BAAs and BASAs- Are you on top of them?

Have you ever wondered how or why you can accept a replacement part being imported from Germany, Canada, or somewhere else in the world? Better yet......have you ever received a part or component and wondered whether you could use it on your aircraft? Were you in compliance doing so? Well I hope that you at least ask yourself these sorts of questions when reviewing the airworthiness release before installing imported aircraft replacement parts.

In response to two recent inquiries, we'd like to expand upon a few key points regarding Bilateral Airworthiness Agreements and Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreements. More specifically with the latter half, BASA's. To cut straight to the most useful portion of the reciprocal cooperation between countries you need to go beyond the executive agreement and familiarize yourself with the associated Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness. Whether you're dealing with design approvals, production activities, or replacement parts this is where the details are outlined for you. (IE. Required paperwork, markings, approval processes, etc.) Here are a few links to get you pointed in the right direction. Our agreements with Germany, France, and Canada are among some of the strongest. Check it out and it may answer some of those "unanswered" questions and queries. Great information that could save you big especially with today's push on slamming the door shut on unapproved aircraft parts and components.
