The EASA issued a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) containing changes to airworthiness certification rules that the European organization said would "provide clearer requirements/guidance on those aspects creating interpretation/standardization problems; remove those requirements that do not bring any safety benefits; facilitate the transfer of aircraft between member states; and reinforce the oversight role of the national aviation authorities."
Feedback obtained by the EASA through activities such as standardization visits to the member states, questions from national aviation authorities and the results of a survey of stakeholders related to interpretation of the rules led it to issue the NPA. The agency said it coordinated the proposals included in this NPA with general aviation interests to keep the proposals "in line with the objective of providing proportionate and cost-efficient rules for general aviation while maintaining an acceptable level of safety."
Comments on the proposal are due Feb, 5, 2016.
