The Decisions issue acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM) to Regulation (EU) 2024/1111 which addresses new operational and mobility concepts that are based on innovative technologies, such as aircraft with a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, and fosters and promotes their acceptance and adoption by European citizens.
The Decisions issue amendments to existing AMC and GM, and issue new AMC and GM as well, to illustrate the means to show compliance with the operational requirements applicable to manned VTOL-capable aircraft (VCA).
The specific objectives of both amended and new AMC and GM are to:
- enable operators to safely implement the applicable regulations for the operation of manned VCA in the single European sky (SES);
- ensure that the applicable conditions are met as regards the safe operation of manned VCA in the ATM environment;
- support innovation and development in the field of innovative air mobility (IAM) through the implementation of an efficient, proportionate, and well-designed regulatory framework which does not unnecessarily hinder the development of the manned VCA market;
- provide guidance to the competent authorities of the EU Member States for the implementation of the applicable regulations on manned VCA;
- provide guidance to manufacturers and operators of manned VCA for the deployment of operations with manned VCA;
- support the early adoption of IAM technologies, products and services.
