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)

A significant difference between the US and the European systems is that 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. 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).

Part 66 – Certifying staff (Continue)

Part-145: Maintenance Organization Approval To obtain approval to be an aeronautical repair station, an

organization must write, submit and keep updated a Maintenance Organization Exposition (MOE). To support their MOE they must have a documented set of procedures. Thirdly the organization must have a compliance matrix to show how they meet the requirements of Part-145

EASA Part-M: Continuing Airworthiness EASA Part-M consists of several subparts. The noteworthy

subparts are F (Maintenance for aircraft below 5700 kg in non commercial environment), G (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization = CAMO, coordinating the compliance of aircraft with maintenance program, airworthiness directives and service bulletins) – the airworthiness code is available on the EASA website ([easa.europa.eu]) in the regulations section

EASA is tasked by Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 to provide a review of aviation safety on an annual basis.

The Annual Safety Review7] presents statistics on European and worldwide civil aviation safety. The statistics are grouped according to type of operation, for instance commercial air transport, and aircraft category, such as aeroplanes, helicopters, gliders etc. EASA had access to accident and statistical information collected by theInternational Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). States are required, according to ICAO Annex 13 on Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation, to report to ICAO information on accidents and serious incidents to aircraft with a maximum certificated take-off mass (MTOM) over 2250 kg. Therefore, most statistics in this review concern aircraft above this mass. In addition to the ICAO data, a request was made to the EASA Member States to obtain light aircraft accident data. Furthermore, data on the operation of aircraft for commercial air transport was obtained from both ICAO and the NLR Air Transport Safety Institute.[8]

On 28 September 2003, the EASA took over responsibility for the airworthiness and environmental certification of all aeronautical products, parts, and appliances designed, manufactured, maintained or used by persons under the regulatory oversight of EU Member States.

The Certification work also includes all post-certification activities, such as the approval of changes to, and repairs of, aeronautical products and their components, as well as the issuing of airworthiness directives to correct any potentially unsafe situation.

All type-certificates are therefore now issued by the EASA and are valid throughout the European Union. It also carries out the same role for foreign organizations involved in the manufacture or maintenance of such products. The EASA relies on national aviation authorities who have historically filled this role and concludes contractual arrangements to this effect
