EASA Compliance for FAA Repair Stations and US Operators

Who we help

• FAA Part 145 repair stations working on EU-registered aircraft or components
• Part 135 and business aviation operators flying to Europe
• Flight schools training European students
• Part 21 design and production approval holders preparing for the FAA SMS requirement

Working on European aircraft means meeting European rules

Under the EU–US aviation safety agreement, FAA repair stations that maintain EU-registered aircraft or components must hold an EASA approval and comply with EASA's special conditions. Each requirement must be written into your procedures, understood by your staff and visible on every release.

How it works

Meet your consultant

Hi, I'm Alain François, founder of Aero Consulting.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience in aviation compliance, I've learned one thing: regulations don't fix aircraft, people do.

I bring the European perspective to your team — remotely, with clarity, transparency and a direct human connection. My goal is simple: help you bridge the gap between FAA operations and EASA requirements, one tail number at a time.

(And yes, the French accent comes for free!)
