Following a thorough audit of the work of the Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia conducted from 4 to 9 October by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) team of experts, it has been concluded that European standards in the field of certification of pilot licenses, pilot training centers and medical certificates are successfully implemented by this aviation authority. This practically means that pilot licenses issued by the Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia are not only recognized throughout Europe but also highly valued.

 

According to the first preliminary results of the experts, Serbian aviation authority is among best in Europe in this field and among most successful within EASA member states. The official and detailed report is due to be submitted by the end of the next month. 

 

In addition to reviewing the work of CAD RS work, EASA also performed on-site checks of its activities, reviewing documentation of several training centers.

 

The purpose of the visit of the expert team was in-depth analysis and review of the level of application of the procedures contained within the working arrangements that CAD RS signed with the EASA in 2008.
