Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA)

Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), started in 1970 it is based in Hoofddorp the


Netherlands,
The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) was. an association body of the
European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) representing the civil aviation
authorities of Member State which signed the "JAA Arrangements ,
document established in the conference of Cyprus. in Sept 1990.
The JAA Member States agreed to cooperate in developing and
implementing common safety regulatory standards and procedures .

Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA)

The Members did their best to harmonise their practices with the Joint Aviation
Authorities (JAA), this system led to differing interpretations, which adversely
affected the efficiency of regulation and increased compliance.
A transition to the EASA system and decision-making based on the European
Community method will mark a significant improvement in the execution of
certification and rulemaking.

20 5 Panasonic Avionics Corporation. Proprietary and Confidential 8/10/2017 10


Transfer from JAA to EASA

With the creation of EASA in 2002, the EU members transferred the


airworthiness regulations away from the JAA.
Over time, EASA became responsible for operations and licensing as well.
In 2009 the JAA system was disbanded. Only the training organisation (JAA-TO)
remains, it mainly provides courses for CAA staff of European countries.

20 5 Panasonic Avionics Corporation. Proprietary and Confidential 8/10/2017 11


Role of European commission

The European Parliament: it is the elected body that represents the Europe
citizens .
It exercises political supervision and takes part in the legislative process.
The Council of the European Union (also known as the Council of Ministers): it
is the EU's main decision-making body.
The EU member states take it in turns to hold the Presidency of the Council for
a period of six months.
Every Council meeting is attended by one minister from each EU country. The
Council has legislative power, which it shares with the European Parliament .
The European Commission: it is the EUs executive arm. This means that it is
the only institution that can propose new laws, on which the European
Parliament and Council of the EU then vote.

Role of EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency )
The Agency was temporarily based in Brussels, but moved to Cologne ( in
Germany ), on 2nd November 2004.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is the European Union's Agency
which has the main role of promoting the highest common standards of safety
and environmental protection in civil aviation.
The agency was established by the European Parliament Basic Regulation
n. 1592/2002 issued on 15/07/2002 (replaced by n EC.216/2008 issued on
20/02{2008).
This Regulation was done because of the need to provide common rules to the
European civil aviation field on:
1 . Safety levels
2. Quality standards
3. Environmental compatibility
4. Goods and services movement
5. Cooperation with third Countries.
The EASA has a web site. (www.easa.eu-int)

in Bahrain by a Maintenance Organization which is approved by the Bahrain CAA
(i.e Gulf Air Maintenance ) .
With the formation of the JAA / EASA and the resulting mutual recognition a
Bahraini registered aircraft may also be maintained by each Maintenance
Organization approved by a JAA I EASA member state.
This means also, that an Approved Maintenance Organization in Bahrain may
maintain aircraft registered in the JAAIEASA member states.

Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA),
A Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA), or an airworthiness certificate, is
issued for an aircraft by the national aviation authority in the state in which the
aircraft is registered. ( i.e DGCA of Lebanon )
The airworthiness certificate proves that the aircraft is airworthy as the aircraft
conforms to its type design. ( Aircraft publications such as AMM , IPC , WDM
etc.. )
Each airworthiness certificate is issued in one of a number of different
categories.
A certificate of airworthiness is issued when the aircraft is registered in the name
of the owner without expiration date .
A yearly currency fee is payable to renew the Certificate of Airworthiness.
If this fee is not paid when due, the certificate expires and the owner must apply
again for this certificate to be issued.
The Certificate of Airworthiness can only remain valid when a certificate of
release to service from the maintenance facility declares that the maintenance
has been carried out and the aircraft is then certified as being airworthy.
