Can a maintenance organisation approved by an
EASA member state (or EASA) under Part-145 certify
maintenance performed on a U.K.-registered aircraft
as of Jan. 1, 2021?
A maintenance organisation approved by an
EASA member state or EASA cannot perform any
maintenance on U.K.-registered aircraft in accordance
with point 145.A.50 of Annex II (Part-145) of
Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014. However, EU law does
not prevent U.K. from adopting national regulations
permitting maintenance release of U.K.-registered
aircraft by a Part-145 organisation approved by EASA
or an EASA member state.
Is it possible for a Part-145 approved
organisation to issue an 'EASA Form 1' for a
component removed 'serviceable' from a U.K.
registered aircraft after Dec. 31, 2020?
Yes, it is possible, provided that such a component
was removed under a procedure concerning issuance
of an 'EASA Form-1' for components removed
'serviceable' from a non-EU registered aircraft which
is approved in the MOE of the organisation conducting
the removal. This procedure is described in §2.8 of
AMC2 145.A.50(d). When the Part-145 maintenance
organisation has the capability to control the
airworthiness status of such component, then §2.6.2 of
AMC2 145.A.50(d) is applicable.
As of Jan. 1, 2021, can EASA Part-145 aircraft
certification privileges be granted to a person
holding an aircraft maintenance licence issued by
the UK CAA?
As of Jan. 1, 2021, Part-145 certification privileges
can be granted based on aircraft maintenance
licenses issued by the UK CAA, subject to compliance

with the provisions of EASA Part-145 Appendix IV
and the geographical limitations defined in Point
145.A.30(j)(1)/(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1321/2012
(i.e. where maintenance is performed at organisation
facilities located outside the EU territory or where
line maintenance carried out at a line station of an
organisation which is located outside the EU territory).
As of Jan. 1, 2021, will it be possible for CAMO
organisations approved by EASA or an EASA
member state to subcontract part of its continuing
airworthiness management activities to an
organisation located in the U.K.?
Yes, it will be possible. Under the provisions of
Part-M and Part-CAMO, a continuing airworthiness
management organisation can arrange to carry
out limited continuing airworthiness tasks with any
contracted organisation working under its quality
system, as listed on the approval certificate. This
subcontracting cannot concern, however, airworthiness
review tasks.
As of Jan. 1, 2021, can a CAMO located in the
U.K. and approved by EASA issue an ARC, or
a recommendation for the issuance of an ARC
by an EASA member state, after performing an
airworthiness review of an aircraft registered in an
EASA member state?
No, it cannot. The privileges to conduct an
airworthiness review of aircraft registered in an EASA
member state and to issue a corresponding ARC or a
recommendation for issuance of an ARC are granted
under Annex I (Part-M) and Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) of
Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 only to CAMOs located
in EASA member states.
As more information becomes available, the AEA will
strive to keep the membership abreast of the procedures
in support of international commerce in aviation. q
