How can operators address spare parts obsolescence? Can another Design Organisation Approval holder support the design and production of obsolete spare parts?
Answer
Yes. Subject to the applicable approval pathways, another DOA holder with the appropriate scope of work, sufficient access to the design data and an adequate production interface can support the development, approval and supply chain of alternative solutions through changes to the type certificate. Refer to List of all EASA DOA approvals under Design Organisations Approvals | EASA.
