EASA Regulatory Essentials: A Comprehensive Introduction to Parts 21, M, 66, 145 & 147
Course Overview
This course provides a detailed understanding of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulatory structure and its application to aircraft design, production, maintenance, and personnel licensing. It introduces learners to the core EASA Parts — 21, M, 66, 145, and 147 — explaining their scope, technical requirements, and interrelationships. Participants will gain insights into certification processes, continuing airworthiness, maintenance standards, and training organization approvals under the EASA system.
