On the 18th of May we will see a new version of 21.A.307 which stipulates on what conditions you may install parts without EASA Form 1. Today it contains some helpful alleviations for ELA2 aircraft. However, with the introduction of Regulation (EU) 2021/699 and 21.A.307 (c) this is seriously restricted and depending on how you interpret it some would say that it is more restrictive that just getting a Form 1 in the first place.
Here is the text in (c):
(c) Parts and appliances listed in point (b) are eligible for installation in a type-certified product without being accompanied by an EASA Form 1, provided that the installer holds a document issued by the person or organisation that manufactured the part or appliance, which declares the name of the part or appliance, the part number, and the conformity of the part or appliance with its design data, and which contains the issuance date.
[applicable from 18 May 2022 — Regulation (EU) 2021/699]
I have not found any reason for this change even though I have looked through the working material. I admit that I did not notice and answered the NPA when it was active.
EASA, was the intention of the rule to remove this opportunity or make it more restrictive? Or was it an unintentional error during the rulemaking process?
How should we as stake holders use this new version?
There is no AMC or GM to (c) either.
