EU Aviation Strategy

• Last December the EU published “An Aviation Strategy for Europe”

• Highlights several important future orientations for EASA:• Adoption of a performance-based approach to regulation

• Pooling and sharing of technical resources between national authorities

• Combine effective security measures with new methods and technologies

• Assess cyber risks, foster security by design and establish necessary emergency response

• Revised Basic Regulation in the field of civil aviation safety including the introduction of provisions on drones

RPAS/UAV – Regulatory Work

Operation Centric

Risk Based

Flexible

Technical Opinion

Regulatory alignment

EASA Highlights for COSCAP/NA Steering Committee, June 2016 - javier.vicedo@easa.europa.eu 6

RPAS/UAV – Risk Based Approach

OPENLow risk; No involvement of Aviation Authority (law enforcement – e.g. police)

Limitations: Visual line of sight, Maximum Altitude, distance from airport and sensitive zones

SPECIFICIncreased risk; Operations Authorisation with operations manual

Specific qualification of drone, personnel, equipment based on safety assessment (Specific Operation Risk Assessment – SORA)

CERTIFIEDRegulatory regime similar to manned aviation

EASA and Authority Certificates

RPAS/UAV – Future Roadmap

• A more detailed Roadmap is being developed in cooperation with EC and NL presidency

• International Harmonization: JARUS, ICAO

• Cooperation with NAAs on State Aircraft

• Coordination of Research & Development

• Two new Task forces: Geo-limitation, Risk of Collision between drones and a/c

• Safety Promotion and Communication Plan

Risk Based Oversight (RBO)

EASA Highlights for COSCAP/NA Steering Committee, June 2016 - javier.vicedo@easa.europa.eu 10

Risk perception & management

Performance Based Regulations (PBR):One Size Does Not Fit All

Oversight should be proportionate to the complexity of the activities, and the associated risks inherent in these

RBO: Inspectors’ Competency WG

EASA Highlights for COSCAP/NA Steering Committee, June 2016 - javier.vicedo@easa.europa.eu 11

RBO: Ongoing Developments

Use of safety information

Information sharing

Training and qualification of inspectors

Conduct of Audits within

RBO

Cooperation with other CAs

Risk profiling

Enforcement policy

Oversight of cross-border organisations

EASA Highlights for COSCAP/NA Steering Committee, June 2016 - javier.vicedo@easa.europa.eu 12

RBO: Benefits

Data driven decisions

Measureable desired outcomes

Better identification of hazards

System-wide risk pictures

More effective oversight, Improved safety focus

Better allocation of resources

Complements the existing prescriptive regulatory system

Does not automatically mean less oversight

EASA Highlights for COSCAP/NA Steering Committee, June 2016 - javier.vicedo@easa.europa.eu 13

RBO: NAA feedback examples

Simplified common tools, systems and processes improveefficiency

Providing opportunities for industry and regulator to worktogether and deliver joint safety outcomes

Inspectors working in a cross domain environment

Investment in Inspector competencies (soft skills training) ismaking a difference

A voluntary and collaborativepartnership amongst all

stakeholders

Independent governance

(dual management authorities/industry)

An IT organisation with Big Data Competence

Outcome shared for the benefit of the whole community:

Risk identification and analysis

Linked with other international initiatives (US, Asia-Pacific,

IATA,…)

The Safety Aviation Forum for Europe

• Why?• Enable a full and wide-scale engagement of the safety community

• Provide a European-wide safety network and information sharing forum

• Natural complement to the Data4Safety programme

• Collaborative and voluntary “Mike off” forum to enable open dialogue

• Proposal of format• Co-organised EASA/Industry

• A 3-day forum, once a year

• Plenary sessions:

• Presentation of the EPAS and ASR

• Forum for D4S to present work and progress

• Breakout thematic sessions chosen by industry

The Safety Aviation Forum

for Europe

Third Country Operators (TCO)

• TCO transition period on-going; deadline 26/11/2016• 750 applicants from 105 States; approximately 7.600 foreign aircraft

• 400 authorisations issued ( = 99% of scheduled passenger flights)

• 4 negative decisions on safety grounds, 100 on non-safety grounds

• Numerous TCO audits on site and technical meetings

• TCO network established with MS focal points is working well

• Future improvements:• SAFA-like read-only access web-Interface access to Third Country

Authorities

• Registered staff will only see data of operators certified in their respective State
