COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2020/570
of 28 January 2020
amending and correcting Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 as regards the alignment of rules for continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances with Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (2) has been amended (3) to establish more flexible requirements for the maintenance of light aircraft and to add safety risk management for organisations that manage the continuing airworthiness of aircraft operated by holders of an air operator certificate. As a consequence of that amendment the measures to be taken to ensure the continuing airworthiness of an aircraft, which were previously laid down in Annex I (Part-M) of Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, are now laid down in Annex I (Part-M), Annex Vb (Part-ML), Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) and Annex Vd (Part-CAO) of that Regulation, in accordance to the type of aircraft and operation thereof. |
(2) |
Since the provisions relating to certificates of airworthiness, repair design approvals and permits to fly, laid down in Annex I (Part 21) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 (4), only refer to Annex I (Part-M) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, that Annex I (Part-21) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 should be amended to adapt its provisions to the new structure of the Annexes to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014. |
(3) |
Point (b) of point 21.A.604 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 may be understood that for the approval of design changes to Auxiliary Power Unit for applicants who do not hold a European Technical Standard Order Authorisation, as regards changes classified as minor, Subpart E of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 should be applied instead of Subpart D of Annex I to that Regulation. Therefore, Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 should be corrected to clarify that in those cases Subpart D of Annex I to that Regulation applies. |
(4) |
The requirements related to the production cut-off standard for aeroplane CO2 emissions in point 21.A.165 of Subpart G of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 are not clearly stated and aligned with the same requirements in Subpart F of Annex I to that Regulation. Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 should therefore be corrected. |
(5) |
The provision in letter (c) of point 21.A.93 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 refers to ‘type-certificates or restricted type-certificates’, whereas it should refer to ‘changes to type-certificates or restricted type-certificates’. Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 should therefore be corrected. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with Opinions 05/2016 (5) and 06/2016 (6) of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency submitted pursuant to Article 76(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 is amended and corrected as follows:
(1) |
in Article 1(2), point (d) is deleted; |
(2) |
Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. |
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 24 March 2020.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 28 January 2020.

Ursula VON DER LEYEN
