GM1 ADR.AR.A.040(b) Safety directives ED Decision 2020/021/R FORWARDING OF SAFETY DIRECTIVES The safety directives that are forwarded to the Agency under [ADR.AR.A.040](#_DxCrossRefBm151829825) include but are not limited to cases like the following ones, where the Competent Authority has determined that: (a) it is necessary to include additional certification specifications in the certification basis of an aerodrome; (b) the aerodrome equipment has presented unusual, or frequent, or otherwise unjustified malfunctions or failures; (c) the certification specifications established by the Agency are such that under given conditions additional action is required to be undertaken in order to maintain the level of safety; (d) there is immediate need to take certain action in order to respond to a safety recommendation or following an accident or serious incident; or (e) this or a similar unsafe condition may be present at other aerodromes of the same Member State. Member States’ Competent Authorities may issue directives (which may be called ‘operational directives’ or otherwise) during their oversight activities, such as the instruction to the aerodrome operator or to the organisation responsible for the provision of AMS to abstain from a certain activity, or a positive action (e.g. cutting of trees which are found to penetrate the OLS, or the removal of certain objects from the aerodrome, etc.) needed to maintain the level of safety. Such directives are not to be forwarded to the Agency.
