"Rules"
Part 21 or Part 145? And which one do I need for my Organisation?
The EASA regulatory framework is wide and complex. In this article we try to clarify some of the peculiarity related to the so called “Initial and Continuing Airworthiness”, which (among others) includes the design organisations (DOA), the production organisations (POA) and the maintenance organisations (MOA).
Are Aviation Authorities getting out of their role?

Which license can be used to carry out EASA maintenance works outside the EU?
The chance to authorise engineers holding a non-Part-66 license makes the business more easy though still safe. MRO located outside the EU may then support the maintenance of EU registered aircraft grounded overseas by employing personnel holding a valid ICAO license, even though it is not an EASA Part 66 AML.
What is a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) in a Part 147 Organisation?
