Is membership in EASA mandatory for EU states?

• A. No
• B. It is optional for some states
• C. Yes
• D. Only for states with a certain size

Answer: (C)

EASA acts as the central aviation safety regulator for the European Union, creating a single set of rules that all EU member states must follow and enforcing them across the union. Because being in the EU comes with agreeing to these shared standards and delegating regulatory authority to EASA, membership isn’t optional or dependent on size. All EU states participate by design, to ensure consistent safety compliance and certification throughout the bloc. That’s why the statement asserting that membership is mandatory for EU states is the right one. Other options imply exceptions or alternatives that don’t align with how the EU standardizes aviation safety.
