Regular and continual assessment of engineering skills are essential to ensure both best practice and safety when working on AGL equipment. The keeping of personal logbooks ensures that the training needs of the individual are being maintained, and auditing can ensure this. This, with regular updates on technology and regulatory factors, as well as independent assessments on a regular basis, will ensure that AGL engineering personnel are capable of working safely and effectively to ensure compliance on an airfield.

Hi all,
I am looking for clarification concerning AMC5 CAT.OP.MPA.182 Point (a) (2) (ii) states that "for a type A or a circling approach, ceiling at or above MDH". I don't see why the circling approach has to be separately mentioned since by definition a circling approach is a Type A operation (item (20a) in Annex I - Definitions)

Hi everyone. Can someone give precise information on whether the CMM and SMM need to be combined into one manual, the OMM? Where can I also find this type of answer? Thank you!

I can't find the requirement to have the Minimum Required Fuel in the Operational Flight Plan.
Both CAT.OP.MPA.181 and the AMC require us to have the Taxi, Trip, Contingency, Alternate, Final Reserve, Additional, Extra and Discretionary in the Operational Flight Plan but I can't find the requirement to have the Minimum Required Fuel there.What am I missing? Thanks
Thanks a lot to everyone who replied to my question. I now understand that the Minimum Required Fuel in the Operational Flight Plan is not required to have but nice to have. Thanks again.

Dear community members,
Can you help me with the following issue?
Operators are obliged to have the Emergency Equipment Layout (EEL) for aircraft registration, etc.
Are operators also obliged to have the EEL on board and visible? If so, can you indicate the regulation/requirement that establishes this need?
Thank you!
In the event the physical card cannot be found, can it be digital on the EFK from the crew?

Dear all,
I wanted to get your opinion on the following question:
1) Do you consider that navigation charts are required in critical phases of the flight? (take-off run, the take-off flight path, the final approach, the missed approach, the landing, including the landing roll)
2) Do you interpret that the EASA regulation requires it?
The context is the use of portable EFBs as a source for navigation charts. For the portable EFB to be used in all the critical phases of the flight, it requires a support/mounting device (ref to AMC1 CAT.GEN.MPA.141(a)).
I couldn't find any reference in the regulation requiring charts in critical phases of the flight, but the RIM (Ramp Inspection Manual) Appendix 1 asks SAFA inspectors to enforce it (refer to page 36, PDF Code = A03-14).
Javier, please keep us posted on the results, it sounds interesting, wondering if it's subject to interpretation from the inspector, or we are missing something here that might apply to other airlines. I agree with the others, as long as its accessible, it should be enough. When there are ramp findings, we find that requesting additional clarification from the inspector helps, if you have not done so, I would request it and put the reference above on how it is not mandatory, as long as its accessible, which based on your question, can i assume it is not stowed away in a section of the plane which the crew can only access once they are on the ground blocked in? Interesting topic, thank you for the question.
