Almennar upplýsingar

Útdráttur

Reglugerðin er afrakstur heildarendurskoðunar Evrópusambandsins á eldri reglugerð sama efnis frá 2008 (og fyrirrennara frá 2002) og er hluti af heildarstefnumótun sambandsins á flugsviðinu. Reglugerðin verður ný og bætt lagastoð fyrir mest alla afleidda löggjöf á sviði flugöryggis. Gildissviðið nær nú t.d. til ómannaðra loftfar, netöryggis í flugsamgöngum og flugafgreiðslu. Flugöryggisstofnun Evrópu, EASA, er veitt víðtækara umboð til verkefna sem snerta flugöryggi s.s. flugvernd, umhverfisvernd, rannsókn og þróun og alþjóðlega samvinnu. Skilgreind er verkaskipting milli EASA og eftirlitsyfirvalda í aðildarríkjum og auknir möguleikar á samvinnu á sviði eftirlits. Tilteknum eftirlitsskyldum aðilum er heimilað að óska eftir því að lúta eftirliti EASA. Heimildir til eftirlits á grundvelli áhættu- og frammistöðumats eru styrktar. Boðið er uppá meiri sveigjanleika til að létta reglur um léttari loftför og smærri rekstur.

Nánari efnisumfjöllun

Inngangur: Þann 11. september 2018 tók gildi innan ESB ný reglugerð um Flugöryggisstofnun Evrópu (EASA). Reglugerð 2018/1139 (hér eftir reglugerðin eða EASA reglugerðin) byggir á stefnu Evrópusambandsins frá 2015 um aukna samkeppnishæfni flugs í Evrópu. Með henni eru reglur sambandsins aðlagaðar framtíðarverkefnum á sviði flugöryggis og umhverfisverndar. Reglugerðin er afrakstur heildarendurskoðunar Evrópusambandsins á eldri reglugerð sama efnis frá 2008, sem og fyrirrennara hennar frá 2002 og er hluti af heildarstefnumótun sambandsins á flugsviðinu.

Í hnotskurn:
Reglugerðin hefur að geyma uppfærðar sameiginlegar grunnreglur á sviði flugs, þ.m.t. flugöryggis. Reglugerðin þjónar að sama skapi sem ný og endurbætt lagastoð fyrir alla afleidda löggjöf sem framkvæmdastjórn ESB er falið að setja á sviði flugöryggis með fáeinum undantekningum. Umfangið er mikið og spannar t.a.m. allt er tengist flugöryggi í borgaralegu flugi, hvort sem um er að ræða aðila eða einstaklinga innan ESB/EES. Reglugerðin gildir um atriði allt frá hönnun, framleiðslu, starfrækslu og viðhalds loftfara, hvort sem þau eru mönnuð eða ekki. Þar undir eru hlutir og svið eins og hreyflar, búnaður - hvort sem hann er ísettur eður ei -, flugrekstur, kennsla, viðhaldsstöðvar, flugvellir, flugleiðsaga og rekstrarstjórnun flugumferðar, hönnun loftrýmis, sem og eftirliti með flugmálayfirvöldum í aðildarríkjum. Hér er ekki um að ræða tæmandi upptalningu.
Hlutverk EASA er frekar útvíkkað og styrkt. Stofnuninni er veitt víðtækara umboð til verkefna sem hafa snertifleti við flugöryggi s.s. á sviði flugverndar, umhverfisverndar, rannsókna og þróunar og alþjóðlega samvinnu. Þá er EASA falið hlutverk sem samræmingaraðili á sviði netöryggis í flugi.
Reglugerðin afmarkar enn frekar verkaskiptingu milli EASA og eftirlitsyfirvalda í aðildarríkjum. Hér gætir nokkurra nýmæla er varðar möguleika ríkja og EASA til samvinnu á sviði eftirlits og framsali eftirlits milli ríkja eða til EASA. Þá er einnig tilteknum eftirlitsskyldum aðilum er gert mögulegt að óska eftir framsali eftirlits til EASA.

Nýmæli:
Í reglugerðinni eru margvísleg nýmæli og breytingar. Þau helstu eru að:
(1) Gildissvið hennar er útvíkkað frá því sem áður var og tekur nú t.a.m. til ómannaðra loftfar, netöryggis í flugsamgöngum og flugafgreiðslu, þ.m.t. hlaðstjórnarþjónustu.
(2) Heimildir til eftirlits byggt á áhættu- og frammistöðumati eru frekar styrktar.
(3) Listi yfir þau loftför sem falla utan gildissviðs reglugerðarinnar hefur verið endurskoðaður.
(4) Sá möguleiki er opnaður fyrir framleiðendur loftfara, sem annars féllu utan gildissviðs reglugerðarinnar, að falla undir ákvæði hennar, (opt-in).
(5) Kynntur er sá möguleiki ríkja til að beita tilteknum ákvæðum reglugerðarinnar um loftför og starfsemi sem annars væri utan gildissviðs reglugerðarinnar, s.s. ríkisloftfara (s.s. loftför á vegum landhelgisgæslu, tolls og lögreglu), (opt-in).
(6) Endurskoðuð eru ákvæði er lúta að lofthæfi og umfang þeirra aukið. Mælt er fyrir um ákvæði er lúta að mati á lofthæfi og umhverfis samhæfni hönnunar vara og hluta án þess að vottorð sé gefið út.
(7) Í samræmi við 19. viðauka við Chicago samninginn er í reglugerðinni fest í sessi sérstök áætlun um flugöryggi í Evrópu og aðgerðaráætlun um flugöryggi á vettvangi Evrópusambandsins. Samhliða er sú skylda lögð á ríki til að setja sér slíkar áætlanir og viðhalda þeim og aðgerðaráætlunum sem taki mið af áætlun um flugöryggi og aðgerðaráætlun um flugöryggi á Evrópuvísu.
(8) Gert er ráð fyrir meiri sveigjanleika í að létta umfang reglna er lúta að léttari loftförum og umfangslitlum rekstri.
(9) Þá eru einnig tilteknar í reglugerðinni heimildir ríkja til að undanþiggja frá gildissviði reglugerðarinnar smærri loftför og flugvelli og þann búnað sem þar er notaður auk flugafgreiðslu og hlaðstjórnarþjónustu, (opt-out).
(10) Nýr gagnagrunnur um flugöryggismál gerir ráð fyrir skráningu margvíslegra upplýsinga af hendi ríkja, EASA og framkvæmdastjórnar ESB í grunninn. Aðeins hluti upplýsinga í grunninum verður opin almenningi. M.a. er gert ráð fyrir afmarkaðar upplýsingar um heilbrigði flugmanna verði skráðar í grunninn, en háðar aðgangstakmörkunum.
(11) Jafnframt er víða opnað á möguleika framkvæmdastjórnar ESB að nýta þá sérþekkingu sem EASA býr yfir í málaflokkum sem almennt hafa aðeins að litlu leyti verið færðir til stofnunarinnar s.s. á sviði flugverndar. Einnig er gefinn kostur á að stofnunin aðstoði framkvæmdastjórnina við að skilgreina helstu rannsóknarþemu sem tengjast þeim sviðum sem reglugerðin nær til.
(12) Í reglugerðinni er kveðið á um ríkar heimildir til framsals eftirlits, hvort sem er frá ríki til EASA eða viðurkenndra aðila eða annarra ríkja innan EES. Þá er opnað á þann mögueika að tilteknir eftirlitsskyldir aðilar geti framselt eftirlit til EASA.
(13) Gert er ráð fyrir að framkvæmdastjórn ESB geti hlutast til um aðstoð til ríkis þegar eftirliti er svo ábótavant að flugöryggi væri stefnt í hættu. Slík aðstoð væri veitt með fullþingi EASA og ríkisins sjálfs að tilteknum skilyrðum uppfylltum.
Nýrri reglugerð fylgja auk þess breytingar á fáeinum ESB gerðum til viðbótar, m.a. reglugerð (ESB) nr. 1008/2008 en í henni eru lagðar til breytingar á skilyrðum til útgáfu flugrekstrarleyfis.

Ljóst er að gera þarf margvíslegar breytingar á loftferðalögum, nr. 60/1998 með síðari breytingum, auk reglugerða sem settar eru með stoð í lögunum. Þá kann að þurfa gera afmarkaðar breytingar á ákvæðum er varða rannsóknarskyldu vegna flugslysa og flugatvika í lögum um rannsókn samgönguslysa nr. 18/2003 og á ákvæðum er varða framsal eftirlits og kröfum til eftirlitsaðila í lögum um Samgöngustofu, nr. 119/2012.

Samantekt EUR-Lex

WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION?

  • The regulation aims to establish a high and uniform level of civil aviation safety while ensuring environmental protection.
  • It updates aviation safety law and includes:

KEY POINTS

The regulation covers all key areas of aviation, including:

  • airworthiness
  • aircrews
  • aerodromes
  • air operations and
  • air navigation services.

The regulation:

Main changes and additions

  • The regulation updates EU safety legislation in the aviation sector. Essential requirements are established for aircraft with respect to their airworthiness and environmental compatibility. Manufacturers will be required to issue certificates of airworthiness in accordance with the technical requirements.
  • It introduces risk- and performance-based rules that set objectives but leave some flexibility as to the means for achieving them. It also promotes taking non-binding measures (such as safety-promotion measures) whenever this is possible.
  • It revises the scope of some rules by excluding small, single-person hot-air balloons, adjusting the weight limits for sailplanes and adding light electric aircraft. It introduces reforms to:
    • deal with the growth of air traffic;
    • increase security;
    • reduce costs, delays and the impact of air traffic on the environment.
  • Cabin crew involved in commercial air transport are subject to certification and should be issued with an attestation. The European Commission has established detailed rules and procedures for cabin crew qualification.
  • The regulation also sets out essential requirements for safe ground handling services, which are now included within the scope of the regulation, and closes a number of other safety gaps.
  • There is also a chapter on aviation safety management, establishing the European plan for aviation safety, which covers the whole aviation safety system.

Civil drones

  • The regulation introduces essential requirements for drones. The rules are meant to be proportionate to the risk of the particular operation or type of operation, and state that the drone must be safely controllable and manoeuvrable. It should be designed to fit its function and intended type of operation and take into account privacy and the protection of personal data by design and by default. Identification of the drone and of the nature and purpose of the operation should also be possible.
  • The drone operator should be responsible for its operation and should have the appropriate knowledge and skills to operate the drone safely. Organisations involved in drone design, production, maintenance, operations, related services and training must establish a safety occurrence reporting system.
  • The regulation specifies the registration threshold that applies to drone operators: operators must be registered if they operate drones that can transfer more than 80 joules of kinetic energy upon impact with a person. This threshold can be amended in the future without lengthy procedures, to take account of developments in this area.
  • Depending on the nature and risk of the activity, the operational characteristics of the aircraft and the characteristics of its area of operation, a certificate may be required for its design, production, maintenance and operation and for its personnel, including remote pilots.
  • In accordance with the regulation, the Commission, with the help of EASA, drew up Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947, which lays down detailed rules for drones and for drone operation (see summary).
  • A delegated act, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1107, sets out the rules on the continuing airworthiness of certified unmanned aircraft systems and their components, and on approving organisations and personnel involved in these tasks.
  • An implementing act, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1109, which applies from 1 May 2025, includes rules regarding competent authority requirements and administrative procedures for certifying, overseeing and enforcing the continuing airworthiness of certified drones.

Pilot licences issued by non-EU countries

  • Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/723 establishes the procedures and, in particular, the possible training credit that can be claimed by a pilot who has obtained a pilot’s licence in a non-EU country and wants to convert it into an EU licence.
  • It ensures that these pilots still receive training on the subjects that are specific to EU airspace, or otherwise not required in non-EU countries, while ensuring they do not need to excessively retrain for aspects already covered previously.
  • Regulation (EU) 2020/723 was previously part of an implementing act, Regulation (EU) 1178/2011 (see summary), but needed to be separated into a delegated act due to the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139.

Environmental protection

As regards noise and emissions, aircraft other than unmanned aircraft and their engines, propellers, parts and non-installed equipment must comply with the environmental protection requirements contained in Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation from 1 January 2021.

European Union Aviation Safety Agency

  • The regulation extends EASA’s scope to include safety-related aspects of security, such as cybersecurity, and environmental protection.
  • It establishes a mechanism for the pooling and sharing of aviation inspectors and other technical assistance to support EU Member States in certification, oversight and enforcement tasks.
  • The electronic information repository established by EASA to ensure effective cooperation between EASA and the relevant national authorities includes information on the reallocation by one Member State to another, or to EASA, of responsibilities related to certification, oversight and enforcement, along with measures concerning flights above conflict zones.
  • EASA and the national competent authorities may allocate their tasks related to certification and oversight under this regulation to qualified entities that have been accredited. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1403, which came into effect on 13 June 2024, lays down the conditions and procedures for the accreditation of these entities.

Information security risks with a potential impact on aviation safety

  • Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1645, which applies from 16 October 2025, sets out the requirements to be met in order to identify and manage information security risks with a potential impact on aviation safety for organisations.
  • These requirements cover a wide range of aviation domains and their interfaces, as aviation is a highly interconnected system of systems, and apply to all the organisations that are already required to have a management system under EU aviation safety legislation.
  • Organisations covered include production and design organisations, air operators, maintenance organisations, airworthiness management organisations, training organisations, operators of flight simulation training devices, air traffic management / air navigation service providers, aerodrome operators and apron management service1 providers.
  • Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/203 sets out the blueprint for the EU’s cyber-resilient aviation system, laying down the rules for identifying and managing security risks that could affect information and communication technology systems and data used for civil aviation purposes in aviation organisations covered by Commission Regulations (EU) Nos 1321/2014, 965/2012 and 1178/2011 and (EU) 2015/340 and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2017/373 and 2021/664, and in competent authorities (including EASA) covered by Commission Regulations (EU) Nos 748/2012, 1321/2014, 965/2012, 1178/2011 and 139/2014 and (EU) 2015/340 and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2017/373 and 2021/664, and amending Commission Regulations (EU) Nos 1178/2011, 748/2012, 965/2012, 139/2014 and 1321/2014 and (EU) 2015/340 and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2017/373 and 2021/664. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/203, which applies from 22 February 2026, lays down requirements for detecting information security events, identifying those that are considered information security incidents and responding to, and recovering from, those information security incidents at a level commensurate with their impact on aviation safety.
  • To manage safety risks deriving from information security threats, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1109 (see above) amends Regulation (EU) 2023/203 to include within its scope the competent authorities responsible for the continuing airworthiness of certified drones and their components so that the requirements in relation to these risks are applied.

FROM WHEN DOES THE REGULATION APPLY?

It has applied since 11 September 2018.
