EASA Environmental Requirements

In line with Regulation (EU) No 598/2014 Article 7(2), EASA has been designated as the responsible entity for collecting and making available aircraft noise certificate (or the equivalent noise documentation) data of individual aircraft operating at Union airports. Read more here. The World Fuel Trip Support team has collected the information below for you to review.

The World Fuel Trip Support team has compiled information on how to navigate these regulatory updates, and is available for consultation. If you have any questions, contact World Fuel Trip Support at [email protected].

Objectives of the Regulation

The objectives of the regulation are (Regulation (EU) No598/2014 Article 1 2 (b)):

  • To facilitate the achievement of specific noise abatement objectives, including health aspects, at the level of individual airports, while respecting relevant Union rules, in particular those laid down in Directive 2002/49/EC, and the legislation within each Member State
     
  • To enable the use of operating restrictions in accordance with the Balanced Approach so as to achieve the sustainable development of the airport and air traffic management network capacity from a gate-to-gate perspective

Registering Your Aircraft

Aircraft operators of certain aircraft must register on the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s new environmental portal.

The regulation is applicable to civil fixed-wing aircraft with a maximum certificated take-off mass of 34 000 kg or more, or with a certificated maximum internal accommodation for the aircraft type in question consisting of 19 passenger seats or more, excluding any seats for crew only. (Regulation (EU) No598/2014 Article 2 (1))

It applies to Part 91 and 135 operators, even though Part 135 already provide environmental information through the third-country operator (TCO) portal.

The EASA Environmental Portal is accessible to individual persons, who are employed by one of the following legal entities:

  • Competent Authority
  • EU/EEA air navigation service provider
  • EU/EEA airport operator
  • EU/EEA/EFTA or TCO aircraft operator

STEP 1B: Once the application has been completed and the applicable documents secured, the Master User shall submit the application and supporting documentation via email to: 

  • [email protected]
  • Please include in the subject line: EASA ENVIRONMENTAL PORTAL APPLICATION

Step 2: Provide Documentation Regarding Aircraft Noise

Once the aircraft operator’s registration is accepted to use the EASA Environmental Portal, EASA will send the Master User two emails

  1. One email containing the user login information with the username
  2. Another email with a temporary password


Once access has been secured to EASA Environmental Portal, the aircraft operator must provide documentation regarding aircraft noise to the portal:

  • Aircraft nationality and registration mark.
  • Noise documentation of the aircraft used, together with the associated maximum take-off weight.
  • Any modification of the aircraft which affects its noise performance, as stated on the noise documentation.


The aircraft operator can use one of the two following options when providing noise documentation:

  • Option One
    • The documentation may be a stand-alone noise certificate issued by the state of registry, reflecting the configuration details, registration marks, and noise data of the aircraft such as those specified by ICAO Annex 16 Volume I Chapter 1.
    • This option is not applicable to Canadian or US operators since these CAA’s do not issue stand-alone noise data certificates.
       
  • Option Two
    • In case it is not issued by a state of registry, the documentation may be a page/set of pages of the AFM or AOM, approved by a certificating authority containing the following information:
      • Aircraft Designation
      • Aircraft Serial Number
      • Engine Designation
      • Maximum Take-off Mass (MTOM)
      • Maximum Landing Mass (MLM)
      • Certificate of Airworthiness
      • Chapter of ICAO Annex 16 or Stage of Part 36 w/Noise Certificate levels

The FAA encourages operators to gather the following information from their AFM and/or AOM, then carry the documentation onboard in the event of a ramp inspection.


Note that noise certificates or data sheets issued by OEMs are not accepted.
