The continuing airworthiness management

organisation shall provide suitable office

accommodation at appropriate locations

for the personnel specified in M.A.706.


7/42

Office accommodation should be such that

the incumbents, whether they be

continuing airworthiness management,

planning, technical records or quality staff,

can carry out their designated tasks in a

manner that contributes to good standards


8/42

In the smaller M.A. Subpart G organisations,the approving competent authority may agreeto these tasks being conducted from oneoffice subject to being satisfied that there issufficient space and that each task can becarried out without undue disturbance. Office

accommodation should also include anadequate technical library and room fordocument consultation


9/42

The organisation shall appoint an accountable manager, who

has corporate authority for ensuring that all continuingairworthiness management activities can be financed .

For commercial air transport the accountable manager shall

be the person who also has corporate authority for ensuringthat all the operations of the operator can be financed andcarried out to the standard required for the issue of an airoperator's certificate.

A person or group of persons shall be nominated with theresponsibility of ensuring that the organisation is always in

compliance with this Subpart. Such person(s) shall beultimately responsible to the accountable manager.


10/42

For commercial air transport, the accountable

manager shall designate a nominated postholder. This person shall be responsible forthe management and supervision ofcontinuing airworthiness activities.

The nominated post holder referred to shallnot be employed by a Part-145 approved

organisation under contract to the operator,unless specifically agreed by the competentauthority

The qualification of all personnel involved incontinuing airworthiness management shallbe recorded.


12/42

The person or group of persons should represent

the continuing airworthiness managementstructure of the organisation and be responsible for

all continuing airworthiness functions. Dependenton the size of the operation and the organisationalset-up, the continuing airworthiness functions maybe divided under individual managers or combinedin nearly any number of ways. However, if a quality

system is in place it should be independent fromthe other functions.


13/42

The actual number of persons to be

employed and their necessary qualificationsis dependent upon the tasks to be performedand thus dependent on the size andcomplexity of the organisation (generalaviation aircraft, corporate aircraft, number ofaircraft and the aircraft types, complexity of

the aircraft and their age and for commercialair transport, route network, line or charter,ETOPS)


14/42

To enable the approving competent authority

to accept the number of persons and their

qualifications, an organisation should makean analysis of the tasks to be performed, theway in which it intends to divide and/orcombine these tasks, indicate how it intends

to assign responsibilities and establish thenumber of man/hours and the qualificationsneeded to perform the tasks.

requirements


25/42

To ensure that the approved continuingairworthiness management organisationcontinues to meet the requirements of thisSubpart, it shall establish a quality system

and designate a quality manager to monitorcompliance with, and the adequacy of,procedures required to ensure airworthyaircraft. Compliance monitoring shall include

a feedback system to the accountablemanager to ensure corrective action asnecessary.


26/42

The quality system shall monitor M.A.Subpart G activities. It shall at least includethe following functions:

31/42

The records of these activities shall be stored for atleast two years.

Where the approved CAMO is approved in accordancewith another Part, the quality system may be combinedwith that required by the other Part.

In case of commercial air transport the M.A. Subpart Gquality system shall be an integrated part of theoperator's quality system.

In the case of a small M.A. Subpart G organisation thatdoes not have the privileges granted under M.A.711(b),

the quality system can be replaced by performingorganisational reviews on a regular basis


32/42

The independent quality audit reports

referenced in AMC M.A.712 (b) should besent to the relevant department for

rectification action giving target rectificationdates.

The accountable manager should holdregular meetings with staff to check progress

on rectification except that in the largeorganisations such meetings may bedelegated on a day to day basis to the qualitymanager


33/42

A small organisation is an organisationmanaging less than 10 aircraft. Thisnumber should be decreased by 50% in

the case of large aircraft. The combinationof aircraft and aircraft types, the utilisationof the aircraft and the number of approvedlocations of the organisations should also

be considered before replacing the qualitysystem by an organisational review


34/42

The primary objectives of the quality system are to

enable the M.A. Subpart G organisation to ensureairworthy aircraft and to remain in compliance with

the Part-M requirements. An essential element of the quality system is theindependent audit.

The independent audit is an objective process ofroutine sample checks of all aspects of the M.A.

Subpart G organisations ability to carry outcontinuing airworthiness management to therequired standards. It includes some productsampling as this is the end result of the process.


35/42

In order to enable the competent authority to determinecontinued compliance with this Part, the CAMO shall notify itof any proposal to carry out any of the following changes,before such changes take place:

the name of the organisation.

the location of the organisation. additional locations of the organisation. the accountable manager. any of the persons specified in M.A.706(c). the facilities, procedures, work scope and staff that could

affect the approval.

In the case of proposed changes in personnel not known tothe management beforehand, these changes shall be notifiedat the earliest opportunity.


36/42

This paragraph covers scheduled changes to the CAMO

approval. Whilst the requirements relating to air operatorcertificates, including their issue, variation and continuedvalidity, are prescribed in the appropriate regulation, operators

should be aware this paragraph is included in Part M and mayaffect continued acceptance of the continuing airworthinessmanagement.

The primary purpose of this paragraph is to enable thecontinuing airworthiness organisation to remain approved ifagreed by the competent authority during negotiations about

any of the specified changes. Without this paragraph theapproval would automatically be suspended in all cases


37/42

The continuing airworthiness management

organisation shall record all details of work carried out.The records required by M.A.305 and if applicableM.A.306 shall be retained.

If the continuing airworthiness managementorganisation has the privilege of M.A.711(b), it shallretain a copy of each airworthiness review certificateand recommendation issued, together with allsupporting documents.

The continuing airworthiness managementorganisation shall retain a copy of all records listed inparagraph (b) until two years after the aircraft has beenpermanently withdrawn from service.


38/42

The records shall be stored in a manner that ensures

protection from damage, alteration and theft All computer hardware used to ensure backup shall be

stored in a different location from that containing the working

data in an environment that ensures they remain in goodcondition Where continuing airworthiness management of an aircraft is

transferred to another organisation or person, all retainedrecords shall be transferred to the said organisation or person.The time periods prescribed for the retention of records shall

continue to apply to the said organisation or person Where a continuing airworthiness management organisationterminates its operation, all retained records shall be


39/42

The M.A. Subpart G organisation should

ensure that it always receives a complete

CRS from the approved maintenanceorganisation such that the required recordscan be retained. The system to keep thecontinuing airworthiness records should be

described in the organisation continuingairworthiness management exposition CAME


40/42

When an organisation arranges for the

relevant maintenance organisation to

retain copies of the continuingairworthiness records on its behalf, it will

nevertheless continue to be responsible for

the records under M.A.714 relating to thepreservation of records


41/42

An approval shall be issued for an unlimitedduration. It shall remain valid subject to:

the organisation remaining in compliance with thisPart, in accordance with the provisions related to

the handling of findings as specified underM.B.705 and; the competent authority being granted access to

the organisation to determine continuedcompliance with this Part, and;

the approval not being surrendered or revoked. Upon surrender or revocation, the approval

certificate shall be returned to the competentauthority


42/42

M.A.716 Findings appl icable to internal audit (a) A level 1 finding is any significant non-compliance with

Part-M requirements which lowers the safety standard and hazards seriously the flight safety.

(b) A level 2 finding is any non-compliance with the Part-Mrequirements which could lower the safety standard and possibly hazard the flight safety. (c) After receipt of notification of findings according to

M.B.705, the holder of the continuing airworthinessmanagement

organisation approval shall define a corrective action plan anddemonstrate corrective action to the satisfaction of the competent authority within a period agreed with this

authority.
