JAA (JAR) to EASA Establishment
Differences from JAA
The JAA was headquartered at Hoofddorp, Amsterdam. The main
difference between EASA and JAA is that 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. (almost like a gentlemen’s club which each one country
was a member of) Also, 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.

EASA Part M
EASA Part M owes its origins to the days of the Joint Airworthiness Authority where it was to be found within JAR OPS, Since the creation and establishment of European Aviation Safety Agency which was formally established in October 2002 by EU Regulation and now has Executive powers since 28 September 2003, EASA is Headquartered in Cologne, Germany
Transition of arrangements from Joint Aviation Authority and National Airworthiness Authorities have now all completed.
Part M concerns the operator’s responsibilities in connection with the management of Continuing Airworthiness.
EASA Part-M consists of several subparts. One noteworthy subparts is G (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization = CAMO, coordinating
the compliance of aircraft with maintenance program, airworthiness directives and service bulletins).

Part MSubparts
•Subpart A – General•Subpart B – Accountability•Subpart C – Continuing Airworthiness•Subpart D – Maintenance Standards•Subpart E – Components•Subpart F – Maintenance Organisation•Subpart G – CAMO•Subpart H – Certificate of Release to Service•Subpart I – Airworthiness Review Certificate
Part M is a legal requirement brought out by EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority) to impose a European standard for maintenance.
EASA Part M is sub-divided into following subparts:
Part M of Regulation (EC) 2042/2003 details the rules for the continuing airworthiness and maintenance of aircraft subject to EASA regulation.
In accordance with Part M, all EASA aircraft types that qualify for an EASA Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) are issued with a non-expiring CofA, validated annually with an Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC).
A Part M Subpart G approval is required for ARC validity extensions and an additional Subpart I approval is required for ARC issues, extensions of validity and recommendations for re-issue.

Details Part M
Owner is responsible for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and ensuring that no flight takes place unless:
1. the aircraft is maintained in an airworthy condition.
2. any operational and emergency equipment fitted is correctly installed and serviceable.
3. the airworthiness certificate remains valid.
Sub-Part C. This is the Continuing Airworthiness, that informs how you can achieve it. It includes the Maintenance Program and
what it should cover including the tasks that owner has to perform and certify.
Sub-Part D. Tells you about the standards that Maintenance Provider needs to maintain the aircraft.
.Sub-Part G. This is the part that lays down the rules for a Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO). Most
AOC Operators, will have a Sub-Part G as a matter of course. Sub-Part F/ Part 145 organizations may well have this
approval as well. This Management Organization will control the maintenance and act for owner with provider, using Approved Maintenance
Program as the controlling 'bible'. It will also carry out the annual review and submit the result to a Subpart I signatory for
signing. This Subpart G is essential if you wish to maintain your aircraft in a 'Controlled environment'. Owner must
stay with choosen CAMO, but can however change Subpart F / Part 145 provider as often as owner like.
Sub-Part I. Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC). It is in two parts, the first is issued once, but it needs the second part to
validate it. The second part has to be signed after carrying out an Airworthiness review and then it can be extended two
more times for a period of one year each time then it repeats as long as it remains in its controlled environment.
This can all be done by CAMO. This review process would generally align with 12 month inspection, but it
does have flexibility built in. This controlled environment does make things a lot easier if Owner decides
to register aircraft in and out of other countries in Europe.

CAMO Advantages
If Owner do not take advantage of a Subpart G organization, Owner will be outside a controlled environment. Owner will then have to apply to the Authority each year, to carry out a full Airworthiness review and sign the ARC every 12 months. Logically, this method will be more expensive in general.
It takes 12 months with a CAMO to gain a controlled environment status.
If Owner changes CAMO, he has to spent another 12 months with a new Subpart G, before Owner achieves a controlled environment once more.
