                                                 taking controlled rest;
                                              (4)  in the case of two-crew operations, means should be established to ensure that the
                                                 non- resting flight crew member remains alert. This may include:
                                                  (i)  appropriate alarm systems;
                                                  (ii)  on board systems to monitor flight crew activity; and
                                                  (iii)  where cabin crew are on board the aircraft, frequent cabin crew checks. In this
                                                     case, the pilot-in-command should inform the cabin crew member of the
                                                     intention of the flight crew member to take controlled rest, and of the time of
                                                     the end of that rest; frequent contact should be established between the non-
                                                     resting flight crew member and the cabin crew by communication means, and
                                                     the cabin crew should check that the resting flight crew member is alert at the
                                                     end of the period;
                                              (5)  there should be a minimum of 20 minutes between two sequential controlled rest
                                                 periods in order to overcome the effects of sleep inertia and allow for adequate
                                                 briefing;
                                              (6)  if necessary, a flight crew member may take more than one rest period, if time
                                                 permits, on longer sectors, subject to the restrictions above; and
                                              (7)  controlled rest periods should terminate at least 30 minutes before the top of
                                                 descent.
             NCC.GEN.106(e) AMC1     Pilot-in-command responsibilities and authority
                                      VIOLATION REPORTING
                                      If required by the State in which the incident occurs, the pilot-in-command should submit a report on
                                      any such violation to the appropriate authority of such State; in that event, the pilot-in-command should
                                      also submit a copy of it to the competent authority. Such reports should be submitted as soon as
                                      possible and normally within 10 days.
             NCC.GEN.110             Compliance with laws, regulations and procedures
                                          (a)  The pilot-in-command shall comply with the laws, regulations and procedures of those
                                             States where operations are conducted.
                                          (b)  The pilot-in-command shall be familiar with the laws, regulations and procedures, pertinent
                                             to the performance of his/her duties, prescribed for the areas to be traversed, the
                                             aerodromes or operating sites to be used and the related air navigation facilities as referred
                                             to in 1.a of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.
             NCC.GEN.115             Common language
                                      The operator shall ensure that all crew members can communicate with each other in a common
                                      language.
             NCC.GEN.119             Taxiing of aircraft
                                      The operator shall establish procedures for taxiing to ensure safe operation and to enhance runway
                                      safety.
             NCC.GEN.119 AMC1        Taxiing of aircraft
                                      PROCEDURES FOR TAXIING
                                      Procedures for taxiing should include at least the following:
                                          (a)  application of the sterile flight crew compartment procedures;
                                          (b)  use of standard radio-telephony (RTF) phraseology;

                                          (d)  measures to enhance the situational awareness of the minimum required flight crew
                                             members. The following list of typical items should be adapted by the operator to take into
                                             account its operational environment:
                                              (1)  each flight crew member should have the necessary aerodrome layout charts
                                                 available;
                                              (2)  the pilot taxiing the aircraft should announce in advance his/her intentions to the pilot
                                                 monitoring;
                                              (3)  all taxi clearances should be heard, and should be understood by each flight crew
                                                 member;
                                              (4)  all taxi clearances should be cross-checked against the aerodrome chart and
                                                 aerodrome surface markings, signs, and lights;
                                              (5)  an aircraft taxiing on the manoeuvring area should stop and hold at all lighted stop
                                                 bars, and may proceed further when an explicit clearance to enter or cross the
                                                 runway has been issued by the aerodrome control tower, and when the stop bar
                                                 lights are switched off;
                                              (6)  if the pilot taxiing the aircraft is unsure of his/her position, he/she should stop the
                                                 aircraft and contact air traffic control;
                                              (7)  the pilot monitoring should monitor the taxi progress and adherence to the
                                                 clearances, and should assist the pilot taxiing;
                                              (8)  any action which may disturb the flight crew from the taxi activity should be avoided
                                                 or done with the parking brake set (e.g. announcements by public address);
                                          (e)  subparagraphs (d)(2) and (d)(7) are not applicable to single-pilot operations.
             NCC.GEN.120             Taxiing of aeroplanes
                                      The operator shall ensure that an aeroplane is only taxied on the movement area of an aerodrome if
                                      the person at the controls:
                                          (a)  is an appropriately qualified pilot; or
                                          (b)  has been designated by the operator and:
