For organisations that have their principal place of business in a Member State, a single system may be established to meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 and its implementing acts and of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and its delegated and implementing acts.

(b)The organisation shall report to its competent authority and to the organisation responsible for the design of the aircraft or component:

(ii)in particular any accident or serious incident.

For events or conditions that affect aircraft components, the organisation shall report to the person or organisation that requested the maintenance.

(d)For organisations that do not have their principal place of business in a Member State:

(1)the initial mandatory reports shall:

(i)appropriately safeguard the confidentiality of the identity of the reporter and of the persons mentioned in the report;

(ii)be made as soon as practicable, but in any case within 72 hours after the organisation has become aware of the occurrence unless exceptional circumstances prevent this;

(iii)be made in a form and manner established by the competent authority;

(iv)contain all pertinent information about the condition known to the organisation;

(2)where relevant, a follow-up report that provides details of the actions the organisation intends to take to prevent similar occurrences in the future shall be made as soon as those actions have been identified; those follow-up reports shall:

(i)be sent to the entities referred to in points (b) and (c) to which the initial report was sent;

GENERAL

(a)Where the organisation holds one or more additional organisation certificates within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and its delegated and implementing acts:

(1)the organisation may establish an integrated occurrence reporting system covering all certificate(s) held; and

(2)single reports for occurrences should only be provided if 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 organisation should assign responsibility to one or more suitably qualified persons with clearly defined authority, for coordinating action on airworthiness occurrences and for initiating any necessary further investigation and follow-up activity.

(c)If more than one person are assigned such responsibility, the organisation 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 organisations holding one or more additional organisation certificates within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and its delegated and implementing acts where the occurrence reporting system is fully integrated with that required under the additional certificate(s) held.

MANDATORY REPORTING — GENERAL

(a)For organisations having their principal place of business in a Member State, Regulation (EU) 2015/1018 lays down a list classifying occurrences in civil aviation to be mandatorily reported. This list should not be understood as being an exhaustive collection of all issues that may pose a significant risk to aviation safety and therefore reporting should not be limited to items listed in that Regulation.

(b)AMC-20 ‘General Acceptable Means of Compliance for Airworthiness of Products, Parts and Appliances’ provides further details on occurrence reporting (AMC 20-8A).
