DG CAA Compliance for Bulgarian Flight Schools
EASA Part-FCL & Part-ORA Ready
Aviatize is built for the documentation discipline DG CAA expects from Bulgarian ATOs. Sofia Flight Training (BG/ATO-002, founded 1971), Bulgarian Aviation Academy (BG/ATO-0003 at Lesnovo), and PCT-Sofia all operate under the EASA Part-FCL / Part-ORA framework administered through DG CAA.
In short
Is Aviatize DG CAA Bulgaria compliant?
DG CAA — Directorate General Civil Aviation Administration, an agency of Bulgaria's Ministry of Transport and Communications — is Bulgaria's EASA Part-FCL and Part-ORA competent authority. The Bulgarian Civil Aviation Act, administered by DG CAA, implements EASA harmonised rules across pilot licensing, ATO supervision, and continuing airworthiness. Bulgaria joined the EU on 1 January 2007 and adopted the euro on 1 January 2026.
