Does AMC3 ORO.MLR.100 mandate the operations manuals to explicitly follow this table of contents? My understanding of the AMC requirement is for the items to be included in the OM but the actual manual structure (aside from OM-A, -B, etc) can be as per the operator requirements. Appreciate additional clarity.

Maybe a way to address this and prevent confusion is to clearly state "in accordance with Reg (EC) 216/2008 until adaption of Reg (EC) 2018/1139" or something to that effect? Article 139 (4) also states "References to the repealed Regulations referred to in paragraphs 1 (Regulation (EC) No 216/2008), 2 (Regulation (EC) No… Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:42:56 +0100 Robert Gottwald 304820 on Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:42:56 +0100 https://www.easa.europa.eu/community/post/1658 EASA monitoring situation regarding possible eruption of Icelandic volcano Fagradalsfjall, Nov.14 2023 https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/newsroom-and-events/news/easa-monitoring-… EASA is monitoring the situation in Iceland regarding potential eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano.

He said that most competencies for pilots will stay the same. Only Flight Path Management - Automation (FPM-A) and Flight Path Management - Manual (FPM-M) will experience a change in their performance marker. Generally there will be more focus on FPM-A due to the novel flight control system of VTOLs. Neither EASA SC-VTOL nor Opinion No 03/2023 does not specify this topic but confirms a new training approach for future VTOL-pilots due to the aforementioned challenges in flight control systems.
