Introduction to EASA Regulations for Aerodrome Operators and Authorities
With the introduction of COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 139/2014 of 12 February 2014 EASA has now assumed responsibility on behalf of the member states to manage the criteria by which member states will demonstrate compliance with ICAO Annex 14.
The regulation contains the rules for the certification, management, operation and design of aerodromes. Furthermore the regulation is supported by Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC), Certification Specification (CS) and Guidance Material (GM) all provided by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Only airports open for commercial air transport with at least one paved runway of 800 metres or more are affected It is of course necessary for EASA to achieve the maximum conformity with Aerodrome Rules for Europe ICAO’s Annex 14.
The focus of the new regulation and the forward view of EASA across the entire regulatory environment and its requirements is on a performance-based regulatory system which promotes common safety, operational and management standards for aerodromes across Europe.
As with other EASA regulations there are a number of concepts which are somewhat new to both the European Authorities and the Aerodrome Operators.
Whilst the regulations must be based on existing ICAO Standards, Recommendations and Guidance, they have a typical flavour which could be described as European.
Key features include the implementation of an effective management system which includes Safety (Safety Management System – SMS) as well as Quality and Compliance.
Competence becomes a key area with the need to demonstrate adequate manning levels, resources and decision-making authority for senior management.
As part of the management system Aerodrome operators are required to take a major responsibility for their own oversight, through performance monitoring and measuring.
During the transition period, NAAs and aerodrome operators will need to build an effective working relationship to achieve the transition on time, comply with all European Rules and to maintain a useful basis for continuing oversight and certificate validity; fully understanding the new requirements is the first step of this process.
Competent Authorities involved in the certification and oversight of aerodromes, aerodrome operators and apron management service providers shall comply with the requirements laid down in Annex II to this Regulation before 31 December 2017.
