European Aviation Safety Agency Notice of Proposed Amendment 2016-20 Appendix I — Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence RMT.0541 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addresses a regulatory coordination issue related to the aircraft type ratings. According to the AMC to 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this list with changes coming from industry and to add new aircraft types or to remove aircraft types whose the TC has been revoked or surrended. The main objective is to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. Action area: Part-66 AMC/GM Affected rules: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 Affected stakeholders: Member States Driver: Level playing field Rulemaking group: No Impact assessment: None Rulemaking Procedure: Standard 12.05.2009 22.12.2016 20XX/QX TE.RPRO.00034-005 © European Aviation Safety Agency.

How this NPA was developed The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) developed this NPA in line with Regulation (EC) No 216/20081 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Basic Regulation’) and the Rulemaking Procedure2. This rulemaking activity is included in the EASA 2014-2017 Rulemaking Programme3under rulemaking task (RMT).0541. The text of this NPA has been developed by EASA based on recommendations provided by the industry and type certificate lists produced by the Agency’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 10 February 2017. 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 amending Appendix I ‘Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence’ to Annex IV ‘Acceptable Means of Compliance to Part-66’ to Regulation to Decision 2015/029/RM of the Executive Director of the Agency of 17 December 2015. The comments received and the EASA responses will be reflected in a comment-response document (CRD). The CRD will be annexed to the decision. 1 Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (OJ L 79, 19.3.2008, p. 1) (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- content/EN/TXT/?qid=1467719701894&uri=CELEX:32008R0216). 2 EASA is bound to follow a structured rulemaking process as required by Article 52(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. 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 52 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and Articles 6(3) and 7) of the Rulemaking Procedure. 5 In case of technical problems, please contact the CRT webmaster ([email protected]).

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 licence’ to Annex IV ‘Acceptable Means of Compliance to Part-66’. Note: — AML — Aircraft Maintenance Licence — TR — Type Rating — TCDS — Type Certificate Data Sheet — STCDS — Supplemental Type Certificate Data Sheet 2.2. What we want to achieve — objectives The overall objectives of the EASA system are defined in Article 2 of the Basic Regulation. This proposal will contribute to the achievement of the overall objectives by addressing the issues outlined in Chapter 2. 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 the Appendix to keep it up to date. 2.3. Overview of the proposed amendments This NPA introduces the changes due to: a. corrections of errors found reviewing the current EASA Products TC/STC Lists and the content of the related TCDS/STCDS: 1. Addition or deletion of Models and TRs according to the approved airframe/engine configuration. 2. Rectifications of the model names and/or commercial designations according to the applicable TCDS/STC. c. improvement of the layout of the tables: 1. Creation of a unique correlation between the model and the related type tating endorsement in order to keep a consistency
