1 day ago PublicI have the following question about an ambiguity between the Cover Regulation Article 2 §7/SPO.GEN.005 and SPO.SPEC.MCF:
- Article 2 §7 considers Maintenance Check Flights as a specialised activity
"‘specialised operation’ means any operation, other than commercial air transport operation, where the aircraft is used for specialised activities such as agriculture, construction, photography, surveying, observation and patrol, aerial advertisement, maintenance check flights"
=> My French SPO operator declares MCF as an activity and starts writing an SOP about it.- Although SPO.GEN.005 (a) says that maintenance check flights are a specialised activity, the list under GM1 SPO.GEN.005 does not mention maintenance check flights as an specialised activity.
Under SPO.SPEC.MCF an SOP is not required.=> The question is if MCF are a specialised activity an SOP is required by SPO.OP.230.
But under SPO.SPEC.MCF, an SOP is not required.Can somebody resolve this ambiguity?
Would it be a correct conclusion if you give priority to SPO.SPEC which requires no SOP for MCF?Thank you, Guy Wouters

Several challenging situations like that are presented in the March 2024 edition of NASA CALLBACK, offering again the reader a chance to “interact” with the information given in a selection of ASRS reports.
In “The First Half of the Story,” you will find report excerpts describing an event or situation up to a point where a specific decision must be made, an immediate action must be taken, or a non-normal condition must be actively managed. You may then exercise your own judgment to make a decision, determine a possible course of action, or devise a plan that might best resolve the situation...
