Continuous Monitoring of Member States

Standardisation state-of-play Current EASA practice is well accepted Recurring inspections in all technical domains Positive feedback Recognised strengths: Well structured process Technical expertise Ability to listen and explain Flexible planning However: Results are not uniform – large differences May to Nov September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

Challenges More risk, performance based and systemic approach Better task supervising Coordination and exchange of information across domains Decreasing resources but more tasks More risk, performance based and systemic approach Perception Resource Control Cross-domain harmonisation September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

Continuous Monitoring Approach COLLECT INFORMATION ANALYSE AND PRIORITISE THE MODEL Web-based interface (Multi)annual Programme Continuous Monitoring Report FOLLOW-UP ACT AS APPROPRIATE Comprehensive inspection Focused inspection Ad hoc inspection Offsite finding INSPECTING September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

Objectives CMA Fully develop the Continuous Monitoring Approach Support Inspections Monitoring Fully develop the Continuous Monitoring Approach Maximise the benefit of each inspection Provide implementation support to Authorities September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

Rulemaking

Regulation (EU) 2018/1142, adopted on 14 August 2018 Recent Achievements Regulation (EU) 2018/1142, adopted on 14 August 2018 Main expected benefits Simplified and proportionate maintenance licensing system for the more simple aircraft Mitigation of the risk to have licence holders without the required basic knowledge due to fraud It introduces New Part-66 licences: L licence applicable to general aviation and B2L licence applicable to avionics and electrical systems of aircraft other than complex Limitation of the examination privileges of Part-147 training organisations September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

The new Licences B2L aircraft maintenance licence Based on “system ratings” Progressive, eventually leading to a full B2 (if so wished) Applicability: 5 March 2019 L aircraft maintenance licence For sailplanes, powered-sailplanes, balloons, airships and ELA1 No training required Examination by NAA, Part-147 or anywhere agreed with NAA National licences privileges will be maintained by conversion Applicability: 1 Oct 2019 (obligation for NAAs to issue) 1 Oct 2020 (obligation to have it) September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress 17 17

On-going activities In Comitology Process Scheduled Agency Opinions General Aviation Phase II (Opinion 05/2016) SMS in Part CAMO (Opinion 06/2016) Technical Records (Opinion 13/2016) Scheduled Agency Opinions SMS in Part 145 and Part 21 Organisations (RMT.0251) Instruction for Continuing Airworthiness (RMT.0252) Parts without Form 1 (RMT.0018) B1 & B2 Support staff (RMT.0097) September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress 18 18

B1 & B2 Support Staff (RMT.0097) Why To clarify the qualification, authorisation process, roles and responsibilities of maintenance personnel CAW Reg AMC/GM ToR NPA Opinion IR What Amendments to the IR/AMC/GM applicable for line and base maintenance with: - Categories of maintenance staff: certifying staff (CS), support staff (SS), sign-off staff (SO) - Their qualifications, responsibilities and privileges - The level of supervision required before issuing a CRS 2011 2014-11 2019 ? Controversial issues The level of involvement in the supervision by CS/SS during the maintenance, allocation of tasks by the CS in line maintenance and training requirements for SO Decision September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

EASA Policy on CRS Agency position: Due to the long process of the rulemaking task, a Policy on Certificates of Release to Service (CRS) for aircraft maintenance was issued in Dec 2015 to clarify the intent of the applicable requirements Agency position: The certifying staff assesses the complexity of each task to ensure it has been assigned to a proper personnel, support them and coordinate the different tasks Decide the level of involvement Before signing, verification that the job has been performed to the right standard September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

Related Standardisation activities The Agency has identified some non-conformities while performing Standardisation activities The correction of the non-conformities follow certain process (Regulation (EU) 628/2013) The Agency works with the identified competent authorities to close those non-conformities Current discussion is constructive and evolving in the right direction September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

New Initiatives Evaluation report on the EASA maintenance licensing system, February 2018 Strong EU added value and robust system Some problems identified, e.g.: OJT, update to technological evolution, legacy aircraft, duplication of efforts High impact on the credibility of the maintenance training system due to fraud cases in Part-147 Next actions: RMT for Part-66. Exact scope under consultation with PIA Additional measures: Workshop(s), implementation support to MSs September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

Significant changes are expected New priorities New challenges require re-prioritisation of available resources The Agency will focus on areas such as: Need to review the current rulemaking programme Significant changes are expected New Basic Regulation Implementation support & Safety Promotion Drones Cybersecurity Emerging technologies Digital Transformation International co-operation September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress

Recent Communication to MAP & SAP In line with stakeholder expectations to „cool-down“ rulemaking the on-going attempt to better align the number of Agency Opinions with the capacity of the EU regulatory adoption process efforts to look at alternative measures to tackle safety and efficiency issues the need to free resources for new priorities the Agency re-prioritised its current rulemaking activities Immediate effect: All Opinions scheduled for 2018 are put on hold Re-planning of the Opinion output for the period 2019- 2021 September 2018 AEI 46th Annual Congress
