At this stage, it is hard to predict the outcome for UK-EU aviation safety agreements at the end of the transition period. Given this uncertainty, the FAQ information below should not be regarded as exhaustive and will be subject to change.
If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, Part 66 licence holders may need to take action to minimise impact on their privileges. Actions required would depend on individual circumstances and are a matter for each business and individual to consider. This page sets out what you need to consider to prepare for such an eventuality.
If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, the UK would be classified as a third country. Part 145 has provision to use non-EASA licences to support an approval issued in third countries. This is set out in Part 145.A.30 (j) paragraphs 1, 2 and Appendix IV. Certifying staff may be qualified in accordance with the national aviation regulations of the state in which the organisation facility is registered.
If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, CAA-issued licences would remain valid for use on aircraft registered in the UK that are maintained by organisations approved by the CAA. All CAA issued Licences would be re-issued to the new UK standard, removing EASA references over time. Timescales for this will be advised at a later date.
If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, you would not be able to continue to release EU-registered aircraft to service.
Yes. If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, it is intended that a Certificate of Recognition issued by a Part 147 approved organisation located outside the UK approved prior to the end of the transition period would be accepted for the issue or amendment of a UK-issued licence for up to two years.
Yes. If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, it is intended that a Certificate of Recognition for Module Examinations issued by either a UK-approved or non-UK Part 147 approved organisation would be accepted for the issue or amendment of a UK-issued licence (for the non-UK Part 147 organisation this would be limited for up to two years).
You would need to contact your local National Aviation Authority in the state where the aircraft you work on are registered. If UK participation in EASA ceases without mutual recognition of safety certificates and you work outside the EU and UK on EU-registered aircraft, your UK Part-66 licence would no longer be valid.
If UK participation in EASA and mutual recognition ceases, you would be able to hold both a UK and EASA Part 66 licence concurrently.
Yes. If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, it is intended that such Part 66 qualifications will continue to be recognised, but only for a period of up to two years.
Yes. If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, a Certificate of Recognition issued by a Part-147 approved organisation located outside the UK, which received its approval before the end of the transition period, would be accepted for the issue or amendment of a UK-issued licence for up to two years, provided the Part-147 approval also remained valid.
Yes. If UK participation in EASA ceases and there is no mutual recognition of safety certificates, it is intended that you would be able to continue to work on UK-registered aircraft for up to two years after the end of the transition period. Personnel working in organisations approved by the CAA who are based in the UK would need to obtain a UK CAA issued Part 66 licence after this point in time.
If UK participation in EASA ceases without mutual recognition of safety certificates, you are advised to contact EASA as soon as possible to discuss the application process in this scenario.
If UK participation in EASA ceases without mutual recognition of safety certificates, you are advised to contact EASA / EU NAA as soon as possible to discuss the application process in this scenario.
If UK participation in EASA ceases without mutual recognition of safety certificates, all EU regulations applicable at the point of UK exit would be retained in UK domestic legislation, including Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, Part M. This means owners, operators and Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMOs) would continue to review and apply applicable Airworthiness Directives to their respective fleets based on requirements for the aircraft and its engines, propellers and equipment as set out in CAP 747 Mandatory Requirements for Airworthiness, Airworthiness Directives issued or adopted by EASA, plus any Airworthiness Directives notified by the State of Design.
