Do EASA accept, for approved data, anything whatsoever from the FAA list of what qualifies as approved data (e.g. the US manufacturer installation manuals, the contents of other US STCs, etc)?
I will at some stage be writing a mag article on this. I think I have the FAA system sorted OK, but the EASA one is a bit of a mystery. For starters, it appears that the only body which can make the Minor/Major mod decision is EASA itself. Under the FAA system, an IA (or a 145-RS) can make it, but they are a bit out of a limb doing so. Under the EASA system, the ruling seems to be from EASA every time.
