Air Law

The map to the right shows all the

countries that are members of EASA.

The predecessor to EASA was the so-

called Joint Aviation Regulation (JAR)

rules, which were later carried

forward as EASA regulations.

EASA's areas of work are:
- Certification of aircraft

- Certification of pilots

- Certification of personnel

- Flight operations

- Simplification of rules for GA (General Aviation) flying

1.2.2.1 Rulemaking

The key documents in rulemaking are the European Parliament and Council

Regulation (EC) No. 216/2008, which describes the cooperation between the

EU countries and sets out the areas of work and principles for the collaboration.

Commission Regulation 1178/2011 is also one of the main works. It concerns

certification. For such a regulation, an AMC (Acceptable Means of Compliance)

is issued, which describes how the rules should be followed. GM is Guidance

Material for the rules.

If, for example, there is a disagreement with the wording of a law, a member

state can issue an ALTMOC (Alternate Means of Compliance), and the Danish

Transport Agency has been kind enough to do so on certain points, so that in

Denmark, we have an alternative interpretation of parts of the regulation.
