Which organization regulates the training requirements for maintenance staff?

The correct answer is EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency). EASA is responsible for ensuring the safety of civil aviation in Europe and has established regulatory frameworks that include the training and certification of maintenance staff working on aircraft. Their regulations are designed to harmonize aviation safety standards across European member states, ensuring that maintenance personnel are adequately trained to perform their duties safely and effectively.

While the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is the regulatory body for civil aviation in the United States, it governs maintenance training within its jurisdiction rather than at a broader international or regional level. ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) sets global standards and guidelines, but it does not directly regulate training requirements for maintenance staff. Transport Canada oversees aviation safety in Canada and has its own regulations, but like the FAA, it is limited to its national context. EASA's unique role in the European aviation system makes it the key regulator for maintenance training requirements in that region.
