- The agreement covers mutual recognition of aviation-related certification and Air Operator Certificates.
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
- EASA is the National Aviation Authority for the European Community, implementing regulations set by the European Commission.
- EASA has a standardisation and oversight function for all aviation safety certification activities of member states.
- Regulation (EC) No. 1139/2018 sets common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishes the EASA.
Type Certificates From Recognised Countries
- Automatic acceptance of aircraft Type Certificates (TC) or equivalent documents from recognised countries was instituted in 1990.
- Recognised countries include Canada, Germany, New Zealand, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Avionics System
- An avionics system transfers, processes, displays, or stores analogue or digital data using data lines, wireless or other data transmission medium.
- Examples of avionics systems include auto flight, communication and navigation, instruments, in-flight entertainment systems, and integrated modular avionics.
Base Maintenance
- Base maintenance, for a Part 145 organisation, means maintenance on an aircraft that CASA has approved in the Organisation Exposition.
Electrical System
- Electrical system refers to the aircraft electrical power supply source plus the distribution system to the different components contained in the aircraft.
- Electrical systems are specified in Table 1 of the Part 66 MOS.
