FAA–EASA Maintenance Approval: Review the Annex, Supplement, and Manuals Together
· 4 min read
An organisation working under both FAA and EASA maintenance approval arrangements can have several authoritative documents in play: regulations, the bilateral maintenance annex, implementation guidance, approval certificates, supplements, manuals and local procedures. The danger is collapsing them into one “Part 145” search result and missing which authority, approval or edition a paragraph belongs to.
This is a document-review workflow, not an interpretation of a particular organisation's privileges. It shows how a future multi-authority Aviation.Bot library could make the source trail easier to inspect.
