If you`re in the aviation industry, you may have recently heard about the EASA Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement. But what exactly is it, and how will it impact aviation safety?
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is an agency of the European Union (EU) responsible for civil aviation safety. It was established in 2002 and has since been working to ensure the highest level of safety in the European skies.
The EASA Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement, or BASA, is an agreement between the EASA and a non-EU country to recognize each other`s aviation safety certification systems. This means that the two parties agree to accept each other`s certifications for aircrafts, products, and personnel as equivalent.
So why is this important for aviation safety? By recognizing each other`s certifications, the EASA and the non-EU country can streamline the certification process and reduce duplication of effort. This means that aviation safety standards can be maintained while also providing for more efficient and cost-effective certification processes.
The EASA has already signed BASAs with several countries, including the United States, Canada, and Brazil. These agreements have been successful in improving aviation safety and facilitating trade between the countries.
In addition to facilitating trade, BASAs also have a positive impact on aviation safety by promoting international cooperation and information sharing. By recognizing each other`s certification systems, the EASA and non-EU countries can work together to identify potential safety risks and ensure that appropriate measures are taken to address them.
Overall, the EASA Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement is an important step forward in promoting aviation safety and international cooperation. By recognizing each other`s certifications, the EASA and non-EU countries can ensure that aviation safety standards are maintained while also promoting trade and efficiency. As the aviation industry continues to grow and evolve, BASAs will play an important role in ensuring that safety remains a top priority.
