Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg receives DOA certification

Liebherr-Aerospace’s Lindenberg-based center of excellence of flight control, actuation and landing gear systems has been officially recognized by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as a Design Organization Approval (DOA) certified company for landing gear systems (hydro-mechanical systems and structures) to approve minor changes to type-certificates and minor repairs. This certification demonstrates the compliance of Liebherr-Aerospace’s processes with the requirements of European regulation Part 21, Section A, Subpart J which establishes the certification rules for companies that design and manufacture aircraft systems and aircraft parts. The DOA is a mandatory certification for every commercial aircraft designer and is also available to system manufacturers such as Liebherr-Aerospace. The Management of Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH stated: “This certification will enable us to validate our own repair solutions for landing gear systems. It also allows us to be entrusted with a higher level of delegation from air framer customers in the management of product development.”
