He is planning for a flight next month. ETS reporting does not commence until next year. He can come and go as he pleases without any concern for emissions reporting!

A Canadian may not know what a SAFA inspection is. In essence it is a ramp check conducted by personnel authorised to carry out inspections on behalf of EASA.

This link will let you know what will (or may) be checked.

Inspection items | Safa Guide

The link will tell you the actual checklist, instructions and legal references they use. This is worth a read for those operating in Europe, and highlights instances where EASA requirements are unenforceable due to contradiction with ICAO.

The following link shows guidance given to SAFA inspectors. It too is also worth a read as it spells out what they can, can't, should and should not do.
