EASA’s MDM.032 WG Regulation of aircraft other than complex motor powered aircraft when used in non-commercial activities UK CAA Presentation 18/19 May 2006 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

Options for Aviation Safety Regulation ….. We ask six questions: What (if any) should be the rules? Who (if anyone) should be the regulator? How (if at all) should regulated activities be overseen? How (if at all) should the rules be enforced? What should be the obligations of participants? What will be the appropriate regulatory regime? 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

Regulatory Devolution – Certification & Continued Airworthiness Popular Flying Association (PFA): recommends issue/renewal of CAA Permit to Fly British Balloon & Airship Club (BBAC): recommends issue/renewal of CAA CofA British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA): recommends issue/renewal of CAA Permit to Fly British Gliding Association (BGA): recommends renewal of CAA CofA for Tugs 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

Regulatory Devolution – Operations UK does not regulate non-commercial operations except: Defining what equipment should be carried for specific operations (e.g. night, controlled airspace, over water etc) Flying Displays We regulate other types of operation, such as flying training, parachuting 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

Regulatory Devolution – Licensing British Gliding Association (BGA) arrangements: flying training/tests in self-launching motor gliders National Pilot Licensing Group (NPLG): recommends issue of National Private Pilot’s Licence (NPPL) British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA): recommends issue of National Private Pilot’s Licence (NPPL-M) 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

Which means that… In the UK, industry organisations act as Qualified Entities In the UK, standards developed with industry are used 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

UK CAA View – Certification & Continued Airworthiness Minimum proportionate regulation (We do not regulate non-commercial gliding at all) Opportunity for different treatment of professional and amateur built aircraft Avoidance of increased regulation, e.g. Balloons: British Balloon & Airship Club (BBAC) is UK CAA approved Pre-EASA, found compliance with Certification Specifications for new products and modifications (pre-Part 21) Pre-EASA recommended issue of Balloon Cs of A (pre-Part 21) Continues to authorise own inspectorate Continues to certify inspections Pre-EASA status worked well for UK 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

UK CAA View – Operations Increased devolution to: Qualified Entities, and Assessment Bodies Determination of aircraft equipment for use in different operational environments Regulatory Review of General Aviation 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

UK CAA View – Licensing New EASA PPL (sub-ICAO, sub-JAR-FCL) Medical Self-Certification Single Engine Piston only 2,000kg Initially - assessed by Qualified Entities, issued by NAA When established - issued by Assessment Bodies 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

Appointing a qualified entity or assessment body Our points for consideration (in addition to competency): should such bodies be subject to Freedom of Information? should such bodies be required to meet public standards of record keeping, confidentiality and data protection? how will appeals from decisions of such bodies be dealt with should their charges be regulated? will the NAA be expected to act as regulator of last resort if one of these bodies cannot continue to operate? how will the rules will be enforced? 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

MDM.032 - Two Table Process Good methodology – UK procedures “map” well 2,000kg proposed by DGAC-F is sensible Need to identify statutory liability & limit of responsibility Suggestions: 3rd Column – “Responsibility for Oversight” Split “Standards” from “Rules” 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk

In Summary Hope that MDM.032 finds UK philosophy of interest Our experience: Involvement of industry bodies works well Use of standards developed with industry works well 08 April 2019 www.caa.co.uk
