The Importance of Getting It Right

Obtaining an EASA approval is not just about checking off requirements—it’s about embedding regulatory compliance within your organizational culture. This proactive approach ensures you are not just reacting to issues but shaping your business processes to meet the highest standards.

Lessons from the Field

Many organizations stumble in their pursuit of EASA approvals due to a lack of understanding and preparation. From inadequate internal controls to insufficient knowledge of regulatory requirements, the pitfalls are numerous—but avoidable. Our consultancy focuses on empowering your team to take control, ensuring that you have the right knowledge, manpower, and resources to succeed.

Case Studies and Insights

1. EASA Part 21G POA: A company seeking this approval struggled with understanding the DOA-POA relationship and the complexities involved. Our guidance clarified their path, but their realization of the project's true scope highlighted the importance of preparation and feasibility studies.
2. EASA Part 145 AMO: In another instance, a large organization faced 20+ findings from EASA. By focusing on building a knowledgeable core team, we could have helped them streamline the process. Unfortunately, their decision to train the entire organization instead of focusing on key personnel led to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs.
3. CAMO Approval: Transitioning from FAA to EASA standards proved challenging for one client, illustrating the need for deep regulatory competence. Our CAMO Diploma Program offers the comprehensive training required to meet these rigorous standards.
4. Maintenance Control Centre (MCC): Establishing an MCC requires ownership and commitment from the organization. Without these, the project cannot succeed. We provide the tools and support, but you must lead the way.

The Sofema Approach

At Sofema, we believe in guiding you to do it yourself rather than doing it for you. This philosophy ensures that you retain control and understanding of your processes, making your EASA approval a stepping stone to long-term success. Our approach is cost-effective, focusing on building lasting relationships rather than short-term gains.
