EASA-Regulations for Flight testing

[Elias1308]

Hello,



I found the following passage in an EASA-FTOM-Guide from 2018:

“When drafting the FTOM, organisations should bear in mind that when an aircraft is operated under a Permit to Fly (PtF), the operation is regulated completely by Part21. Other normal regulations, such as Part-FCL or Part-CAT, do not apply.”

Is that still the case for the new Basic Regulation?

Does that mean that the Basic Regulation never applies to any flight testing activity?



Thanks in advance!
