EASA - The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was set up to promote the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation. It is intended to be the centrepiece of a new cost-efficient regulatory system in Europe and a reliable partner for equivalent authorities throughout the world.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is an independent statutory authority established by the Commonwealth Parliament on 6 July 1995. The authority is responsible for the safety regulation of civil air operations in Australia and the operation of Australia registered aircraft overseas. CASA's challenge is to enhance and promote aviation safety through effective safety regulation and by encouraging industry to deliver high standards of safety. Our vision is 'safe skies for all'.
More than eight decades ago, a small aircraft company started in Wichita, Kan., to do what
others said could not be done – to build a monoplane that used a wing without supporting
struts or braces. When the Cessna All Purpose took off August 13, 1927, the aviation world
was forever changed. In fact, Clyde Cessna’s cantilever design has been the standard ever
since.

The CAA directly or indirectly regulates all aspects of aviation in the UK. In some aspects of aviation it is the primary regulator, in other areas, where the responsibility for regulation has passed to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the CAA acts as EASA's local office, implementing the regulations. Representatives from the CAA sit on EASA's advisory bodies, taking part in the Europe-wide regulation process.
