The supreme discipline of aeronautical service provision
AeroImpulse – your competent partner for EASA approvals
Your advantage
With an official approval from the European Safety Agency (EASA) companies can not only deliver aircraft components, but also create the conditions for being a system supplier. With such official approvals companies can issue Approved Data or an EASA Form 1 and thus also place complex aviation components on the market. The three industrial standard approvals are those of the
- Subpart 21/J for design organization,
- Subpart 21/G for production organization,
- Part 145 for maintenance organization.
Our Competence
AeroImpulse supports your organisation on the way to an EASA approval. Our customers profit in a unique way from our industry expertise and enthusiasm for aviation quality management: through years of project and certification experience, sound methodological knowledge and practical know-how gained from consulting and audits. We are the ideal partner if your organization is seeking an authority approval as an official aeronautical organization.
Your challenges
What’s the problem?
In Europe, the design, production and maintenance of aeronautical products is regulated by strict requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). For example, companies that want to operate on the market as independent companies require an operating license from EASA or the national aviation authority.
Gain expertise
In addition to the capacitive burdens, there is usually a lack of expertise. Familiarization with the EASA texts is laborious. Understanding, interpreting and implementing the legal texts in a practical manner almost always causes problems for companies with little or no experience in the aviation industry. This applies to the EASA regulations themselves (Implementing Rules and their subparts) as well as in particular to the important interpretation material (Guidance Material / Acceptable Means of Compliance – AMC), which is only available in English.
Create capacity
If your organization has applied for one of these approvals and the agency does not raise any fundamental concerns, you will have to overcome some hurdles in your quality management systems (see box). The implementation of EASA Approvals therefore means a complicated additional task for every QM representative over many months. In addition, processes must also be adjusted throughout the entire company and employees, as well as managers in particular, must be qualified for their new tasks.

Auditing according to EASA Part 21 or 145
Audit is one of the fastest and most effective tools for identifying weaknesses in a quality system. However, its usefulness stands and falls with the auditor’s qualification. We support you in conducting aeronautical audits according to Part 21 or Part 145. Use our audits as a “dry run” for your approval audit or for ongoing vulnerability identification. Even after the initial audit, EASA and LBA require aviation-approved organizations to undergo regular audits, and we will be happy to assist you in this process. With qualified EN 9100 auditors who have sound knowledge of air law, we carry out first and/or second party audits (external supplier audits) competently with the necessary objectivity. We check or monitor the quality capability of your company or that of your key suppliers based on the EASA standard.
Aviation legislation Training
In Only a few employees are familiar in detail with the aeronautical specifications and a practical interpretation. We therefore bring you closer to the world of aeronautical quality management in the language of everyday business. AeroImpulse offers practical training for QM professionals or beginners. Our training courses are conducted by trainers with in-depth knowledge of aviation law, both theoretical and practical.
We design the training courses in terms of type and scope and depending on the target group according to the needs of your company. For this purpose, we offer one-day or multi-day trainings. Our training spectrum includes classic air law training according to EASA Part 21/J (development), 21/G (production) or Part 145 (maintenance). In addition, AeroImpulse conducts training courses on specific design or approval aspects, such as safety assessment or qualification and approval of components.
The focus of these trainings are:
- Fundamentals of aviation quality management,
- Understanding of EASA rules as well as guidance material and AMC,
- Introduction to the documentation and compliance requirements,

Accountable Manager / Form 4 Holder Coaching
Management staff must be appointed by EASA or NAA as a Form 4 Holder. The appointment is only made after an official suitability interview in which the manager has to prove the professional suitability and the knowledge of the corresponding EASA part. The Accountable Manager and the so-called Form 4 holders or postholders (QM representative, development / production manager) are affected by this regulation. Especially for managers who have little in depth expertise of aviation legislation, the EASA interview is a challenge. We prepare your Accountable Manager or Form 4 holders for regulatory interviews through one-on-one or small group coaching sessions.
- Introduction to aeronautical quality management,
- Explanation of the regulatory requirement for certificated aeronautical operations,
- Detailed examination of the specifications of the respective EASA Part,
- Basic content of related interpretive material (Guidance Material and AMC),
- Responsibilities and authorisations management staff in everyday working life,
- Stumbling blocks and correct behavior in an interview,
- Implementation examples from practice through constant case studies and practical solutions.
