NPA 2018-13 Table of Contents European Aviation Safety Agency Notice of Proposed Amendment 2018-13 Appendix I to AMC to Annex III (Part-66) Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licences RMT.0541 (66.024) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addresses a regulatory coordination issue related to aircraft type ratings. According to the AMC to Annex III (Part-66), type ratings should be endorsed on an aircraft maintenance licence (AML) in accordance with Appendix I to AMC to Part-66 ‘List of type ratings’. An NPA is issued regularly to amend this list, after assessing feedback received from the industry, and to add new aircraft types or to remove aircraft types whose type certificate (TC) has been revoked or surrendered. This NPA adds also the tables of the new Group as a consequence of the introduction of the ‘L’ licence subcategories by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/1142. The main objective is to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. Action area: Regular updates/review of rules Affected rules: AMC/GM to Annex III (Part-66) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 Affected stakeholders: Maintenance certifying staff; maintenance training organisations; maintenance organisations; competent authorities Driver: Efficiency/proportionality Rulemaking group: No Impact assessment: None Rulemaking Procedure: Standard 12.5.2009 5.12.2018 2019/Q2 TE.RPRO.00034-008 © European Aviation Safety Agency.

Page 2 of 186 An agency of the European Union European Aviation Safety Agency NPA 2018-13 1. About this NPA 1. About this NPA 1.1. How this NPA was developed The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) developed this NPA in line with Regulation (EU) 2018/11391 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Basic Regulation’) and the Rulemaking Procedure2. This rulemaking activity is included in the European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS)3 under rulemaking task RMT.0541 (66.024). The text of this NPA has been developed by EASA based on recommendations provided by the industry and type certificate lists produced by the EASA’s Certification Directorate. It is hereby submitted to all interested parties4 for consultation. 1.2. How to comment on this NPA Please submit your comments using the automated Comment-Response Tool (CRT) available at http://hub.easa.europa.eu/crt/5. The deadline for submission of comments is 5 March 2019. 1.3. The next steps Following the closing of the public commenting period, EASA will review all comments. Based on the comments received, EASA will develop a decision that amends Appendix I ‘Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licences’ to the Annex ‘Acceptable Means of Compliance to Part-66’ to Decision 2017/016/RM of the Executive Director of the Agency of 1 June 20176. The comments received and the EASA responses to them will be reflected in a comment-response document (CRD). The CRD will be appended to the decision. 1 Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (OJ L 212, 22.8.2018, p. 1) (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1535612134845&uri =CELEX:32018R1139). 2 EASA is bound to follow a structured rulemaking process as required by Article 115(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. Such a process has been adopted by the EASA Management Board (MB) and is referred to as the ‘Rulemaking Procedure’. See MB Decision No 18-2015 of 15 December 2015 replacing Decision 01/2012 concerning the procedure to be applied by EASA for the issuing of opinions, certification specifications and guidance material (http://www.easa.europa.eu/the-agency/management-board/decisions/easa- mb-decision-18-2015-rulemaking-procedure). 3 http://easa.europa.eu/rulemaking/annual-programme-and-planning.php 4 In accordance with Article 115 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, and Articles 6(3) and 7 of the Rulemaking Procedure. 5 In case of technical problems, please contact the CRT webmaster ([email protected]). 6 Executive Director Decision 2017/016/R of 1 June 2017 amending the Appendix I to Acceptable Means of Compliance to Part-66 of Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 — Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licences (AMC/GM to Part-66 — Issue 2, Amendment 2) (https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/agency-decisions/ed-decision-2017016r).

In summary — why and what 2.1. Why we need to change the rules — issue/rationale The purpose of this NPA is to update Appendix I ‘Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licences’ to the Annex ‘Acceptable Means of Compliance to Part-66’ to Decision 2017/016/RM of the Executive Director of the Agency of 1 June 2017. 2.2. What we want to achieve — objectives The overall objectives of the EASA system are defined in Article 1 of the Basic Regulation. The specific objective of this proposal is to compile a list of aircraft type ratings (aircraft/engine combinations) to promote a common standard throughout the Member States. This requires frequent amendments of Appendix I to keep it up to date. 2.3. How we want to achieve it — overview of the proposals This NPA introduces: — updates of the type rating lists due to the addition of new models (up to end of October 2018) or deletion of old models that review the current EASA Products type certificate/supplemental type certificate (TC/STC) lists; — a new table for Group 1 Gas Airships other than ELA2; — new tables for Group 4 aircraft; — corrections of type certificate holder/supplemental type certificate holder (TCH/STCH) names, models, commercial designations and type ratings according to the content of the related type certificate data sheet/supplemental type certificate data sheet (TCDS/STCDS); — changes in the content of ‘Notes’ (e.g. insertion of the operational suitability data (OSD) approval dates, STC references, ELA1/ELA2 info for aeroplanes and Group 4 aircraft);

    Robust Gas Turbine and Airframe System Design in Light of Uncertain Fuel and CO2 Prices Stephan Langmaak1, James Scanlan2, and András Sóbester3 University of Southampton, Southampton, SO16 7QF, United Kingdom This paper presents a study that numerically investigated which cruise speed the next generation of short-haul aircraft with 150 seats should y at and whether a con- ventional two- or three-shaft turbofan, a geared turbofan, a turboprop, or an open rotor should be employed in order to make the aircraft's direct operating cost robust to uncertain fuel and carbon (CO2) prices in the Year 2030, taking the aircraft pro- ductivity, the passenger value of time, and the modal shift into account. To answer this question, an optimization loop was set up in MATLAB consisting of nine modules covering gas turbine and airframe design and performance, ight and aircraft eet sim- ulation, operating cost, and optimization. If the passenger value of time is included, the most robust aircraft design is powered by geared turbofan engines and cruises at Mach 0.80. If the value of time is ignored, however, then a turboprop aircraft ying at Mach 0.70 is the optimum solution. This demonstrates that the most fuel-ecient option, the open rotor, is not automatically the most cost-ecient solution because of the relatively high engine and airframe costs. 1 Research Engineer, Computational Engineering and Design 2 Professor of Aerospace Design, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 3 Associate Professor in Aircraft Engineering, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 1 I. Introduction A. Background IT takes around 5 years to develop a gas turbine engine, which then usually remains in pro- duction for more than two decades [1, 2].

The large size and im- personal nature of Farnborough and its ilk are the main spur for the niche air events – not always shows – including PAvCon, NBAA and Heli-Expo. Visitors are drawn to see displays covering nearly 3,500 square meters from hundreds of international companies housed under cover in a number of vast halls and chalets con- structed at great expense – others being left to the vagaries of the weather without cover or in their own tents and caravans. And this year the vagaries were decidedly nasty as Britain endured the worst summer in living memory. The poor weather clearly affected visitor num- bers early in the week. As the browned grass testifies, Farnborough 2010 was a far drier affair than this year. © Aviation-images.com via FI2012 Front Cover Image: The Bell 525 Relentless has ‘Oil Industry’ written all over it and it may never feature as an emergency services aircraft. That said it has features that could one day appear more widely—including the pilots seats.

  • Airbus A320-232, G-EUUI
    Airbus A320-232, G-EUUI AAIB Bulletin No: 11/2004 Ref: EW/C2003/11/04 Category: 1.1 INCIDENT Aircraft Type and Airbus A320-232, G-EUUI Registration: No & Type of Engines: 2 International Aero Engines (IAE) V2527-A5 turbofan engines Year of Manufacture: 2002 Date & Time (UTC): 29 November 2003 at 1955 hrs Location: Overhead Birmingham Type of Flight: Public Transport (Passenger) Persons on Board: Crew - 7 Passengers - 92 Injuries: Crew - None Passengers - None Nature of Damage: None Commander's Licence: Airline Transport Pilot's Licence Commander's Age: 39 years Commander's Flying 11,350 hours Experience: (of which 930 were on type) Last 90 days - 166 hours Last 28 days - 50 hours Information Source: AAIB Field Investigation Synopsis On a relatively clear evening, upon reaching the cruise level of Flight Level (FL) 280, the crew and passengers on a scheduled flight from London Heathrow to Edinburgh experienced momentary noise and vibration throughout the aircraft. This was repeated approximately one minute later. It was also reported that an orange flash, associated with the right engine, had been seen. The flight crew identified that No 2 engine had surged and recovered, with the engine indications returning to normal. The aircraft's Quick Reference Handbook, coupled with the training that the flight crew had received, provided them with inadequate guidance with which to fully assess the situation. Their initial intention to continue to Edinburgh was changed upon advice from the operator and the crew initiated a return to Heathrow. The engine then began to surge again and, once more, recovered, but this was followed by another series of surges.

  • Italia Occupata, Italia Commerciante Di Armi Letali Fabbriche D'armi in Italia
    titolo: Italia colonia, Italia commerciante di armi letali Italia occupata, Italia commerciante di armi letali Premessa Questo dossier è una ricognizione delle 114 basi militari USA e Nato in Italia, e delle 137 aziende produttrici di armi o servizi all’industria bellica. Dalle bombe a grappolo, ai missili, alle armi chimiche, ai droni, ai sofisticati sistemi di sorveglianza e supporto, l’Italia è un grande obiettivo di ritorsione in caso di guerra del terzo millennio. Si noti nelle brevi descrizioni delle aziende, ricavate dai siti delle stesse, l’estrema specializzazione raggiunta dell’”ingegno” italiano, degno di miglior causa. Se quelle intelligenze, competenze, capitali fossero stati usati – nell’ultimo mezzo secolo - per affrontare e risolvere le vere emergenze dell’umanità – fame, povertà, acqua inquinata, malattie curabili, clima alterato, energia pulita, ecc - semplicemente non ci sarebbe stato alcun bisogno né della NATO né dell’industria bellica, ed il pianeta sarebbe più giusto ed equilibrato, anziché sulla soglia della terza guerra mondiale. Una questione di scelte, macropolitiche, ma anche micropolitiche, come si vedrà ad esempio nella subalternità dei sindacati e della ex sinistra tradizionale. Va aggiunto anche che le nuove forze politiche sulla scena in Italia si sono da subito allineate sia al blocco NATO, sia al sostegno dell’industria bellica, che gode di un sostegno bipartizan, nonostante il Beppe nazionale tuonasse, ancora nel 2005, contro le banche armate. Si noti anche che diverse aziende belliche italiane sono molto interessate alla tecnologia del 5G, per la quale il Governo Conte 1 ha già incassato 6,5 miliardi di euro per le concessioni alle aziende di telefonia mobile, senza nessuna garanzia sulla salute, né sui risvolti militari nascosti della stessa tecnologia.
