This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addresses safety and regulatory coordination issues related to the standardised European rules of the air (SERA).
It proposes amendments to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 923/2012 (the SERA Regulation) and to the related acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM), which implement the initial requirements of the flight and flow — information for a collaborative environment (FF-ICE) concept and introduces consequential amendments to existing requirements.
In order to ensure the necessary regulatory consistency, this NPA proposes also amendments to Annex I (Part-Definitions) and Annex VI (Part-AIS) to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373, and to Annex I (Definitions), Annex III (Part-ORO) and Annex IV (Part-CAT) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 and the related AMC and GM concerning FF-ICE requirements.
The proposed amendments are expected to contribute to a seamless and gradual implementation of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/116 (the CP1 Regulation) by introducing FF-ICE services in Regulations (EU) No 923/2012, (EU) 2017/373 and (EU) No 965/2012.
