to EASA and the FAA, TCCA, CAAC and ANAC will be present. Your contribution to the workshop is requested no later than June 1, 2012. This date is the last date EASA may accept submitted questions, views and proposals in advance. For the first time, EASA will charge for this event. For those members who are involved in equipment approvals, check the event page of the EASA website for details on contribution, registration and hotel information. NPA 2012-03 issued in April provided a revised wording for Part 145 maintenance organizations regarding the acceptance of component suppliers. Since the acceptance of components from external sources revealed problems, such as

the supply of unapproved or counterfeit parts, EASA decided to propose a revision to the rule and provide additional guidance to avoid a similar situation in the future. One of the reasons to act now was FAA AC 00-56, which describes a system for the voluntary accreditation of parts distributers on the basis of voluntary industry oversight. The NPA proposes the classification and segregation of components in different categories and provides guidance on how suppliers of components should be evaluated. A revised text to 145.A.42 and a newly added AMC and GM to 145.A.42(a) also is part of the proposal. Comments to this NPA via the comment response tool should be received by the agency no later than July 12, 2012.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Europe
European Datalink Requirements
The following information is found on the Eurocontrol website.

QUESTION: What are the dates by which aircraft must be datalink equipped in order to operate within European airspace? ANSWER: Datalink services rules, as well as other FAQs, can be found on the Eurocontrol DLS Link 2000+ Programme website at www.eurocontrol.int/link2000/public/subsite_homepage/homepage.html.

Forward Fit: The date for forward fit is Jan. 1, 2011, as stated in implementing rule article 3(2). All aircraft with an individual certificate of airworthiness first issued on or after this date must have the capability to operate the defined datalink services when flying in the specified airspace. This is the forward fit date. In IR article 15 the entry into force date of Feb. 7, 2013, refers to the date of availability of the end-to-end service, which includes the ground capability. This date does not change the applicability of the aircraft forward fit date of Jan. 1, 2011. Retrofit: The date for retrofit is Feb. 5, 2015, as stated in IR article 3(3). All aircraft with an individual CoA first issued before Jan. 1, 2011, must have been retrofitted with the capability to operate the defined datalink services when flying in the specified airspace by Feb. 5, 2015. This is the retrofit date.
