“So much more than a signature”

 

What can we do for you!

Since 2011, ADSE is approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) as a Design Organisation, registered under EASA.21J.481. This approval gives ADSE the privilege to independently assess and approve modifications to aircraft and rotorcraft.

As an independent engineering consultant firm, the scope of our Design Organisation is quite extensive. Although ADSE does not design and produce aircraft, our Design Organisation is capable of doing so!

  • Type of Aircraft. Our approval is applicable to small and large aeroplanes (CS23 and CS25), as well as small and large rotorcraft (CS27 and CS29).
  • Technical Fields of Expertise. Due to our broad technical scope we can certify changes throughout the aircraft. This includes: Avionics, Installation of avionics equipment, Structure, Aircraft performance, Electrical systems, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Environmental systems, Cabin interiors, Galleys or other interiors equipment.
  • Compliance Verification Engineers (CVE). Cabin Safety, Fire Safety, Electrical Systems, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Avionics, Structures, Aircraft Performance, Aerodynamics and Flight Handling, Environmental Control Systems, Ice and Rain Protection.

Type of activities. As an independent Design Organisation we design, certify and approve minor changes, major changes, STCs, and repair designs within the scope of our approval. Leave your cabin reconfiguration, Emergency Equipment Layout, avionics installation, or Aircraft’s PED Tolerance in ADSEs capable hands. We create the approved design you want, and provide you with the Service Bulletin needed.

Type of Customers. We work directly under our own approval for airline operators, maintenance repair organization and (VIP) completion centers to provide the approved modification needed. In addition we work with our partner Design Organisations as subcontractor using a DO-DO arrangement.
