Dear Angelika,
judging from the many posts you have written in this forum you seem to know a lot about EASA, DOA and co. I bet there are many people out there very thankful.

By the way I studied Aerospace Engineering (Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik) at the University of Stuttgart.
Can you, or anybody else for that matter who is familiar with the DOA application process, tell me if I can somewhere find a guideline in which order to do things when applying for a small DOA company for the application process to be as short as possible?
For example:
- Do I finish the DOH before I apply or do I first apply and then start writing the handbook?
- Do I submit the staff description together with the application or do I submit it later?
- How long does it take EASA to handle the DOA application?
- How long does it take somebody to write the DOH full time?
The short version: In which order is it best to do things when applying for DOA to make the whole process as short as possible?
Best regards from Iceland,
