UK Part 26 Compliance for non-UK TC and STC Holders

Generic exemption ORS4 No. 1619 and Skywise message (SW2025/027) was issued, effective 13 Feb 2025.

Generic exemption ORS4 No. 1619 allows until 26 Feb 2026 for UK aircraft owners, operators and CAMOs of aircraft within scope of UK Reg (EU) 2015/640 (UK Part 26) to update their maintenance programmes with UK Part 26 requirements from all TC/STC holders including those from outside the UK.

The UK CAA therefore expects that all UK Part 26 related documentation is made available to UK aircraft owners, operators and CAMOs for compliance with 26.370 a minimum of 6 months ahead of the exemption date of 26th February 2026.

With respect to the UK CAA regulatory approval of this data, the UK CAA is in the process of investigating various means of acceptance for this data and will provide future updates.
