Frequently asked questions

In relation to obtaining the POA approval to manufacture an article classified as ETSO, is it necessary to have applied for DOA approval, in addition to the ETSO authorisation for the article?

    As can be verified on the relevant EASA website (FAQ ETSO), the ADOA (or the DOA, in the case of an ETSO article that is an APU) and the POA must be, or have been previously requested.
     EASA is responsible for the
    DOA/ADOA and ETSO. The POA is responsible for EASA as the Aviation Authority of Spain. Therefore, the 3 approvals should be requested at the same time (approximately) from the respective Authority.
     
    Furthermore, in relation to the AOP, it is essential to recall point 21.A.133 (Eligibility):

    • The production activity to be carried out should be “appropriate” for approval under Part 21 Subpart G, as is the case with an ETSO article. In addition, and also essential to meet this criterion, it is direct delivery to final customer.
    • It must be owned or applied for approval of the design to be produced (which would be fulfilled when the DOA/ADOA application was made).
