EASA Remit

• Its Remit
• Currently the Regulation 1592/2002 establishes
  Community competency only for the regulation of
  the airworthiness and environmental compatibility
  of products
• Work is being done to extend the scope of this
  regulation to air operations and flight crew
  licensing
• Ultimately it could also cover the safety
  regulation of airport operations and later to air
  traffic control services

• Development of a revised EASA General rulemaking
  template including
• Set-up of rulemaking group MDM.032 to develop

  non-commercial operations
• Work is underway to implement an Orphan Aircraft
  Policy

  non-complex motor-powered aircraft (mainly
  general aviation and recreational activities)
• Light implementing rules based on JAR-OPS 0 shall
