V. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY DATA (OSD)
The Operational Suitability Data elements listed below are approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency under the EASA Type Certificate [original TC number] as per Commission Regulation (EU) 748/2012 as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 69/2014. 1. Master Minimum Equipment List a. The MMEL is in the process of being approved as per the defined Operational Suitability Data Certification Basis until aircraft entry into service. b. Required for entry into service by EU operator * 2. Flight Crew Data a. The Flight Crew data is in the process of being approved as per the defined Operational Suitability Data Certification Basis until aircraft entry into service. b. Required for entry into service by EU operator * c. Pilot Type Rating: The licence endorsement for the A350-900 series aircraft is "A330/A350". The A350-900 and the A330 series aircraft are variants of the same type of aircraft. 3. Cabin Crew Data a. The Cabin Crew data is in the process of being approved as per the defined Operational Suitability Data Certification Basis until aircraft entry into service. b. Required for entry into service by EU operator * c. The A350-900 is determined to be a variant of the A330/A340 series aircraft. Based on the comparison conducted using the aircraft differences table ADT (as per Appendix 1 of CS CCD.200(b)(1)) it has been concluded that the A350-941 is to be considered a variant of the A330-200. d. The minimum required cabin crew number resulting from the certification evacuation evaluation of the A350-900 is 8 for all of the emergency exit configurations shown in section 2.4, irrespective of the Maximum Operational Passenger Seating Capacity (MOPSC) for the concerned aeroplane.

However, in accordance with operational rules, if the MOPSC for the concerned aeroplane exceeds 400, the minimum required cabin crew number becomes 9. e. The document A350-900 Cabin Areas of Special Emphasis (CASE), reference V01RP1428088 Issue 2.2 is the mean to provide special instructions to the Operators.
