BREXIT Day :....EASA gets crossed out, UK CAA gets inked in.
Brexit Day plus a week or so - You get ramp checked in the States, your widget paperwork is examined, your friendly FAA man looks at the amended paperwork and asks " it says UK CAA here , where in the UK now are your widgets checked for continued compliance..... "
Let me give you a simple solution.
The same shop which previously checked that your widgets are compliant will continue to check the widget for compliance. The only difference is that instead of EASA approved, it will be CAA approved. And instead of the CAA following EASA test methodology to determine compliance, the CAA compliancy which align with either FAA or EASA, which ever is simpler. The CAA will likely also approve US shops to carry out the same compliancy as if they (the CAA) were still part of EASA, so even having compliancy checked in foreign countries won't be a difficult task.
It's
NOT difficult......
