Easa
After many years of ARB, CAA and JAA I am now having to get to grips with EASA 
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.
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
Take L1011. they have been certificated and operated in several EU countries, UK, Germany, Portugal, Sweden
The lead country for L1011 is
Netherlands
Is that an oxymoron or what

Re: Easa
You aren't in real life the chairman of the CAA, or director of SRG are you?
Because I've heard both say exactly the same thing, except in rather more details.

Re: Easa
Gengis,
It even more frightening !!
In the simple days we had FAA AD's for US built aircraft.
(apart from US lawyers legalistic jargon ) realtively easy.
Now for the same aircraft now we have FAA AD's to comply with, plus UK CAA mandatory SB's AND EASA AD's.
We have now found some of them have slipped through the cracks !
I guess they have to change a working system to make more money !

Re: Easa
Can sympathise - my current whinge is CAA licensing - I have just renewed my JAR 66 B2 licence (which will be issued as a Part 66 Restricted B1 and B2/C hopefully!). Nowhere on the CAA web site does it mention that you have apply for renewal using the old (style) AD 302 BCAR form.
