3.8        To whom should organisations report occurrences?

GM to Reg. (EU) No 376/2014 and its IRs

Key principle

Organisations are required to report occurrences to their competent authority.

In most cases, the competent authority is the one which has certified or approved the organisation.

Examples:

Design organisations approved by EASA: EASA is the competent authority.

Air operators certified by a Member State: that Member State is the competent authority.

In a situation where an organisation has two AOC under two different States (State A and B), it shall report occurrences involving aircraft operating under the State A AOC to State A competent authority and occurrences involving aircraft operating under the State B AOC to State B competent authority.

For organisations which are not certified or approved, the competent authority is the State in which the organisation is established.

Example:

A ground handling organisation reports its occurrences under Regulation 376/2014 to the State in which it is established.
