EXPERT OPINION
Will new EASA regulations contributeto the global deficiency of technicalpersonnel?
From the 1st of August, 2013, the updated requirements for content and duration for
EASA Part-147 approved Type and Basic Training have become mandatory. On the
one hand, stricter requirements for the existing aircraft maintenance licences are
expected to raise the quality of the service their holders provide. On the other hand, as
the industry is facing an unprecedented demand for technical personnel, may the
implementation of such changes create an even more complicated situation in the
market?

The Ulyanovsk-based Aviastar-SP has recently launched the production of the
upgraded Il-76 transport aircraft. Despite the considerably fast manufacturing rates of

15 years old. This means that, considering their popularity in the former USSR and the
emerging markets, there is a steady demand for their maintenance and spare parts
support. How ever, meeting this demand can be more of a challenge than it may seem.

The main effect of the recent global economic crisis on the military aviation segment
w as the grow th of military MRO sector, since in the f inancially challenging times
countries prefer to update or repair their aircraft instead of spending money on new
equipment. Another easily observed trend w hich can be largely attributed to the latest
economic turmoil is the increasing number of institutions choosing to outsource their
military MRO services. Nevertheless, some regulatory factors may be getting in the
w ay of the operators w ishing to receive full benefits of contracting third-party
