Discusses Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/56 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/100 — covering simplified intra-EU aircraft transfers, the investigation and evaluation performed by the competent authority where an imported aircraft lacks a complete airworthiness status statement, streamlined ARC processes, occurrence reporting aligned with Regulation (EU) No 376/2014, and the shift from compliance-based to risk-based NCA oversight. Effective 7 August 2026.
Key takeaways
- 2026/56 simplifies the transfer of aircraft between Member States and provides that, where an imported or former state aircraft lacks a statement of its airworthiness status, the competent authority may conduct an investigation and evaluation of the aircraft as the basis for issuing the certificate of airworthiness
- 2026/100 amends Part-M/ML and Part-CAMO/CAO so that appropriately approved organisations may issue airworthiness review certificates (ARCs) directly, removing the NCA recommendation step
- Occurrence reporting is aligned with Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 — the 'report once' principle eliminates redundant reporting paths
- NCA oversight shifts from reviewing individual ARCs to risk-based oversight of the organisation's management system effectiveness and reporting quality
- Just Culture protections under Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 are formally extended to the continuing airworthiness sector
- Hard start date: 7 August 2026 — CAME/CAE rewrites and staff training must be complete by then
