  • The EASA rulemaking procedure, and the specific measures at the disposal of the Agency (Certification specifications, Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material);
  • The main regulatory provisions contained in regulation No. 216/2008 (referred to as the basic regulation - BR), as amended by Regulations No. 1108/2009 and No. 690/2009; and
  • The responsibilities of the main players in civil aviation (ICAO, EU institutions, EASA, National Aviation Authorities, design, maintenance and production organisations, aerodromes, ATM/ANS providers, etc.).
