Regulation Air operations – CAT operations
Scope of OPS phase I
CAT operations with
aeroplanes, helicopters
Derogations (OPS Phase I) – helicopter related
Specific Annex II aircraft when used in CAT operations
Member States may continue to require a specific approval and additional requirements for helicopter offshore operations
Helicopter operations to public interest sites may continue outside performance class 1 and under conditions defined by the MS

25.09.13 helitech | EASA mid-term agenda
Transition to new European OPS rules
As from the date of entry into force of Reg. 965/2012 (September 2012)
Competent authority
adapt management procedures, inspector’s handbooks, certification software, etc.
prepare a conversion report for CAT(H) in consultation with EASA, describing how and when CAT(H) AOCs holders will move to full compliance with new rules
Operators
adapt management systems, operational procedures, training programmes, manuals
25.09.13 helitech | EASA mid-term agenda 14
Transition to new European OPS rules
Around 6 months before the transition period elapses (March 2014)
Transition process for operators should be almost finalised
Initial certification or AOC renewal to be based on new rules if likely not completed before end of opt-out period
25.09.13 helitech | EASA mid-term agenda 15
Transition to new European OPS rules
Conversion of CAT helicopter operations
AOC:
no grandfathering
New AOC to be issued when the operator is fully compliant
Member States to establish conversion report describing:
the national requirements on the basis of which the AOCs were issued
the scope of privileges that were given to the operators
the differences between the national requirements and the new rules
how and when the operators will be required to ensure full compliance with new rules
