An aircraft operator must apply to the regulator for a plan setting out how the aircraft operator’s aviation emissions are to be monitored for the purposes of this Order (“an emissions monitoring plan”).

An aircraft operator that has previously been issued with an emissions monitoring plan or a GGETSR emissions plan may not make an application under paragraph (1) without the agreement of the regulator (but see article 29(3)).

An application under paragraph (1) is the means by which an aircraft operator submits a monitoring plan to the regulator for approval under Article 12 of the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation 2018.

An aircraft operator must comply with the requirement in paragraph (1) before the end of the period of 42 days commencing with the day it becomes an aircraft operator.
