2. AmendmentsLeasuithe The Irish Aviation Authority

pursuance of sections 5 , 14 , 58 , 59 , 60 and 67 of the Irish Aviation Authority Act 1993 (No. 29 of 1993) as amended by the Air Navigation and Transport Act, 1998 (No. 24 of 1998) hereby orders —

this Order “the Principal Order” means the Irish Aviation Authority (Operations) Order, 1999 ( S.I. No. 19 of 1999 );

to operation on the date of its publication

the Iris Oifigiúil or on the first day of November, 2000, whichever date occurs later. 2. The Principal Order is amended as follows — “

strument approach and landing operations”, “pilot-

-command” and

sert therefor the following definitions: “aerodrome operating minima” means the limits of usability of an aerodrome for: (i) take-off, expressed

terms of runway visual range (RVR) and/or visibility and if necessary, cloud conditions; or (ii) landing

precision approach and landing operations, expressed

terms of visibility and/or runway visual range (RVR) and decision height or altitude (DA/H) as appropriate to the category of the operation; or (iii) landing

non-precision approach and landing operations, expressed

terms of visibility and/or runway visual range, minimum descent altitude or height (MDA/H) and if necessary, cloud conditions. “alternate aerodrome or heliport” means an aerodrome or heliport (

cluding the aerodrome or heliport of departure), which may be specified

a flight plan, to which an aircraft

flight may proceed when it becomes impossible or

advisable to proceed to or to land at the aerodrome or heliport of

tended landing; alternate aerodromes

clude the following: “takeoff alternate” means an alternate aerodrome at which an aircraft can land should this become necessary shortly after takeoff and it is not possible to use the aerodrome of departure; “en-route alternate” means an aerodrome at which an aircraft would be able to land after experiencing an abnormal or emergency condition while en route; “ETOPS en-route alternate” means a suitable and appropriate alternate aerodrome at which an aeroplane would be able to land after experiencing an engine shutdown or other abnormal or emergency condition while en-route

an ETOPS operation; “destination alternate” means an alternate aerodrome to which an aircraft may proceed should it become either impossible or

advisable to land at the aerodrome of

tended landing; “cabin attendant” means a cabin crew member who performs,

the

terest of the safety of passengers, duties assigned by the operator or the pilot-

-command of the aircraft, but who shall not act as a flight crew member; cabin attendants are termed cabin crew members

the applicable Joint Aviation Requirements and a reference to a cabin attendant

this Order shall be construed as a reference to a cabin crew member; “crew member” means a person assigned by an operator to duty on an aircraft during a flight duty period; “decision altitude (DA) or decision height (DH)” means a specified altitude or height

a precision approach at which a missed approach must be

itiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach has not been established; DA is referenced to mean sea level and DH is referenced to the threshold elevation of the runway concerned; “flight recorder” means any type of recorder

stalled

an aircraft for the purpose of complementing accident or

cident

vestigation and

cludes flight data and cockpit voice recorders; “flight time” means, save where the contrary

tention appears, the total time from the moment an aeroplane first moves for the purpose of taking off, under its own or external power, until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight; this is also known as “block to block” or “chock to chock” time

general usage or,

the case of a helicopter, from the moment its rotor blades start turning until the moment the helicopter finally comes to rest at the end of the flight and its rotor blades have stopped; “

strument approach and landing operations” means approach and landing operations using precision or non-precision

strument procedures as defined

the latest amendment to Parts I, II and III, as appropriate, of Annex 6 to the Convention effective on the date of entry

to operation of this Order, unless otherwise prescribed; “pilot-

-command” means the pilot designated by the operator or,

the case of a private category aircraft or an aerial work aircraft, by the owner, as being

command of that aircraft and charged with the safe conduct of a flight;”. (

1. b)Delete sub-paragraph (
2. b)of the definition for “flight crew member” and

sert therefor: “(b)

relation to an aircraft registered

any other state, a flight crew member appropriately licensed or validated under the law of that state and charged with duties essential to the operation of an aircraft during a flight duty period;”. (c)

sert the following definitions: “cabin crew member” means a crew member who performs,

the

terest of the safety of passengers, duties assigned by the operator or the pilot-

-command of the aircraft but who shall not act as a flight crew member; “Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS)” means a ground proximity warning system with a predictive terrain hazard warning function; “ETOPS” means extended range operations for twin engine turbine aircraft; “Master Minimum Equipment list (MMEL)” means a list established for a particular aircraft type by the organisation responsible for the type design with the approval of the State of Design containing items, one or more of which is permitted to be unserviceable at the commencement of a flight and which may be associated with special operating conditions, limitations or procedures for that flight; “maximum mass” means the maximum certificated mass of an aircraft; “Minimum Equipment List (MEL)” means a list which provides for the operation of an aircraft, subject to specified conditions, with particular equipment

operative, prepared by the aircraft operator

conformity with or more restrictive than the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL);”.

Article 9— Delete paragraph

sert therefor— “

commercial air transport operations unless that operator is

possession of a valid Air Operator's Certificate issued by the Authority under the Irish Aviation Authority (Air Operator Certificates) Order, 1993 ( S.I. No. 325 of 1993 ) authorising that operator to conduct commercial air transport operations

accordance with such conditions and limitations as may be specified for that operator and

accordance with the applicable Joint Aviation Requirements and an aircraft, wherever registered, shall not be used within the State for aerial work without the permission of the Authority.”.

Article 26— Delete sub-paragraph (iii) of sub-paragraph

sert therefor: “(iii) for

strument approach and landing operations, aerodrome or heliport operating minima shall not be authorised below 800m visibility unless RVR

formation is available at the aerodrome or heliport concerned, or,

the case of a heliport operation, an alternative accurate measurement or observation of visibility to RVR is provided.”

Article 42— Delete paragraph

sert therefor: “

-command of an aircraft shall not continue an

strument approach beyond the outer marker fix

the case of a precision approach, or below 300m (1000 ft.) above the aerodrome or heliport

the case of a non-precision approach, unless the reported visibility or controlling RVR is above the specified minimum. (b) If, after passing the outer marker fix

the case of a precision approach, or after descending below 300m (1000 ft.) above the aerodrome

the case of a non-precision approach, the reported visibility or controlling RVR falls below the specified minimum, the approach may be continued to the decision altitude or height or to the minimum descent altitude or height, as the case may be, for that approach. (c)

either case of (

1. a)or (
2. b)of this paragraph, the pilot-

-command of an aircraft shall not continue its approach to land at an aerodrome or heliport beyond a point at which the limits of the aerodrome or heliport operating minima established for that aerodrome or heliport and applicable to the approach would be

fringed. (d)

this paragraph, controlling RVR means the reported values of one or more RVR reporting locations used to determine whether operating minima are or are not met. Where RVR is used, the controlling RVR is the touchdown RVR, unless otherwise specified by the appropriate authority of the state

which that aerodrome is located.”.

Article 48— Delete sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph

sert therefor: “(

1. a)the safety of all crew members, passengers and cargo on board when the doors are closed and, for an aeroplane, its operation and safety from the moment it is ready to move for the purpose of taking off until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight and the engine or engines used as primary propulsion unit are finally shut down or, for a helicopter, its operation and safety from the moment the engine or engines are started until the helicopter finally comes to rest at the end of the flight with the engine(
2. s)shut down and the rotor blades stopped;”.

Article 52— Delete sub-paragraph

sert therefor: “(ii) a cockpit voice recorder shall be capable of retaining the
