GM1 ORO.AOC.125(a)(2) Non-commercial
operations of an AOC holder with aircraft listed on an AOC
ED Decision 2019/019/R
EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT OPERATING PROCEDURES APPLIED TO NON-COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
The provisions of ORO.AOC.125 enable an AOC holder to apply the most appropriate requirements when conducting non-commercial operations, based on the risk assessment and risk mitigation processes.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of elements that an AOC holder may identify and describe as being different in its non-commercial operations from those used for its CAT operation and for which the provisions of Part-ORO and Part-NCC or the provisions of Part-NCO should apply as appropriate:
(a) Qualification, training and experience of aircrew members, including aerodrome and route competence requirements.
(b) Flight crew and cabin crew composition requirements
(1) CAT operations contain more stringent requirements for aircrew members, e.g. multi-pilot vs single-pilot requirements.
(2) The AOC holder should specify the minimum number of flight crew and cabin crew and the applicable aircrew composition.
(c) Fuel requirements
(d) Performance requirements
(e) Serviceable instruments, data and equipment and MEL considerations
(f) Non-ETOPS/ETOPS
ETOPS are applicable to CAT operations only and thus a flight operated according to Part-NCC/Part-NCO may be performed without the ETOPS restrictions.
(g) Non-commercial flights with no cabin crew (see ORO.CC.100(d) and the associated AMC).
AOC holders can tailor operational procedures for non-commercial flights using their certified aircraft. This allows for adjusted aircrew qualifications, composition, fuel, performance, equipment, and ETOPS requirements based on risk assessments. This flexibility enables compliance with less stringent regulations like those applicable to non-commercial operations.
