Air Operations

Thank you for sharing, Michel.

Massimiliano's comment is very important since not all Large aeroplanes will be targeted. Only brand new one from this date.

Kudos to you for publishing this clear overview of the recent SERA changes. A very helpful resource for in the national authorities working to inform the aviation industry. Hope to see this as a best practice for further regulatory changes 😀

Thank you John, I am - in addition to Avation - also an Organizational Psychologist and I believe that these thoughts not only can, but should be applied in all fields where Human Factors are part of the systems! (meaning everywhere...;-))

Hi all - I got a further update from the Air Ops Team here about the opinion that Adina referred to.

The transposition of the EDTO standards of ICAO annex 6 part I is being processed within the scope of the rulemaking task RMT.0392. An NPA was published in May 2023 and went under a 3 months public consultation. The Agency is currently preparing the Opinion containing the related proposed amendments to Regulation (EU) 965/2012 to the Commission for their adoption.

Among the foreseen amendments, the aeroplanes with more than 2 engines are indeed expected to be included in the scope of EDTO in accordance with the ICAO related SARPs. A transition period is foreseen once the regulation is adopted in order to allow operators and competent authorities to adapt their procedures/training programmes to the planned changes.

The Opinion is expected to be published in Q4 2025.
