Discusses Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/56 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/100 — covering simplified intra-EU aircraft transfers, evaluation programs for missing airworthiness data, streamlined ARC processes, harmonized occurrence reporting, and the shift from compliance-based to risk-based NCA oversight. Effective 7 August 2026.

Key takeaways

  1. 2026/56 introduces formal evaluation programs to bridge gaps in historical airworthiness records for imported or former state aircraft
  2. 2026/100 empowers CAMOs and CAOs to issue ARCs directly, removing the NCA recommendation step
  3. Occurrence reporting is unified through Regulation 376/2014 — the 'report once' principle eliminates redundant paths
  4. NCA oversight shifts from reviewing individual ARCs to auditing SMS effectiveness and reporting quality
  5. Just Culture protections are formally extended to the continuing airworthiness sector
  6. Hard start date: 7 August 2026 — CAME/CAE rewrites and staff training must be complete by then
