D. For emissions from combustion, the report shall also include the oxidation factor, unless oxidation has already been taken into account in the development of an activity-specific emission factor.
A. Data identifying the aircraft operator, including: name of the aircraft operator, its administering Member State, its address, including postcode and country and, where different, its contact address in the administering Member State, the aircraft registration numbers and types of aircraft used in the period covered by the report to perform the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator, the number and issuing authority of the air operator certificate and operating licence under which the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator were performed, address, telephone, fax and e-mail details for a contact person, and name of the aircraft owner.
B. For each type of fuel for which emissions are calculated: fuel consumption, emission factor, total aggregated emissions from all flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator, aggregated emissions from: all flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator and which departed from an aerodrome situated in the territory of a Member State and arrived at an aerodrome situated in the territory of the same Member State, all other flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator,
aggregated emissions from all flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator and which: departed from each Member State, and arrived in each Member State from a third country,
uncertainty.
the number of passengers shall be the number of persons on-board excluding crew members, an aircraft operator may choose to apply either the actual or standard mass for passengers and checked baggage contained in its mass and balance documentation for the relevant flights or a default value of 100 kg for each passenger and his checked baggage.
A. Data identifying the aircraft operator, including: name of the aircraft operator, its administering Member State, its address, including postcode and country and, where different, its contact address in the administering Member State, the aircraft registration numbers and types of aircraft used during the year covered by the application to perform the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator, the number and issuing authority of the air operator certificate and operating licence under which the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator were performed, address, telephone, fax and e-mail details for a contact person, and name of the aircraft owner.
B. Tonne-kilometre data: number of flights by aerodrome pair, number of passenger-kilometres by aerodrome pair, number of tonne-kilometres by aerodrome pair, chosen method for calculation of mass for passengers and checked baggage, total number of tonne-kilometres for all flights performed during the year to which the report relates falling within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator.
(a) the reported activity data and related measurements and calculations; (b) the choice and the employment of emission factors; (c) the calculations leading to the determination of the overall emissions; and (d) if measurement is used, the appropriateness of the choice and the employment of measuring methods.
(a) the reported data is free of inconsistencies; (b) the collection of the data has been carried out in accordance with the applicable scientific standards; and (c) the relevant records of the installation are complete and consistent.
(a) the provisions of this Directive, as well as relevant standards and guidance adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 14(1); (b) the legislative, regulatory, and administrative requirements relevant to the activities being verified; and (c) the generation of all information related to each source of emissions in the installation, in particular, relating to the collection, measurement, calculation and reporting of data.
(a) in paragraph 3, the reference to operator shall be read as if it were a reference to an aircraft operator, and in point (c) of that paragraph the reference to installation shall be read as if it were a reference to the aircraft used to perform the aviation activities covered by the report; (b) in paragraph 5, the reference to installation shall be read as if it were a reference to the aircraft operator; (c) in paragraph 6 the reference to activities carried out in the installation shall be read as a reference to aviation activities covered by the report carried out by the aircraft operator; (d) in paragraph 7 the reference to the site of the installation shall be read as if it were a reference to the sites used by the aircraft operator to perform the aviation activities covered by the report; (e) in paragraphs 8 and 9 the references to sources of emissions in the installation shall be read as if they were a reference to the aircraft for which the aircraft operator is responsible; and (f) in paragraphs 10 and 12 the references to operator shall be read as if they were a reference to an aircraft operator.
(a) all flights falling within an aviation activity listed in Annex I have been taken into account. In this task the verifier shall be assisted by timetable data and other data on the aircraft operator’s traffic including data from Eurocontrol requested by that operator; (b) there is overall consistency between aggregated fuel consumption data and data on fuel purchased or otherwise supplied to the aircraft performing the aviation activity.
