In general terms, a Declaration of Continued Airworthiness or an application for the issuance of a NARC may be submitted by the owner of the aircraft. In the case of multiple owners, this may be done by any one of them.

In the specific case of ULM aircraft, in accordance with the provisions of article 34 of RD 141/2025, these tasks must be carried out by the person responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the airworthiness of the aircraft. This figure may be the owner of the aircraft or, in the case of leasing the aircraft or allowing another person to operate it, the lessee or the operator of the aircraft, provided that these are included in the aircraft Registration Certificate or the transfer of responsibilities for the maintenance of the airworthiness is included in the lease contract or any other title allowing the operation of the aircraft to another person (company deed, power of attorney, etc.), electronic apodera , the owner of the property must be given a written document signed by both parties stating that he/she has the capacity to act on behalf of the owner).

If the person responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the airworthiness of the aircraft is not the owner of the aircraft, in order to submit a Declaration of Continued Airworthiness or an application for the issuance of a NARC, it is first necessary to be registered in the “Portal de alta, modificación y gestión de contactos de Administrados SIPA”/"Portal for registering, modifying and managing SIPA Administrator contacts" as the owner's legal representative, attaching evidence of the owner's representation.

Any questions about the registration process in the AESA Admin Portal should be addressed to the following AESA email address: usuariosdsa.aesa@seguridadaerea.es.

If the Declaration of Continued Airworthiness is signed within three months prior to the expiry of the NARC or the previous declaration, the pattern shall be maintained and the two years shall be counted from the date on which it was due to expire.

See graph below:

Otherwise, its validity shall be calculated from the date of signature of the declaration:

For AFIS aircraft, the Declaration of Continued Airworthiness may be signed up to two years from the end of the validity of the NARC or, if applicable, of the previous declaration. After this period has elapsed without being issued, the validity of the NARC may not be renewed by the NARC and the owner must request the issuance of a new NARC from EASA.

If signed within two years of the expiry date of the NARC or of the previous declaration, its validity shall be calculated from the date of signature of the declaration.

No, the new owner is not required to issue a new declaration.

Following a change of ownership of the aircraft, the NARC N15a or N15b signed by the previous owner shall be considered to remain valid until its expiry date.

As set out in paragraph 145.A.30(j)(1) and (2) and Appendix IV to Part 145, the holder of an ICAO licence shall demonstrate that he has acquired the training on human factors and airworthiness regulations detailed in modules 9 and 10 of Appendix I to Part 66, and the aircraft type training indicated in point 1(e) of Appendix IV, which shall be equivalent to that in Part 66 and for which such a comparison shall be made.
