Regulation (EU) 2018/395
(a) The operator shall establish, implement and maintain a management system that includes all of the following:
(1) clearly defined lines of responsibility and accountability throughout the organisation of the operator, including a direct safety accountability of the accountable manager;
(2) a description of the overall philosophies and principles of the operator with regard to safety, which shall be known as the safety policy;
(3) the identification of aviation safety hazards entailed by the activities of the operator, the evaluation of those hazards and the management of associated risks, including by taking actions to mitigate those risks where necessary and verifying the effectiveness of those actions;
(4) maintaining personnel trained and competent to perform their tasks;
(5) documentation of all key processes of the management system, including a process for making personnel aware of their responsibilities and the procedure for amending that documentation;
(6) a function to monitor compliance of the operator with the requirements of this Annex. Such compliance monitoring shall include a feedback system of findings to the accountable manager of the operator to ensure effective implementation of corrective actions as necessary;
(7) the processes necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of Articles 4, 5, 6 and 13 of Regulation (EU) No 376/2014.
(b) The management system shall correspond to the size of the operator and the nature and complexity of its activities, taking into account the hazards and associated risks of those activities.
Balloon operators must implement a comprehensive management system. This system defines responsibilities, establishes a safety policy, manages aviation safety hazards and risks, ensures personnel competence, documents key processes, monitors regulatory compliance, and adheres to incident reporting rules. The system's complexity should match the operator's size and activities.
