European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)

Established under regulation 1592/2002, created on 15 July 2002

Based in Cologne, Germany

EASA is the central safety regulator and advisory body for civil Aviation in the EU (through 1592/2002)

Mission is to set up & maintain the highest possible safety and environmental standards in aviation.

the EASA was full functionality in 2008, taking over functions of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA).

Strong and independent counterpart to the FAA.

The responsibilities of EASA include to: Giving advice for the drafting of EU legislation, implementing and

monitoring safety rules (including inspections in the member states),

Giving type-certification of aircraft and components as well as the approval of organizations involved in the design,

Authorizing foreign operators,

Manufacture and maintenance of aeronautical products.

European Aviation Safety Agency

The JAA was headquartered at Hoofddorp, North Holland.

EASA has legal regulatory authority within the European Union (EU) through the enactment of its regulations through the European Commission, Council of the European Union and European Parliament, while

Most of the JAA regulatory products were harmonized codes without direct force of law. Also,

JAA has very limited scope within EU (Some JAA nations such as Turkey were outside the EU whereas by definition, EASA

is an agency of the EU and other nations adopt its rules and procedures on a voluntary basis)

Significant diff. b/w US & European systems:

In the United States: Aircraft maintenance technicians (Part 65 Airframe and Power plant Mechanics) are permitted to work under their own certificates and approve their own work for return to service.

In European Part 66 certificate holders are required to perform their functions under the aegis of a Part 145 organization for Transport Category and Large (MTOM>5700 kg) Airplanes.

The part 145 organization in the EASA system has the authority to approve for return to service.

Many non-European countries have been moving toward the European approach, most notably Canada (See Part 571 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations).
