Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/445
of 17 March 2015
amending Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 as regards technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC(1), and in particular Articles 7(6) and 8(5),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011(2) lays down the technical and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew.
(2) Some Member States have found that certain requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 place an undue and disproportionate administrative or economic burden on themselves or on stakeholders and have notified their intention to grant approval for derogations from certain requirements in accordance with Article 14(6) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.
(3) Those proposed approvals for derogations have been analysed by the European Aviation Safety Agency, which has resulted in a recommendation to the Commission on the compliance of the proposed approvals with the applicable conditions.
(4) Member States and general aviation stakeholders have also identified certain requirements which are considered disproportionate to the activities involved and the associated risks.
(5) A number of editorial errors leading to unintended implementation difficulties have also been identified in Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011.
(6) Therefore, the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 should be amended in order to introduce the derogations that have a clear rulemaking effect, to introduce certain alleviations for general aviation and to correct certain editorial errors.
(7) In addition, on the basis of feedback from Member States and stakeholders it has been found that the requirements of Annex VII of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 may be disproportionate to the activity and associated risk of training organisations providing training only for the light aircraft pilot licence, private pilot licence, balloon pilot licence and sailplane pilot licence.
(8) Member States and stakeholders agree that there is therefore a general need to allow more time to develop a more appropriate set of rules for general aviation activities which are better suited to the activities of this aviation sector without reducing safety standards.
(9) Moreover, to allow the necessary time to develop those rules, the date of application of the provisions of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 for training organisations providing training only for national licences that are eligible for conversion into Part-FCL light aircraft pilot licences, balloon pilot licences and sailplane pilot licences should be postponed to 8 April 2018.
(10) Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) As Commission Regulation (EU) No 290/2012(3), which amends Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, contains an autonomous provision on the date of application of the provisions of Annexes VI and VII to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, it should also be amended in order to ensure legal certainty and clarity.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the European Aviation Safety Agency Committee established by Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
(2)
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 of 3 November 2011 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 311, 25.11.2011, p. 1).
(3)
Commission Regulation (EU) No 290/2012 of 30 March 2012 amending Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council) (OJ L 100, 5.4.2012, p. 1).
