    Microjet Operators
  • Avoiding Over-Regulation in a Tenuous
    Cost-Benefit Environment

3
THE CHALLENGE FOR US ALL
  • March 3rd, 2005
  • The institutional and regulatory obstacles we
    face are significant. We all call on our
    governments to work with the airlines in
    addressing them, for the good of the public, the
    traveling public and, ultimately, our economies.
  • James C. May,
  • Air Transport Association
  • Ulrich Schulte-Strathaus,
  • Association of European Airlines

4
Forecasting Impacts of Future SARPs
  • Lessons should be learned from the current
    automatic ELT debacle
  • Future SARPs need thorough analysis before
    adoption
  • Can a more optimal partnering arrangement be
    created to assess cost vs. benefit (risk
    reduction)?

5
Forecasting Impacts of Future SARPs
  • Could ICAO adopt EASA/JAAs Regulatory Impact
    Assessment (RIA) methodology?
  • Purpose and Intended Effect
  • Options
  • Sectors affected
  • Impacts
  • Consultation
  • Review of Comments
  • Adoption and Publication

6
Forecasting Impacts of Future SARPs
  • Could ICAO adopt FAAs Aviation Rulemaking
    Advisory Committee (ARAC) approach?

7
Forecasting Impacts of Future SARPs
  • U.S. Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST)
  • Could ICAO adopt CAST approach?
  • A prescribed analysis methodology is used to
    develop intervention strategies
  • Feasibility is assessed and a plan of action is
    created
  • A risk-reduction algorithm is applied

8
Implications of Part 129 Regulations
  • Foreign airlines, after receiving traffic rights
    from the US DOT, require detailed Ops Specs,
    issued by FAA, in addition to the AOC issued by
    the national authority legally responsible for
    oversight.
  • 14USC Part 129 rules on foreign air carriers
    could likely generate a retaliatory regulatory
    effect

9
Implications of Part 129 Regulations
  • US Part 129 largely deals with required onboard
    technology / equippage
  • These safety-related requirements are already
    reasonably oriented toward global
    harmonizationnot a roadblock

10
Implications of Part 129 Regulations
  • The Ops Spec portion primarily addresses
  • airports to be used
  • Routes to be flown
  • Procedures in place to avoid airborne collision
  • Registration and markings signifying compliance
  • Approval is often time-consuming inefficient
  • The safety implications are relatively minimal
  • Could we borrow a page from the Australia/ New
    Zealand approach briefed yesterday?

11
Implications of Part 129 Regulations
  • Is a higher level of trust, coordination, and
    verification potentially possible?
  • Can these few Ops Spec requirements be acquired
    from the AOC?
  • Can approval and oversight be delegated downward
    several levels?
  • Can compliance be verified in an easier way?
  • Can the process be incentivized?

12
Regulation of Bizjet, Fractional Ownership,
Microjet Operators
13
Regulation of Bizjet, Fractional Ownership,
Microjet Operators
  • Goal should be One Level of Safety and
    Operational Expectation
  • Sharing the airspace through government
    -encouraged development should result in parity
  • Any oversight shortfall affects the overall
    system risk

14
Avoiding Over-Regulation in a Tenuous
Cost-Benefit Environment
  • EASA Long Range Operations (LROPS) rules
  • ETOPS requirements on 3 and 4 engine aircraft
  • When operated beyond 180 minutes from an adequate
    airport
  • FAA proposed ETOPS rule
  • Defines Extended Operations (all
    extended-diversion-time aircraft) and ETOPS
    alternate airports to accommodate diversions
  • Introduces required upgrades

15
Avoiding Over-Regulation in a Tenuous
Cost-Benefit Environment
  • Is this a bit too much of a good thingor
    trying to go too far, too fast?
  • Most new-production aircraft intended for this
    market can leverage the new technology
  • The cost to retrofit older aircraft for
    compliance before retirement is too great a
    financial burden for the industry

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR
  • KIND ATTENTION AND
