1.7What type of aircraft is covered under the Regulation?

1.7 What type of aircraft is covered under the Regulation? Regulation 376/2014 applies to occurrences and other safety-related information involving civil aircraft, with the exception of aircraft referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 (Article 3(2)). The concept of civil aircraft in the area of design and production is understood as relating to the Type Certificate and not necessarily to the type of operation that an individual aircraft (registration) performed at the time of the occurrence.

Example: If an occurrence occurred during non-civil operations (e.g. military operations) and reveals an unsafe condition in the civil Type Certificate of the aircraft, this occurrence should be considered within the scope of Regulation 376/2014 and should, therefore, be reportable under the mandatory reporting scheme.

The same criteria apply in other fields for cases where there is potential impact on safety of civil aviation, though no civil aircraft was directly involved in the occurrence.

Example: If there is an airspace infringement of military or Annex II aircraft, the occurrence should be considered within the scope of this Regulation.

Member States have the possibility to extend the application of this Regulation to occurrences and other safety-related information involving the aircraft referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 (Article 3(2)).
