ED Decision 2022/021/R

DIRECT SUPERVISION OF THE AIRWORTHINESS FUNCTION BY THE HEAD OF THE DESIGN ORGANISATION

To cope with unexpected circumstances, for a period of time, it is possible for the head of the design organisation (HDO) to directly supervise the airworthiness function activities. This period of time should be limited and should typically not exceed 6 months.

Such a situation should be discussed with EASA and may be subject to certain limitations (e.g. only continued airworthiness activities may be allowed).
