What is a « marginal activity »
The term ‘marginal activity’ should be understood as representing a very
minor part of the overall activity of an organisation, mainly for the
purpose of promoting itself or attracting new students or members. An
organisation intending to offer such flights as regular business activity is
not considered to meet the condition of marginal activity. Also, flights
organised with the sole intent to generate income for the organisation,
are not considered to be a marginal activity.

Differences between audit and inspection?
‘Audit’ means a systematic, independent and documented process for
obtaining evidence and evaluating it objectively to determine the extent
to which requirements are complied with.
‘Inspection’ means an independent documented conformity evaluation
by observation and judgement accompanied as appropriate by
measurement, testing or gauging, in order to verify compliance with
applicable requirements.
Ref.: GM4 ORO.GEN.200(a)(6)
8. Audits and inspections
60
• Performed by the BCAA Ops directorate
– Initial audit not later than 12 months after the first declaration
received
– After initial audit, at least 1 on-site visit within each 48 months
cycle
– Additional audits/inspections may be carried out when the BCAA
deems appropriate.

Before starting the activity
- Declaration (MANDATORY)
- OM to permit the establishment of the 2015 audit
calendar and to start our audit preparations

In the most cases, the activity will be considered as commercial but, the
regulations allow a derogation.
An organisation that want to make use of the derogation with regard to
marginal activities shall demonstrate to the BCAA, with a detailed list of
overall activities of the preceding 3 years (Tandem jump, solo jump,...)
and other relevant data permitting a classification of the organisation,
that those commercial activities were only a marginal part of the overall
activities.
Any list of activities will stay confidential at the BCAA.
