Already in the early years of the civil aviation industry it became clear, that
transporting passengers and goods with aircraft would not confine itself to
national borders. It was also clear, that there would always be a certain
amount of risk and danger inherent in aviation. Therefore local and later on
international lawmaking was inevitable.
Rules and regulations were worked out for the following reasons:
Protection of people on the ground
Protection of paying passengers and cargo Protection of cockpit and
cabin crews
Standardisation of activities within the civil aviation industry
worldwide
To ensure safe, airworthy and reliable civil aircraft operation

Role of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) Objectives of the JAA arrangements:
The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) are representing the civil aviation
authorities of a number of European states, who have agreed to cooperate
in developing and implementing common safety regulatory standards and
procedures. This cooperation is intended to provide high and consistent
standards of safety and a "level playing field" for competition in Europe.
Much emphasis is also placed on harmonising JAA requirements with those
of the USA.
JAA's work was started in 1970. Originally its objectives were only to
produce common certification requirements for large aeroplanes and for
engines. This was to meet the needs of European industry particularly for
products manufactured by international organisations (like Airbus). Since
1987 its work has been extended to design, production, certification,
operation, maintenance and licensing for all classes of aircraft and engines.
Common procedures and approval requirements have been introduced in
these fields of the civil aviation industry. Today a single Joint Certification
team working on behalf of all JAA countries is used for certification of new
aircraft and engines. After the successful completion of the evaluations,
Type Certificates are issued simultaneously and on a common basis by all
JAA member states.
JAA membership is based on signing the "JAA arrangements document",
which was first signed on September 11, 1990 in Cyprus by the then active
15 member states. The text of the arrangement includes the following
wording:
ARRANGEMENT
CONCERNING
THE
DEVELOPMENT,
THE
ACCEPTANCE AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF JOINT AVIATION
REQUIREMENTS (JAR)
With this arrangement the JAA member aviation authorities commit
themselves to introducing the Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) as
obligatory regulations within their countries. Introduction dates are thereby
determined depending upon the status of the JAR.
Implementation of the JAR will be controlled with the JAA Standardisation
Teams.
