GM1 ORO.GEN.315(c)(3) Operational procedures for ground handling

ED Decision 2025/008/R

USE OF OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES OF THE GROUND HANDLING ORGANISATION

The following are non-exhaustive examples of cases in which the operator is unable to provide its operational procedures for ground handling to the ground handling organisation, while still being compliant with the requirements of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/24 amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012:

(a) when the operator is an NCO operator, as it is not mandatory for NCO operators to have operational procedures for ground handling;

(b) when landing takes place at an alternate aerodrome, where the ground handling service provider does not have the operator’s operational procedures for the provision of ground handling services;

(c) when an emergency landing takes place at any aerodrome that is not included among the operator’s regular or alternate aerodromes of operation;

(d) when there is a change in the operational flight plan during flight, as may often be the case for non-commercial operators.
