7 ointAviationAuthorities EC Council Regulation on Technical Harmonisation 3922/91 The EU regulation on the harmonisation of technical requirements and procedures applicable to civil aircraft became effective on 1 January The effect of this regulation is to give the force of European law to those JARs specified in the regulation including automatic recognition. It therefore follows that compliance with and automatic recognition of the JARs specified in the regulation is mandatory for the EU JAA- NAA states from the date on when a particular JAR is gazetted.

8 ointAviationAuthorities EU Council Regulation on Technical Harmonisation JAR-145 approved maintenance organisation is one JAR specified in the EU regulation and therefore with the force of law the EU requires compliance with JAR- 145 and the automatic recognition of such JAR-145 approvals granted by one JAA-NAA by any other JAA- NAA without further technical evaluation but subject to compliance with the common procedures

9 ointAviationAuthorities EU Council Regulation on Technical Harmonisation The common procedures applicable to JAR-145 are specified in the Joint Maintenance Procedures blue book. Failure to comply with JAR-145 or the associated common procedures are the only basis for non- recognition and would need to be made known to the EU.

28 ointAviationAuthorities Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) 1. BASA is State to State agreement to recognise each others systems via implementation procedures. 2. Maintenance Implementation Procedure (MIP) is for maintenance. 3. Signature of MIP activates maintenance part. 4. The basic BASA must be signed before any implementation procedure can be signed.

29 ointAviationAuthorities Fundamental principle for MIP 1. A JAA accepted American FAR-145 Repair Station will certify compliance with FARs plus any differences between FAR and JAR. 2. A JAR-145 European Maintenance Organisation holding FAR-145 will certify compliance with JARs plus any differences between FAR and JAR. For Components a JAA Form One is used.

30 ointAviationAuthorities JAA Acceptance of American FAR- 145 Repair Stations 1. Quality Audit System as in JAR Access for JAA or FAA acting on behalf of JAA 3. Accountable Manager Commitment as in JAR 145

31 ointAviationAuthorities JAA Acceptance of American FAR-145 Repair Stations 4. Supplement to inspection procedures manual. 5. Acceptance of other differences. 6. Receive maintenance international standardisation teams (MIST).

32 ointAviationAuthorities MIST Teams MIST Teams use a standard format to question the NAA and sample a selection of industry organisations for compliance with JARs such as 145. MIST Team findings are discussed with the NAA before being finalised into the need for corrective action. Failure to correct within agreed timescales can lead to the country approvals not being recognised by other member states.

33 ointAviationAuthorities MIST OBJECTIVE 1.To help FAA staff understand the differences between JAR-145 and FAR 43/145 from the JAA point of view. 2.To look at each FAA regions working practices for compatibility with JAA procedures. 3.By snapshot audits of a representative sample of FAR-145 repair stations, check for compatibility with JAR-145. NOTE: Any FAR-145 repair station found significantly out of compliance with FAR-145 or JAA supplementary conditions will be removed from JAA list.
