Decision 2022/015/R issues the following amendments to the AMC and GM to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373:

• AMC and GM to Part-AIS — Issue 1, Amendment 2

The objective of this Decision is to facilitate the implementation of the amended provisions of Part-AIS of Regulation (EU) 2017/373, introduced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/938, and to ensure their harmonised implementation, with a view to ensuring a high level of safety, while improving efficiency in the domain of aeronautical information services.

This Decision amends the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) to Part-AIS of Regulation (EU) 2017/373, which are related to specific sections of the aeronautical information publication (AIP).

The amendments of the AMC and GM are expected to support the implementation of the ICAO global reporting format (GRF), but also the all-weather operations (AWOs) concept at aerodromes, by ensuring the publication of required aeronautical data/information in the AIP, in a consistent and harmonised manner.

The amendments are also expected to facilitate the relevant aeronautical data/information originators, but also the industry of aeronautical data services providers, as well as aircraft operators and other organisations using the AIP content, such as flight procedure design organisations.

Decision 2022/016/R issues the following amendments to the AMC and GM to Commission Regulation (EU) No 139/2014:

• AMC & GM to Authority, Organisation and Operations Requirements for Aerodromes — Issue 1, Amendment 7

The objective of this Decision is to fully align the instructions for the origination of a SNOWTAM contained in the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) to Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 (the ‘ADR Regulation’) with the instructions for the publication of a SNOWTAM by aeronautical information service (AIS) providers, in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/938 of 26 July 2022. This alignment is necessary for the correct implementation of the ICAO global reporting format (GRF) for runway surface conditions.

This Decision amends GM1 ADR.OPS.A.057(d)(4) on the origination of a SNOWTAM. The amendment of this GM is expected to increase safety by providing accurate information that has been originated by the aerodrome operator.

AMC & GM to Part-M — Issue 2, Amendment 7
AMC & GM to Part-CAMO — Issue 1, Amendment 3
AMC & GM to Part-ORO — Issue 2, Amendment 22

The objective of this Decision is to facilitate the implementation of the requirements introduced by Regulation (EU) 2022/410, which amended Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (‘Continuing Airworthiness (CAW) Regulation’) as regards the CAW management in a single air carrier business grouping.

This Decision amends the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) & Guidance Material (GM) to Annex I (Part M) and Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) to the CAW Regulation, as well as the AMC & GM to Annex III (Part-ORO) to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (‘Air OPS Regulation’) regarding the following topics:

• definition of a ‘single air carrier business grouping’;
• harmonisation of the management systems of the organisations involved;
• cooperation in the oversight by competent authorities (CAs) of the organisations involved; and
• nomination by the operator of the person responsible for the management and supervision of the contract with a CAMO.
