'Role of ICAO ( International Civil Aviation Organization )
• • • • •
• •
The ICAO is a worldwide union of aviation authorities and a sub organization of the United Nations (UN). Its headquarter is in Montreal, Canada. ICAO was established on 7th December 1944 in Chicago . United States invited 54 nations who met together to form ICAO . lCAO establishes international standards and recommends operating practices and procedures. It covers the technical field of aviation, ICAO develops a code of international air law for 190 countries (at present ).

•
t Aviation Authorities (JAA), started in 1970 it is based in Hoofddorp the Netherlands, The t Aviation Authorities (JAA) was. an association body of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) representing the civil aviation authorities of Member State which signed the "JAA Arrangements , document established in the conference of Cyprus. in Sept 1990. The JAA Member States agreed to cooperate in developing and implementing common safety regulatory standards and procedures .

t Aviation Authorities (JAA) •
•
The did their best to harmonise their practices with the t Aviation Authorities (JAA), this system led to differing interpretations, which adversely affected the efficiency of regulation and increased compliance. A transition to the EASA system and decision-making based on the European Community method will mark a significant improvement in the execution of certification and rulemaking.

Transfer from JAA to EASA • • •
With the creation of EASA in 2002, the EU transferred the airworthiness regulations away from the JAA. Over time, EASA became responsible for operations and licensing as well. In 2009 the JAA system was disbanded. Only the training organisation (JAA-TO) remains, it mainly provides courses for CAA staff of European countries.

Role of European commission • • • • • •
The European Parliament: it is the elected body that represents the Europe citizens . It exercises political supervision and takes part in the legislative process. The Council of the European Union (also known as the Council of Ministers): it is the EU's main decision-making body. The EU member states take it in turns to hold the Presidency of the Council for a period of six months. Every Council meeting is attended by one minister from each EU country. The Council has legislative power, ·which it shares with the European Parliament . The European Commission: it is the EUs executive arm. This means that it is the only institution that can propose new laws, on which the European Parliament and Council of the EU then vote.

Role of EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency ) •
•
• •
• • • • • • •
The Agency was temporarily based in Brussels, but moved to Cologne ( in ), on 2nd November 2004. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is the European Union's Agency which has the main role of promoting the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation. The agency was established by the European Parliament Basic Regulation n. 1592/2002 issued on 15/07/2002 (replaced by n EC.216/2008 issued on 20/02{2008). This Regulation was done because of the need to provide common rules to the European civil aviation field on: 1 . Safety levels 2. Quality standards 3. Environmental compatibility 4. Goods and services movement 5. Cooperation with third Countries. The EASA has a web site. (www.easa.eu-int)

OPS part 1 subpart B -OPS 1.030 MMEL/MEL An operator shall establish, for each Aeroplane, a Minimum Equipment List (MEL) approved by the Authority. The MEL shall be based upon, but no less, restrictive than, the relevant Master Minimum Equipment List MMEL An operator shall not operate an Aeroplane other than in accordance with the MEL unless, permitted by the Authority. Any such permission will in no circumstances permit operation outside the constraints of the MMEL. The MMEL is usually issued by a design organization (the Type Certificate holder) and identifies the equipment or functions which may be inoperative for operation. AII the items related to airworthiness, not included must be operative, while a nonsafety-related equipment (for example, galleys) is excluded. The MEL must be approved by the certificating authority (NAA). An MEL is similar in content to the MMIEL except that it is specific to a particular operator and to individual aircraft.

A Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA), or an airworthiness certificate, is issued for an aircraft by the national aviation authority in the state in which the aircraft is ed. ( i.e DGCA of Lebanon ) The airworthiness certificate proves that the aircraft is airworthy as the aircraft conforms to its type design. ( Aircraft publications such as AMM , IPC , WDM etc.. ) Each airworthiness certificate is issued in one of a number of different categories. A certificate of airworthiness is issued when the aircraft is ed in the name of the owner without expiration date . A yearly currency fee is payable to renew the Certificate of Airworthiness. If this fee is not paid when due, the certificate expires and the owner must apply again for this certificate to be issued. The Certificate of Airworthiness can only remain valid when a certificate of release to service from the maintenance facility declares that the maintenance has been carried out and the aircraft is then certified as being airworthy.

Continuing airworthiness ensurs that, all aircraft comply with the airworthiness requirements and are in a condition for safe operation. No aircraft may be operated unless in airworthy condition Two conditions must be met before an aircraft can be consider airworthy": 1.. The aircraft conforms to type design. 2. The aircraft is in condition for safe operation. The first condition is achieved when proper components are installed, in accordance with with drawings, specifications and other data that are part of the Type Certificate, The second condition is refers to the condition of the aircraft with relation to wear and deterioration that occurs during its operative life.

Maintenance requirements, that involves the preparation by the organization responsible for the type design of the specifications methods, procedures and tasks necessary to maintain the aircraft and publication of this information in a format that can be readily adapted for use by an operator. 3. Company Maintenance Programmed (CMP), as seen as the adoption by each operator of specifications, methods, procedures and tasks using the information provided by the organization responsible for the type design, and preparing that material in the form of a maintenance programme suitable for its operation. 4. Reporting reporting of defects and other significant maintenance and operational information by the operator to the organization responsible for the type design
