GENERAL
The intent of the declaration is to:
(a) have the operator acknowledge its responsibilities under the applicable safety regulations and that it holds all necessary approvals;
(b) inform the competent authority of the existence of an operator; and
(c) enable the competent authority to fulfil its oversight responsibilities in accordance with ARO.GEN.300 and 305.
When the non-commercial operation of a complex motor-powered aircraft is managed by a third party on behalf of the owner, that party may be the operator in the sense of Article 3(h) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, and therefore has to declare its capability and means to discharge the responsibilities associated with the operation of the aircraft to the competent authority.
In such a case, it should also be assessed whether the third party operator undertakes a commercial operation in the sense of Article 3(i) of Regulation (EC) 216/2008.
