- I am interested in acquiring a ULM model that is not this type certificate in Spain, what do I have to do?
The first step should be to obtain the certification in Spain of your exact ULM model. This certification process must be carried out by the manufacturer. Once the ULM type certification has been obtained in Spain, the enrollment process will be possible.
Procedural information and form can be obtained on the AESA website
- What is a DOA?
Approval of Design Organisation, as described in Part 21 Subpart J of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 748/2012. This applies for those design activities that fall within the scope of EASA’s work, as set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. In these cases, EASA itself is responsible for managing both the approval process and the subsequent supervision of approved design organisations.
In the case of design organisations carrying out activities that do not fall within the scope of EASA’s work, the reference regulations are the JAR-21 Subparts JA and JB standards of the Annex to Royal Decree 660/2001. In these cases, it is the State Aviation Safety Agency that is responsible for the approval process and subsequent supervision of approved design organisations.
Therefore, EASA can approve Design Organisations for aircraft certification projects and their amendments, provided that these are excluded from the application of European regulations under Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. For this reason, and due to the limited scope of approval what AESA can give, it is normal for all Design Organisations to apply for EASA approval.
