Okay that makes sense. So this is because of the Chicago convention, to make sure that member countries can operate in each country? And the local CAA's can do their own inspections to determine wheter foreign operators are approved?
Now another question that follows from this. EASA has a list of
approved foreign Part 145 organizations. Now the question; do foreign aircraft have to be maintained by an approved (foreign) Part 145 organization in order to be allowed to fly to EASA territory, or is a maintenance record done by an maintenance facility that is approved by a foreign CAA (let's say the United Arab CAA) also allowed?
Thanks for your replies!
