Rulemaking status for TCO

EASA is preparing for the implementation of Part-TCO.

The rulemaking procedure for the envisaged Part-TCO is on-going:

NPA issued in April 2011 received 234 comments

CRD 2011-05 issued in January 2012

EASA opinion published in November 2012

Awaiting final text approbation and publication on Official Journal

As such, nothing contained hereafter:

constitutes a final policy, concept or procedure and may be subject to changes; or

should be considered binding on the Agency or on the European Commission.

27

„One stop shop“ principle

A single European system for the vetting the safety performance of foreign (non-EU) commercial air transport (CAT) operators.

The authorisation issued by EASA will become a prerequisite for EU Member States to grant operating permits/traffic rights.

Confidence-based assessment methodology

Lack of confidence into the Operator

Lack of confidence into oversight

capabilities of the State of the

Operator

Data-driven model for the determination of confidence

Safety data available for the State of the operator

Safety data available for Operator

EASA for COSCAP-NA SC13 April 2013

TCO Assessment Model Input

1. State Dimension: • How capable is the State in pro-

actively managing the aggregated risk of all its certified operators?

• How much credible data is available to EASA from that State?

2. Operator Dimension: • Do we have data that provide confidence

that an operator is capable to operate in compliance with international standards?

• What is the risk exposure to EU citizens by the intended scope of operations?

EASA for COSCAP-NA SC13 April 2013

35

Confidence based operator assessment process

Standard case: Simple desk-top review

Further information required: Additional questionnaire and telecommunication as necessary

Critical operator: Interview with the operator at the EASA headquarters in Cologne

In the standard process, on-site audits are not foreseen.

Assessment criteria

ICAO:

Annex 1 (Personnel Licensing)

Annex 6 (Operations of Aircraft)

Annex 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft)

Annex 18 (Dangerous Goods)

soon: Annex 19 (SMS) (2)

Operations

(3) Safety Management System

(1) Airworthiness

TCO Authorisation = Validation of an Air Operator Certificate (AOC),

issued by an ICAO contracting State

Continuous Monitoring

Monitoring of changes

e.g. new aircraft type

The operator is responsible to keep all information current via the web application

Enforcement:

limitation,

suspension,

revocation

proposition of fines

Performance based file review period

between 12 and 48 months

Ad-hoc investigations as necessary (event based)

An on-site audit is required prior to reinstating an authorisation after suspension or revocation.

37

EASA for COSCAP-NA SC13 April 2013

Relation to the EU Safety List

The European Commission continues to be in charge of of the EU Safety List (Reg EC 2111/2005).

The EASA TCO authorisation scheme follows a „white list“ principle and complements the EU safety list.

Close coordination will be in place between the European Commission and EASA, supported by harmonized working procedures.

Operators subject to an EU operating ban may apply for a TCO Authorisation. Depending on the circumstances the case will be coordinated with the European Commission and may require an on-site audit.

38

EASA for COSCAP-NA SC13 April 2013

TCO project timelines

EASA has published its Opinion for Implementing Rules on Part TCO on November 26, 2012. It serves the European Commission as the basis for the adoption of a Commission Regulation by when the new rules will become applicable.

EASA will commence the new task as soon as the rules enter into force. No entry into force date can be specified at this time.

Operators must apply for a TCO authorisation within 6 months following the the date of entry into force.

A transition phase of not less than 24 months will be introduced in order to ensure continuity of international air traffic.

What air operators should do

Analyse the own network with regard to applicability of Part-TCO (e.g. European Overseas Territories)

Subscribe to the TCO Latest News feature in order to stay updated on the implementation of Part-TCO

http://www.easa.europa.eu/approvals-and-standardisation/third-country-operators-latest-news.php

-(Xiamen, Beijing Capital, Asiana, Korean Air, CA Mongolia, CA Macau)

Apply within the given timeframe for a TCO Authorisation

40

Important note:

Foreign air operators who fail to apply for a TCO authorisation within six 6 months after entry into force or Part-TCO may face delays in their

authorisation process which can potentially lead to a disruption of the operation to the EU until completion of their assessment and issuance of the

TCO authorisation.

It is therefore in the best interest of operators to apply for a TCO authorisation within the application period (6 months after Part-TCO entry into force).

41

Key Messages

1. TCO Authorisation based on EASA‘s confidence into the foreign AOC

2. Validation of foreign AOC within scope of operations specifications (not another certification of the operator)

3. Prerequisite for TCO to exercise traffic rights / entry permits

4. Confidence-based assessment based on ICAO Standards (not EU rules)

5. Enforcement (limitation, suspension, revocation or the proposition of fines)

6. Transitional measures to ensure continuity of air traffic

7. Entry into force: Tentatively planned in late 2013

8. Close coordination with the EU Safety list mechanism

9. Foreign operators/stakeholders should monitor Part-TCO and subscribe to TCO latest news updates:
