Regulation
(EU) 2020/270
(a) When the competent authority carries out
the airworthiness review and issues the ARC set out in Appendix IV to
this Annex (EASA Form 15c), the competent authority shall carry out an
airworthiness review in accordance with point ML.A.903.
(b) The competent authority shall have
appropriate airworthiness review staff to carry out the airworthiness reviews.
These staff shall have acquired all of the following:
(1) at least 3 years of experience in
continuing airworthiness;
(2) an appropriate licence in compliance with
Annex III (Part-66) or a nationally-recognised maintenance personnel
qualification appropriate to the aircraft category (when Article 5(6) of
Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 refers to national rules) or an aeronautical
degree or equivalent;
(3) an appropriate aeronautical-maintenance
training;
(4) a position that authorises that person to
sign on behalf of the competent authority.
Notwithstanding
points (1) to (4), the requirement of point ML.B.902(b)(2) may be replaced by
4 years of experience in continuing airworthiness, in addition to those
already required by point ML.B.902(b)(1).
(c) The competent authority shall maintain a
record of all airworthiness review staff, which shall include details of any
appropriate qualification held together with a summary of relevant continuing
airworthiness management experience and training.
(d) During the performance of the
airworthiness review, the competent authority shall have access to the
applicable data as specified in points ML.A.305
and ML.A.401.
(e) The staff that carries out the
airworthiness review shall issue an airworthiness review certificate (EASA Form 15c), as set out in Appendix IV, after
satisfactory completion of the airworthiness review.
(f) Whenever circumstances reveal the
existence of a potential safety threat, the competent authority shall carry
out the airworthiness review and issue the ARC itself.
Balloons require airworthiness review by aviation authorities. Qualified staff with experience, appropriate licenses/degrees, and maintenance training must conduct reviews. Authorities maintain staff records and access relevant data. A certificate is issued upon successful review. Authorities must perform reviews themselves if safety threats arise.
