Introduction to EASA and EU Regulations for Aerodromes
There are many rules and requirements for aerodromes on a European level. Sometimes it can be challenging to navigate through them and to understand the context and impact of each different rule type. This course will help you to get a grip of the EU/EASA requirements for aerodromes.
The rules and requirements are mainly included in the Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (Essential Requirements, ER) and Regulation (EU) No. 139/2014 (Implementing Rules, IR, within the Annexes of this regulation). Besides that, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) publishes Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC), Certification Specification (CS) and Guidance Material (GM) to provide further details for the implementation of the requirements and the demonstration of compliance.
This 2-day training course will provide participants with a working knowledge of European Law, and EASA’s structure, activities and rulemaking process. It will also cover, specifically: Aerodrome requirements for Authorities (Part-ADR.AR), Organisation (Part-ADR.OR) and Operations (Part-ADR.OPS) as well as Certification Specifications for Aerodrome Design (CS-ADR-DSN). Moreover, the handling of deviations through flexibility tools (SC, ELOS, DAAD) will be highlighted.
Participants will learn how to navigate through the key requirements and to understand their impact for aerodrome operators and competent authorities.
Within 2 days, you will be introduced to the key requirements and structure of the Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, Regulation (EU) No. 139/2014 and its Implementing Rules (IR) as well as Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM). Amongst others, this includes EU/EASA requirements for the aerodrome management (e.g. a summary of safety management system (SMS) and compliance monitoring requirements). On completion of the course, participants will be able to navigate their way through the EU/EASA requirements for aerodromes and contribute effective interpretations to their own business and in the workplace.

Trainer
Tina Werner-Huynh
Tina holds a Master of Science in Aeronautical Engineering and has further specialised in aerodrome compliance with a focus on EU and international requirements (Reg. (EU) No 139/2014, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, ICAO Annex 14 etc.). These competencies combined, enable her to assist aerodromes within their certification process and compliance monitoring activities.
As a former member of airsight’s consulting team and Aerodrome Certification department, she supported aerodrome operators worldwide by conducting compliance checks of the airside infrastructure (incl. inspections) and by auditing the aerodromes’ organisation and operations. Furthermore, her tasks encompassed the review and creation of aerodrome-related documents such as manuals, procedures and training material.
For airsight, Tina successfully carried out projects for several airports in Germany, Cameroon, Luxembourg, Serbia, Saudi Arabia and many more. For example, she audited the Nominated Persons of a larger German Airport regarding the EU/EASA regulations – a task of several months requiring a profound knowledge of the applicable requirements as well as project management skills.
Currently, Tina works for an international airport where she is a member of the EASA Compliance department.
