Frequently asked questions

AESA does not send acknowledgement of receipt when it receives the declaratory renewal of the Restricted Airworthiness Certificate, however, it reserves the right to notify if it detects any irregularity in the completion of the declaratory certificate.

If you do not have a digital certificateor Cl@ve , it can also be sent by registered post or through the other formal channels of the Administration to the following address: Paseo de la Castellana 112. 28046 Madrid, addressed to the Initial Air Navigation Division.

The aircraft’s CoA no longer shows the mode of use of the aircraft (Acrobatic, Normal or Semi-Acrobatic). This modality is shown in the Characteristic Sheets. The administered may request, through the format AI-CANO-P02-F13 - Request for emission-modification of LEA, HC and CdRuido, the assignment of aircraft for acrobatic flights, provided that it is demonstrated with the relevant flight tests, the flight capacity of the aircraft for such assignment.

Following these criteria, WIFI equipment should not appear in the station license, since:

1. It's not an aeronautical team.

2. Frequency bands are reserved by another Ministry.

3. The certification and adequacy of the equipment will have to be carried out by an organization with privileges, approved by EASA.

The Station License is mandatory for any aircraft with Spanish registration that has transmitting aeronautical equipment.

Can I fly my aircraft with the Station License pending approval?

It could not be flown unless a permit to fly is presented stating that the safety of the flight is not compromised and is duly justified.

A Certificate of Airworthiness (CdA) is the document that certifies that an aircraft is capable of performing flights under certain safety requirements. This document is issued by the national authority where the aircraft is registered.

For non-EASA aircraft, the design of which is not covered by a valid type-certificate, does not have a Configuration Definition Document or is covered by a type-certificate or equivalent not accepted by AESA, the issuance of a CoA shall not apply to them.

To obtain the type of Airworthiness Certificate there is a user manual that varies depending on the characteristics of the aircraft. The manual also gives instructions on how to perform subsequent activities after obtaining the Airworthiness Certificate, such as modifications, suspensions, etc.

There is a User Manual in the Amateur Aircraft Construction section or in the various sub-sections within the Airworthiness Certificate section, except for remotely piloted aircraft (known as UAS) and experimental non-UAS aircraft, for which prior contact with the authority is required.

Non-EASA aircraft are those aircraft excluded from EASA regulations according to Regulation 2018/1139 (EU) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July. Among them are ultralight motorized aircraft called ULM, Historic, Experimental and Amateur Building Aircraft. Aircraft used in the use of military, patrol, police, etc. operations are also excluded from EASA regulations. For more details on which aircraft are excluded, see Regulation 2018/1139, in its Article 2.3(a) and Annex I.

EASA Aircraft is one that has an EASA approved design, and the one that applies Regulation 2018/1139. EASA approved aircraft designs are available on its own website www.easa.europa.eu

The Station License is mandatory for any aircraft with Spanish registration that has transmitting aeronautical equipment.
