Easy Access Rules for BalloonsEASA eRules: aviation rules for the 21st centuryRules and regulations are the core of the European Union civil aviation system. The aim of the EASAeRules project is to make them accessible in an efficient and reliable way to stakeholders.EASA eRules will be a comprehensive, single system for the drafting, sharing and storing of rules. Itwill be the single source for all aviation safety rules applicable to European airspace users. It will offereasy (online) access to all rules and regulations as well as new and innovative applications such asrulemaking process automation, stakeholder consultation, cross-referencing, and comparison withICAO and third countries’ standards.To achieve these ambitious objectives, the EASA eRules project is structured in ten modules to coverall aviation rules and innovative functionalities.The EASA eRules system is developed and implemented in close cooperation with Member States andaviation industry to ensure that all its capabilities are relevant and effective.Published September 20201Copyright notice European Union, 1998-2020Except where otherwise stated, reuse of the EUR-Lex data for commercial or non-commercial purposes is authorisedprovided the source is acknowledged (' European Union, http://eur-lex.europa.eu/, 1998-2020') 2.Cover page picture: kadawittfeldarchitektur1The published date represents the date when the consolidated version of the document was generated.2Euro-Lex, Important Legal Notice: l-notice.html.Powered by EASA eRulesPage 2 of 345 Sep 2020
