ED Decision 2023/013/R

REPORTING TO THE COMPETENT AUTHORITY — GENERAL

(a) The reference to ‘aware of’ an occurrence implies that the organisation identifies the event as one that falls into the category of occurrences to be reported — usually when the organisation determines that the event is reportable. The 72‑hour period starts when the possible unsafe condition is identified.

(b) Regulation (EU) 2015/1018 lays down a generic ‘list classifying occurrence in civil aviation to be mandatorily reported’. This list should not be understood as being an exhaustive collection of all issues that may pose a significant risk to aviation safety and, therefore, reporting should not be limited to the items listed in that Regulation.

(c) AMC‑20 ‘General Acceptable Means of Compliance for Airworthiness of Products, Parts and Appliances’ provides further details on occurrence reporting (AMC 20‑8).

(d) Point 21L.A.3(a)(3) requires the reporting of occurrences that may result in an unsafe condition. AMC1 21L.B.23(b) may be used to assist in the determination of an unsafe condition.
