EU/EASA Management Systems - Accountabilities and Responsibilities for Aerodromes
Implementing and maintaining a management system as an aerodrome operator is way more than just a requirement from the Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. It is a crucial pillar to ensure safe, compliant and efficient airport operations. But who is actually responsible and who is accountable?
Since the adoption of Regulation (EU) No. 139/2014, an aerodrome operator is required to demonstrate to their competent authorities the compliance of their Management System (MS), integrating a Safety Management System (SMS). The corresponding Implementing Rule ADR.OR.D.005 includes more details for the implementation. In addition, the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) by EASA further specifies how a compliant management system should be set up.
Attendees of this 2-day training course will gain the necessary knowledge to review, adapt and extend their existing MS and SMS in order to fulfil the EU/EASA requirements.
The course focuses on the “11 management bricks” of the above-mentioned Implementing Rule, including, amongst others, clear lines of accountabilities and responsibilities, compliance monitoring as well as change management.
Attendees will be encouraged to participate by providing examples of strengths and weaknesses of their existing MS, SMS, and other elements such as compliance monitoring and quality management system.

Trainer
Moritz Kaschel, M.Sc.
Moritz holds a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Engineering and is further specialised in Airport Management Systems, Auditing and Aerodrome Planning. As a member of airsight’s consulting team, these combined competencies enable him to assist Aerodromes within their certification process and related fields (e.g. compliance checks and inspections, manuals and procedures, ground handling processes).
At airsight, he conducted several projects for airports such as Dublin, Milan, Luxembourg and others. He also conducted inspections of their airside infrastructure (incl. signs, lights, marking), including the assessment of the pavement conditions - using drones (as holding a commercial UAV operator license and radiotelephone operator´s certificate).
More recently, Moritz assisted Luxembourg Airport to obtain a new certificate in accordance to the new EASA requirements – a task of several months requiring a good knowledge of the applicable regulations as well as project management skills. Additionally, he was involved in the development of a corrective action plan for a major Middle Eastern airport and conducted airside infrastructure inspections in western Africa.
With his broad ranging experience regarding Airport Management Systems and Compliance, he is an instructor for multiple airsight courses.
