MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE IRISH AVIATION AUTHORITY (IRELAND) IAA AND CIVIL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (LITHUANIA) CAA ON IMPLEMENTATION OF art. 83bis OF CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION (ICAO) FOR THE TRANSFER OF SURVEILLANCE RESPONSIBILITIES (OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE AND CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS) OF AIRCRAFT OPERATED UNDER DRY LEASING CONTRACT

the AOC under which the leased aircraft is operated,

commercial air transport( ion): it is relevant to those aircraft operations involving the transport of passengers, cargo or mail for remuneration or hire performed by licensed air carrier as defined in Regulation (EC) No I 008/2008, on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community as revised, of the European Parliament and council, EASA Member State: any European Union Member State and any other State adhering to EASA system as recognized by EASA

ICAO Contracting States undertake to regulate aviation in their State. The state of registry of the aircraft sets criteria to ensure compliance with design standard, continued airworthiness, crew licensing and other matters. Contracting States license and supervise the certified operators to ensure a level of safety is achieved. When the state of registry passes control of an aircraft to another State under article 83bis of ICAO Convention, ICAO Annex 6 allows a working arrangement to be in place whereby the state of operator accepts the ICAO Annex 6 responsibilities for a set period. It is usual for the Authority of the State of operator to place certain criteria on the dry lease operator to ensure the aircraft in question complies with the requirement of the State of operator. These may include compliance with the State of operator design and maintenance requirement and current airworthiness data. Either a Lithuanian or Irish operator can operate an Irish or Lithuanian registered aircraft respectively to be used in commercial operation under a leasing contract. In accordance with ICAO Annex 8 and National regulations, the State of registration Authority retains legal responsibility for maintaining the validity of the Certificate of Airworthiness of the aircraft.

I. In pursuance of the Chicago Convention and article 4 and 5 of Statutory Instrument S.L 322 of 1989 Ireland shall be relieved of responsibility in respect of the functions and duties transferred to Lithuania upon due publicity or notification of this agreement as determined in paragraph (b) of Article 83bis.

2. In pursuance through law no IX-1681 dated 03rd July 2003 published in the "Valstybes Zinios" 91(1) -4103 dated 26th September 2003, Lithuania Civil Aviation Administration shall be relieved of responsibility in respect of the functions and duties transferred to IRELAND upon due publicity or notification of this agreement as determined in paragraph (b) of Article 83bis.

III- SCOPE OF APPLICATION

The scope of this agreement shall be limited to aircraft on the register of civil aircraft of Ireland or Lithuania and operated in commercial air transportation under leasing agreement by a Lithuanian or Irish AOC operators.

IV- TRANSFERRED RFSPONSIBILITIES

Under this agreement, the parties agree that the lessor Authority transfers to the lessee Authority the following responsibilities, including oversight and control of relevant items contained in the respective Annexes to the Convention:
