Air Operations

Dear colleagues,

I have a question concerning the Table 5 in AMC2 SPA.LVO.100(b). In this table a difference is made in the roll-out control/guidance system for operations with DH between 0-49ft or NO DH.
According CS AWO.B.CATIII.113 point (c) and (d) the landing system must always be fail-operational but the ground-roll control can be fail-operational or fail-passive. Does this mean that there are certain aircraft types that can have a fail-operational landing system but a fail-passive roll-out control/guidance system?

Many thanks.

Training of CRM trainers (flight crew and cabin crew)

EASA states that 'the training of flight crew CRM trainers should be conducted by flight crew CRM trainers with a minimum of 3 years experience' and that 'the training of cabin crew CRM trainers should be conducted by cabin crew CRM trainers with a minimum of 3 years experience'.

Am I correct in assuming that means that joint 5 day CRM trainer courses (attended by both flight crew and cabin crew) are no longer permitted, and that flight crew and cabin crew will each have to do separate courses, conducted by their respective trainers?

Many thanks, John

Dear colleagues,

On 7th october 2020, the ToR RMT.0392 was published and one of the topics included there was "operations performed by a group of aircraft operators sharing the same management system or belonging to the same ‘mother company’ (also called ‘group operations’)".

Recently, this concept of "group operations" was addressed in the NPA 2023-01, regarding operational control personnel training across the EU. There is also a guidance document for NAAs, "Guidance for the oversight of group operations".

Is it expected to publish a NPA or some guidance material directed to operators that are willing to benefit from the "group operations" concept, with the future requirements for their management systems, operational procedures, training programmes, etc?

Thank you in advance and best regards,

Nazariy
