I am not familiar with the Air ops rules’ structure. Which parts apply to which operators?

Answer

Reference: Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 on Air Operations and the associated Decisions

This is determined by the nature of your flight, and in the case of non-commercial operations, by the type of aircraft used. The following diagram indicates under which requirements your flight should be operating.

Commercial operations	Commercial air transport (CAT) operations	Technical rules: Part-CAT
		Operator rules: Part-ORO
	Specialised operations (aerial work)	Technical rules: Part-SPO
		Operator rules: Part-ORO
Non-commercial operations	Non-commercial operations other than SPO (e.g. business/corporate flights, leisure flights, private flights, training flights)	With CMPA:	Technical rules: Part-NCC Operator rules: Part-ORO
		With Ot-CMPA:	Technical rules: Part-NCO
	Specialised operations (aerial work)	With CMPA:	Technical rules: Part-SPO Operator rules: Part-ORO
		With Ot-CMPA	Technical rules: Part-NCO

Part-SPA (specific approvals) applies to all types of operations, as the case may be.

CMPA = complex motor-powered aircraft

Ot-CMPA = other-than complex motor-powered aircraft
