulations, Directives, Rules,
AMC, Guidance material and Recommendations, Attachment B contains the relevant
extracts together with comments on the possible options. In particular, where references are
made to “proposed” EASA rules, such as Authority Requirements, Operator’s Requirements
and Implementing Rules for Operations, the versions used in this Report (and shown in
Attachment B) are taken from EASA NPAs 2008-22 and 2009-02. Whilst some of the
associated Comment-Response Documents have been recently published, the versions
used here remain the originals from the NPAs. This provides a consistent approach and
allows the Agency to consider the results of this Study alongside those of other respondents.
All options are given a coded, self-explanatory reference and number; a list of all options is
included at Appendix 1 to this paper.
