1. Technical & General Meeting Luxembourg, 21-22 March 2015 Julian Scarfe The GA European Safety Strategy GA Task Force, GA sub-SSCC Update on Projects 1

2. European GA Safety Strategy (as presented last year) 2 Endorsed by the EASA Management Board in September 2012 European Commission and EASA created Roadmap for Regulation of General Aviation as a response, based on Safety Strategy Roadmap for Regulation of General Aviation endorsed by EASA MB and EASA Committee in late 2012

3. European GA Safety Strategy Follow-up 3 Involvement GA sub-SSCC. Its membership will, unlike the other sub-SSCCs, also participate in the other sub-SSCCs. Allow GA organisations to help the Agency to ensure that its rulemaking planning and processes take account of the agreed principles.

4. European GA Safety Strategy Follow-up 4 Amendments to correct issues with current regulations EAS has submitted a list of issues associated with current regulation (with detailed descriptions and recommendations) Issue list is a living document Taken up to be championed by GA sub- SSCC

5. European GA Safety Strategy Follow-up 5 Using the principles in practice Principles must not remain as abstract concepts but rather that they are incorporated in day-to-day work of the Agency in its Rulemaking tasks.

6. European GA Safety Strategy EASA’s GA project/programme (as presented last year) 6 EASA planning a significant, resourced project in 2014-5 to address the issues identified

7. GA Project EASA has… 7 re-organised: rulemaking subsumed within Flight Standards and Certification launched a project with a director-level Steering Committee: project leader is Dominique Roland, supported by Sakis Tziolas created a network of GA focal points in each department created a department for GA and RPAS certification, led by Yves Morier

8. GA Task Force 8 Created June 2014 Role ▫ To work with the EASA project team, the GA sub-SSCC and GA Road Map NAA group to support a collaborative approach to progress. ▫ To highlight areas where representatives in the various groups need to consider focusing their resource to support the agreed delivery objectives. Membership ▫ Dominique Roland (EASA – Chair of the Task Force) ▫ Jyrki Paajanen (European Commission) ▫ Tony Rapson (UK CAA – Chair of the GA road map NAA group) ▫ Andreas Winkler (Austrocontrol) ▫ Michael Erb (IAOPA EUR – Chair GA sub-SSCC) ▫ Julian Scarfe (EAS – Vice Chair GA sub-SSCC).

9. NAA GA Roadmap Group 9 EASA created group from National Aviation Authorities interested to drive the GA Roadmap Met the first time at AERO Friedrichshafen 2014 Some meetings, and all future meetings will be joint with GA sub-SSCC Very helpful in reaching across the NAA networks to communicate issues and principles Caution: we’re preaching to the converted!

10. GA Task Force Major Strategic Initiatives 10 Risk Model ▫ Risk differentiation (hierarchy) ▫ Separate acceptable risk from means of achieving Participative Safety Analysis ▫ New role for SSCC? Model on FAA GA JSC? Human Factors in Regulation ▫ Helping decision makers to apply the principles of the GA Safety Strategy with confidence

11. Projects for specific technical issues 11 GA Safety Strategy invited us to identify problems with current regulation 27 issues identified to Jules Kneepkens, Xmas 2012 How are we doing?

12. Progress with the technical issues 12 Encouraging! Fully resolved Partly resolved or in progress Not yet addressed ID Issue Change to BR required?

13. Highlights 13 CS-STAN ▫ Standard changes and repairs Amendments to Aircrew Regulation ▫ Delay from 2015 to 2018 to allow time to explore options for training outside ATOs ▫ Temporary validation for competitions Minor OPS corrections ▫ Dangerous goods of the operator ▫ Oxygen requirements ▫ Passenger definition

14. In progress 14 Part-M Light Parts without an EASA Form 1 Acceptance of FAA STCs Pilot responsibility for defect management Simplified airworthiness processes and procedures

15. Not yet addressed 15 Modular, competence-based training ▫ Radical simplification of Part-FCL required? Definition of commercial operation and complex motor powered aircraft ▫ Address in BR review Requirement for medical examination ▫ Monitor FAA progress carefully

16. FAA developments on medical “Pilot’s Bill of Rights 2” 16 S.571 H.R.1062 Driver’s Licence No medical Restrictions Private <= 6 people < 2730 kg < FL140 < 250 KIAS SEC. 2.

17. Projects to address organisational and procedural issues 17 Combined approvals (DOA/POA/Subpart- F/G) Primer of simplified GA Regulations Better exposure data for GA

18. Comments and Summary 18 Atmosphere remains very positive towards GA Seen by EASA and the airlines as an experiment in Performance Based Regulation” Prioritisation is now key Inconsistencies between NAAs remains an issue Member States have so far been positive, but there remains a real risk if they cease to be supportive
