EASA Regular Update of Continuous Airworthiness Regulations; ASA Offers Comments

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has published its latest thoughts about how to improve the EASA continuous airworthiness provisions. These are published in an EASA comment response document and they remain open for public comment through March 31, 2026. The rule-making activity is identified as NPA 2025-12.

The Aviation Suppliers Association has posted comments on this draft document.

One comment that may be particularly important to members was a comment recommending additional text to better support disassembly of aircraft in Europe, and issue of EASA Form 1 for the parts that are removed from such aircraft.

Another ASA comment seeks to describe the state of being in “as removed” condition and to identify such parts as remaining in need of an airworthiness determination before use/installation.
