Key facts and links
The new European NCC rules
have been drafted together with the Industry and authorities
adhere to performance-based rulemaking principles –
binding implementing rules contain safety objectives and performance targets
whereas means to comply with the safety objectives and performance target are on the AMC level
allow and support a proportionate implementation of requirements, taking duly into account the size of the operator and nature of the operation
offer enhanced flexibility and efficiency, e.g. through the concept of alternative means of compliances
provide full ICAO compliance
applicable by 25 August 2016 (end of opt-out period)

Implementing Rules: Reg. (EU) 800/2013 amending Reg. (EU) 965/2012

Rule hierarchy
• legal binding requirements adopted by the European Commission
• deviations from IRs are only possible through the flexibility procedures described in Article 14 of the Basic Regulation 216/2008
Implementing rules (IR)
• technical / procedural material
• one means to comply with the IR – but not the only one, operator as well as the Authority can develop alternative means of compliance (AltMOC)
Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC)
• interpretative / explanatory material
• provides guidance on how the IR or AMC should be understood

Actions for NCC operators
Preparatory tasks for NCC operators
make yourself familiar with the new requirements as soon as possible
get into contact with your competent authority, which is the authority of your principal place of business
ask your authority if a gap analysis is available providing information on differences between your currently applicable national rules and the future European rules
if your applicable national rules are ICAO compliant, the differences to NCC rules should be very minor; however, check in particular that you are prepared for
a management system, proportionate to your operations
an operations manual, proportionate to your operations
a training programme, proportionate to your operations
an approved MEL
submit your declaration form by 24 August 2016
if you use alternative means of compliance, inform your authority together with the declaration
ask your authority for a list of specific approvals, where appropriate, e.g. for LVO, RVSM, MNPS, DG

WHAT NEEDS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED?
There are several tasks to be taken care of:
• Nominate an Accountable Manager (and other management positions as deemed necessary)
• Assign the aircraft to a CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation)
• Create an Operations Manual including a Management System
• Create a tail sign specific MEL (and have it approved by the Competent Authority)
• Apply for specific approvals (e.g. RVSM, LVO)
The fulfillment of these tasks should be proportionate to the size and complexity of the operation.
