Development of Production Organization Exposition (POE) to Include Requirements of AS/EN9100, EASA, FAA and DGCA India.

To gain access to new markets and technology resources, as well as low-cost and multi-currency-based sourcing and offset obligations, major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are expanding their footprint in Asia. It is mandatory to have EASA/FAA approvals including Civil Aviation Airworthiness approvals by DGCA, India for organizations engaged in manufacture of an aircraft/ component/ item of equipment or part to export products for commercial aircraft applications. Reyaneh Sayafi, Florence Leblond developed a Production Organization Exposition scheme taking into account EN9100 requirements. The objective was to study requirements of AS/EN9100, EASA, FAA and DGCA (India) to harmonize and prepare a concise Production Organization Exposition (POE) that complies with all requirements. This paper includes development of Production Organization Exposition (POE) manual to incorporate requirements of Quality Management Systems- Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Organizations (AS/EN 9100), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 21 G, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) CFR 14 Part 21 G and DGCA, India Part 21 Subpart G. A detailed comparison of AS/EN 9100, EASA, FAA and DGCA (India) requirements of Production Organization Exposition (POE) is conducted. A cross reference matrix has been prepared. For each important topic, it covers regulations, similarities and differences and then a harmonization which defines a common structure of procedures of Production Organization Exposition (POE) incorporating AS/EN9100, EASA, FAA and DGCA (India) requirements. Efforts in planning stage will ensure stringent requirements are deployed and enable minimum preparation time required to take up approvals from Civil Aviation Authorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
