Changes in Europe
INTRODUCTION Significant changes within the
European Aviation Regulatory framework have been
brought about by the introduction of new European
Aviation Regulations. In particular Regulation
1592/2002 of the European Parliament and of the
Council, which established the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA).

  civil aviation safety in Europe and
• to ensure a high uniform level of environmental
  protection
• to facilitate the free movement of goods, persons
  and services
• to promote cost-efficiency in the regulatory and
  certification processes and to avoid duplication
  at national and European level

5
EASA Objectives

• to assist Member States in fulfilling their
  obligations under the Chicago Convention
• to promote Community views regarding civil
  aviation safety standards and rules throughout
  the world by establishing appropriate cooperation
  with third countries and international
  organisations

6
EASA Functions

• Rulemaking
• Assist the European Commission in preparing
  legislation, and support the Member States and
  industry in putting the legislation into effect
• Adopt our own certification specifications and
  guidance material,

7
EASA Functions

• Certification
• Conduct technical inspections and issue
  certificates where centralised action is more
  efficient
• Standardisation
• Assist the European Commission in monitoring the
  application of European Community legislation

Regulations
Annex II to 2042/2003 is Part-145. This
implementing Rule deals with the approval of
maintenance organisations and is derived from the
former JAR 145 requirement. There are relatively
few changes between the former JAR 145 and EASA
Part-145.

Transition

• November 28th 2004 was the end of a transition
  period (specified in Article 4 to Regulation (EC)
  2042/2003 whereby all grandfathered former
  JAR-145 approvals had to be transitioned into
  EASA Part-145 approvals.
• For the Agency this meant all the grandfathered
  foreign JAR 145 and JAR 147 approvals had to be
  given EASA Part-145 and Part-147 approvals
  respectively.

16
EASA approved organisations

  applications are being received from applicants.
  These are new codes so the total volume of
  activity has yet to be determined.
