The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) which was started in 1969 was an associated body of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) representing the civil aviation regulatory authorities of a number of European States who had agreed to co-operate in developing and implementing common safety regulatory standards and procedures.
The JAA Membership was based on signing the "JAA Arrangements" document originally signed by the then current Member States in Cyprus in 1990.
JAA's functions:
The JAA's work began in 1970 (when it was known as the Joint Airworthiness Authorities). Originally its objectives were only to produce common certification codes for large aeroplanes and for engines. This was in order to meet the needs of European Industry and particularly for products manufactured by international consortia (e.g. Airbus). Since 1987 its work has been extended to operations, maintenance, licensing and certification/design standards for all classes of aircraft. In June 3-7,2002, there was 19th Annual FAA/JAA International Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. In this conference transition from JAA to EASA had been discussed.With the adoption of the Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (EU) and the subsequent set up of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) a new regulatory framework was created in European aviation.
According to this Regulation, for EU Member States national regulation in the airworthiness domain has been replaced by EU Regulation and certification tasks have been transferred from National Authorities to EASA, Non EU States maintain their responsibility in all fields.
Consequently, a "Roadmap" for the establishment of clear milestones for JAA's future was developed and adopted by the JAAB and by ECAC's DGs in August 2005 (FUJA Report) proposing a transformation from JAA into JAA T (T for "transition"), comprising a Liaison Office (LO) in Cologne (Germany) and a Training Office (TO) in Hoofddorp (The Netherlands). In November 2005 the EU Commission began the legislative process to amend EASA Regulation (EC) 1592/2002 to extend the competences of EASA into the fields of operations and licensing. In May 2006 minor amendments to the FUJA Report were agreed by the JAAB and ECAC's DGs contemplating practical arrangements to take into account the revised anticipated dates for the extension of EASA competences. Furthermore EU Regulation 1899/2006, dated 12 December 2006 was published on 27 December 2006. This Regulation amends Council Regulation 3922/1991. The amendment contained a new Annex II dealing with commercial flight operations and is referred to as EU OPS. Following an implementation period of 18 months, EU OPS became directly applicable as of 16 July 2008.
JAA's objectives:
- High uniform level of safety
- Cost-effective system
- Contribute to free circulation
- Promote the JAA system worldwide
Membership:
- 36 Member Authorities Pre-requisite for membership: European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) membership
- Concept of full / candidate members
Scope:
- Design and Manufacture; operation and maintenance of aircraft
- Licensing of aviation personnel
- Aircraft noise and emission
Closing:
Based upon a decision of ECACs DGs in adopting the FUJA II Report, it was decided to disband the JAA system per 30 June 2009 and to keep the JAA Training Organization running. The JAA Training Organization however will contiune to deliver training courses.

Since JAA was converted into EASA and JAAT with the FUJA report, it is role on aviation dramatically decrease and now it is only a training organization. However bypast JAA was a powerful European organization, it had the duties such as operations, maintenance, licensing and certification/design standards for all classes of aircraft. It is good to know that the JAA did not shut down and still on the aviation business as a training organization with all the experience it has and it is possible to take online courses from there.
YanıtlaSilJAA is used to be one of the most improved and advenced organizations in the European Union. However, it had been holding many tasks, and it would decrease the performance of the organisation since it is difficult the manage all the operations in one organisation. The aviation industry became one of the most advenced and threatful industry in the world. Therefore, this industry needs deeper concern. It was logical to divide the roles of the JAA in the different parts.
YanıtlaSilThanks to your blog I learned that people know JAA as Joint Airworthiness Authority after 1970 because I knew JAA as Joint Aviation Authority! Then, I was surprised about JAA's objective was only to produce certification for large aero planes! And finally, I would like to ask you why only large aero plane?
YanıtlaSilI thought, JAA was closed. But, after I read this article, I learned that its aim and the things which JAA controls came down by changing. By the time of progress, this instutions turned into a training organization.
