Capot, my licence application only took 10 days to process and return with a ticket! Don't think that is slow!
Whyliecoyotez, the assignment is aimed at you disecting the regulations for EASA and the FAA and come to a conclusion on what you think is the better system for maintenance approvals, certifying staff and training for your companies operation. Capot has given you some clues in his rant about the differences in the way the FAA and EASA stand on the one rule maker and the committee approach of EASA. Don't take any notice about the CAA activities as your assignment has nothing to do with it. It is mainly to look at what is the costs in training certifying staff (A&P vs B1/B2 requirements in 147 does vary), differences in FAR Repair station to PART 145 orgs and the set up of schools being a couple of pointers. Write it in your own hand too, as its a report to a CEO that doesn't want to know rules and regulations verbatuim! LOL
Remember, as a company operating in a country not under the EASA / FAA umbrella, it will come under that countries ICAO recognised NRA for registration of aircraft and AOC and must be in the loop, even if they recognise FAA and EASA modes of approval. BTW, an MRO can hold both EASA and FAA approvals for base and line operations for the types they deal with.
