Air Operations

The re-use of defuelled fuel. Does anyone knows any existent EASA Rule?

Dear colleagues,

I would like to ask some questions regarding the new training for Flight Operations Officers established in the AIR OPS. Hope you can assist me.

As part of the Regulation 2021/1296 and the corresponding Decision 2022/005/R, applicable from October, a new training is defined for FOOs/FDs in AMC1 ORO.GEN.110(c)&(e) Operator responsibilities.

IATA defines, in addition to the term FOO, the term FOA, which refers to "A suitably qualified person or specialist designated by an Operator with specific responsibilities relevant to the control and supervision of flight operations who supports, briefs and/or assists the FOO and/or pilot-incommand." However, this definition does not exist in the AIR OPS regulation.

Therefore, my questions are:
- Does the personnel considered as FOA for an IOSA operator fall into the FOO definition when referring to the AIR OPS?
- Is the training established in the above mentioned AMC applicable to a FOA?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Nazariy
