AESA Guide Material

With a methodology equivalent to that of EASA, AESA has developed technical instructions and guidelines for those provisions of the legislation in which it considered it necessary to publish a technical reference material, which would make it easier for inspection stakeholders to comply with those provisions.

Documents from international civil aviation organisations and authorities such as ICAO, IATA, ACI, FAA, etc. have been taken into account in the preparation of this technical material.
