28 September 2003 giving it responsibility, initially for regulating
airworthiness and maintenance issues within the EU Member States.
• RESPONSIBILITIES OF EASA
• Responsibilities of EASA include to conduct analysis and research of
safety ,implementing and monitoring safety rules ,giving type certification of
Aircraft ,and Approval of Organization in Design ,Manufacture ,and Maintenance
of Aircraft.
• EASA is a regulatory body for Air safety and Environment Regulation and Provides
common rules for
• 1.Certification of Aeronautical product
• 2.Approval of Organization
• 3.Licensing of Air Crew
• 4.Approval of Air Operators
ORGANISATIONAL AWARENESS
• Role of EASA
• EASA, is an agency of the EU which has been given specific regulatory tasks in
the field of aviation safety.
• Its establishment is key to the implementation of the EU’s strategy to
standardize, maintain and improve the level of aviation safety in Europe and
beyond.

• The SARG, based at Aviation House, possess delegated functions that are primarily
of a Technical Nature.
• These functions are implemented by staff known as SURVEYORS who are engaged
in specialist and general duties, relevant to all airworthiness aspects from design
approval and certification to operation and maintenance.
• CAA PUBLICATIONS
• The CAA ensures that the minimum standards for civil aviation in the UK
are maintained by reference to relevant published regulations.
• British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR)
• British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR) are published by the CAA
to detail national (UK-only) rules and regulations.
• BCARs provide even lower level interpretation of ANRs and are specific to
certain subject areas.
• BCARs are published by the SARG and relay, to the aviation industry, the
minimum airworthiness standards necessary to meet the ANO and ANR.
• In other words they explain in plain language how to meet the
requirements of the legal wording contained in ANOs and ANRs.
ORGANISATIONAL AWARENESS
• BCARs are published by the SARG of the CAA and relay, to the aviation industry,

the legal wording contained in the ANO‘s and ANR‘s.
ORGANISATIONAL AWARENESS
AWN’s are the means by which the CAA, via the SARG, publishes
information at short notice on TECHNICAL, MANDATORY AND
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS CONCERNING AIRWORTHINESS.
• The two largest aircraft regulatory bodies are currently the FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION in the USA and the EU EASA IN EUROPE.
• The Federal Aviation Requirements produced by the FAA formed the basis of many
of the European JARs and subsequent CS/Parts.
• EASA Parts & Certification Specifications (CSs) EASA receive IRs from the
Transport Commissioner and publish them as Parts and Certification
Specifications (CSs).
• The Parts and CSs not only comprise IRs as ‘Technical Requirements’
(which are often the IRs verbatim), but also Acceptable Means of
Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM), both of which provide
further detail to the Technical Requirements.

• Type Training, Upon successful completion, along with completion of ‘On the Job
Training’ (OJT), application can be made to add the relevant Type Rating to the AML.
ORGANISATIONAL AWARENESS
• Review:
• Part-M
• EASA SUB PART G CAMOs regularly review the aircraft’s maintenance
state (Airworthiness Review). An ARC is issued if found satisfactory.
• For comparison with UK legislation, European Regulations are similar to the ANO
and ANR in intent and authority.
• Just as the ANO is interpreted via the CAA into BCARs, European Law is interpreted
via the EASA into Parts, Certification Specifications, (CS) and Acceptable Means of
Compliance, (AMC).
