The Federal Aviation Administration has announced the U.S. field workshops in support of the implementation of the new agreement between the U.S. and the European Community on the Cooperation in the Regulation of Civil Aviation Safety (BASA).
The FAA, in cooperation with EASA, will conduct workshops in the U.S. that focus on providing aviation safety inspectors and the aviation industry with EASA Part 145 certification the tools and knowledge to transition to the new agreement. Topics covered will include:
- Maintenance Annex Guide (MAG) content and application.
- Manual requirements.
- Certification and renewal process.
- Timeline and process for transfer of maintenance organizations.
Each of the meetings includes an agency day and an industry day. The only three industry meeting dates are:

- Sept. 16; in Baltimore, Md.
It is strongly recommended that all attendees read and are thoroughly familiar with the MAG http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/repair/media/MAG.pdf.
