(b)The aerodrome operator should establish procedures to be used for reporting to the competent authority and any other organisation required to report to, which should include:

(1)a description of the applicable requirements for reporting;

(2)a description of the reporting mechanism, including reporting forms, means and deadlines;

(3)safeguards to ensure confidentiality of the reporter and protection of personal data; and

(4)responsibilities of the organisations and personnel responsible for reporting.

(c)Such procedures should be included in the aerodrome manual and the respective manual of the apron management services provider.

GENERAL

(a)Where the aerodrome operator is also certified to provide additional services within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and the delegated and implementing acts adopted on the basis thereof:

(1)the aerodrome operator may establish an integrated occurrence reporting system covering all certificates held; and

(2)single reports for occurrences covering all certificates held should only be provided if all the following conditions are met:

(i)the report includes all relevant information from the perspective of the different organisation certificates held;

(ii)the report addresses all relevant specific mandatory data fields and clearly identifies all certificate holders for which the report is made; and

(iii)the competent authority for all certificates is the same and such single reporting was agreed with that competent authority.

(b)The aerodrome operator should assign responsibility to one or more suitably qualified persons with clearly defined authority, for coordinating action on occurrences and for initiating any necessary further investigation and follow-up activity.

(c)If more than one person is assigned such responsibility, the aerodrome operator should identify a single person to act as the main focal point for ensuring that a single reporting channel is established to the accountable manager. This should in particular apply to aerodrome operators holding one or more additional organisation certificates within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and the delegated and implementing acts adopted on the basis thereof, where the occurrence reporting system is fully integrated with that required under the additional certificate(s) held.
