3.3.5.4 A Icelandic flight rules No 770/2010 state that a transmission shall be made to the appropriate air traffic services unit.  
3.6.2.2 B The Icelandic flight rules No 770/2010 contain the following provisions concerning deviations from the current flight plan.
Deviations from the current flight plan. In the event that a controlled flight deviates from its current flight plan, the following action shall be taken:
a) Deviation from track: if the aircraft is off track, action shall be taken forthwith to adjust the heading of the aircraft to regain track as soon as practicable.
c)    Deviation from true airspeed: if the sustained true airspeed at cruising level varies or is expected to vary by 5% or more from the current flight plan, the appropriate air traffic services unit shall be so informed.
d)    Change in time estimate: if the time estimate for the next applicable reporting point, flight information region boundary or destination aerodrome, whichever comes first, changes in excess of 2 minutes from that previously notified to air traffic services, or such other period of time as is prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority or on the basis of regional air navigation agreements, the flight crew shall notify the appropriate air traffic services unit as soon as possible.

State of the principal locatio C Not implemented N/A
Synthetic vision system (SVS) C Not implemented N/A
2.1.1.5 C Partially implemented. No specific requirement for non-commercial operations with other-than complex motor-powered aircraft (NCO). Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex I pt. 1.5 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.GEN.140
2.1.4 B Different in character. Specific Approvals (SPA) shall be issued by the State of the Operator. R. (EU) 965/2012: Art. 5(2); Annex V – Part-SPA: SPA.GEN.100 (a)(2) and (b)
2.2.2.2.1 B Different in character In NCC, the rule addresses to the operator, not to the PIC. For low visibility operations (LVO), it is the competent authority as established by Annex V (Part-SPA): State of the Operator if the aircraft is registered in an EU Member State; or State of Registry if the aircraft is registered in a third country and the State of Registry has already issued the LVO specific approval. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex I pt. 2.2 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.OP.110; NCO.OP.110.
2.2.2.2.1.1 C Partially implemented. The CVS does not receive operational credits. R.965/2012 currently allows only operational credits for HUDs and EVS. R.(EU) 965/2012: SPA.LVO.100 pt. (f)
2.2.3.4.3 C Partially implemented Reg. (IS) 694/2010 has established critera of 2 hours before and after estimated time of use in case of IFR flight without alternate airport. NCC.OP.150, NCC.OP.180: No margin defined for destination aerodrome, but margin defined in NCC.OP.151 and NCO.OP.140 for alternate aerodromes. NCO.OP.160: margin not defined. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex I pt. 2.6.2.2 (b) R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.OP.150 pt. (c); NCC.OP.151; NCC.OP.180; NCO.OP.140; NCO.OP.160
2.2.3.5 B Other means of compliance. Icelandic regulation does not specify seperate runways nor gives any criteria for an isolated aerodrome. European rules require a period commencing one hour before and ending one hour after the estimated time of arrival at the aerodrome in accordance with 2.2.3.4.3. European rules do not require a point of no return but instead require always to have an alternate aerodrome (with very few exceptions e.g. isolated aerodrome) and other conditions (e.g. EU rules require fuel for 2 hours). Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex I pt. 2.7 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.OP.151; NCO.OP.140
2.2.3.6.1 B Different in character Icelandic regulation requires 5% contingency fuel in case of IFR flight and VFR flight. Also requires 45 minutes of final reserve for all flights unless local flight instruction in landing pattern. Part NCO allows for lower criteria for VFR A to-A flights when remaining in sight of the aerodrome/landing site. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex I pt. 2.8 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.OP.130; NCO.OP.125
2.2.3.7.1 A EU rules do not allow embarking, on board or disembarking of passengers while refuelling with AVGAS or wide-cut type fuel or a mixture of these fuel types. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex I pt. 2.18.1 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.OP.155; NCO.OP.145
2.2.4.6.1 C Partially implemented. Fully implemented for NCC. An alleviation is available for NCO operations. The EU rules contain an alleviation to the availability and use of oxygen on board under NCO.OP.190 and AMC1 NCO.OP.190(a). The PIC can decide to fly at any altitude without using oxygen, and without oxygen being available. AMC1 NCO.OP.190(a) additionally states: “(…) the PIC should: (…) (b)(2) if detecting early symptoms of hypoxia conditions: (i) consider to return to a safe altitude, and (ii) ensure that supplemental oxygen is used, if available.” R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.IDE.A.195; NCO.IDE.A.150
2.2.4.7.1 B Other means of compliance. Part-NCC and Part-NCO do not define final reserve fuel as such. Instead, NCC.OP.130 and NCO.OP.125 indicate the amount of minutes for the required final reserve fuel. R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.OP.205 pt. (b); NCO.OP.185
2.2.4.7.2 C Partially implemented with the SERA requirements. SERA includes the declaration of MINIMUM FUEL. R.(EU) 923/2012 (amended by R.(EU) 2016/1185): SERA.11012; SERA Appendix 1 to AMC1 SERA.14001; GM1 SERA.11012
2.2.4.7.3 C Icelandic regulation 694/2010 does not require a MAYDAY declaration unless the fuel is less than required to land at a usable airport in VFR flight. Partially implemented with the requirements in SERA. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex 1 pt. 2.8.1.1 (c), 2.8.1.2 (b) R.(EU) 923/2012 (amended by R.(EU) 2016/1185): SERA 11012; Appendix 1 to AMC1 SERA.14001 R.(EU) 965/2012: CAT.OP.MPA.280 pt. (b)(3)
2.4.2.2 C Partially implemented. ELA1 aeroplanes, i.e. aeroplanes with a Maximum Take-off Mass (MTOM) of 1200 kg or less that are not classified as complex motor-powered aircraft, are exempt from the hand fire extinguisher requirement in NCO.IDE.A.160. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex 1 pt. 4.1.3.1.1 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.IDE.A.110; NCC.IDE.A.180; NCC.IDE.A.190; NCC.IDE.A.205; NCC.GEN.140; NCO.IDE.A;110; NCO.IDE.A.140; NCO.IDE.A.145; NCO.IDE.A.160; NCO.GEN.135.
2.4.2.3 C Partially implemented. Only for Large Aeroplanes Initial CofA after 18 Feb 2020 (lavatory) and 18 May 2019 (portable). No reference for Part-NCO, as it is very unlikely that an NCO aircraft has a lavatory. Reg.(EU) 2015/640: Part-26: 26.170 and 26.400
2.4.3.2 B The EU rules do not distinguish between VFR flights and VFR controlled flights. The other means of compliance are ensured through the provisions in NCC.IDE.A.120(b) for additional instruments when in conditions where the aeroplane cannot be maintained in a desired flight path without reference to one or more additional instruments, as well as the additional limitations in Part-SERA 5010 for VFR controlled flights. R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.IDE.A.120 pt. (a), (b), (c). R.(EU) 923/2012 (SERA): SERA.5010
2.4.5 A All Icelandic registered aeroplanes shall be equipped with an ELT and all single engine aeroplanes shall be equipped with life saving equipment to sustain life for at least 24 hours. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex 1 pt. 4.4 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.IDE.A.230; NCO.IDE.A.180; AMC1 NCO.IDE.A.180; GM2 NCC.IDE.A.230; GM2 NCO.IDE.A.180.
2.4.6.2 A Icelandic regulation requires this for all aeroplanes operating at flight altitudes at which the atmospheric pressure is less than 376 hPa as there is no date CofA issue date specified. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex 1 pt. 4.5.2 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.IDE.A.195 pt. (c)(1); NCO.IDE.A.150 pt. (c)
2.4.13.2 C Icelandic regulation does not require VFR flights to be equipped with pressure altitude reporting transponders R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.IDE.A.255 AMC1 NCC.IDE.A.255 (a)(b); NCO.IDE.A.200; AMC1 NCO.IDE.A.200 (a)(b)
2.4.14.1 A Icelandic regulation requires microphones for all flights, not only IFR. Reg. (IS) 694/2010: Annex 1 pt. 4.15 R.(EU) 965/2012: NCC.OP.160 pt. (a); NCC.IDE.A.155
2.4.15.2 C Partially implemented. CVS does not receive operational credits. R.(EU) 965/2012: SPA.LVO; NCC.OP.110; NCO.OP.110; AMC5 NCC.OP.110 (d), (h); GM4 NCO.OP.110 (d), (h).
