FOR THE ASPIRING AEROSPACE AND AVIATION PROFESSionals

EASA Part 21J applies to design organizations that design aeronautical products, parts, or appliances and/or that define changes or repair procedures. To perform such activities, organizations must have proven their capabilities and received approval from the responsible aviation authority

Part 21 G, also known as Production Organisation Approval (POA), is a regulatory framework that governs the production of aircraft, components, and systems. It sets forth the requirements and procedures that a company must adhere to in order to obtain approval as a Production Organization.

Part 145 approval ensures that maintenance organizations have the capability to perform maintenance tasks safely and effectively, maintaining the airworthiness of aircraft and contributing to the overall safety and reliability of aviation operations. It also involves regular audits and inspections by regulatory authorities to ensure continued compliance with the established standards.

Part 66 Certifying Staff refers to the certification process for individuals who perform aircraft maintenance tasks. It defines the categories and subcategories of certifications based on the aircraft systems and components the individuals are qualified to work on.

Part CAMO forms the link between an aircraft operator (e.g. an Airline) and a maintenance organization. The necessary activities to ensure continuing airworthiness are to be managed and supervised by a separate organization approved in line with aviation legislation, the so-called Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO).

AS9100 and AS13100 certifications not only enhance product and service quality but also bolster an organization's reputation, opening up opportunities to collaborate with aerospace companies and government agencies.
