The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has published a new revision of the Easy Access Rules for Standardised European Rules of the Air (EAR for SERA).
This Revision from December 2024 consolidates the amendments to:
- the operating rules on the use of Air Traffic Management and Air Navigation Services (ATM/ANS) systems and constituents in the Single European Sky airspace (Regulation (EU) 2023/1772);
- the relevant ICAO provisions and radio communication failure procedure (including the deletion to the supplement to the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2024/404);
- the related Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material (AMC & GM) (ED Decision 2024/007/R ); and
- the requirements for the operation of manned aircraft with a vertical take-off and landing capability (Regulation (EU) 2024/1111).
Following the adoption by the European Commission of a comprehensive regulatory package for drones and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)-capable aircraft (VCA), this publication incorporates into the EAR for SERA the amendments from that package related to SERA, as introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1111. Further Easy Access Rules containing amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1111 to other regulations (e.g. EAR for Air Operations, for Aircrew, and for ATM/ANS — Provision of Services) as well as amendments to the other regulations in this package will be published shortly on the EASA website.
The EAR for SERA are available as a pdf in an easy-to-read format with advanced navigation features through links and bookmarks, as a dynamic online publication with filters and search functions for simple navigation using computers, tablets, and mobile phones, and in an xml format with machine-readable content.
As the publication is generated through the eRules platform, it will be updated regularly to incorporate further changes and evolutions to its content.
