Europe Regulatory Update
Moderated by Ric Peri, AEA vice president, government & industry affairs and Franz Redak, AEA Europe consultant.
AEA participates in many key industry working groups in Europe to bring members the latest in regulatory developments which could have an impact on business.
This session includes 3 critical rulemaking discussions:
- An update on the rulemaking activity creating an avionics license for general aviation maintenance operations. After three years of work the proposal is in the queue for release as an NPA later this year. This B2L license proposes to allow progressive, system based return to service authority that is more appropriate to general aviation aircraft maintenance.
- Since the inception of EASA, the avionics industry has been plagued by the type training requirement for legacy aircraft. Through the efforts of AEA, EASA has opened a rulemaking activity to investigate alternatives to the Part 147 required training for these aircraft. This regional meeting discussion will be the basis of the report to be given to EASA in May.
- The AEA has been asked to review AMC & GM for PART 21; Subpart D – Changes to type-certificates; GM 21A.91, Classification of changes to a type design for consistency with regards to modern avionics. From input from various roundtable discussions the criterion in GM 21A.91 may be overly restrictive causing inconsistency in regional interpretation as well as causing unnecessarily strict approvals. This important discussion will also result in a recommendation to be giving to EASA in May.
This session will cover these topics and more
- SMS Safety Management System Awareness
- Bilateral between USA and EU and its impact on our business
- News on Part 21 … EWIS, Fuel Tank Safety
- Part 145: Involvement in Part 21 work. How does the coordination with P21 work.
- Concerns and news on Part 145.
- Upcoming mandates in Europe (RNP RNAV, Link 2000, SES, etc.)
