EASA is responsible for new type certificates and other design-related airworthiness approvals for aircraft, engines, propellers and parts. EASA works with the EU member states' civil aviation authorities (CAAs) but has taken over many of their functions in the interest of aviation standardisation across the EU and in the non-EU member Turkey.

Aerospace bearings are the bearings installed in aircraft and aerospace systems including commercial, private, military, or space applications. Materials include M50 tool steel (AMS6491), carbon chrome steel (AMS6444), the corrosion resistant AMS5930, 440C stainless steel, silicon nitride (ceramic) and titanium carbide-coated 440C.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was created in 2003 and reached full functionality in 2008, and has since taken over most of the JAA functions. JAA Certification Specifications, formerly known as JARs, are recognised by EASA as an acceptable basis for showing compliance with their national airworthiness codes.
JAR-OPS 1 is the Joint Aviation Requirement for the operation of commercial air transport (aeroplanes). Any commercial airline within the European Union flying jet or propeller aircraft has to comply with this standard.
Gas-lubricated bearings are classified in two groups, depending on the source of pressurization of the gas film providing the load-carrying capacity: Aerostatic bearings: The gas is externally pressurized (using a compressor or a pressure tank) and injected in the clearance of the bearing. Consequently, aerostatic bearings can sustain loads ...
Similar standards are maintained by other aviation authorities. For example European Technical Standard Orders (ETSO) by EASA for the European Union, [3] with limited reciprocal equivalence on a per-country basis. [4] These often have the same numbers as FAA TSOs. For example, the FAA TSO for aviation headsets is C139.
ATA Spec 100 [1] ' and iSpec 2200 [2] are information standards for aviation maintenance and flight operations [3] published by Airlines for America (formerly Air Transport Association). [ 4 ] These standards provide recommended specifications for the content, structure and deliverables to meet communication requirements [physical, electronic ...
c:"Import aircraft.") of this section is entitled to a standard airworthiness certificate if -- (1) He presents evidence to the Administrator that the aircraft conforms to a type design approved under a type certificate or a supplemental type certificate and to applicable Airworthiness Directives; (2) The aircraft (except an experimentally ...
