This course, “An Introduction to EASA Air Operations Regulation“, is aimed for students with an interest in the industry, professionals in other industries considering a move to aviation, or professionals and workers in the aviation industry looking for an introduction to air operations.

In this first waypoint, we will briefly explore the objectives we are trying to achieve.

First, we are adopting a modular approach to your learning. We understand that your busy life may not allow you to enter intensive courses which take considerable time and effort. So we decided to introduce a number of micro courses which are designed for you to learn the knowledge you require, and develop your skillset according to your requirements. You will be able to learn from different providers, and you will be able to build your skills profile on Raven.

Second, we will keep these courses alive through new and updated waypoints, to reflect ongoing changes in the aviation industry as these come by. Following the pandemic, a number of challenges and opportunities will change the aviation industry forever – climate change, sustainability, the evolution of drones and digitalisation – just to name a few. These factors have a direct impact on air operations, and our partners will look to develop your knowledge and skills throughout the different courses.

For different airlines, and air operators, flight operations departments represent cost centres. In other words, they are the departments which spend money. In contrast, commercial departments are trusted to generate demand, for passengers or cargo, and generate revenue. Theoretically, both sides of the air operator should work in tandem, and work together to make sure the air operator is profitable. In other words, the personnel within the airline should work together to make sure that the airline makes money.

Aviation markets are very competitive. And because of this, air operators must always seek to achieve cost efficiencies, and ways to minimise costs. However, air operators must always make sure that the operation is safe. In aviation, safety is paramount. And in air operations, we achieve the desired levels of safety by following the regulation.

What this Course is about

In this course on EASA Air Operations Regulation, we will start by defining the different authorities, the difference between an Operating License and an Air Operator Certificate, where to find the Air Operations regulation, and the difference between Implementing Rules and Soft Law.

We will then teach you how to navigate the regulation, and how to interpret rules, Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material. Finally, we will take a look at the regulation from a very broad perspective. We will not go into detail for every Annex of the regulation in this course. Our objective is to give you enough knowledge to find your way through. If you want to learn more detail in any particular area, you can refer to other RAVEN courses as required.
