France implemented its State Safety Programme (PSE) ten years ago at the initiative of the DCS, now known as the DSAC. The experience gained since has given France recognised legitimacy in this fi eld and incited our country to volunteer for a test audit of the implementation of Appendix 19 of the Chicago Convention, which had two goals: to ensure that the French State Safety Programme complies with international standards and to enable the ICAO to fi ne-tune its methods used to audit the implementation of Appendix 19. The teams from the ICAO spent a week in France in March concretely assessing the di erent component parts of the French State Safety Programme (formal defi nition of the organisation, collection and processing of safety events, production of reports by the French Accident Investigation O ce (BEA)). The audit report confi rmed the e ective implementation of the PSE, with a very high degree of responsiveness, the proper adoption of the principles of the PSE and the excellent degree of consideration of safety

EUROPE Further work to simplify European regulations for general aviation Even if no European regulations on the simpliﬁ cation of general aviation were published in 2017, it should be noted that the EASA AND SAFETY Committee passed two texts that are important for France. In June 03 2017, the draft speciﬁ c regulation on aviation operations in balloons was passed. This regulation will allow for commercial transport operations without a certificate, but subject to the European REGULATIONS declaration. The draft text on Declared Training Organisations (DTOs) was also passed in October 2017. The DSAC also continued its lobbying activities in numerous areas, and aircrews in particular.

The DSAC plays an essential role in the guidelines and regulatory developments of the fi eld of air safety at national, Air shows European and international levels. This action is organised by the technical department for European cooperation and The DSAC started to revise the decree dated 4 April 1996 on air shows with a view to improving the safety of such events. Further regulations on safety (DSAC/ERS). to the proposals made by a task group of experts and meetings with the participants in air shows and foreign authorities, the DSAC produced specifi cations that will form a draft bill.

Also, on the national, European and international levels, the new domains corresponding to commercial suborbital fl ights and UAVs required intensive focus of our resources. Within a task group from the COSPACE inter-ministerial council, the DSAC coordinated the development of a strategy in the suborbital domain, at the frontier between aviation and space. On the UAVs front, the DSAC also took part in numerous task groups to establish an international regulation, following the passing of the law on UAVs in October 2016 and the discussions on projects for European and international regulations, which should be properly adapted to our national situation.

AIRCRAFT AND AVIATION OPERATIONS Publication of EU regulation 2017/363 “SET-IMC” EU regulation 2017/363 of 1 March 2017 was the only European regulation published in 2017 in the ﬁ eld of aircraft and aviation operations. Consequently, the regulations now permit commercial aviation transport operations in single-turbine aeroplanes, at night or by instruments, provided that special approval is obtained (SPA). Approval is given once the reliability of the turbine has been demonstrated, speciﬁ c instructions for maintenance have been included, rules have been established for the personnel and operational procedures, and a risk analysis has been completed.

These constant e orts saw the publication of the decree dated 25 October 2017 This decree revises the decree dated 24 July 1991 pertaining to the conditions of use of civil aircraft in general aviation, the decree dated 12 May 1997 pertaining to the technical conditions for the operation of aircraft by a public air transport company (OPS 1) and the decree dated 23 April 2004 pertaining to various provisions applying to public air transport by helicopter (OPS 3R).

CIVIL AVIATION PERSONNEL European DTO training for fl ying clubs EASA’s work on the establishment of regulations covering training for recreational pilot licences outside approved training organisations led to the publication of Opinion 11-2016 on 7 September 2016. After numerous discussions in which the DSAC played a very active role, in October 2017, the EASA Committee approved this text. Consequently, training will take place in a system of Declared Training Organisations (DTO), without any formal approval of the organisations, but under AIRPORT SAFETY a number of required conditions, in particular with regard to the training programmes and safety management. Participation in the development of ICAO Implementation of a regulatory framework and European regulation standards and adapted to the training of professional recommended practices remote pilots of UAVs On the international front, the DSAC actively took part, either alone or with the STAC, in the working groups set up by the ICAO to update The law n°2016-1728 dated 24 October 2016 strengthening the safe international standards and recommendations in the domain of use of civil UAVs requires regulatory measures in order to apply the aerodromes. It includes for example, the fi rst meeting in May 2017 various provisions of the law, including in particular the requirement of a new body, the Aerodrome Operations Working Group (AOWG) for the training of “professional” remote pilots of UAVs. which reports to the ICAO’s panel of aerodrome experts.

AIRWORTHINESS Changes in French airlines 2017 saw the creation of the airline JOON and numerous ﬂ eet lists of new types of airplanes and rotorcraft. The DSAC opted to pool resources and skills in order to best meet the demands made by AND AIR operators. In 2017, several airlines obtained the approvals required for the 05 operation of aircraft with single-turbine engine under IMC ﬂ ight OPERATIONS conditions.

The “Airworthiness and Operations” (DSAC/NO) technical department is responsible for developing, implementing and managing safety policy in terms of: Airworthiness • technical approvals and oversight of air transport companies, aerial work companies, operators involved in the In the field of airworthiness, the DSAC/NO contributed to the operation of aircraft in general aviation, and professional operators of remotely controlled aircraft (UAV : unmaned regulatory and technical work needed to launch the FFA project for the use of light aircraft powered by an electric engine.

Regulatory transition for specialised operations (SPO) The regulatory transition regarding specialised operations (SPO) took place in April 2017, and involved approximately 180 operators. The DSAC facilitated this transition by distributing guides and o ering explanatory seminars and exchanges about the regulatory requirements. UAVs (unmanned aircraft vehicule) The MEDRANO computer application and the “Mon Espace Drone” web site designed to simplify the formalities for UAV operators came into service in August 2017. The use of this tool by private drone users will continue to grow in 2018.

Cooperation with the European Aviation Safety Agency In coordination with the DGA and OSAC, the DSAC took part in the negotiations to establish a partnership agreement between EASA and national authorities, covering the conditions applying to the outsourcing to European authorities of certain certiﬁ cation tasks assigned to the EASA. This partnership agreement will replace from 1st January 2018 the service contract in force since 2012. The overall volume of activity of this partnership is about 28,000 hours per year.

AIRPORTS Continuous oversight with the European regulation was presented at the Aerodrome Safety seminar organised by the DSAC on 8 December 2017 with the aerodrome operators. Moreover, the experience gained in the implementation of the European requirements can be used to identify the need for a number of AND AIR regulatory changes, in particular with regard to the convergence 06 from national regulations towards the European regulation. This work will continue in 2018. The consideration of ongoing changes to the European provisions is a major challenge in the adaptation to NAVIGATION the changes, for both draft modiﬁ cations, which must be anticipated as early as possible, and for changes introduced in the course of the year.

The DSAC is working on updating the noise exposure plans (PEB) around airports. Today, more than 200 aerodromes have a noise DEVELOPMENT exposure plan or are currently creating or revising one. It should be noted that most of the current ﬁ les are a ected by the recent decree n° 2012-1470, passed on 26 December 2012, which takes better account of airfields with lower or less scheduled traffic than Monitoring the enforcement of the environmental rules by all the air operators is one of the actions taken by the inter- previously, such as general aviation aerodromes. regional divisions of the DSAC in coordination with the Air Transport division (DTA), and with the management of the air navigation services (DSNA), where necessary.

(those relating to failure to comply with night-fl ight restrictions or aircraft noise performance). In 2017, the DSAC passed on 462 reports for non-compliance with environmental restriction orders to ACNUSA, compared to 357 in 2016. As well as handling these breaches, the DGAC is also continuing its preventive actions with operators in a drive to further cut the number of violations.

Close to aerodromes, or around air navigation facilities, the DSAC/ IRs seek sometimes innovative solutions in order to reconcile local development issues with aviation safety, and are called upon to express an opinion in many consultation processes. Some of the most complex dossiers include projects for installing wind farms near VORs or radars or high-rise building projects. In most of the regions, SNIA (the national aeronautical engineering service) already constitutes the single entry point for all DGAC urban planning requests.
