GM2 ORO.GEN.310 Use of aircraft
listed on an AOC for non-commercial operations and specialised operations
ED
Decision 2019/019/R
SPECIFIC APPROVALS
(a) Specific approvals (SPA) of the AOC
holder using its aircraft for non-commercial operations and specialised
operations
(1) When the AOC holder performs operations in
accordance with Part-NCC or Part-NCO, the SPA granted for the AOC extend over
these operations, as in such cases the provisions of ORO.AOC.125 apply.
(2) When the AOC holder performs operations in
accordance with Part-SPO, as a declared operator, either:
(i) the SPA applicable to its SPO activities
for the same aircraft are already granted within its AOC. In this case, the
operator does not need to apply for them again; or
(ii) the SPA applicable to its SPO activities
for the same aircraft are partially different from the SPA already granted
within its AOC. In this case, the specific approval will cover all the
different aspects involved in SPO operation or training of relevant personnel;
or
(iii) the SPA are not granted within its AOC. In
this case, the operator applies for the relevant SPA to its competent
authority, in accordance with Part-SPA. This means that all the elements
required for a SPA will be provided to the competent authority: evidence of
the relevant airworthiness approval, specific equipment approval, operational
procedures, and training programme specific for each of the SPA applied for.
(b) SPA of any other operator, regardless
of whether it also holds an AOC, using the aircraft as a declared operator or
as a(n) ATO/DTO
The declared
operator performing NCC operations or SPO or the ATO/DTO has to comply with
Part-SPA and apply for the SPA required for the type of operation it intends
to conduct with that aircraft.
MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST (MEL)
The operator
that uses the aircraft listed on the AOC of another operator is still
responsible for obtaining the approval of the MEL for its own operations, to
cover all the aircraft that it operates.
AOC holders using aircraft for non-commercial or specialized operations may leverage existing approvals. New approvals are needed for significantly different specialized operations. Other operators using AOC aircraft must obtain specific approvals for their operations and maintain their own Minimum Equipment List (MEL) approval.
