JAA and EASA
 

Hi guys,
I am very confused after reading about JAA and EASA.

From what I read, so currently there is no more JAA, and EASA had taken over JAA and EASA is the national authority for european countries?

Please help to explain their history (how EASA take over JAA) in layman terms :(

Thankyou very much

Basically every country had different rules, France would not except say a brake assembly made by one company, Netherlands would not accept say an autopilot system made by another company on their aircraft and the list went on, this meant Airbus would have to produce several versions of the same aircraft, different brakes for France, different Autopilot for the Netherlands.. none of them standardised and hence costing Airbus in their partners a fortune in producing different variants of the same aircraft, JAA standardised that so each country accepted a common standard of aircraft.. later as more parameters were added as to what JAA did they formed EASA to take over.
