A&C,
If your trying to equate EASA to the "MAOS" system - dont bother. There is no ARC at the moment (though a sort of Review is being mooted), no Form One and no Part 66.
Without any of those things completing the airworthiness review loop, the military "system" can't quite work.
Having worked under CAP360, JAR and now EASA I find their system is now quite good - but I haven't used my B1.2 for some years now, just my B1.1 and B1.3 on CAT.
