Introduction
The Aviation Authorities listed in the tables below are recognised by DASA. The recognition certificates linked in the right-most column detail the scope, conditions and caveats that must be taken into account prior to exploiting recognition provisions. Any current version of the recognition certificate may be used to form a means of compliance with a regulation provided that the means of compliance relies on only one version; i.e. parts of the scope/conditions/caveats from different versions should not be ‘mixed and matched’ to form a single means of compliance.
Note: Where a Form 1 equivalent has been identified by name in the table, these artefacts may be directly consumed without applying any checks beyond those that should normally be performed when consuming a DASR Form 1.
Note: Countries whose military or civil aviation authorities recognise DASA are identified by an asterisk (*) in the tables.
DASP Manual Volume 3 section 6.5 provides further details on the recognition provisions of the DASR.
Jul 24 - CAMO direct consumption of recognised data
Note regarding CAMO consumption of recognised data for modifications and repairs
DASA is in the process of amending DASR Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Recognition Certificates to clarify and streamline the provisions for CAMO direct consumption of data for modifications and repairs. AMC to DASR M.A.304(d) has now been updated and Recognition Certificates will be updated in due course. In the interim, where there is misalignment between AMC and Certificates, the AMC takes precedence. The key points are:
- For CAMOs consuming data that does not have a recognised major/minor classification, the amended AMC retains the provision for a CAMO to classify products that are clearly minor in accordance with a procedure approved by DASA (see AMC para 6).
- For recognised minor modifications and minor repairs, the CAMO is no longer required to ensure that holder obligations are carried out in accordance with DASR 21. Until certificates are updated, such requirements should be disregarded and CAMOs should instead refer to AMC para 11.
- Updated Recognition Certificates will provide clarity on whether or not recognised modifications and repairs carry a valid major/minor classification (ie aligned to DASR 21.A.91 Classification of changes to a type-certificate). If there is any doubt in the interim, please contact DASA.
These changes do not invalidate any means of compliance currently applied by CAMOs in accordance with an approved Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition (CAME). Any applications for CAME amendment should reference the updated AMC or propose an Alternative Means of Compliance. For further information, please contact the relevant DASA Continuing Airworthiness team.
