What is required from operators?
Operators will need to be familiar with the EASA Basic Regulation
and the Air Operations Regulation. They will also need to comply with the detailed implementing rules in Annex
III (Part-ORO Organisation Requirements) and Annex VI (Part-NCC) and Part-FCL. If an operator needs specific approvals, for example, covering low visibility operations,
performance based navigation or dangerous goods; they will need to comply with elements of Annex V (Part-SPA).
Affected operators need to understand the rules and ensure they are in compliance.
Operators must
Have an operations manual.
Have a management system.
Have an approved minimum equipment list (MEL) for each aircraft.
Complete and submit a declaration to us which details their aircraft type, their operational and continuing
airworthiness arrangements, any approvals held etc.
Ensure that the pilot(s) flying the aircraft hold(s) a Part-FCL licence or a validation issued under Annex III to
Part-FCL.
Once compliant, affected operators must make a declaration to us (in accordance with Part-ORO).
How do you make a declaration to the CAA?
What support is available to operators?
There are a number of business aircraft management partners for non commercial aircraft services and trade
associations who offer support to owners/operators having to comply with the requirements of Part-NCC. These types of
organisations may be able to provide advice and guidance to operators, for example, on developing operations
manuals.
