EASA Airworthiness Review Certificate

Read the official rule

This page outlines the process for obtaining an Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC), which signifies that an aircraft meets safety standards after a thorough evaluation. Depending on the type of aircraft and its operations, either the AESA or authorized personnel can issue the ARC. It emphasizes the importance of compliance with maintenance records and the requirement to notify the appropriate authorities upon issuance or extension of an ARC.

Key points

  • An Airworthiness Review Certificate confirms an aircraft's safety compliance after review.
  • AESA can issue ARCs for aircraft registered in Spain, while authorized personnel may also be involved.
  • Notifications of ARC issuance must be sent to the Member State of registry within 10 days.
