NCO.GEN.104
Use of aircraft included in an AOC by an NCO operator
Regulation
(EU) 2019/1384
(a) An NCO operator may use other than complex motor-powered aircraft listed on an operator's AOC to conduct non-commercial operations in accordance with this Annex.
(b) The NCO operator using the aircraft in accordance with point (a) shall establish a procedure:
(1) clearly describing how operational control
of the aircraft is transferred between the AOC holder and the NCO operator, as
referred to in point ORO.GEN.310 of Annex III;
(2) describing the handover procedure of the
aircraft upon its return to the AOC holder.
That procedure shall be included in
a contract between the AOC holder and the NCO operator.
The NCO operator shall ensure that
the procedure is communicated to the relevant personnel.
(c) The continuing airworthiness of the aircraft used pursuant to point (a) shall be managed by organisation responsible for the continuing airworthiness for the aircraft included in the AOC, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014.
(d) The NCO operator using the aircraft in accordance with point (a) shall ensure the following:
(1) that every flight conducted under its
operational control is recorded in the aircraft technical log system;
(2) that no changes to the aircraft systems or
configuration are made;
(3) that any defect or technical malfunction
occurring while the aircraft is under its operational control is reported to
the organisation referred to in point (c) immediately after the flight;
(4) that the AOC holder receives a copy of any occurrence report related to the flights performed with the aircraft, completed in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 and Regulation (EU) 2015/1018.
Non-commercial operators can use AOC-listed, non-complex aircraft, establishing a procedure with the AOC holder for operational control transfer and aircraft handover. Continuing airworthiness remains with the AOC holder's organization. The operator must record flights, report defects, avoid modifications, and share occurrence reports.
