The objective of this Decision is to facilitate the implementation of the new requirements introduced into Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (the ‘Air OPS Regulation’) related to all-weather operations (AWOs) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2237 (the ‘AWO Regulation’).

The AWO Regulation, which will apply from 30 October 2022, includes elements from two different areas: all-weather operations and operator flight crew training.

The AWO Regulation introduced a performance-based, ‘technology-neutral’ approach to the regulation of AWOs, which aims at facilitating a better integration and use of new, advanced technology as well as new operational procedures to support AWOs and at ensuring the availability of aerodrome infrastructure, information, and procedures to support AWOs.

The amended AMC and GM shall apply from 30 October 2022.
