Joint Aviation Authorities

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) were an amalgamation of the civil aviation authorities of 34 European countries and a technical body within the European Civil Aviation Conference . They were dissolved on June 30, 2009, with most of their tasks being taken over by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Cologne . Today there is a training organization under the name JAA-TO (Training Organization) that offers training in the aviation sector.

Foundation of the JAA

The JAA was founded in 1970 as Joint Airworthiness Authorities . The original task was to develop common standards for the certification of large aircraft and turbines in order to meet the requirements of the European aircraft industry and international consortia such as B. Airbus to meet. From 1987 the tasks were extended to the standardization of operation, maintenance, approval and certification of all aircraft classes.

JAA member countries

Albania , Belgium , Bulgaria , Denmark , Germany , Estonia , Finland , France , Greece , Great Britain , Ireland , Iceland , Italy , Croatia , Latvia , Lithuania , Luxembourg , Malta , Macedonia , Moldova , Monaco , Montenegro , Netherlands , Norway , Austria , Poland , Portugal , Romania , Serbia , Slovakia , Slovenia , Spain , Sweden , Switzerland , Czech Republic , Turkey , Ukraine , Hungary , Cyprus

With the handover of the tasks of the previous JAA to EASA, several previous JAA member states (e.g. Albania or Serbia) and their aviation authorities are no longer actively involved as full members in the decision-making process on European aviation regulations . Other states such as Turkey are completely excluded from the decision-making process due to the delegation of tasks.

Joint Aviation Requirements

With the JAR (Joint Aviation Requirements), the federal states had drafted a comprehensive work on the regulation of aviation, which was implemented and monitored by the national aviation authorities in national law .

The aim of the JAR was high safety standards and harmonized regulations in Europe . The JARs were in detail:

Airworthiness

  • JAR-22 - Regulation for the certification of gliders and motor gliders
  • JAR-23 (today: CS-23 ) - regulation for the certification of powered aircraft up to 5670 kg
  • CS-23Light - Future regulation for the certification of powered aircraft up to 1200 kg
  • JAR-25 (today: CS-25 ) - regulation for the certification of aircraft from 5670 kg driven by turbines
  • JAR-27 (today: CS-27 ) - regulation for the certification of small helicopters up to 3175 kg
  • JAR-29 (today: CS-29 ) - regulation for the certification of large helicopters from 3,175 kg
  • CS-LSA - Future EASA Light Sport Airplanes (powered aircraft up to 600 kg (650 kg for seaplanes))
  • JAR-VLA (today: CS-VLA ) - Regulations for the certification of light aircraft up to 750 kg (in future up to 890 kg and up to three seats)
  • Aerospace Recommended Practices : e.g. B. ARP 4754 is a standard for the development of complex safety-critical systems

Operation (JAR-OPS / EU-OPS)

  • JAR-OPS 1: Operating rules for commercial traffic with aircraft (meaning fixed- wing aircraft)
  • JAR-OPS 2: Operating rules for non-commercial traffic with aircraft
  • JAR-OPS 3: Operating regulations for commercial traffic with helicopters
  • JAR-OPS 4: Operating regulations for non-commercial use of helicopters

JAR-OPS 1 was approved in 2008 by Regulation (EG) 3922/91 (EU-OPS 1, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1899/2006 , Commission Regulation (EC) 859/2008 Annex III, Commission Regulation (EC) No. 8/2008 ) replaced.

Flight Crew Licensing (JAR-FCL)

Flight Crew Licensing (JAR-FCL) contains the regulations for the approval of cockpit personnel , i.e. pilots and flight engineers . In the German version of JAR-FCL, these are referred to as flight crew, as opposed to cabin crew, the flight attendants.

Maintenance

Regulations regarding maintenance companies and their staff are set out in the Commission Regulation (EC) No .: 1321/2014 that are binding for the member states of the EC. The administrative and technical requirements are detailed in the annexes

  • Annex I, Part M - Continuing Airworthiness Rules
  • Annex II, Part 145 - Requirements for the approval of maintenance organizations
  • Appendix III, Part 66 - Regulations for the Licensing of Certifying Personnel
  • Annex IV, Part 147 - Regulations for the Approval of Training Organizations for Part 66 Personnel
