AMC1 ORO.AOC.125(a)(2) Non-commercial operations of an
AOC holder with aircraft listed on its AOC
ED Decision
2019/019/R
DIFFERENT
OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR NON-COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
When
developing operating procedures for non-commercial operations that are
different from the ones used for its CAT operations, the AOC holder should
identify the hazards and assess and mitigate the risks associated with each
specific non-commercial operation, as part of the safety risk management
process in compliance with ORO.GEN.200.
This process
should consider at least the following elements:
(a) Flight profile (including manoeuvres to be
performed, any simulated abnormal situations in flight, duties and
responsibilities of the crew members);
(b) Continuing airworthiness, as applicable.
This includes the case when the aircraft is returned to the AOC holder after
having been used by another operator for operations in accordance with ORO.GEN.310;
(c) Levels of functional equipment and
systems (MEL, CDL);
(d) Operating procedures, minima, and dispatch
criteria;
(e) Operating a flight with a double purpose
(e.g. a relocation flight used as a line training flight or a maintenance
check flight used as a line training flight);
(f) Specific approvals held by the AOC
holder;
(g) Flight and duty time limitations and rest
requirements and cumulative fatigue;
(h) Selection, composition, and training of
flight crew and cabin crew;
(i) Multi-pilot operation as per Part-CAT vs
single-pilot operation when operating according to Part-NCC or Part-NCO;
(j) Flights performed with aircrew that
includes aircrew members of another operator, who have not completed a
familiarisation training and who may not be familiar with the AOC holder’s
operational procedures;
(k) Categories of passengers on board,
including when non-commercial operations are performed with no cabin crew.
AOC holders performing non-commercial flights must manage safety risks. Operating procedures differing from commercial air transport require hazard identification, risk assessment, and mitigation. Key considerations include flight profile, airworthiness, equipment levels, procedures, dual-purpose flights, approvals, crew limitations, training, pilot operations, unfamiliar crew, and passenger categories.
