General 1. The purpose of this Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) is to envisage an amendment to Decision 2005/07/R of the Executive Director of 19 December 2005 on acceptable means of compliance (AMC) to Part-66 Appendix I Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence (hereinafter referred to as Part-66 AMC Appendix I) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 of 20 November 2003 on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances, and on the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks (Commission Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003)1. The scope of this rulemaking activity is outlined in ToR 66.003 and is described in more detail below. 2. European Aviation Safety Agency (hereafter the Agency) is directly involved in the rule-shaping process. It assists the Commission in its executive tasks by preparing draft regulations, and amendments thereof, for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2002 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency (the Basic Regulation)2, which is adopted as “Opinions” (Article 14(1) of the Basic Regulation). It also adopts Certification Specifications, including Airworthiness Codes and Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material to be used in the certification process (Article 14(2) of the Basic Regulation). 3. When developing rules, the Agency is bound to follow a structured process as required in Article 43(1) of the Basic Regulation. Such process has been adopted by the Agency Management Board concerning the procedure to be applied by the Agency for the issuing of opinions, certification specifications and guidance material (hereafter the Rulemaking Procedure)3. 4. This rulemaking activity is included in the Agency’s rulemaking programme for 2006. It implements the rulemaking task 66.003 Part-66 AMC Appendix I. 5. The text of this NPA has been developed by the Agency. It has been submitted for consultation for all interested parties in accordance with Article 43 of the Basic Regulation and Articles 5(3) and 6 of the Rulemaking Procedure. 1 OJ L 315, 28.11.2003, p. 1. 2 OJ L 240, 7.9.2002, p.1. 3 EASA MB/7/03 27.6.03. Page 3 of 14 NPA No 03-2006 20/04/2006 II. Consultation 6. To achieve optimal consultation, the Agency is publishing the draft decision on its internet site. Comments should be provided within 6 weeks in accordance with Article 6(5) of the EASA the Rulemaking Procedure. The reasons for the reduced comment period are outlined below. 7. Part-66 AMC Appendix I has been updated once by the Decision No 2005/07/R of the Executive Director of the Agency of 19 December 2005 on acceptable means of compliance and guidance material to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 of 20 November 2003 on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances, and on the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks. This is the second amendment to the Appendix. Task 66.003 is a permanent rulemaking task for the Agency and subject to an accelerated rulemaking procedure. This had been agreed with AGNA/SSCC at the meetings on the 21st and 29th June 2005. The list will be updated three to four times per year. The consultation period will be reduced to 6 weeks and no regulatory impact assessment will be carried out. Comments on this proposal may be forwarded (preferably by e-mail), using the attached comment form, to: By e-mail: [email protected] By correspondence: Process Support Unit Rulemaking Directorate EASA Ref: NPA 03-2006 Postfach 10 12 53 D-50452 Cologne Germany Comments should be received by the Agency before 2 June 2006. If received after this deadline they might not be treated. Comments may not be considered if the form provided for this purpose is not used. III. Comment response document 8. All comments received in time will be responded to and incorporated in a comment response document (CRD). This may contain a list of all persons and/or organisations that have provided comments. The CRD will be widely available on the Agency’s website. IV. Content of the draft decision 9. The objective of Part-66 AMC Appendix I on Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence is to propose a list of aircraft type ratings (aircraft /engine combinations) to promote a common standard throughout Member States. This requires frequent amendment of the Appendix to keep it up to date. Page 4 of 14 NPA No 03-2006 20/04/2006 10. Appendix I to AMC-66 has been updated once by NPA 13/2005. This is the second amendment of the Appendix. Task 66.003 is a permanent rulemaking task for the Agency and subject to an accelerated rulemaking procedure. This had been agreed with AGNA/SSCC at the meetings on the 21st and 29th June 2005. The list will be updated three to four times per year. The consultation period will be reduced to 6 weeks and no regulatory impact assessment will be carried out. 11. Therefore, the Agency proposes the following amendment to the list Part-66 AMC Appendix I. Page 5 of 14 NPA No 03-2006 20/04/2006 B DRAFT OPINION(S) AND/OR DECISION(S).

It may be many miles from my home shores and the words may have been spoken by an American but they rang somewhat true to the situation at home where the new and developing National Police Air Service is still finding its feet. I was sitting in on the Unit Managers Course when the instructor, a greatly respected man who earned his respect by running a large and successful air operation, reminded his stu- dents of their purpose in life. “If the cops on the street are not screaming for you to come in the expectation of getting [air support] help, the operation is flawed and should be considered a failure” Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT BRAZIL PARA: Emergency services aviation in Brazil has reportedly fallen on hard times. A few years ago the sector had in place a major forward plan that encompassed most of Brazil’s States and most of the airborne service provision and was expected to see growth in re- sources and manpower controlled within a number of complex governing groups [DFNSP, CAVSEG, CONAV, AEAP, SENASP] but when President Rousseff took power in 2011 she swept them away leaving a vacuum.

    AMC/GM TO ANNEX III (PART-66) TO REGULATION (EU) No 1321/2014 APPENDICES TO AMC TO PART-66 APPENDICES TO AMC TO PART-66 APPENDIX I AIRCRAFT TYPE RATINGS FOR PART-66 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENCES The following aircraft type ratings should be used to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. The inclusion of an aircraft type in the licence does not indicate that the aircraft type has been granted a type certificate under the Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and its Implementing Rules; this list is only intended for maintenance purposes. In order to keep this list current and the type ratings consistent, such information should be first passed on to the Agency using the Rulemaking Enquiry form (http://easa.europa.eu/webgate/rulemaking-enquiry/) in case a Member State needs to issue a type rating that is not included in this list. Notes on when the licences should be modified: When a modification is introduced by this Decision to an aircraft type rating or to an engine designation in the rating which affect licences already issued, the ratings on the Aircraft Maintenance Licences (AMLs) may be modified at the next renewal or when the licence is reissued, unless there is an urgent reason to modify the licence. Notes on aircraft modified by Supplemental Type Certificate (STC): — This Appendix I intends to include the type ratings of aircraft resulting from STCs for installation of another engine. These STCs are those approved by the Agency and those approved by the Member States before 2003 and grandfathered by the Agency.

  • Diesel, Spark-Ignition, and Turboprop Engines for Long-Duration Unmanned Air Flights
    JOURNAL OF PROPULSION AND POWER Diesel, Spark-Ignition, and Turboprop Engines for Long-Duration Unmanned Air Flights Daniele Cirigliano,∗ Aaron M. Frisch,† Feng Liu,‡ and William A. Sirignano‡ University of California, Irvine, California 92697 DOI: 10.2514/1.B36547 Comparisons are made for propulsion systems for unmanned flights with several hundred kilowatts of propulsive power at moderate subsonic speeds up to 50 h in duration. Gas-turbine engines (turbofans and turboprops), two- and four-stroke reciprocating (diesel and spark-ignition) engines, and electric motors (with electric generation by a combustion engine) are analyzed. Thermal analyses of these engines are performed in the power range of interest. Consideration is given to two types of generic missions: 1) a mission dominated by a constant-power requirement, and 2) a mission with intermittent demand for high thrust and/or substantial auxiliary power. The weights of the propulsion system, required fuel, and total aircraft are considered. Nowadays, diesel engines for airplane applications are rarely a choice. However, this technology is shown to bea very serious competitor for long-durationunmanned air vehicle flights. The two strongest competitors are gas-turbine engines and turbocharged four-stroke diesel engines, each type driving propellers. It is shown that hybrid-electric schemes and configurations with several propellers driven by one power source are less efficient. At the 500 KW level, one gas-turbine engine driving a larger propeller is more efficient for durations up to 25 h, whereas several diesel engines driving several propellers become more efficient at longer durations. The decreasing efficiency of the gas-turbine engine with decreasing size and increasing compression ratio is a key factor.
