PREAMBLE
JAR-OPS 1
JAR-OPS 1 will consist of 19 Subparts. However, the first published version does not contain Subpart Q (Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements) and where all Subpart Q material should be located is shown as 'Reserved'. Until, or unless, Subpart Q is adopted, the existing national regulations governing Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements will apply.
Where reference is made in JAR-OPS 1 to other JAR codes which have not yet been implemented (e.g. JAR-FCL) the equivalent existing national regulations will apply until such time as the referenced code has been implemented.
SUBPART A - APPLICABILITY
JAR-OPS 1.001 Applicability (See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.00.)
(a) JAR-OPS Part 1 prescribes requirements applicable to the operation of any civil aeroplane for the purpose of commercial air transportation by any operator whose principal place of business is in a JAA Member State. JAR-OPS I does not apply to aeroplanes when used in military, customs and police services.
(b) The requirements in JAR-OPS Part 1 are applicable:
(1) For operators of aeroplanes over 10 tonnes Maximum Take-Off Mass or a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of' 20 or more, or with mixed fleets of aeroplanes above and below this discriminant, no later than 1 April 1998 unless otherwise indicated.
(2) For operators of all other aeroplanes, no later than 1 April 1999 unless otherwise indicated.

FOREWORD
1. The Civil Aviation Authorities of certain European countries have agreed common comprehensive and detailed aviation requirements, referred to as the Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR), with a view to minimising Type Certification problems on joint ventures, to facilitate the export and import of aviation products. to make it easier :or maintenance carried out in one European country to be accepted by the Civil Aviation Authority in another European country and to regulate commercial air transport operations.
2. The JAR are recognised by the Civil Aviation Authorities of participating countries as an acceptable basis :or showing compliance with their national airworthiness codes.
3. The JAR for Approved Maintenance Organisations. JAR-145, is based upon the format, and where appropriate the content, of FAR Parts 43 and 145 of the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States of America.
4. (CAO Annex 6 has been selected to provide the basic structure of JAR-OPS, the JAR for Air Operator Certificate, but with additional sub-division where considered appropriate. The content of Annex 6 has been used and added to where necessary by making use of existing European regulations and the Federal Aviation Requirements of the United States of America where acceptable.
5. JAR-OPS has been issued with no National Variants. it may be felt that the document does not contain all of the detailed compliance and interpretative information which some Civil Aviation Authorities and Industry organisations would like to see. However, it has been accepted that JAR-OPS should be applied in practice and the lessons learned embodied in future amendments. The Civil Aviation Authorities of the JAA are therefore committed to early amendment in the light of experience. Indeed, it is anticipated that some amendment will take place during the transition period from adoption to full implementation.
6. Future development of the requirements of JAR-OPS. including the commitment in Paragraph 5, will be in accordance with the JAA's Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) procedures. These procedures allow for the amendment of JAR-OPS to be proposed by the Civil Aviation Authority of any of the participating countries and by any organisation represented on the Joint Steering Assembly.
7. The Civil Aviation Authorities have agreed they should not unilaterally initiate amendment of their national codes without having made a proposal for amendment of JAR-OPS in accordance with ; the agreed procedure.
8. Definitions and abbreviations of terms used in JAR-OPS that are considered generally applicable are contained in JAR-1, Definitions and Abbreviations. However, definitions and abbreviations of terms used in JAR-OPS that are specific to a Subpart of JAR-OPS are normally given in the Subpart concerned or, exceptionally, in the associated compliance or interpretative material.
9. Amendments to the text in JAR-OPS are usually issued initially as Orange Paper' Amendments. Orange Paper amendments are pages containing revised paragraphs, following NPA adoption. The issue of such pages avoids the need to re-paginate whole Subparts and are a clear method of ;identifying new texts. These show an effective date and have the same status and applicability as JAR-OPS from that date. When Orange Paper Amendments are incorporated into the printed text, this will be accomplished by means of a 'Change'.
10. New, amended and corrected text will be enclosed within heavy brackets until a subsequent 'Change' is issued.
