That's correct Hawker, but Part-NCC is only the EU's response to ICAO Annext 6 Part 2, which instructs all operators over 5600kg worldwide to introduce higher standards; OM, fatigue monitoring, SMS etc
Word is EASA have overdone it a bit, versus their
required minimum compliance to the ICAO Annex, and IOM - who are indeed not part of EASA - are adopting an intentionally very helpful approach by producing their own template OM very soon. Each OPR can then tweak and submit and it will meet Annex 6 requirements, albeit they have said it may also require an additional annex for individual national requirements as, of course, different countries interpret EASA AMC and GM differently
The grey area - as per your link - is what is EASA's mandate to legislate over non-EASA registered aircraft just because they reside within the EU?
The first SAFA ramp check August 2016 will be exciting
