Clear up on EU/EASA Ops
 

I was just wondering if someone can help me trying to understand EU Ops/Easa Ops. I have been away from flying for a couple of years and just wanted to get up to date with it all really. I have the JAR OPS in plain english book which I used a while ago and I was just seeing if this information is still valid or is it now under EU Ops or is EASA Ops now in force. As you can see I am a little confused. I am trying to find where I can download it all. If I was working for an airline all the information and rules would be in my ops manual, but which ops is my manual based upon?
Also is the Air Navigation Order now void and been taken over by the European legislation.
Just one more thing, where can I find the relevant legislation on aircraft separation minima in CAS and how to reduce the separation i.e. putting an aircraft on a radar heading?
Thanks in advance

A partial answer to your questions is that EASA's Regulation for Air Operations (EC 965/2012) came into force, replacing all that went before, on 28th October 2012.

Enjoy.

CAP 393 covers the ANO and regs.
The ANO is amended to reflect European legislation as it evolves.
Aircraft are classified as Non EASA or EASA, which governs the applicable rules to be applied.

I'm confused and I have not been away. :ugh:

In addition to the implementing rules in the regulation Capot mentions, the AMC/GM are published by EASA.

No, the UK ANO contains aspects of legislation that are not yet within Community competence. It contains carve-outs to exclude e.g. CAT operations from its scope, but it still, for now, applies to other operations.

SERA.8010 Separation minima gives the implementing rule in general terms, but not at the level of detail you're looking for. The ICAO document 4444 PANS-ATM chapters 5 and 8 contain the ICAO recommendations.

Try this, from the 'horses' mouth...

EASA Flight Standards: Regulation on Air Operations - Implementation

I read some of the paragraphs of the new additions to the EASA rules, but don't see anything related to FAA-licensed pilots and their previously unaffected operation of N-reg aircraft. Are there any changes there? Any further encroachments? Deadlines?
Thanks,
