Frequently asked questions

If I sign the Declaration of Continued Airworthiness for an AFIS aircraft after the expiry date of the current NARC, what is the expiry date of the new certificate?

For AFIS aircraft, the Declaration of Continued Airworthiness may be signed up to two years from the end of the validity of the NARC or, if applicable, of the previous declaration. After this period has elapsed without being issued, the validity of the NARC may not be renewed by the NARC and the owner must request the issuance of a new NARC from EASA.


If signed within two years of the expiry date of the NARC or of the previous declaration, its validity shall be calculated from the date of signature of the declaration.

In case of change of ownership of the aircraft, do I have to issue a new Declaration of Continued Airworthiness?

No, the new owner is not required to issue a new declaration.


Following a change of ownership of the aircraft, the NARC N15a or N15b signed by the previous owner shall be considered to remain valid until its expiry date.

In relation to authorisations as certifying staff to maintenance technicians who are not EASA Part 66 licensed: Is it necessary to match a TMA ICAO license issued by a Chicago Convention signatory country with the license privileges described in EASA Part 66, if an authorization as a certifier is issued to a technician qualified under 145.A.30(j)(2), to perform online maintenance at a station in the country that issued its license?

As set out in paragraph 145.A.30(j)(1) and (2) and Appendix IV to Part 145, the holder of an ICAO licence shall demonstrate that he has acquired the training on human factors and airworthiness regulations detailed in modules 9 and 10 of Appendix I to Part 66, and the aircraft type training indicated in point 1(e) of Appendix IV, which shall be equivalent to that in Part 66 and for which such a comparison shall be made.

NOTE: after BREXIT Part 66 licences issued by the United Kingdom are considered national licences under 145.A.30(j)1 and 2, and may be used under the conditions of Appendix IV to Part 145. 

 

Please note that C/S or S/S authorisations issued on the basis of "foreign domestic licences" MAY NOT be used within the territory of the EASA Member State (neither for line operations, nor for base operations, nor for air flight operations (AOG) nor for occasional line maintenance). The only exception to this is 145.A.30(j)(5).
