18. European Aviation Safety Agency Ramp inspections Generalisation of SAFA inspections All aircraft All aspects (CC) Spot checks Prioritised inspections List of operators to monitor Annual quota Findings to relevant authority (EASA if third country operator)

19. European Aviation Safety Agency Safety programme: The ICAO requirements States shall establish a State safety programme, in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety. Acceptable level of safety to be achieved shall be established by the State. States shall require, as part of their State safety programme, that an [organisation] implement a safety management system acceptable to the State of the Operator […].

20. European Aviation Safety Agency Because of the sharing of competences between EU and MS, MS cannot establish a SSP Collaboration between European Commission, EASA and Member States is needed Elements for a EASP are being drafted by an informal group, to be presented to all Member States Objective is to have a manual along the lines of the ICAO SSP framework European Aviation Safety Programme (EASP)

21. European Aviation Safety Agency 3. Authority requirements OPS – AR.OPS

22. European Aviation Safety Agency AR.OPS Content Subpart AR.OPS Specific requirements for operations – operator certification and declaration Recognition of industry standards for oversight purposes Approval of individual flight time limitation schemes Specific approvals (OPS.SPA)

23. European Aviation Safety Agency AOC The Competent authority shall issue an AOC when it is satisfied that the operator is in compliance with Part OPS and Part OR. The certificate shall include the associated operations specifications and general conditions.

24.

The competent authority shall prescribe the conditions under which an operator may operate during such changes.

30. European Aviation Safety Agency 4. Authority requirements Cabin crew – AR.CC

31. European Aviation Safety Agency Cabin Crew Part AR Subpart CC Section I Organisations providing cabin crew training  Approval of organisations providing cabin crew training Section II Cabin crew attestations  Procedures for the issue of a cabin crew attestation  Format and specifications for cabin crew attestations  Limitation, suspension or revocation of cabin crew attestations

32. European Aviation Safety Agency Cabin crew competence related elements still subject to national provisions BR does not require common criteria to be specified for the approval of organisations providing cabin crew training NPA proposal: approval based on national requirements/procedures BR does not require common criteria to be specified for the qualifications of instructors and examiners Area remaining subject to national provisions

33. European Aviation Safety Agency Cabin crew competence related elements still subject to national provisions BR does not require the issuance of medical certificates NPA proposal: since medical assessment of unfitness may lead to limitation, suspension or revocation of the cabin crew attestation by the competent authority, information shall be provided by the AME to the said competent authority  but only in case of ‘suspected unfitness’ or ‘unfit assessment’, and  according to procedures to be established by the competent authority

34. European Aviation Safety Agency Conclusions Authority requirements provide grounds to work in a way which: ensures better consistency between approvals of activities enhances collaboration between EASA MS provides oversight efficiency identifies risks with a view to enhancing oversight

35. European Aviation Safety Agency Conclusions Safety management is a new challenge for competent authorities An integrated system needs to be established: At community level: EASP At MS level: SSP Authority Requirements provide the legal grounds for this system
