Air Operator Certificate (AOC)

– All organisations that conduct Commercial Air Transport (CAT) must have an Air Operator
Certificate (AOC)

– (a) operators shall adapt their management system, training programmes, procedures and
manuals to be compliant with Annexes III, IV and V, as relevant

– (b) the AOC shall be replaced by certificates issued in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

• EASA‐Ops 1 – Commercial Air Transport (CAT) Aircraft

• EASA‐Ops 2 – Aerial Work and General & Business Aviation (Commercial)

• EASA‐Ops 3 – Operations of Rotorcraft

• EASA‐Ops 4 – Operation of Non‐commercial Aircraft & Recreational Aircraft.

-the AOC is issued in the country where the operator has its headquarters.

– Previous experience, Any previous conduct, – Equipment – Does the organisation have sufficient
resources to cover the unexpected as well as the routine – Who will carry out the aircraft
maintenance

Key positions that must be filled by persons acceptable to the NAA are:

– Accountable Manager

– Flight Operation Manager

– Maintenance Manager, even if contracted out to a third party Part‐145 organisation

– Crew Training Manager.

With small organisations, ie <20 employees, the significant posts may be filled by one person

• As with Part‐145 organisations, the person with the most authority and responsibility is the
• AOC has no validity period, but its operations will be supervised and audited by the NAA on a
regular basis

• The AOC remains in force, providing that the operator:

– Holds valid aircraft Certificates of Airworthiness (C of A) for all their aircraft – Those certificates are
issued by an EASA member state 

– Ensures that the maintenance system remains approved & in compliance with Part‐M

– Maintain an adequate quality system with duly appointed Quality Manager

-certain specialist services, eg Air Ambulance & Police, also must comply with EASA‐Ops However,
they do have their own section, Subpart Q

— An AOC Holder must promote Safe operations at all times

—The QM must establish a Quality Assurance Programme

— The operator must establish a Risk Awareness Programme

- Part of this must be an Occurrence Reporting System : This must be the Maintenance Error
Reporting System (MEMS)

AOC Holder’s responsibility to ensure : Crew Training, Emergency Equipment, Dangerous Goods ,
Passenger Seating, Passenger Behaviour .

* Tech Log:
– Defects

– Fuel uploads & Fuel Flow – Oil uploads

– Sector times

– Block times, etc.
– Information about each flight
– Current aircraft Certificate of Release to Service
– Current maintenance statement giving:


-Technical Logbook sections:

1Title Page
2Maintenance Statement
3Sector Records Page ( Safety information)
4Deferred Defects
5 necessary maintenance support information-engineering contact details.

-All AOC Aircraft must have a Maintenance Programme Usually called a Scheduled Maintenance
Programme( SMP) - safe, cost‐effective

-Type Certificate (TC) holder to prepare and revise the initial minimum scheduled maintenance
requirements
- Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) - scheduled maintenance tasks —> Maintenance
Steering Group‐3 (MSG‐3) —> Maintenance Working Groups (MWG)

-the A/C manufacturer is still in charge of this process & sets the minimum standards
-The MRBR results in a Maintenance Planning Document (MPD):continually revised as data is
gathered during test flying & in‐service experience.

-With every new A/C type the manufacturer produces a Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL)
-Operators can add to the MMEL with an additional Minimum Equipment List (MEL)
-The MMEL & MEL contain information on when an inoperative component must be fixed, called
Rectification Time Interval (RTI). 7-10 days
!!The final decision to take an A/C with a MMEL/MEL deficiency lies with the pilot.
-Configuration Deviation List (CDL): contains items of the A/C’s structure that may be missing, but
do not affect its flying characteristics —> Aircraft’s Flight Manual (AFM).
Category A: No standard interval must be rectified in accordance with the MEL conditions
B: three consecutive days
C : 10 days
D: 120 days
For EASA‐Ops 1 for large CAT:
Certificate of Airworthiness
Certificate of Registration
Aircraft Radio Licence
Placard: Details of these are in the aircraft's Approved Maintenance Manual (AMN), ATA Chapter
11.
