AMC-20 Amendment 21

Extended range operation with two-engine aeroplanes ETOPS certification and operation

Following the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2019/1387, the objective of this Decision is to support the implementation of the requirements on commercial operation of certain categories of aeroplanes without an ETOPS approval. To this end, AMC20-6 has been amended as necessary.

ED Decision 2016/007/R Changes to operational suitability data (OSD)

This ED Decision includes acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM) to Part-21 (Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012) to facilitate the implementation of the rules related to the approval of changes to operational suitability data (OSD).

The purpose of the draft AMC/GM annexed to this Decision is to reduce the administrative burden on applicants for the approval of a change. The guidance should allow these applicants to come easily to a decision with regard to:

  • whether a design change impacts on OSD or not;
  • the classification of changes to OSD as ‘minor’ or ‘major’ ones;
  • the certification basis for the OSD change; and
  • the use of their design organisation approval (DOA) for OSD changes.
