SPAES Approved for EASA CS-25 Avionics Modifications

Karlsruhe, Germany-based SPAES is now approved to provide avionics design and certification services for EASA CS-25 airplanes. The approval is an extension of the company’s EASA Part 21J independent design organization privileges.

These privileges enable SPAES to offer “the execution of supplemental type certificates and minor change and minor repair in the area of avionics, cabin interior, structure, electrical systems, NVIS, and medical equipment” for transport-category airplanes, according to the company. It also manufactures customer-specific products in addition to its own products, along with installation kits for Part 145 repair stations.

Benefits for SPAES customers include: “Integrated offering of development, manufacturing, and certification within EASA privileges; reduced interfaces and coordination effort across project phases; and improved planning reliability for aircraft modification programs.” Customers include air rescue operators and business aviation clients, and SPAES can modify aircraft with avionics upgrades and cabin and emergency medical modifications, “from technical design and implementation through to certification.”

“For our customers, this expanded scope means fewer handovers and a more streamlined project execution, especially for complex CS-25 modification programs,” said SPAES CEO Joachim Schanz.
