Introduction –
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).
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.
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.
Clearly we can this places fundamental obligations on the role of the Quality Assurance Manager and QA department.
