GA Roadmap Project Dominique ROLAND 6th May2017 Head of General Aviation & Remotely Piloted Aircraft Sys. (RPAS) & GA Roadmap Champion 6th May2017

Motivation and problem Avert a dramatic loss of activity as a result of complex and disproportionate rules Necessary to adopt a specific new approach for GA in order to assure a sustainable development of the sector in Europe A GA analysis by members from the MB and GA community lead to the Agency/Commission paper ‘Road map for the regulation of General Aviation’ that was adoption by the MB in December 2012. The EASA committee agreed on the risk hierarchy that are now a cornerstone for the GA Roadmap rulemaking activities. 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

The cornerstones of the GA Roadmap Founded on: Agreed risk hierarchy Agreed strategic principles Cooperation of all stakeholders Commitment at all levels This foundation gives us a higher chance for success!! 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

Active application of risk hierarchy More protection Better, more effective rules Active application of risk hierarchy – will be further explained in one of the next slides Safety requirements proportional to risk exposure More freedom 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

Specific risk categories are associated with specific GA activities. Risk Based Approach transport business training sport More Protection More Freedom Same safety level: Not feasible Not what public expects Against ICAO endorsed philosophy But: ICAO Annex 6 Part II Operation of Aircraft (International General aviation), from which the following extracts are quoted: “Level of safety. The Annex should ensure an acceptable level of safety to passengers and third parties (third parties meaning persons on the ground and persons in the air in other aircraft). Also, as some international general aviation operations (typically under 5.700 kg).......it was therefore, accepted that the passenger in international general aviation aircraft would not necessarily enjoy the same level of safety as the fare-paying passenger in commercial air transport”. “The Commission endorsed the philosophy....for the safety of operations in non-commercial operations where travel is not open to the general public. In such operations the Standards and Recommended Practices need not be as prescriptive as those in Annex 6, Part I, due to the inherent self-responsibility of the owner and pilot-in command. The State does not have an equivalent “duty of care” to protect the occupants as it does for fare paying customers in commercial operations” Specific risk categories are associated with specific GA activities. 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

Strategic direction - six principles P1: One size does not fit all (reduce cliff-effect) P2: Philosophy of minimum necessary rules P3: Adopt a risk-based approach (risk-hierarchy) P4: Protect “grandfather rights” P5: Apply EU “Smart Regulation Principles” P6: Make best use of available resources/expertise P1: … GA should be handled quite separately from CAT and merits a different, proportionate approach based on an acceptable risk hierarchy. P2: … focusing on the main risks. P3: … to targeted safety initiatives and rulemaking based on risk assessment, and supported by empirical evidence in the form of good quality accident rate and causal data from which statistically significant trends are identified. P4:… unless there are demonstrable and statistically significant safety reasons for not doing so. P6:... and devolve responsibilities and delegate tasks to the level where they can be exercised most efficiently, including to GA organisations. 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

Cooperation of stakeholders EC initiated the project. EC has to be involved to modify regulations. EASA has the operational leadership. Mixed RAG / SSCC GA sub-Committee. GA community representatives include IAOPA, EAS, GAMA, ECOGAS, etc. Success when all partners work together GA users/industry Member States 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

Commitment at all levels Steering committee Task Force EASA project team & GA Focal Points NAA/EC group Stakeholders group Steering committee: Executive director and other directors and GA Champion Task Force: Chairs of the NAA group (13 members and EC rep.), GA Sub-SSCC, EASA project managers, GA Champion 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna Simpler, lighter and better rules to stimulate GA Regulate only when needed and use other means when possible Hand responsibilities back to people/organisations that are able to take that responsibility Avoid automatic use of “CAT logic” to GA 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna

Simpler, lighter, better rules for GA Changes to the Basic Regulation: 2018: On-going Part M Light: Opinion published in May 2016 Facilitate access to IFR (holistic approach across domains): NPA published in November 2016 Aircraft changes and repairs made easy (CS-STAN): Amendment 2 published in April 2017 More options for pilot training outside ATO (DTO): NPA published in December 2016 Air Operations and licence Balloon Rule Book: Opinion published in January 2016 Air Operations and licence Gliders Rule Book: Rulemaking task on-going LAPL Medical Certificate: Done (Needs Safety Promotion) Modular LAPL: On going Simpler Certification (Part 21 proportionality – manufacturer approval): AMC planned Summer 2017 Reorganisation of CS-23 using Industry standards: April 2017 We are delivering in accordance with our commitments 27 April 2017 GA Roadmap Project overview - IAOPA Regional Meeting Vienna
