Sources & method

How the monitor works

The two sections answer different questions. Each keeps implementing rules and AMC/GM amendments in their proper source documents.

01 / Implementing rules

Compare Annex VII

When you open or refresh the monitor, it checks which consolidated Aircrew Regulation edition EUR-Lex currently lists. If a newer edition is available, it extracts the numbered Part-ORA points in Annex VII and compares their wording against the June 2020 standalone edition.

You can filter the changed points and inspect both texts side by side. A wording difference signals that you should review the official provision; it does not by itself establish when or how a requirement applies.

02 / AMC & GM

Review EASA decisions

The separate AMC/GM section checks EASA’s publication list when the page opens or you refresh it. It shows the marked changes extracted from Part-ORA Issue 1, Amendments 8 (2025) and 9 (2026), including the affected ORA points.

If EASA lists a newer publication whose paragraphs have not been mapped, the monitor marks it for review. It does not treat a newly listed decision as already incorporated into the saved extracts.

03 / Source status

Know what was checked

Each section identifies whether its live source check succeeded and shows its check time. If EUR-Lex is unavailable, the implementing rule section clearly labels its saved 30 April 2026 comparison as dated. The AMC/GM section likewise distinguishes saved amendment extracts from a current EASA publication check.

The monitor checks when a visitor opens or refreshes the page. Updates can only be reflected after the official source publishes them and its data can be retrieved.

Confirm exact wording, amendments, effective dates, and applicability in the linked official documents. The comparisons help direct your review; they are not a consolidated legal text or an interpretation from a regulator.
