In addition to these fundamental intentions, the BASA agreements also specifically setting its focus on<\/p>\n
- \n
- the mutual recognition of the authorities and their bodies<\/li>\n
- and, above all, definition of requirements for mutual recognition of product and component certificates as well as Maintenance Organization Approvals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This is where the benefits for day-to-day operations and official duties lie.<\/p>\n

BASA stands for Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement and is a binding treaty between EU and US (and other countries) under international law.<\/p>\n
MAG stands for Maintenance Annex Guidance and is an agreement between EASA and FAA (and some other aviation authorities).<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”7c0ad95c-dcf2-4930-9631-952e4eeba957″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
The BASA Agreements regulate the procedures regarding<\/p>\n
- \n
- the cross-border certification of civil aeronautical products, repair procedures and showing of compliance<\/li>\n
- the handling of ADs and the monitoring of civil aeronautical products;<\/li>\n
- as well as in the approval and monitoring of Maintenance Organizations, particularly in the respective other territory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If there is no intergovernmental BASA agreement between the EU and a third country, cooperation and mutual recognitions are regulated by contracts directly between EASA and the national aviation authority of the country concerned. This is the case, for example, with the GCCA for the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

BASA Agreement – Structure of the BASAs and the associated documents<\/strong><\/h3>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”7c0ad95c-dcf2-4930-9631-952e4eeba957″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
The BASA agreement is usually divided into three levels, with the level of detail increasing with each level:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The first level is an executive agreement<\/li>\n
- Below this, on the second level, there are appendices, so-called annexes, which contain procedures for the recognition of certifications and approvals as well as operating licenses and maintenance procedures<\/li>\n
- At the third and lowest level, which is defined at authority level, there are\n
- \n
- The Technical Implementation Procedures (TIP)<\/li>\n
- And the Maintenance Annex Guidance (MAG)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The agreements stipulate that the authorities of the other side are to be used as far as possible for local monitoring. EASA is therefore responsible for monitoring that US requirements are implemented in European Maintenance Organizations with US approval. As is so often the case, EASA is supported by the National Aviation Authorities (NAA).<\/p>\n
On the US side, responsibility lies in the hands of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In the USA, this must ensure that US Maintenance Organizations holding an EASA Approval comply with European requirements.<\/p>\n

Introduction: BASA MAG<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The executive agreement, this means the actual BASA agreement, consists of only a few pages and essentially contains obligations for constructive, trusting cooperation between the EU and the USA and their aviation authorities.<\/p>\n
The additional protocols, on the other hand, are of particular interest:<\/p>\n
- \n
- the Maintenance Annex Guide (MAG), which contains specifications and instructions for maintenance and repairs as well as for continuing airworthiness.<\/li>\n
- the Technical Implementation Procedures, TIP for short. These are detailed guidelines and specifications for the design and certification of aircraft and components, including PMA parts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It can be seen from the respective focal points that the TIPs are aimed at EASA Part 21, while the BASA MAG relates to Part 145.<\/p>\n

The BASA MAG is divided into 5 sections.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Section A: Authority Interaction.<\/li>\n
- Section B: Certification for U.S.-based Repair Stations.<\/li>\n
- Section C: Certification procedure for approved Maintenance Organizations in the EU.<\/li>\n
- Section D: Entry into force and termination.<\/li>\n
- Section E: Authority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Section C is therefore particularly important for European Maintenance Organisations. This is divided into the following parts:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Initial certification process<\/li>\n
- Renewal of the authorization<\/li>\n
- Change\/Amendment to the approval<\/li>\n
- Revisions to the FAA Supplement to the MOE<\/u><\/em><\/li>\n
- Revocation, suspension and waiver<\/li>\n
- Appeal and conflict resolution<\/li>\n
- Appendices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Guidelines for the maintenance annex (MAG) – general<\/h2>\n

The starting point for the creation and design of the Maintenance Annex Guidance was a delta analysis between FAA and EASA requirements. For the BASA MAG, EASA Part 145 was compared with the US 14 CFR Parts 43 and 145.
Special Conditions were then derived from the deltas to cover the requirements of the other party. Only if a Maintenance Organization based in the EU and approved in accordance with EASA Part 145 meets the US Special Conditions the approval requirements for an FAA Repair Station are met.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”e1fbf107-ca39-4ee4-b671-ebf4d2633462″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”e1fbf107-ca39-4ee4-b671-ebf4d2633462″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_cta title=”Do you need support with BASA MAG?” button_url=”https:\/\/aeroimpulse.de\/en\/contact\/” button_text=”Contact form” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”b2ab463a-fbaa-439c-b9ee-1e3ac6f1fafa” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-a4d4b690-c5d0-4305-acd7-d33639818f8a%22:%91%22button_text_color%22,%22button_bg_color__hover%22,%22button_border_color__hover%22,%22body_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-7017af99-804f-4997-adc0-e93f5909dcff%22:%91%22button_text_color__hover%22,%22button_border_color%22%93,%22gcid-447063c4-da45-48e1-96cb-01977443b517%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93}” button_bg_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_border_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_text_color__hover=”#151d45″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

In principle, any European 145 Maintenance Organisation can apply for approval as an FAA Repair Station in accordance with 14 CFR Part 145.<\/p>\n
However, the following three things should be noted<\/p>\n
