Civil Aviation Safety Directorate NATIONAL OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY 20 13 REPORT ACTIVITY Ministère de l'Écologie, du Développement durable et de l’Énergie www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr DSAC - ACTIVITY REPORT 2013 The year 2013 was marked by the adoption of the 2013-2015 social protocol of the DGAC that offi cially acknowledged the three-year changes of the DSAC: changes in the safety and security surveillance CONTENTS business lines in an increasingly European context of increasing requirements, consolidation of its other missions and territorial reorganisation in order to play our part in the future in spite of severe budget constraints. Thus, for eleven territorial delegations in metropolitan France, the services will gradually be grouped at the head-offi ces of the interregional divisions. This reorganisation will go hand in hand with signifi cant efforts towards training monitoring of careers of the agents. 2013 was also the year when the «Aircrew» European Regulation entered into force resulting in strong mobilisation of the DSAC with regard to fl ight crews: pilot training schools, licenses and medical fi tness. Thus, to ensure compliance with Aircrew, DSAC had to redefi ne its methods, adapt its IT tools, make changes in applications, which have been successfully done. Very important work, in collaboration with ENAC, was also carried out along with the French Aeronautical Federation to develop «standard» organisation and training manuals for fl ying clubs. In the medical fi eld, DSAC has completely revised its surveillance and organisation procedures. ORGANISATION CHART ............................... 4 DSAC teams have actively contributed to the development and changes of the new European aviation safety regulations, in order to make their application in France as relevant as possible; this includes the fi nalisation of regulations on airports, HIGHLIGHTS ................................................. 6 special provisions for non-commercial aviation and aerial work.
