3. 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.

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.

5.  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)

18. 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).

36.  Guidelines for continuing airworthiness requirements in
respect of maintenance of air craft and components.
◦ 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.
◦ The organization must have a compliance matrix to show how
they meet the requirements of Part-145
