We know that:

Let’s all do our best to achieve smoothest
implementation !

Current rules
Airworthiness Certificates
EASA has only three airworthiness
certificates:
(normal) Certificate of Airworthiness
only if normal C of A is
not appropriate / not possible:
Restricted Certificate of Airworthiness
Permit to Fly

Current rules (contd.)
Restricted C of A
Normal case:
based on a Restricted TC:
(normal) TC is not appropriate (deviate from
CS)
agricultural,;
fire prevention and suppression;
aerial surveying,;
patrolling;
weather control,;
aerial advertising,;
wildlife conservation; and
other special purpose
Exception:
Not based on Restricted TC

Restricted C of A
Other requirements same as for
normal C of A
(maintenance, spare parts, etc)

New rule development (Ctd)
What if new rule was not established
Old 21A.185 would be fully applicable
All PtF require Agency involvement
No possibility for privileges to
organisations
No detailed requirements available

Permit to Fly: the new rules
Some important principles:
Different types of PtF all covered by one rule
shared responsibility: Agency – NAA
Old national PtF grandfathered
Applicable to EU registered aircraft
Valid in all member states
Privileges for DOA and POA
Maintenance rules in flight conditions
Separate Subpart P: Permit to Fly

Different types of PtF all in
one rule
Complicating factor for drafting
Existing (R) C of A temporarily invalid
unapproved change
Unrepaired damage
(long) due maintenance
Pre C of A
TC not yet issued
(Production) Flight testing
C of A or Restricted C of A not appropriate or
not possible
Air racing / record breaking
Some orphan aircraft

Shared responsibility Agency-NAA
Complicating factor for drafting:
shared responsibility: Agency – NAA
Agency:
 All design issues
NAA:
 Conformity (production)
 C of A issuance and oversight
 Permit to Fly issuance
 Implementation of maintenance rules
Permit to Fly: often deviation from
approved design: Agency involvement

PtF Grandfathering
Principle:
All PtF or other certificate
grandfathered until first expiry date
or 28-3-08 maximum
For “permanent” PtF: flight
conditions are grandfathered
indefinitely (until need for change),
unless Agency determines insufficient
level of safety
(Reg 1702/2003 art. 2.e)

PtF applicability
PtF rules applicable only to
aircraft registered in EU; or
Unregistered when identification
marking prescribed by MS
(Reg 1702/2003 art. 2.2)
Result: new rules do not cover
validation of foreign PtF

PtF validity
PtF issued in accordance with new
rules are valid in all Member States:
No additional national
conditions/limitations for domains
covered by the approved flight
conditions
Holder must comply with other local
operational rules outside scope of PtF
National rules should not obstruct
free circulation

DOA/POA privileges
DOA (possible) privileges:
Approve flight conditions for all PtF
except 21A.701(a)(15)
Issue PtF when configuration controlled
by DOA
POA (possible) privileges:
Approve flight conditions and issue PtF
for aircraft it produced when design is
approved
In previous draft: privilege for CAMO:
this will be subject of new NPA

Maintenance rules for PtF
According to 2042/2003 art. 3.3
aircraft under PtF are exempted from
Part M
In stead: maintenance rules are
defined in the flight conditions
In most cases they can refer to
Part M

Separate Subpart P
Initial drafts were amendments to
Subpart H (airworthiness certificates)
Due to complexity decided to create
new subpart
As a consequence all references to
PtF are deleted from subpart H
