[4] The organization currently represents 25 member schools and puts forward goals to improve the quality of pilot studies and to represent the schools in the official administrations, including the Civil Aviation Authority,[5] and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
[8] The European Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) was originally formed as a direct result of the implementation of the so-called "Cyprus Agreement" in 1990.
The EAAPS was active in the pan-European project to define and standardize the depth and scope of flight training within the JAA.
[10] As a result, the "Joint Aviation Requirement Flight Crew Licensing Code" (JAR-FCL) was established.
[13] Memberships of the IAAPS include that of the EASA Advisory Board,[13] the Safety Standards Consultative Committee,[13] Subject Expert Team (SET),[13] the Theoretical Knowledge Steering Group[13] and the Human Factors Steering Group.
