What is a NCC?

Non‐Commercial Operations with Complex Motor‐Powered Aircraft

Definition of Commercial OperationAccording to Basic Regulation (EC) 216/2008, a "commercial operation" shall mean:Any operation of an aircraft, in return for remuneration orother valuable consideration, which is available to the public or, when not made available to the public, which is performed under a contract between an operator and a customer, where the latter has no control over the operator;

Operator

workforce of more than 20 full time equivalents (FTEs) involved in the activity subject to Reg. (EC) No 216/2008 and its Implementing Rules

>20 FTE may also be considered complex based on an assessment of the following factor: in terms of complexity, the extent and scope of contracted

activities subject to the approval;• in terms of risk criteria, whether any of the following are present:

• operations requiring specific approvals(SPA.PBN;SPA.LVO;)• different types of aircraft used;• the environment (offshore, mountainous area, etc.).

Complex Operator (AMC1 ORO.GEN.200(b))

shall mean any legal or natural person, operating or proposing to operate one or more aircraft


What is a NCC?
