ED Decision 2014/025/R
VERIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE
(a) For the purpose of verifying the operator’s standard operating procedures (SOPs), the competent authority may conduct an audit at the operator’s facilities or require the conduct of one or more demonstration flights operated as if they were high risk commercial specialised operations.
(b) An individual should be nominated by the competent authority to become the focal point for all aspects of the authorisation process and to coordinate all necessary activity. This nominated person should confirm to the responsible person of the competent authority issuing the authorisation that all appropriate audits and inspections have been carried out.
(c) When the verification process is complete, the person, nominated in accordance with (b), should present the application to the person responsible for the issuance of an authorisation together with a written recommendation and evidence of the result of the review of the operator’s risk assessment documentation and SOPs, which is required before the authorisation is issued. The competent authority should inform the applicant of its decision concerning the application. In cases where an application for an authorisation is refused, the applicant should be informed of the right of appeal as exists under national law.
