Frequently asked questions

Oh, yeah, yeah. The opening of new facilities would be subject to the same approval as the Spanish POA. Only EASA would be required to intervene in this case. It would be a significant change through the addition of a new factory, in which it would be necessary to revisit all the points of the standard, especially those relating to the quality system, as well as to see how this new factory is integrated into the Organisation ' s activity in order to verify its suitability. In view of the payment of fees, it would be necessary to repay the normal fee for opening a new file, as would be done with a view to obtaining the initial POA approval.

Civil aviation production organisations, which intend to produce products, parts and equipment accompanied by the certificate of release to service EASA Form 1. The production of these products, parts and equipment is to be appropriate under approval Part 21 Subpart G, as set out in regulatory point 21.A.133 of Part 21 Subpart G of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 748/2012. Only for direct delivery to final customer (e.g. air operator, maintenance workshop, etc.).

Approval of Production Organisation as described in Part 21 Subpart G of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 748/2012. Applicable for those production activities falling within the scope of work of EASA, as set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139.

As can be seen on the relevant EASA website (ETSO FAQ), you must be, or have previously applied for, the ADOA (or DOA, if it is an ETSO article which is an APU) and the POA.
 
The DOA/ADOA and ETSO are held by EASA. The POA is handled by AESA as the Spanish Aviation Authority. Therefore, all 3 approvals have to be requested at the same time (approximately), from the respective Authority.
 
A.133 (Eligibility) is essential to remember in relation to the POA:

• The production activity to be undertaken must be "appropriate" for approval under Part 21 Subpart G, as is the case for an ETSO item. In addition, and also essential to meet this criterion, is direct delivery to the final customer.
• You must own or have applied for approval of the design you wish to produce (which would be fulfilled by making the DOA/ADOA application).

Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 lays down in Appendix I to Part 66 the modules that need to be passed in order to access a particular category. Those modules that are common to two categories, may be used to obtain different categories or subcategories, if the module that has been passed in a certain category or subcategory has the same content with a level equal to or higher than in the other categories or subcategories to be obtained.

Yes, it is possible to issue an extension of 45 days to the validity of the Provisional Registration at the request of the interested party, i.e. at the request of the interested party. In the following link you can download the MOD 3 of the extension request form 

Point 1 of Appendix III of Annex III (Part-66) to Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 provides that theoretical and practical training must have been initiated and completed in the three years preceding the application for the entry of the type rating, regardless of whether an LMA Part 66 licence is already held or not.

The evaluation for approval of a Maintenance Technician Training Organisation Part 147 has no fee

An Airworthiness Certificate is the document that accredits the aircraft to which it refers, as being in a position to fly by meeting certain safety requirements. 
AESA would be the authority responsible for issuing Airworthiness Certificates for aircraft that are or will be registered in Spain. 

To apply for the Airworthiness Certificate there is a user manual for EASA aircraft and a user manual for NO EASA aircraft (Excluded construction aircraft by amateurs and experimentals who have their own guide). This manual also indicates how to carry out subsequent activities after obtaining the Certificate of Airworthiness, such as modifications, suspensions, etc.

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