1 Review of agenda/ Adoption of meeting minutes of combined GA Road map NAA Group & GA Sub-SSCC 1-2015 (WP00)

The Chair (Dominique Roland) welcomed all attendees. Round table presentation of all representatives. The agenda was adopted without any changes. Minutes of combined GA Road map NAA Group 4-2014 & GA Sub-SSCC 5-2014 Meeting were accepted. The actions list was reviewed after the meeting in the former two separate meetings. Initial status can be seen below.

2 GA Task Force communication (WP01) By D Roland

WP01 power point presentation. Dominique Roland reported on the outcome of the GA Task Force meeting 01-2005. The last GA Task Force Meeting (01-2015) took place in Cologne 4th of February 2015. The following topics were discussed: AERO 2015 Quick reference guide Balanced approach GA data collection & safety management Advanced NPA on BR High level milestone time

Status update on key packages • IFR Flying/Pilot training outside ATO (WP-05) • Part M light/CS STAN (WP-06) • Simpler Certification • Acceptance of foreign STCs – a milestone in the cooperation but still some work to do because it still not

works both ways. There is a need to put pressure on EASA and FAA before October. We should press for it because of Safety, but there are some financial and commercial difficulties.

• Approach for balloon sector – an interesting pilot project where all previous separate rules (ops, trg. etc) are treated within one issue “Balloon”! It has been controversial to EASA, a dogma to break! Could maybe

extended to the whole of the lighter end of the aviation. On-going rulemaking tasks impacting GA. Collaborative platform. Most if not all these topics will be discussed during this combined GA roadmap NAA & Sub-SSCC meeting and were progressed since the Task Force meeting. The main actions recorded or modified further to this task force meeting were progressed and will be subject to a dedicated presentation during the meeting.

Update on implementation status of the GA Roadmap project (Part 1):

High level timetable A TZIOLAS WP02 - LIGHTER, SIMPLER AND BETTER RULES FOR GA: KEY ACTIVITIES AND MILESTONES. The timetable with key activities and milestones was briefed, and comments were given. The intension is to begin with the BR and then with the other issues raised in the Opinion. Main discussion points were:

It is important that the group works for the different issues.

Papers are produced in English, French and German.

Advocating for the EASA web site – EASA and you / aviation / general aviation. Basic Regulation change D ROLAND/A TZIOLAS WP 03 Basic Regulation new. The EASA Opinion Context and Process was briefed in accordance to the PPT presentation. The way forward is:

Enable GA road map implementation Create a more proportionate and flexible approach to safety regulations Some concrete proposals :

Simplification of the airworthiness requirements and oversight system for small, low-risk GA aircraft Delegation of oversight and certification responsibilities to approved third parties Adjustment of certain definitions, such as “commercial operation” and “complex motor-powered aircraft”

Annex II: No substantial changes but some adjustments Changes in format to allow a simpler process for amendments

Performance based regulation Revision to the fees and charges regulation

Main discussion point were:

Gliders and the possibility for the industry / stakeholders to make contributions. Should be a contributing part in the process.

General requirement from stakeholders to be part in the process before the issuing of an opinion. EASA asked for direct contacts if needed.

How can concrete proposals to the opinion be inserted? Eg. Complex aircraft definition. Philip Cornelies is POC in the Commission for proposals to the BR.

Annex II AC should be treated as EU aircraft. A proposal for substantial changes was made by AUSTRO Control Andrea Winkler to integrate Annex II aircraft into EASA regulation. If done properly it could make sense. See AOB Part 1.

GA Data collection and Safety Management Y YNGVASON WP 04 GA safety strategy and Regulation 376 update. Background:

Initial draft of a strategy paper for Safety Analysis introduced last year Many ideas discussed and a new paper introduced that links to the newly developed EASA processes on

Safety Risk Management Will lead to the development of risk portfolio Closely linked to the implementation of Regulation (EU) 376/2014

Simplification of Reporting Just Culture

Key principles: Goal of analysis

identify safety issues to support decision making and decide on safety improvement actions Analysis carried out at various levels

Occurrences / Hazards and Outcomes Into specific domains for GA (e.g. Balloons/ Gliders etc)

For GA - linked specifically to GA Roadmap Analysis will identify and manage clear follow up actions Coordinates internal and external analysis resources working with EASA MS through NoA and the community Develops clear and simple outputs

Safety analysis activities: Recurrent Analysis to Identify Immediate Issues

Weekly Review (SM1) of new occurrences and investigations Monthly Review (Agency) to consider trends and prepare for key meetings such as ESC or Safety Risks

Panel Annual Review to clearly link the data to the EASp

General Aviation Survey and gathering of exposure data will support analysis Initial analysis to determine sector priorities Plan for the 1st Sector analysis (Balloons) to be completed for Aero 2015 with clear output of key risks

in a specific domain Long term – analysis of all remaining domains over time Key task - to identify the right outputs for the GA Community

Other data collecting activities: Contextual Data

Good decision making relies on better collection of contextual data that isn’t currently available Augmented by Bad Honnef Uni analysis of last AOPA survey AOPA developed next survey to be used by European Commission Study on GA community

EC study Contractor selected (Integra/COWI) Project has been launched and data collection started Contractor will not contact aicraft owners

only NAAs and Associations Final report plus database expected in Sep 2015 Long term work needed with EC to structure the data collection

Occurrence reporting: Implementation of Regulation (EU) 376/2014 Will standardise and simplify reporting across Europe Lead to a single reporting portal with simple GA Occurrence Report Reports would go from portal to relevant National Authority Potential development of Apps to make the process of reporting even simpler Development of Just Culture Principles will also consider what happens when GA pilots report to NAAs

directly Main discussion points were:

Why is EASA not doing the way it is done in FAA? The contractor has not been completely loyal to the task.

Disappointment with the progress and doubts that it is worth the money.

EASA defending the system but also aware of the problems. Be positive!

Proposal to have SSCC to take the role as safety analysis group.

The issue will be on the agenda for the next meeting, where the outstanding questions may be answered. EASA Action.

Update on implementation status of the GA Roadmap project (Part 2):

Simpler Certification B DEUSS WP 05 Progress Initial Airworthiness. Content of the presentation by Stefan Ronig: • New Approach Initial Airworthiness • Update Short Term Actions • Long Term Actions – Qualified Entities/User Organisations • Long Term Actions – Combined Approval • Part 23 Re-organisation Short term actions – Initial Airworthiness: • Sucessful Industry Workshop 24/25th February in Prague • Good progress on development of templates and guidance, e.g. Flight Test Plan, Avionic Description,

Composite Cert. Memo. • Publication of A-NPA 2015-06 Reorganisation of CS-23 • CS-STAN progressing well Long tern actions – Initial Airworthiness: Develop simplified entry levels for Design and Production Compliance against appropriate Industry Standards (e.g. ASTM, EN 9100) (EASA wants to use the industry standards), oversight either through organisational approval or through accredited bodies • Provisions introduced in EASA Opinion on BR A-NPA • Development of oversight standard with Industry and FAA participation ongoing • BR and Part 21 changes to be drafted Practical combination of organisational approvals for Design and Production; Approved organisations declare compliance with simple airworthiness codes (Industry Standards). • Oversight performed by NAA staff for DOA&POA • Part21 regulations and interpretations need to be adapted to small organisation – this means that AMC and

IR / GM should be rewritten to cover the SME aspect. • Optional template for organisations manual simplifies the approval process. • DOA privileges approved by the agency according certification activity • Internal in EASA are they looking to see how they can attract SME within DOAs by lower fee or alike. Time scale long term actions: • Develop concept of combined approvals • Develop Oversight Standard with Industry and FAA participation. Meeting in April at AERO. Industry

Standard Q1/2016 • Develop BR changes Summer 2015 • Identify Areas in Part 21 to be changed to simplify processes within existing system (e.g. alternative AMC)

with a NPA 2016 Some interim debate about:

The intention to make it easier in the future.

To use NAAs or accredited bodies.

Question if the proposals also covers engines and propellers was not fully answered, but EASA will investigate.

All issues will be based on contracts.

Some concern about the costs and the control of it and different costs pending country.

The idea is to simplify the process. Reorganisation of CS 23 – Boudewijn Deuss: A-NPA 2015-06 (27-03-2015) Reorganisation of Part 23 and CS-23 • Explains why we need to change

• Explains the proposed new global concept for certification specification for GA. • Provides the latest set of new draft objective rules. • Invites stakeholders to provide feedback and comments. Explanation of the slide 9 reorganisation of CS-23. It is a new approach with the objective rules (new book 1) etc. The rules should stay valid for the next 10 years. Challenges!!!

Get used to the “new” roles

Authority responsible for safety objectives in the rules - The new CS-23 Book 1 is not a design standard!!

Consensus standard developers are responsible for Airworthiness Design Standards (ADS) that meet the safety objectives

The new ADS is not a rule!! Main discussion points:

The NPA is expected by end 2015. Aiming for a global system.

GAMA and EASA are in good harmony.

EASA is leading worldwide.

EASA has all tools necessary to accept and change standards within a short timeline of 6-9 months. IFR Flying M BORGMEIER (Aircrew and medical department). High lights from the presentation:

Facilitate access to IRF flying.

Intension is to increase the amount of pilots flying IFR.

It is left to GA Sub-SSCC Task Force to implement the principles of the GA roadmap.

Task force to make concept by end 2015. 10/2015 NPA 03/2015. Main discussion points:

There are no formalised ideas.

IAOPA had some proposals about making IFR flight easier.

Most airports without IFR equipment can be used for IFR traffic as long the AC is cleared below the clouds by the ATM system.

Next meeting of the task force is 12-13 May.

Proposals can be send to the TF (CAA SE). Private pilot training outside ATO M BORGMEIER High lights from the presentation:

Develop a new route for training outside an ATO to allow for more proportionate training towards non-commercial license.

A new task force to see at the task.

NPA Q4/2015, opinion 2016. Discussion points:

Keep what we have as RTO / ATO.

Stress on the required change from RTO to ATO costed lots of ressources.

What skills do we want for the student and for the instructor?

Asking for an open mind and proportionate approach to training.

Pros and cons mentioned and this will be included in the TF work. BALLOON REQUIREMENTS – new agenda item. Medical requirements are revised. Task force or expert group to be established.

Control See presentation with ideas and views. Main discussion points:

Many good issues.

Could also be replicated to aerodromes.

NAAs want more flexible rules for Annex II and EASA.

Created some discussion and recommendations as well as appreciation for the many good thoughts.

There are 32 different Annex II systems. There should be coordination and exchange of information between nations.

Is there a need for the NAA group to meet to discuss Annex II AC? It looks like from the NAA answers.

EASA will initiate a NAA meeting. Extension of the OPS-NCC enter into force date M ERB WP 11 OPS NCC. The Historic Background:

NPA 2009-02g stated why something had to be done:

According to COM (2007) 869, analysis of traffic trends, aircraft shipments and orders suggests that demand for highly flexible, private and business air transportation will continue to grow strongly in the years to come.

However, today the industry does not show the predicted growth, the mass-invasion of VLJs has been called off.

The state of discussion on OPS-NCC. Open questions: The definition of Complex Aircraft in the BR, what changes are foreseeable and when?

We see the risk that the NCC-system will be enforced for the majority of operators that will become unnecessary just some months after implementation

The requirements of OPS-NCC, are the management systems adequate for “minor operators“? Can we fix the open issues in time?

Wouldn´t the industry, NAAs and EASA benefit from a prolonged Opt-Out until 8/2017, which would take out a lot of time pressure?

The definition of Complex Operator

ORO.GEN.200(b) complex/non-complex operator - 20 FTE is OK - - Criteria PBN, LVP, ETOPS, NVIS, DG, different A/C, mount.area are not OK;

Content and extend SMS + SMM need to be revisited

Keep it simple? Publication/Communication SMS Example for provisions to be questioned: NCC.GEN.145 Preservation, production and use of flight recorder recordings Recommendations • Extend the implementation of NCC by a minimum of one year • Adapt the definition of complex A/C • Fix open issues • Revisit the impact assessment • Assist NCC-operators and authorities with more guidance…and keep it simple! e.g. GM for self-assessment for ORO.GEN.200 to keep as many non-complex operators as possible • Install NCC-implementation-TF with EASA, SSCC-GA, TAG • Prepare free-of charge workshops for NCC Main discussion points: SE voiced support for many of the ideas. There are some conflicts with ICAO. Technical risk versus organisation risk.

Update on implementation status of the GA Roadmap project (Part 3): Update on Air OPS balloons annex Marko TAEHTIVAARA WP 06 OPS balloons timing and process. Revision of European operational rules for balloons New regulation for Balloons Status:

Expert Group for RMT.0674 established. No formal NPA or CRD. Members from ballooning organisation, NAAs, manufacturers First Meeting in March 2015

General discussion on way forward Which rules are needed? Discussion of new structure of rules Review of present rules

Draft ToR under review Main discussion points: A completely change of structure. Could it be the same for sailplanes, Light AC, ULT etc? Some CAA concern about the fast track challenge to them. Pilot determination of oxygen need M TAEHTIVAARA WP 07 Pilot Oxygen need and Definition of Passenger. The issues stems from earlier meetings and the GA road plan. Pilot determination of Oxygen Need – over FL 130 or more than 30 minutes in FL 100. Pilot Determination of oxygen need (24 Feb and 31 Mar meetings):

• EASA/EC to process IR change • implementation of ICAO Annex 6 Ch. 2; GA oxygen SARPs • Proposal was send to EC 1 April

• This will be presented to EASA committee on 22 April • If agreed heading towards to the AMC/GM and Safety Promotion • Oxygen working group is lead by J-P Delmas

• Main task will be development of the AMC/GM Material, checklists etc. for the end users • This material may be used for the EGAST publication purposes or additional AMC/GM • Result from this WG could be e.g. guidance how to use finger mounted oximeter in flight (safety

risk mitigation) • First draft AMC/GM 14 April, final versions 29 May

Main discussion points: Consider modern technology with systems in GA AC to decide descend and manoeuvre around obstacles. Definition of passenger Marko TAEHTIVAARA WP 07 Pilot Oxygen need and Definition of Passenger. Definition of passenger • Interpretation of “passenger” varies between member states • Definition of passenger varies in particular in the UK while it already has a broad meaning in SERA and Air

OPS • EAS question: E.g. if a pilot like to regain currency after a 90 day can he fly accompanied by another pilot as a

passenger or crew member • Definition “Crew Member” to be discussed/checked with EASA FCL colleagues and then proceeded with

RMT.0516 Main discussion points: Use the flexibility that the UK approach gives.

Quick Reference Guide Marko TAEHTIVAARA WP 08 Quick Reference guide. How to reach the GA community with proper information? Stakeholders: make it an information platform

What platform is best suited for the job? SKYbrary/Wiki – pros and cons. There’s also still the option of a dedicated app – pros and cons. Questions: • Do we want the user to get to the bottom of the information - in other words: how deep does the info need

to go? • If the info goes ‘all the way’: who will keep it current and correct? How to go about the national differences? • If not ‘all the way’: what’s going to be the practical use for the GA community - who will be interested? Main discussions points: Simplify regulations. Wiki system seems to be the tool that is best for the GA community. Various critical comments which EASA responded to with some “firmness”. But some frustration about what we really want and that we not have moved forward in the matter. How can we address the GA community so they understand it? The Quick Response Guide will be continued despite all negative comments and the talk will continue in the GA Task Force. Language Proficiency V FOLTIN WP 09 GA language proficiency. Information about the various requirements in accordance with the issued working papers. Conclusions: • Not all pilots are required to demonstrate the ability to speak and understand the language used for

radiotelephony communications (e.g. sailplane, balloon, microlights, paragliders, RPAS…) • All Air Traffic Controllers are required to demonstrate the ability to speak and understand the language used

for radiotelephony communications both in English and local language(s) if imposed • There are no specific EU requirements for Flight Information Officers to be able to demonstrate the ability to

speak and understand the language used for radiotelephony communications (sometimes only in local language

• Local languages are often imposed in Europe for both ATC and (A)FIS • Radio communication is not required for VFR flights in classes E, F, G unless designated as Radio Mandatory

Zone • All controlled airspace and RMZs shall be duly promulgated in AIP Possible ways forward: Proposal 1 To exclude the LAPL holders from the language proficiency requirement Rationales: • LAPL are not within the scope of ICAO • LAPL can be used in all Europe • LAPL are for non-commercial activities • LAPL Are limited to SEP aircraft up to 2000 kg Proposal 2 Not to require demonstration of language proficiency for all VFR pilots in airspace where such communication is not required (classes E, F and G). Inclusion of Radio Mandatory Zone to be decided subject to safety assessment. Rationales: • Consistent requirement to all VFR pilots in the same airspace • Facilitation of cross border flights in E, F and G airspaces • Consistent requirement in whole Europe – legal certainty • Removes the burden to obtain English or a local language endorsement for some international flights • At least a local language requirement would still need to be included in the licence (ability to use radio

communication and phraseology) Proposal 3 Use both proposals in parallel Rationales:

AOB – Part 2

Principles & details for Aviation SME’s revitalisation presented by ECOGAS D BANJA WP 12 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Aviation / WP 13 ECOGAS Principles details for Aviation SME's revitalisation. The presentation was given. I mentioned that the aim of the presentation was to introduce what ECOGAS is and what we had defined as main areas of concern and problems, which we suggest quick fixes for. I concluded by saying, that basically the concern and problems come from lack of proper definitions (commercial / non-commercial and GA) and hoping that the present EASA initiatives will take care of some of these problems. Main discussion points: What is Mass Transport? Do we envision Commercial operations as scheduled and non-scheduled operations? We should. What about division between public and individual transport? Look at the definitions from a passenger perspective. France proposal for continuation of an instrument rating DGAC FRANCE WP 14 DGAC, GA NAA-National-IR_V0. Summary of presentation in accordance with the issued working papers: • I) Presentation of national instrument rating F/N-IR(A) and similarities with CB IR(A) Part FCL

o Background o Continuation under article 4.8 of regulation (EU) n°1178/2011 and conversion into CB IR(A) Part

FCL o Statistics

• II) Rationale for continuation of F/N-IR(A) • III) Proposal for continuation

o Option 1 o Option 2

Context: IR(A) requirements uselessly restrictive and demanding for private pilots flying on non HPA and non complex aeroplanes Decision to anticipate FCL.008 (CB IR(A)) by implementing in June 2011 a national instrument rating F/N-IR(A) Objective: realistic access to an instrument rating for private pilots by adjusting theoretical training and examination and practical training arrangements to the privileges granted National regulation and alignment with CB IR(A): National order of June 24th 2011 published on the 6th of July 2011 (and modified by the order of 4th of July 2012 and by the order of 26th May 2014) • Content defined to be coherent as far as possible with the CB IR(A) proposal that was being elaborated at

that time by the RMT FCL.008 • Amendment published on the 22sd of January aiming at a full alignment with CB IR(A) requirements

(regulation (EU) n°245/2014) with the exception of the use of English (FCL.055 d)) Conclusion: The unique difference between a national instrument rating F/N-IR(A) and a CB IR(A) is the non compliance with FCL.055 d) (demonstration of the use of English) • Rationale for F/N-IR(A) continuation: By exempting from FCL.055 d) France aims at facilitating the access to instrument rating for French Part FCL licence holders performing IFR flights above national territory. For those pilots FCL.055 d) requirement, mandatory for issuance of an IR(A) CB, is useless. Those pilots can safely perform IFR flights above French territory by using only French for radiotelephony communications Discussion points: Not known.

RMT0573 Fuel procedures and planning J SCARFE WP 15 Fuel planning and procedures.
