The European Aviation Safety Agency, EASA, is coming up with regulatory changes for non-commerical operators. AIR OPS Annex VI Part-NCC obliges non-commercial operators of complex motor-powered aircraft to fulfill new legal requirements effective August 25, 2016.
In this presentation you will receive explanation on the necessary changes and the consequences for NCC operators: when talking about EASA regulations it might be difficult to read between the lines. I like to introduce you the regulatory background quickly before transferring those facts into the consequences, you as an NCC operator can expect from those regulatory changes.
Jeppesen and TRS Aviation Consulting have a great, joint experience in dealing with regulatory aspects and we like to show you solutions we can offer as well as what kind of processes and time periods can be estimated. Finally we take a look beyond our noses to see what additional services could be helpful for you.
