Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

0.1 Purpose
This Administrative Guidance Material (AGM) describes the process of applying for and
obtaining an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) to conduct commercial air transport operations
under European Operations (EU OPS). The certification process may appear to be a complex
undertaking, particularly to a “first-time” operator. This AGM provides basic information
applicable to the certification process.
There are various methods acceptable for the purpose of establishing Operations Manuals. This
AGM does not deal with these possible methods but will assist the applicant in completing the
“five phase certification process” with minimal delays and complications. Additional information
will be found in the related documentation as referenced under paragraph 2 and 3 below.
0.2 Related Regulations
Appendix 4 shows a list of related regulations applicable to the AOC first certification process.
0.3 Related Material and Documents
For certain areas (e.g. some subchapters of Operations Manuals) ACAA publishes additional
Guidance Material or sample chapters. These documents provide more information for specific
subjects.
In addition ACAA publishes Operational Directives (OD) for particular areas of published
regulations in order to clarify or define the relevant issues in more detail where required.
0.4 Background
To conduct Commercial Air Transport Operations under Albanian and Council Regulations
(EEC) 1008/2008, an operator must be a citizen as defined in the Aviation Law (to be confirmed
with form 54.045). The ACAA recognizes the responsibility of Commercial Air Transport
Operators to provide air transportation with the highest possible degree of safety in the public
interest. The certification process is designed to ensure that prospective AOC holders
understand and are capable of fulfilling this duty. When satisfactorily completed, the certification
process should ensure that the operator is able to comply with the Albanian Aviation Law, ACAA
regulations, and the international standards pertaining to the operation of aircraft as published in
relevant ANNEXES to the convention on international civil aviation organization (ICAO).
There are five phases in the air operator certification process defined. Each phase is described
in sufficient detail to provide a general understanding of the entire certification process. The five
phases are:
(1) Pre-application
(2) Formal Application
(3) Document Evaluation
(4) Inspection and Demonstration
(5) Certification
In some cases, the guidance and suggested sequence of events in this AGM may not be
entirely appropriate. In such situations, the ACAA and the operator should proceed in a manner
that considers existing conditions and circumstances. The operator, however, should not expect
to be certificated until the ACAA is assured that the Albanian aviation law, its Civil Aviation
Regulations and the applicable EU regulations will be complied with in an appropriate and
continuing manner.
AGM Prepared by Igli Larashi / 2015 all rights reserved LEP
5. Air Operator Certificate Guidance
The five phases are to be seen as steps. In order to continue the certification process, the
previous phase shall be completed. Therefore no continuation of the certification process will be
undertaken if not all points, articles and individual tasks are completed in the previous
certification phase.

PHASE
The Advisory Guidance Material (AGM) has been written to give an overview about the Air
Operator Certificate (AOC) 5 phase certification process in general. The 5 phase certification
process is a standard published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and
known by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Each phase must be completed before
starting the next one.
An application for an AOC is a time consuming and expensive work. This work is very often
underestimated. The Albanian Authority of Civil Aviation (ACAA) accepts an AOC application by
EU OPS standards only. All application forms must be duly signed by the people requested in
original, electronic signature are not yet accepted.
The project may be delayed because of other applications already in progress or due to the
quality of the submissions or missing parts. Even if one of the proposed post holders has
missed the necessary score in the assessment, a project could get further delay until all
management personnel has been accepted.
If an applicant has the need for further information, please write to the following address:
Albanian Civil Aviation Authority (info@acaa.gov.al)
1 Pre-certification Phase
The operator is informed by the ACAA to acquire the required information through the
official website in order to follow the available guidance material. If the prospective
operator intends to proceed with certification, ACAA Form 44.20 and EASA Form Four
related to the intended management functions (e.g. post holders) shall be mailed to the
applicant or downloaded by the applicant from the official ACAA website. An instruction
for completion of the Form 44.20 is to be found on separate publication. The Form
44.20 and all EASA Form Four should be completed, signed by the prospective
operator, and returned to ACAA Certification. Additionally the operator will submit the
business plan, the documents for proof of financial background and sufficient cash flow,
the plan of intended infrastructure, a presentation of the network and a written
statement of fulfilling the required legal matters.
EU OPS (OPS 1.175, Appendix 2 to OPS 1.175) establishes basic management
positions and the minimum qualifications for air operators proposing to conduct
commercial air transportation operations. Individuals assigned to the required
management positions are expected to have a thorough knowledge of the national and
international regulations, operating provisions (ACJ OPS 1.175). This attachment
(EASA Form Four) must contain resumes of the qualifications, licenses (including
AGM Prepared by Igli Larashi / 2015 all rights reserved LEP

license numbers), ratings, and aviation experience/education for each of the following
positions (CV), or their equivalent:
Accountable Manager (ACM)
Quality Manager (QM)
Post Holder Flight Operations (PFO)
Post Holder Ground Operations (PGO)
Post Holder Crew Training (PCT)
Continuing Airworthiness Manager (CAM)
Deputy Accountable Manager (DACM)
Deputy Quality Manager (DQM)
Deputy Post Holder Flight Operations (DPFO)
Deputy Post Holder Ground Operations (DPGO)
Deputy Post Holder Crew Training (DPCT)
Deputy continuing Airworthiness Manager (DCAM)
ACAA personnel will review the Form 44.20, Form 4 and all other submitted documents.
If the information is incomplete or erroneous, the forms will be returned to the
prospective operator with the reasons for its return. If the information is complete and
acceptable, the ACAA will invite the post holder and deputy post holder candidates to
the next available assessment session, where the candidates will undergo the
assessment process.
The ACAA will evaluate the financial background of the operator and its legal aspect,
will assess the operator’s business plan and evaluate the availability of the necessary
infrastructure and logistic.
Note
Only after all the above mentioned pre-requisites are met and found acceptable,
continuation of this process will be granted.
The purpose of the pre-application meeting is to confirm the information on the Form
44.20 and to provide critical certification information to the applicant. It is imperative that
the operator’s Accountable Manager and accepted post holders and deputy post
holders attend the pre-application meeting and be prepared to discuss in general terms
the plans and specific aspects of the proposed operation. Many problems can be
avoided by discussing all aspects of the proposed operation and the specific
requirements, which must be met to be certificated as an air operator.
It is important to establish good working relationships and clear understandings
between the ACAA and the operator’s representatives. The ACAA recognizes that a
wide range of capabilities and expertise exists among operators. This background
experience will be considered by the ACAA and adjusted to during these initial
meetings.
(1) To help promote understanding throughout the certification process, an application
information package will be provided when requested or latest at the pre-application
meeting.
AGM Prepared by Igli Larashi / 2015 all rights reserved LEP
7. Air Operator Certificate Guidance
EU OPS specifies that an application for an AOC shall be made in a form and manner
acceptable to the Authority; and containing any information the Authority requires the
applicant to submit. It is important to understand the minimum documentation necessary
to be considered acceptable for a formal application. Formal application must be made
on a form provided by the Authority (44.20) and by a letter requesting certification as an
air operator. The Accountable Manager must sign the form and letter. The submitted
letter should include a statement that the letter serves as formal application for an Air
Operator Certificate.
Schedule of Events / Implementation Schedule: The schedule of events is a key
document that lists items, activities, programs, and aircraft and/or facility acquisitions
that must be accomplished or made ready for the ACAA’s inspection before certification.
It should include dates when the crewmembers will start company indoctrination
procedures and/or training. In addition, the schedule of events should include dates
when maintenance personnel training will start; when maintenance facilities will be
ready for the ACAA’s inspection; when each of the required manuals will be available
for evaluation; when aircraft will be ready for inspection; when terminal facilities will be
ready for inspection and demonstration flights are planned to be performed. These
estimated dates must be logical in terms of sequence. For example, the estimated date
for crewmember basic company procedures indoctrination ground training to begin
should be after the date that sections of the company manuals pertinent to crewmember
performance will be completed and submitted. The temporary time schedule shows the
operator’s intention of time management. Nevertheless a definite implementation
schedule which will replace the temporary schedule will be adapted and agreed later
during the formal application phase in relation to realistic time management and
available human resources. The definite implementation schedule is subject to
acceptance by the ACAA project manager PM and is then the agreed document during
the entire certification process.
Operations Manuals System: These manuals, which have to be issued in separate parts
for specific users, contain policies, instructions, information and duties and
responsibilities, for the safe operation and airworthy airplanes. EU OPS Subpart P and
EASA Part M Subpart G, prescribes the content and structure of these manuals. The
entire manual system shall be completely developed at the time of formal application.
It is recognized that aircraft acquisition, facility and subcontractor arrangements and
certain training and checking program elements may not be fully developed at the time
of formal application. However, the Operations Manual Part D, Training, established in
accordance with the decided Training Concept must be completed to the maximum
extend as possible. The company initial training and checking curriculum portion of the
OM-D must be attached to the formal application letter.
Documents of Purchase, Leases, Contracts, and/or Letters of Intent: These attachments
should provide evidence that the operator is in the process of actively procuring aircraft,
facilities, and services appropriate to the type of operation proposed. If formal contracts
are not completed, letters or other documents showing preliminary agreements or intent
will suffice until such date as determined by the Authority.

Compliance List: This listing contains all applicable articles and paragraphs of EU OPS,
where the Operator states that he is compliant with the respective requirement.
Additionally the list indicates the chapters and/or subchapters within the Operations
Manual System, where the appropriate compliance is described. The fully completed list
of compliance ensures each applicable regulatory requirement has been adequately
addressed in the appropriate manuals, programs, and/or procedures. Furthermore on
the OM compliance list, where applicable, formal acceptance and approvals are
included.
The head of section Certification Flight Operations defines, a project manager (PM) who
will lead the mentioned project and guide the operator through the whole certification
process.
2 Formal Application Phase
The formal application shall be submitted to ACAA as early as possible.
The ACAA will review the application to determine that it contains the required
information, documents and attachments. If there are omissions or errors, the formal
application and all attachments will be returned with a letter outlining the reasons for its
return. If the operator has a good understanding of the requirements, the formal
application should be of sufficient quality to allow any omission, deficiency, or open
question to be resolved during the formal application meeting.
The Operator’s Accountable Manager, Quality Manager, Post Holder and Deputy Post
Holder personnel shall attend the formal application meeting. The purpose of the
meeting is to present the project manager, delegated inspectors, experts and specialists
and to discuss the formal application and resolve omissions, deficiencies, or answer
questions from either party. For example, this meeting may be used to resolve
questions concerning the applicant’s package or scheduling date conflicts, or to ensure
the applicant understands the certification process. This meeting should also be used to
reinforce open communication and working relationships.
If the formal application meeting is successful, the operator is provided with a letter
acknowledging receipt and acceptance of the package by the project manager or head
of section. The ACAA’s acceptance of a formal application does not constitute approval
or acceptance of individual attachments.
3 Document Evaluation Phase
AGM Prepared by Igli Larashi / 2015 all rights reserved LEP
9. Air Operator Certificate Guidance
After the formal application has been accepted, ACAA inspectors will begin a detailed
evaluation of all submitted manuals, forms and documents. Inspection of the Operations
Manual System may, depending on the size of operation, be done on the whole manual
or on different parts at different times with different experts. The ACAA will endeavor to
complete these evaluations in accordance with the agreed schedule of events. If a
manual or document is incomplete or deficient, or if non-compliance with the regulations
or safe operating practices is detected, the manual or document will be returned for
corrective action. If the manuals and documents are satisfactory, the content and the
structure will be accepted, as required. Formal acceptance and approval will be granted
on specific documentation and will be effective only after the operator has received the
respective documentation, signed by the ACAA and in accordance with the effective
date. Nevertheless the responsibility of all documented and published contents of any
company manual or document remains with the nominated Accountable Manager and
the accepted Post Holders and their Deputies.
Document Evaluation Phase is completed with the formal acceptance of the content and
structure of the Operations Manual System, issued on different documents. The initial
document compliance statement is the prerequisite to continue to the Inspection and
Demonstration Phase.
4 Demonstrations and Inspection Phase
Prior conducting the Inspection and Demonstration Phase, it is expected, that the
applicant for an AOC has implemented all the procedures and operating practices as
described in the Operations Manual System and that the Quality System has
successfully reviewed all different fields of operation by the means of audits and
inspections ICAO & EU regulations require an operator to demonstrate its ability to
comply with regulations and safe operating practices before beginning actual revenue
operations. These demonstrations include actual performance of activities and/or
operations while being observed by ACAA inspectors. This includes on-site evaluations
of aircraft maintenance equipment and support facilities. During these demonstrations
and inspections, the ACAA evaluates the effectiveness of the policies, methods,
procedures, and instructions as described in the operator’s manuals and other
documents. Emphasis is placed on the operator’s management effectiveness during this
phase. Deficiencies will be brought to the attention of the operator and corrective action
must be taken before entering the certification phase.
Although the document evaluation and the demonstration and inspection phases have
been discussed separately in this AGM, these phases may overlap in the training
aspect, or may be accomplished simultaneously in actual practice. The following list
provides examples of the type of items which are evaluated during the inspection and
demonstration phase.
Quality System
Facilities and Infrastructure
AGM Prepared by Igli Larashi / 2015 all rights reserved LEP
10. Air Operator Certificate Guidance
Training and checking (classroom, simulators, aircraft, flight and ground personnel
training).
Operational control and supervision

Company communications procedures
Station facilities (equipment, procedures, personnel, fuelling/defueling, de-icing,
technical data).
Document control (control, analysis and storage of records, flight documents,
additional information and data).
CPM Contract Procedure Manual

CAME – Continuing Airworthiness Maintenance Exposition
The effectiveness of Emergency Response
Complete Demonstration Flights. Includes full-scale simulation of revenue operations
to demonstrate the ability to operate independently, safely, and in compliance with all
applicable EU OPS, including diversions and/or landing on route for abnormal and
emergency situations.
Note
An applicant for an air operator certificate (AOC) may concurrently seek ACAA
approval of its maintenance organization (EASA Part 145). The applicant needs to
co-ordinate the progress of both certification projects. Both certification projects
must be in the Inspection and Demonstration Phase at the same time. This is
because the Demonstration Flights require the applicant to demonstrate to the
ACAA all proposed flight and ground operations.
5 Final Certification Phase
When corrective actions out of findings given by the demonstration and inspection
phase are completed and closed, the ACAA will issue the final compliance statement
and prepare Subpart G approval and the Air Operator Certificate (AOC). The operations
are then specified, listed and approved within the operations specification document
(OPS SPECS). The head of section signs the Subpart G approval and the AOC and
produces thereafter the operating license with its limitations and expiry dates for the
applicant.
The certificate holder is responsible for continued compliance with regulations according
his authorizations, limitations, and specifications. The process for changes, variations or
amending of specifications is similar to the certification process. The ACAA is
responsible for conducting periodic inspections and audits of the certificate holder’s
operation to ensure continued compliance with the regulations, safe operating practices
and airworthy airplanes. Nevertheless the compliance with all laws and regulation
remains at all times with the operator.
AGM Prepared by Igli Larashi / 2015 all rights reserved LEP
11. Air Operator Certificate Guidance
6 Costs and Time Schedule
A complete certification process is time consuming for the applicant and the authority.
The costs and the time schedule vary very much on the quality of the submitted
manuals and the resource available with the ACAA. According to the Albanian Air Code
indicates a maximal charge of EUR XXXXXX for the first issue of an AOC. Additional
maximal costs of EUR XXXXX will arise from the first issue of an operating license and
from the Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization Section a maximum
amount of EUR XXXXX will be charged. The Airworthiness Section will charge for the
technical evaluation and the registry of the aircraft a separate amount. From the
experience in the industry the work for a first certification of the operational part the
amount of 600 working hours must be calculated.
A first estimate for the time schedule might be possible after the cursory review at the
beginning of the Formal Application Phase. At this point a first estimate about the time
schedule and costs might be possible. Intermediate payments on a monthly basis will
be invoiced to the applicant.
