ED Decision 2014/006/R INSTRUCTIONS The ADT may be used by the applicant to include, in addition to the listed elements, a detailed list of differences between the base and the candidate aircraft. For the purpose of filling in the aircraft difference table to identify differences between the base and the candidate aircraft, the following instructions should apply: 1. Differences to any of the specified determination elements should be identified in column ‘Existing differences from the base aircraft’; 2. Identified differences should be desc ribed in column ‘Description of identified differences’; 3. The corresponding sub - column(s) should be marked in the part ‘Impact assessment’, as relevant to the assessed element.

GM2 to Appendix 1 to CS CCD.200(b)(1) Aircraft difference table

ED Decision 2 020/015/R IMPACT ASSESSMENT (a) ‘Impact assessment (a)’ represents a provision required from the applicant and its mandatory application by the end user.

1. The column ‘Impact on description of the element’ should be marked when there is an identified diff erence information — such difference needs to be provided to the user (cabin crew), e.g.

the location of the manual water shut - off valve, or the location of the emergency lighting control button on the cabin management system panel. The column implies a kn owledge requirement.

2. The column ‘Impact on operation of the element’ should be marked if the identified difference affects the operation of the element, e.g. the power assist mechanism on a door/exit, a detaching and separating slide raft from the aircr aft, the installation of a canopy, the controls related to evacuation, smoke, or emergency lights on the cabin crew control panel. The column implies a knowledge requirement and may imply a hands - on training requirement.

GM3 to Appendix 1 to CS CCD.200(b)(1) Aircraft difference table

ED Decision 2020/015/R IMPACT ASSESSMENT (b) ‘Impact assessment (b)’ represents a provision at the request of the applicant and its mandatory application by the end user. The applicant may elect to provide the information to support the operator in identifying those areas which may require a review of procedures by the operator in relation to the identified difference.

1. The column ‘Potential impact on procedures’ should be ma rked to indicate that operators, in relation to the identified difference, may need to assess whether their procedures need to be amended, or new procedures need to be developed, e.g. for a built - in fire - extinguishing system, evacuation alarm alert indicat ions, or the capacity and overload of a slide raft. The column implies a knowledge requirement attained by aided instruction.

CS CCD.210 Determination of a new type

ED Decision 2020/015/R (a) The candidate aircraft is determined to be a new type: (1) if so substantiated in the compliance demonstration and approved by the Agency ; or (2) as a result of the determination process required by CS CCD.200 .

(b) The candidate aircraft is determined to be a new type if the t ype - specific elements of CS CCD.205(b)(1) and (b)(2) are different from those of the base aircraft.

(c) The following need not be a factor in determining the candidate aircraft as a new type unless as specified in (d): (1) one or several doors/exits of the same operation as any door/exit that is installed on the base aircraft are added or removed ; or (2) doors/exits are derated; or (3) self - help exits (such as Type lll and Type lV, as per CS - 25).

(d) If no differences are identified in the type - specific elements of CS CCD.205(b)(1) and (b)(2) , but differences are identified in the type - specific elements of CS CCD.205(b)(3) or (b)(4) , or in both, and are combined with one or more of the differences specified in (c), the impact of those differences is assessed and the determination of the cand idate aircraft as a new type is considered.

(e) When identifying differences in accordance with CS CCD.205(b)(2)(i) , if the number, location and operation of doors/exits is the same but the type (as per CS - 25) of the i nstalled door/exit is different from that of the base aircraft, the candidate aircraft need not be determined as a new type.

the applicant

ED Decision 2020/015/R TRAINING LEVELS The cabin crew training needs that are required for a new type, a variant, or the same variant specified by CS CCD.215 (b), may be addressed through training levels, such as levels 1 to 4 below: Powered by EASA eRules Page 22 of 30 | Jan 2021 Easy Access Rules for Cabin Crew Data SUBPART C — TYPE - SPECIFIC DATA (CS - CCD) (Issue 2) FOR CABIN CREW Level 1: Applicable to aircraft with differences that can be adequately addressed through self - instruction. Level 1 training requires a certain level of knowledge of the cabin crew such that, once appropriate information is provided, their understanding and compliance can be as sumed to take place. Compliance with Level 1 training is typically achieved by methods such as the issuance of page revisions to the operating manual, and the dissemination of operating bulletins for cabin crew or difference handouts to describe minor diff erences between aircraft.

Level 2: Applicable to aircraft with system or procedural differences that can be appropriately addressed through aided instruction. At Level 2, aided instruction is appropriate to ensure crew understanding, emphasise issues, prov ide a standardised method of presentation of material, or aid retention of the material following training. Level - 2 aided instruction typically employs slide/tape presentations, computer - based training (CBT), stand - up lectures or videotapes.

Level 3: Appli cable to aircraft with differences that can only be addressed through the use of devices capable of providing system training (i.e. hands - on training). Training devices are required to supplement the aided instruction to ensure the attainment or retention of skills and abilities to accomplish more complex tasks, which are usually related to the operation of particular aircraft systems. Training devices for Level 3 training include emergency evacuation procedure trainers, fire and smoke trainers, cabin crew panel trainers, etc. When dedicated trainers are not available, Level 3 training requires hands - on training using the aircraft.

Level 4: Applicable to aircraft with differences that can only be addressed through the completion of aircraft type - specific tra ining; those differences determine the aircraft as a new aircraft type for cabin crew operation. Level 4 always requires hands - on training, using either dedicated emergency evacuation procedure trainers or the aircraft, as well as providing aided instructi on.

GM1 CCD.400 Cabin aspects of special emphasis

ED Decision 2020/015/R Cabin aspects of special emphasis (CASE) pertain to elements that are specific to a given aircraft type, variant or aircraft modification. Such elements have a potential impact on safety and must, in accordance with CS CCD.400 , be properly emphasised during training to prevent knowledge - based misunderstandings or skill - based errors.

The following criteria could be considered as determining factors for the development of CASE: 1. the presence of a novel and unique design or operational characteristic that is applicable to an aircraft type, variant or aircraft modification; and 2. specific knowledge and skills that are required for the safe operation of that novel and unique design or operational characteristic.
