EASA Airworthiness Certification and Regulation For Competent Authorities – 10 Days

Introduction

At SAS we specialize in EASA regulations and staying at the forefront of what is happening in the industry.
This course is designed primarily for Airworthiness Authorities and focuses on the relationship between EASA Driven Airworthiness Regulatory obligations and the methods whereby the Industry is able to show compliance.
Using EASA regulatory compliance as the baseline with appropriate consideration of both the Federal Airworthiness Authority (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
EASA Airworthiness regulation within the commercial environment is a deeply complex and wide-reaching subject. Harmonization with the FAA plays a significant role in delivering Initial Airworthiness Compliance.
All Sofema Aviation Services Instructors have a minimum of 20 years of experience and bring a wealth of personal competency and practical experience to the training.

Who is the Course for?

This course is specifically focused on the needs of stakeholders to the aviation Initial and continuing airworthiness activities across the entire regulatory spectrum.
Typically Suitable for Competent Authorities Staff, Aircraft Maintenance Organisation (AMO) Key Staff. Design Organisation (DOA) and Production Organisation (POA) Key staff including Quality and Certification (CVE). Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMO) including Continuing Airworthiness Managers, Reliability, Engineering, Maintenance Planning and Technical Records.
