The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) launched on Friday its new web-based rulemaking handbook (e-tool) to facilitate access to EASA rules. The handbook currently includes Notices of Proposed Amendment (NPA) for air operations (NPA 2009-02B, NPA 2009-02C, NPA 2009-02E) and for organisation requirements (NPA 2008-22C). The now launched e-tool is a pre-released version of the final rulemaking handbook which will include all adopted EASA rules. The Agency decided to develop such a preliminary version to support stakeholders in the consultation phase of current NPAs.
The new tool allows users to filter rules according to their specifications. After selecting the relevant key words, they receive PDF documents with all applicable paragraphs across the NPAs already integrated in the system. Alternatively, stakeholders can use a full text search function to retrieve the relevant sections.
The tool can be accessed here. Any technical problems or questions relating to the rulemaking handbook can be sent to [email protected].
