The Regulation establishes common technical requirements and administrative procedures to ensure the continuing airworthiness of aircraft (including any component for installation thereto) that are either registered in a Member State (unless safety oversight is delegated to a third country and not used by an EU operator) or registered in a third country and used by an EU operator where oversight is delegated to a Member State. It also ensures compliance with essential requirements of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 for certain dry leased-in aircraft.

Which aircraft are covered by the continuing airworthiness requirements of Regulation (EU) 2015/1536?

The Regulation covers aircraft registered in a Member State (unless their regulatory safety oversight has been delegated to a third country and they are not used by an EU operator) and aircraft registered in a third country and used by an EU operator, where their regulatory safety oversight has been delegated to a Member State.

Under what condition does Regulation (EU) 2015/1536 apply to aircraft registered in a third country?

It applies to aircraft registered in a third country and used by an EU operator, but only when their regulatory safety oversight has been delegated to a Member State.

The Regulation covers any component for installation on aircraft that are registered in a Member State (unless oversight is delegated to a third country and not used by an EU operator) or registered in a third country and used by an EU operator with oversight delegated to a Member State. It also covers components for installation on aircraft registered in a third country that are dry leased-in by a licence air carrier under Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, when oversight has not been delegated to a Member State.

What is the legal basis for the essential requirements that must be met for dry leased-in aircraft under Regulation (EU) 2015/1536?

The essential requirements are set out in Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, specifically for continuing airworthiness of aircraft registered in a third country and components for installation thereon.

Does Regulation (EU) 2015/1536 apply to aircraft registered in a third country that are not used by an EU operator?
