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.

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.

Through the telematic processor, which is the AESA application for the management by the inspected party of the inspection documentation (https://sede.seguridadaerea.gob.es/oficina/solicitudes/solicitudes.do).

  Please note that you must provide the documentation in the appropriate file, otherwise the response may be delayed.

The mainone, where you will find your applications, as well as other documents related to inspections, authorisations, etc. is the “Virtual Office” or “Telematic Processor”, in this application you can provide documentation to the file (equivalent to the AESA entry register), see the evolution of the file and the stage it is in.

On the other hand, it has Notification by Appearance, where you can consult the notifications and communications issued by AESA, both regulatory control inspection, authorisations and any other procedure with AESA.

Finally, it has the General Access Point, through which it also has an electronic record to provide documentation and a notification system. However, as this system is shared with all administrations, unlike the previous ones it is not dedicated to EASA, so its submissions of documentation or applications could be delayed until they are received in EASA.

The first time the telematics processor is accessed with a valid digital certificate, the system collects the necessary information and indicates some additional data for communications between AESA and the data subject. It is essential to indicate an e-mail address at this time in order to be able to receive notices of availability of new documents in an electronic site.

The adoption of the telematic procedure for the inspection procedure in compliance with Law 39/2015 on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations (LPACAP) requires the use of a digital platform.

To request it to plataforma.aesa@seguridadaerea.es is sufficient, indicating a means of contact (preferably email). We will consider this information for future calls.

The technical instructions are intended to be an acceptable means of complying with the safety standards required by Article 39 of the Law of 21/2003 on Aviation Safety for Airport Service Providers, and with the single additional provision of Order TMA/692/2020 in the particular case of the technical instruction for fuel supply.

The maximum time limit for deciding (granting or refusing) an application for authorisation is 6 months from the date of entry by registration of the application. After this period without a decision by EASA on the matter, the authorisation may be considered granted.

The deadline for replying to each request or correction of application is 10 working days from the date of entry by registration, which can be answered within this period with the decision itself (grant or refusal), or a request to rectify the application if the analysis of the documentation determines that further information is necessary.

In the latter case, a period of 10 working days is granted to provide new documentation.

After the expiry of that period, the person concerned may be deemed to have left the application by decision.
