3.8 To whom should organisations report occurrences?

| Key principle Organisations are required to report occurrences to their competent authority. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

In most cases, the competent authority is the one which has certified or approved the [organisation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/organisation).

| Examples: Design organisations approved by EASA: EASA is the competent authority. Air operators certified by a Member State: that Member State is the competent authority. In a situation where an organisation has two AOC under two different States (State A and B), it shall report occurrences involving [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) operating under the State A AOC to State A competent authority and occurrences involving aircraft operating under the State B AOC to State B competent authority. |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

For organisations which are not certified or approved, the competent authority is the State in which the organisation is established.

| Example: A ground handling organisation reports its occurrences under Regulation 376/2014 to the State in which it is established. |
