I want to purchase something for my Cessna from a US web shop. The part has a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the FAA, but I don't find any information about the EASA equivalent.
Is there any database to check this?

$\begingroup$ I've never heard it called "STA", we always call it "STC" $\endgroup$ – selectstriker2 May 26 '19 at 20:04

$\begingroup$ STA, or Supplemental Type Approval, is the term used in Commonwealth countries (UK, Canada, etc.) which is where I'm guessing David is. Pondlife's edit is correct however, as EASA calls them STCs. $\endgroup$ – John K May 27 '19 at 1:21

$\begingroup$ Which STC are you talking about? $\endgroup$ – Juan Jimenez May 27 '19 at 8:33

Unless I am reading the document incorrectly, EASA and the FAA have a reciprocity agreement since 2011 recognizing each other's findings and approvals. That means an FAA STC approval is good in EASA countries (except the ones that are not EU members) and vice-versa.
