Will an operator be able to convert to compliance with EASA Implementing Rules faster than the end of the derogation period?
Yes, this can/will be agreed with the assigned Inspector. However, an EASA Implementing Rules Air Operator’s Certificate cannot be issued until the end of the derogation period. In the meantime, an applicant will be issued a national Air Operator’s Certificate which will indicate that the operator is compliant with EASA Implementing Rules. (last updated September 2012)
