Mapping the bilateral environment by Frank MANUHUTU 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, 7-9 June Progress JAA-EASA (1) In the field of certification and airworthiness JAA has adapted its certification and maintenance procedures, to allow involvement of EASA and non-EASA JAA countries in each others processes and facilitate mutual acceptance of each others technical findings (see e.g. Swiss FOCA); one fundamental element for such acceptance is the JAA standardisation process ;

JAA remains responsible for the overall standardisation process, including the issuing of the statement of mutual recognition.

Mapping the bilateral environment by Frank MANUHUTU 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, 7-9 June Progress JAA-EASA (3) In the field of rulemaking efforts are being undertaken to avoid duplication of rulemaking activities, and at the same time, to ensure sufficient involvement of those non EASA JAA countries in the EASA rulemaking process; This should facilitate acceptance by non EASA JAA countries of the EASA rules in their national system and consequently lead to a single system in Europe. In this respect it has been advocated that these countries should be represented in EASA’s Advisory Group of National Authorities (AGNA);

Mapping the bilateral environment by Frank MANUHUTU 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, 7-9 June Progress and benefits The progress and benefits do not only illustrate how well the cooperation is between EASA and [central] JAA. In particular, the importance of a pan-European solution should be underlined, and Let’s not forget the worldwide perspective Where needed, JAA’s flexible work mechanism has proved useful.

For OPS and LIC: a period of stagnation/ dead space might be a risk; there is minimal discussion/activity concerning harmonisation e.g. with our main non-JAA partner, the FAA; In the absence of a clearer statement by EASA, JAA might be perceived as more and more irrelevant by partners in other regions; Individual JAA-NAA might tend to act in isolation instead of in a harmonised way and as a collective within the JAA frame; A number of issues can’t simply be held over until EASA is ready to deal with them;

Mapping the bilateral environment by Frank MANUHUTU 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, 7-9 June Proposed way forward Continue dialogue with EASA – resulting in a clear transition plan for certain important issues; – To develop, agree and publish a handover plan for Ops and Lic so that all parties have a clear idea of how the issues can be progressed by JAA in the meantime – whilst waiting for EASA to take them over in due course.

Mapping the bilateral environment by Frank MANUHUTU 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, 7-9 June Proposed way forward Continued support from JAA to non-EASA ECAC member states; Re-design cooperation with FAA; Continue relationship with other partners; Until all JAA activities have been integrated in EASA…
