Establishment of the CB

DAAD*

• The components of an agreed CB are the relevant CS used, ELOS and Special Conditions (if accepted and prescribed).

• ELOS, Special Condition and DAAD cases must be supported by a Safety Assessment.

• ELOS, Special Condition and DAAD must be documented.

• Agreed CB is binding on an individual basis to the applicant.

* For pre-existing deviations only: Additional option of acceptance via “DAAD“ mechanism (Art. 7 of 139/2014)

Certification Specifications (CS) are technical standards for aerodrome design

Certification Specifications

(mentioned in ADR.ARC.020)

11

• CS’s are non-binding technical standards adopted by the EASA to meet the essential requirements of the Basic Regulation (Annex Va) for the purpose of certification.

• CS’s relevant for the type of operations are to used by the applicant. • CS’s to be used by the applicant in the last effective version. • Once established using the CS’s, the agreed CB, becomes binding on an

individual basis to the applicant. • ADR operator needs to comply with any relevant new CS’s.

Relevant and latest effective CS are to be

used

CA needs to confirm that these are the applicable CS

Become component of

binding CB

Elements of Certification Basis (ADR.AR.C.020)

22 September 2015

Can apply to any deviation from the relevant CS

Only used when CA accepts the possibility to demonstrate ELOS

If accepted then component of

binding CB

12

Elements of Certification Basis (ADR.AR.C.020)

• Should an applicant not meet the recommendation of the relevant CS, he can propose an ELOS that demonstrates how he meets the intent of the CS.

• If allowed to do so, the applicant has to demonstrate the ELOS. • Applicant must undertake Safety Assessment. • ELOS must be documented. • When accepted by the CA would not be linked to conditions.

Equivalent Level of Safety (ELOS)

(see ADR.AR.C.020)

22 September 2015

13

Elements of Certification Basis (ADR.AR.C.020)

• SC can be used when the relevant CS is inappropriate or inadequate because:

• physical, topographical or similar limitations related to the location of ADR; or

• ADR has novel or unusual design features; or

• experience from the operation of that ADR or others having similar design features has shown that safety may be endangered.

• Before prescribing a SC a safety assessment must be undertaken.

• SC comprises the technical specification and/or the limitations, operations conditions and procedures that the applicant has to fulfil

Special condition (SC) (see ADR.AR.C.025)

Special detailed technical specifications to ensure

compliance with the ER’s of Annex Va

Can only be prescribed by CA If prescribed then

component of binding CB

22 September 2015

Only a possibility for CA if ELOS or Special Condition impossible

CA compiles evidence and specifies period of validity

Extra document not part of CB

14

(maybe) attached to Certificate

• DAAD only for Pre-existing deviation/s (pre-2014).

• New DAAD applications until 2024 but longer validity possible.

• Safety assessment to be done and mitigation put in place.

• Regular review of DAAD validity and the mitigation measures needed.

• Action to remove DAAD may be possible or desired in the future

Deviation Acceptance and Action Document (DAAD, see Art.6)

CS’s =

Technical Standards that, if used, comply

with safety requirements

NAA can agree on

deviations,

if

applicant proves that an applicable CS is inadequate/inappropriate + establishes

with NAA special technical specifications to comply with ER’s

applicant proves that another design meets safety requirements and has a

level of safety equivalent to the applicable CS

CB is the NAA’s confirmation of how an applicant can show

compliance with the safety requirements (ER’s and IR’s)

CB as

established

by NAA on

applicant’s

proposal

or

established

by EASA

Deviations established by NAAs (local flexibility)

Topics for the discussion:

22 September 2015

Thank you!

Aerodrome operators realised that they are given more responsibility to ensure they are compliant with the rules.

An important factor in the conversion of the aerodromes has been the flexibility built into the rules that has allowed both the CAA and the aerodrome operators to mitigate some of the unusual issues that have arisen.
