After many years of ARB, CAA and JAA I am now having to get to grips with EASA :bored:
What an absolute pigs ear.
They are trying to re-invent the wheel and charging users a fortune to do it.
STC that are purchased from the US now have to be approved by EASA.
I have had a couple go through the process and they have to be reviwed by an EASA design Organisation $*****
Then they are submitted to EASA
Two fees from EASA- one to submit $**** and one to issue the approval $ ***
Even with NO technical changes this is the cost to the operator.:ooh:
Incidental there is no fixed fee for this. You do not get the fibnal amount until the approval is ready
EASA has designated Centres of Excellence with a lead authority.
SO:rolleyes: Take L1011. they have been certificated and operated in several EU countries, UK, Germany, Portugal, Sweden
The lead country for L1011 is :ok:
Netherlands :}
Is that an oxymoron or what :mad:
