ORO.GEN.200 : KEY POINTS SMS is addressed as part of “Organisation Requirements – Management System” Organisation requirements • are compatible with existing management systems • encourage integrated management • provide proportionality (complex versus non-complex organisations) • provide flexibility (details in AMC) These organisation requirements set the standard for implementing SMS in the other areas within EASA’s remit. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 29

Management System most relevant IR: ORO.GEN.200 (extract) (a) An operator shall establish, implement and maintain a management system that includes: (1) clearly defined lines of responsibility and accountability throughout the organisation, including a direct safety accountability of the accountable manager; (2) a description of the overall philosophies and principles of the organisation with regard to safety, referred to as the safety policy ; (3) the identification of aviation safety hazards entailed by the activities of the organisation, their evaluation and the management of associated risks , including taking effective actions to mitigate the risk ; (4) maintaining personnel trained and competent to perform their tasks; (5) documentation of all management system key processes, including a process for making personnel aware of their responsibilities, and its amendment procedure; (6) a function to monitor compliance of the organisation with the relevant requirements. Compliance monitoring shall include a feedback system of findings to the accountable manager to ensure effective implementation of corrective actions as necessary. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 30

SMS integrated approach Safety management Compliance Finance & Budget monitoring Management System Responsibilities & Contracting Accountability Personnel Facilities requirements 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 31

Integrated approach SMS should not be implemented through an additional management system requirement superimposed onto the existing rules, but be fully integrated in the organisation’s existing management system. Safety management should include every facet of management that may impact aviation safety (financial, operational, health and safety, etc…). Safety, as well as compliance with rules, should be a concern for all personnel and for all activities of the organisation. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 32

Proportionality The management system shall correspond to the size of the organisation and the complexity of its activities, taking into account the hazards and associated risks inherent in these activities. (see also ICAO Annex 6 Appendix 7) How is this achieved? different sets of AMCs for details of SMS implementation “complex” and “non - complex” are contained as AMC organisations 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 33

Proportionality Definition of organisational complexity - three criteria: Size, in terms of staffing Complexity of the activities number of operating sites number and type of contractors … Risks involved type of operations, e.g. specialised operations (helicopter external sling load) type of aircraft operating environment (offshore ….) 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 34

Flexibility Organisations may use means alternative to those established in the AMC issued by the Agency: “alternative means of compliance”  Organisations need to apply to their competent authority and demonstrate that an equivalent level of safety can be reaiched.  They may use such alternative means of compliance following approval by their competent authority. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 35

CAT.OP.MPA – amendments Commencement and continuation of approach CAT.OP.MPA.305 / 3.405 The outermarker is replaced by 1 000 ft; additional rule for approaches where the DH/MDH is above 1 000 ft of the aerodrome height. A new AMC summaries the specifications for visual references for different approach operations. The rule sources for this AMC are the specifications for visual references contained in Appendix 1 OPS 3.430. The text for EVS has been amended to align with SPA.LVO.110(c) 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 63

CAT.POL.H Scope of CAT.POL.H Performance and operating limitations (POL) for CAT operations with helicopters (H) Containing all performance requirements, including specific approvals (except HEMS and HHO) CAT.POL.H consists of 4 Chapters following JAR-OPS 3 structure Chapter 1 – General requirements Chapter 2 – Performance class 1 Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 3.005(i) – Public Interest Site Chapter 3 – Performance class 2 Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 3.517(a) – Operations without an assured safe forced landing capability Chapter 4 – Performance class 3 Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 3.005(e) – Mountain and remote areas in Performance class 3 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 64

CAT.POL.H Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 3.005(c) not transposed - contradicting the Essential Requirements (4.a.) This issue is currently being addressed by RMT.0132 Agency task foreseen to be concluded by 2016 Operations without an assured safe forced landing capability For legal clarity reason, the ‘set of conditions’ to be implemented to operate without an assured safe forced landing capability is spelled out and no longer explained in an AMC There will be a new GM to explain under which circumstances FADEC can be considered as a recording device for the purpose of recording the required engine parameters 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 65

CAT.POL.H Specific approvals CAT.POL.H.225 – Helicopter operations to/from a Public Interest Site CAT.POL.H.420 – Helicopter operations over a hostile environment located outside a congested area The obligation for obtaining a prior approval of the authority of the State in which it is intended to conduct these operations has been changed into the obligation to obtain an endorsement. In cases where that authority is not the same as the authority issuing the AOC. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 66

CAT.POL.H Specific approvals CAT.POL.H.225 – Helicopter operations to/from a Public Interest Site Changes have been made to reflect EASA competence Aerodromes, including equipment, located in the territory subject to the provisions of the Treaty, open to public use and which serve commercial air transport and where operations using instrument approach or departure procedures are provided, and: (a) have a paved runway of 800 m or above; or (b) exclusively serve helicopters; shall comply with this Regulation. Personnel and organisations involved in the operation of these aerodromes shall comply with this Regulation . EASA can therefore not mandate a site improvement programme for hospital sites EASA will endeavour to make Member States aware of this necessity by promoting its inclusion in the SSP of the Member States and investigate the inclusion in the EASP/EASp. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 67

CAT.POL.H Chapter 1 – General requirements Small changes, to better differentiate between the objective and method of compliance Definitions aligned with CS definitions, and updated since EASA is the authority responsible for the TC Several are deleted, as they have become obsolete as a result of definitions used in the Basic Regulation CAT.POL.H.110 – obstacle accountability 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 68

CAT.POL.H Chapter 2 – Performance class 1 Small changes, to delete duplication Chapter 3 – Performance class 2 Already mentioned before the ‘set of conditions’ to be implemented to operate without an assured safe forced landing capability is spelled out and no longer explained in an AMC New GM addressing FADEC for the purpose of recording the required engine parameters 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 69

CAT.POL.H Chapter 4 – Performance class 3 CAT.POL.H.420 – helicopter operations over a hostile environment located outside a congested area Redrafted following the outcome of discussions in the EASA committee Approval can only be given following a safety risk assessment by the operator Elements to be considered in this safety risk assessment are now included in a new AMC An example of a safety risk assessment is provided in new GM Current text agreed with the Commission 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 70

CAT.POL.MAB Scope and content of CAT.POL.MAB Implementing Essential Requirements for air operations referred to in Article 8 of Reg. (EC) No 216/2008 Annex IV: 2. Flight preparation 2.a.3. (iv) Mass and balance 2.a.3. (v) Loading while preserving as much as possible existing standards (JAR-OPS 3 subpart J & related Section 2 material) CAT.POL.MAB consists of two chapters: Chapter 1 – motor-powered aircraft Chapter 2 – other-than motor-powered aircraft 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 71

CAT.POL.MAB Scope and content of CAT.POL.MAB (cont.) Unlike the rest of Subpart POL, where the performance requirements are broken down into aircraft-specific sections, mass and balance requirements were kept together, since only a few differences exist between aeroplanes and helicopters. Only two implementing rules in the final version: CAT.POL.MAB.100 Mass and balance, loading CAT.POL.MAB.105 Mass and balance data and documentation Appendices are transposed at AMC level Some further changes have been introduced after the public consultation of the NPA and the CRD 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 72

CAT.POL.MAB Differences to JAR-OPS 3 Appendix 1 to OPS 3.605 and related IEM: Text on CG limits, operational CG envelope and in-flight CG has been merged and clarified at AMC level ( AMC1 CAT.POL.MAB.100(b) ). OPS 3.607 - Terminology Definitions have been moved to Annex I – Definitions and its AMC. OPS 3.620 and Appendices: Approval for alternative standard masses are no longer required. The approval process is replaced by the alternative means of compliance procedure. A similar change has been made for pooled weighing surveys performed by different operators. ( AMC1 CAT.POL.MAB.100(e) ) Additional criteria for the approval of standard masses for load items other than passengers and baggage is added. ( CAT.POL.MAB.100 (f) ) 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 73

CAT.POL.MAB Differences to JAR-OPS 3 (cont.) OPS 3.625 and Appendixes: Flexibility for managing tolerances when using fleet CGs has been allowed for, provided a proper risk assessment is completed by the operator. ( AMC1 CAT.POL.MAB.100(b) ) Mass and balance computer systems (CAT.POL.MAB.105(e) / GM1 & GM2 CAT.POL.MAB.105(e)) Mass and balance documentation provisions expanded to cover the use of different types of mass and balance systems. A GM has been added to provide definitions on “on -board integrated mass and balance computer system” and “stand alone computerised mass and balance system”. Electronic signature (AMC1 CAT.POL.MAB.105(c)) AMC added to clarify what can be considered equivalent to a signature. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 74

CAT.IDE.H Scope and content of CAT.IDE.H Implementing Essential Requirements for air operations referred to in Article 8 of EC 216/2008 Annex IV: 5. Instruments, data and equipment 5.a Equipment necessary for the intended flight 5.b Safety, medical, evacuation and survival equipment 5.c Data necessary for the execution of the flight while preserving as much as possible existing standards (JAR-OPS 3 subpart K, L & related Section 2 material), ensuring compliance with ICAO SARPs and taking into account certain JAA NPAs. Subpart IDE consists of four sections addressing different aircraft categories. Helicopters are covered in Section 2 . 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 75

CAT.IDE.H Scope and content of CAT.IDE.H (cont.) The rule sequence is aligned as much as possible with JAR- OPS 3 Subparts K and L respectively. Equipment and instruments specifications are, as far as possible, given at AMC level, being performance objectives set at IR level. This approach, while ensuring flexibility, will also facilitate the development of alternative AMCs in the future. Proportionality is ensured using criteria of Mass, Passenger seating configuration (MOPSC) or date of first issue of the CofA in order to define the applicability of certain requirements. Further changes have been introduced after the public consultation of the NPA and the CRD. 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 76

CAT.IDE.H Differences to JAR-OPS 3 Approval of instruments and equipment The approval requirements on the instruments and equipment required by CAT.IDE.H.100 have been drafted with regard to Part- 21. Additional provisions have been added to ensure that instruments and equipment not required by Part-CAT, that do not need to be approved in accordance with Part-21, are not used for safety functions and do not affect airworthiness. MEL The former content of OPS 3.030 is transposed in Subpart IDE ( CAT.IDE.H.105 ) 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 77

CAT.IDE Differences to JAR-OPS 3 (cont.) Cockpit voice & flight data recorders These requirements ( CAT.IDE.H.185/190 ) have been revised in accordance with the latest developments of ICAO Annex 6 and EUROCAE standards taking into account certain JAA NPAs. Relevant AMCs and GMs have been developed Data link recording A requirement for recording of data link communications ( CAT.IDE.H.195 ) is added in accordance with ICAO Annex 6 The date for mandating data link communication recording ideally should be as soon as data link is used for essential VHF communications, but many comments requested sufficient notice to avoid costly retrofit. It is proposed to mandate two years after the OPS Regulation enters into force, i.e. 2014. Relevant AMCs and GMs have been developed 20.09.2012 EHA Information Day 78

CAT.IDE.H Restraint systems The requirements on upper torso restraint (UTR) systems ( CAT.IDE.H.205 ) have been updated. Oxygen The alleviation for oxygen requirements for pilots ( CAT.IDE.H.240 ) is kept, as originally given in JAR-OPS 3, for other-than-complex helicopters operated between 10 000 ft and 13 000 ft for a period up to 30 minutes, after comments to the CRD. Further exemptions for short incursions between 13 000 ft and 16 000ft, originally foreseen by JAR-OPS 3 under a specific approval of the authority will have to be handled through Article 14 of the Basic Regulation. These further exemptions are not in line with ICAO SARPs and to be approved should be based on specific mitigating measures (e.g. operator’s experience, pilot’s physiological adaptation to certain altitudes.
