Sample Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition (CAME) according to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part-M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and EC No.1056/2008 and ED Decisions No. 2003/19/RM of 28/11/2003 No. 2008/013/R of 12/12/2008 No. 2009/006/R of 24/03/2009 Issue 1 / Revision A DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 Date: 28.10.2009 28.10.2009 Page 1 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn Introduction Diese Sample CAME ist in englischer Sprache verfasst, um die Verbindung der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 2042/2003 DER KOMMISSION vom 20. November 2003 und den nur in englischer Sprache verfügbaren AMC Material herzustellen. Das AMC Material ist in Bezug auf den Umfang wesentlich bedeutender als das Gesetz. Die Erstellung einer CAME in deutscher Sprache ist dann zweckmäßig, wenn der Großteil der Kunden aus österreichischem Hoheitsgebiet bzw. deutschsprachigem Raum zu erwarten sind. Diese CAME ist als Beispiel für so genannte freie CAMOs erstellt worden. Das sind für die Führung der Aufrechterhaltung der Lufttüchtigkeit anerkannte Unternehmen mit dem Recht zur Aufrechterhaltung der Lufttüchtigkeit von Luftfahrzeugen in der nicht gewerbsmäßigen Beförderung, bzw. Ballone im Betrieb der gewerblichen Beförderung (Luftbeförderungsunternehmen). Das heißt also nicht verwendbar in Zusammenhang mit einem AOC. Ledigliches Kopieren der Inhalte dient nicht der Erstellung einer CAME, da die Inhalte sehr breit beschrieben sind.

These changes include, but are not limited to: a) The name of the organisation b) The location of the organisation c) Additional locations of the organisation d) The accountable manager e) Any of the persons specified in part 0.3 f) Continuing airworthiness management procedures that could affect the approval g) Scope of work / Aircraft managed h) Staff that could affect the approval (functions in Part 0.3 in this CAME and airworthiness review staff in Part 4.1 in this CAME) In the case of proposed changes in personnel not known to the management beforehand, these changes shall be notified at the earliest opportunity. Notifications to Austro Control GmbH are issued by the QM. b) Procedure The changes must be recorded in the CAME and handed over to Austro Control GmbH for approval. The last approved issue of the CAME is valid until the amendments have been approved. Once the approval has been granted, the QM has to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to comply with the revised CAME and shall ensure that the changes are noted in any other existing issues of the CAME. All relevant personnel as stated in the distribution list have to confirm that they have received the amendment by signing a company internal amendment notification (CAME Recognition Certificate (5.1 e))). If the AM is changed, the QM has to ensure that the AM signs the corporate commitment (Part 0.1) at the earliest opportunity. 13 This paragraph should explain in which occasion the company should inform the competent authority prior to incorporating proposed changes. The primary purpose of this paragraph is to enable the continuing airworthiness organisation to remain approved if agreed by the competent authority during negotiations about any of the specified changes. Without this paragraph the approval would automatically be suspended in all cases.

Martin Krenn 0.6 Exposition amendment procedure14 a) General It is necessary to comply with any new or amended regulation published by the authority from time to time. New or amended procedures should not be in conflict with the regulation. Regulation changes as well as any relevant changes within the company that affect the approved CAME therefore call for an amendment thereof. b) Procedure The QM is responsible for any amendments and revisions of the CAME including any associated manuals, as well as for the submission to Austro Control GmbH for approval. The following amendment procedure has to be followed: a) The QM checks if the amendment is in compliance with Part-M. b) In case of amendments or changes of contents the related page has to be replaced. c) Changed text passages have to be marked with a vertical line at the side of the page. d) In the footer the revision number and the date has to be changed. e) In the list of effective pages the revision and date of the appropriate page has to be changed. f) After the approval the revision has to be added to the exposition by replacing the old pages. g) The approved revision pages have to be distributed to the recipients according to the distribution list. h) Each revision has to be entered and noted on the revision list by the holder of the CAME, showing the date of revision and the signature. i) The staff has to be advised about the changes. If agreed by the competent authority minor amendments to the exposition (changes which have no impact on the approval held) may be approved through an indirect approval procedure. Minor amendments are: 14 • Change of number of aircraft used and already approved as type on EASA Form 14 • Change of increasing manpower resources, except personnel needing EASA Form 4 This paragraph should explain who is responsible for the amendment of the exposition and submission to the competent authority for approval.

Martin Krenn • Adding of new maintenance contracts to chapter 5 after approval of the contract by ACG • Change of the number of aircraft in the maintenance contract when the type is already contained • Editorial changes • Changes in reference to other manuals or paragraphs This approval procedure shall also be stated in the CAME and the related pages shall be forwarded to ACG for notification. For the numbering of revisions, digits for direct amendments and letters for indirect amendments should be used in ascending order (see example below). E.g.: - 1A: First direct amendment and following first indirect amendment of the CAME - 2C: Second direct and following third indirect amendment Hand written amendments or revisions are not permitted. The CAME will be reviewed at intervals not exceeding 12 months or more frequently when significant changes occur which affect the content of the CAME. DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 35 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn Part 1 Continuing airworthiness management procedures This Part 1 defines the continuing airworthiness management procedures which …(organisation’s name) CAMO ... uses to ensure compliance with the continuing airworthiness aspects of Part-M. Where some aspects of these functions are subcontracted then this will be clearly defined in the text. 1.1 Aircraft continuing airworthiness record system utilisation a) Bordbuch and/or continuing airworthiness record system (1) General The Bordbuch is a main part of the continuing airworthiness record system. The content of an AOC technical log, an aircraft journey log or a Bordbuch are equivalent for the usage in non-commercial air transport. In special cases (technical defects) additional sheets with relevant information can be attached to the Bordbuch. The Bordbuch contains the following information: Section 1 This section details the owner’s/operator’s name and address, the aircraft type and the registration on the first page of the Bordbuch. Section 2 This section contains information about maintenance: Section 3 Section 4 • Details of when the next scheduled maintenance is due, including any out of phase component changes due before the next maintenance check. • The current CRS as a stamp or a sticker (column 14, 15) The following details are provided in this section: • the aircraft type and registration mark • Date and place of take-off and landing (column 2, 6, 8) • The times at which the aircraft took off and landed (column 7, 9) • The running total flying hours (column 11) • Details of any failure, defect or malfunction to the aircraft affecting airworthiness or safe operation (column 15) • The quantity of fuel and oil uplifted (column 12, 13) • The pre-flight inspection signature • The number of landings if relevant for aircraft or aircraft component life This section is normally not used for non-commercial air transport. If it would be used it would contain the acceptable deferred defects pages (hold item list) as column 15 of the Bordbuch. Refer to 1.1 b) M.E.L. application in this CAME. DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 36 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn Section 5 This section details the maintenance support information on the last pages of the Bordbuch. This includes: Name, address, telephone number, and E-mail address of the CAMO (PCA) In the event that unscheduled maintenance and/or defect rectification is required to be carried out away from main base, by another approved maintenance organisation, the prior agreement of the primary maintenance contractor must be sought. The organisation carrying out such maintenance will be required to issue a Certificate of Release to Service in the Bordbuch. The Bordbuch must be retained 36 months after the date of last entry in a locked, fire and flood resistant area. For a sample see 5.1 a). (2) Instructions for use While the PCA is responsible for maintaining and completing the continuing airworthiness record system, the Bordbuch is completed by the owner or operator’s pilots. It shall always be carried on board. … (organisation’s name) CAMO ... must be informed in regular intervals about the current running total flying hours of the aircraft by the owner/operator for planning the next maintenance event. (3) Aircraft technical log approval If an other document than the Austrian Bordbuch is used as aircraft technical log, this document and also any further changes must be approved by Austro Control GmbH. The PCA is responsible for submitting the aircraft technical log and any subsequent amendment thereto to Austro Control GmbH. Refer to part 5.1. b) M.E.L. application This paragraph does not apply to those types of aircraft that do not have a MEL or are not used for commercial air transport and that are not required to have one. That does not mean that an application of a MEL is not allowed for non-commercial air transport. In this case an application has to be sent to Austro Control GmbH department Flugtechnik. DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 37 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn 1.2 Owner/Operator aircraft maintenance programmes development & amendment a) General Maintenance of each aircraft shall be organised in accordance with an approved aircraft maintenance programme. The term “aircraft maintenance programme” includes scheduled maintenance tasks, the associated procedures and standard maintenance practices. The purpose of this aircraft maintenance programme is to provide maintenance planning instructions necessary for the airworthiness of the aircraft. Any aircraft may only be maintained to one approved aircraft maintenance programme at any given time. b) Generic/Baseline Maintenance Programme In order to achieve a scope extension for privately operated aircraft type(s), the PCA has to create a generic/baseline maintenance programme. In this case the Austrian LTH 43A Appendix B shall be used as a guideline. In contrast to the serial numberrelated AMP, generic/baseline maintenance programmes are not subject to approval by ACG. Nevertheless the CAMO has to forward each new generic/baseline programme together with the revised CAME pages to ACG for evaluation. After successful evaluation, ACG will approve the scope extension of the CAMO through the direct approval of the CAME. Generic/baseline maintenance programmes can subsequently be used as a basis for the aircraft maintenance programme by incorporating the additional associated maintenance tasks. Therefore the applicant has to describe the procedures and important points (e.g. no deviation from the maintenance data is permitted, following of repetitive maintenance tasks for modifications and repairs…) for the development of the AMP in the CAME in order to satisfy the competent authority for the proper accomplishment of an AMP. Once these procedures are approved by ACG, the CAMO gets the privilege to approve their self developed AMP (the four-eyes principle has to be used; E.g: Performed by PCA, approved by QM). Nevertheless always the first developed AMP of each type has to be forwarded to ACG for approval! Thereafter all internal approved AMPs have to be forwarded to Austro Control for notification. A current list of generic/baseline maintenance programmes and their associated aircraft series/types is shown in chapter 0.2. For large aircraft paragraph M.A.30215 is applicable only. A detailed list of all owners/operators, their aircraft and the associated AMP’s (organisation’s name) CAMO ... is responsible to manage the continuing airworthiness is shown in Part 5. 15 Appendix I to AMC M.A.302 (a) and M.B.301 (d) should be used as a guideline for developing this paragraph. DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 38 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn c) Content of the AMP 16 The aircraft maintenance programme contains the following basic information: a) The type/model and registration number of the aircraft, engines, propellers,… b) The name and address of the owner, operator and continuing airworthiness management organisation. c) Check periods and/or calendar time limits. d) The tasks and periods at which each part of the aircraft and its equipment should be inspected including the type and degree of inspection required. e) The periods at which components should be checked, cleaned, lubricated, replenished, adjusted and tested. f) Details of ageing aircraft system requirements and/or details of specific structural aircraft aircraft maintenance programmes. g) The periods at which overhauls and/or replacements of components should be made. h) Repetitive maintenance tasks derived from modifications and repairs. d) Development (1) Sources The aircraft maintenance programme shall establish compliance with: a) Instructions issued by Austro Control GmbH (LTH, LTA) b) Instructions for continuing airworthiness issued by the holders of the type certificate, restricted type-certificate, supplemental type-certificate, major repair design approval, ETSO authorisation or any other relevant approval issued under Regulation (EC) No 1702/2003 and its Annex (Part-21) c) Additional or alternative instructions proposed by the owner or the CAMO if approved by Austro Control GmbH, except for intervals of safety related tasks. These instructions could only be escalated through a direct approval and after sufficient reviews. d) For large aircraft a reliability programme must be used and described in chapter 1.10. (2) Responsibilities The AMP is developed by the PCA based upon the original manufacturer’s maintenance instructions, and endorsed by him. Any aircraft maintenance programme is subject to approval by Austro Control GmbH based by application made by the operator. 16 This paragraph should explain what is (are) the format(s) of the company's owner/operator aircraft maintenance programme(s). Appendix I to AMC M.A.302 (a) and M.B.301 (d) should be used as a guideline to develop this paragraph.

Martin Krenn A detailed list of all holders of AMP’s … (organisation’s name) CAMO ... is shown in Part 5. (3) Manual amendments If necessary (revision of the manufacturer’s documentation, result from the analysis of the effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance programme, change of TC-holder maintenance instructions, etc…), a Manual amendment will be prepared by the PCA and/or the QM. If no other necessities arise, the aircraft maintenance programme shall be reviewed annually by the PCA. A list of items to be checked during the review is attached in 5.1 i of this CAME (example for small aircraft). (4) Approval by the authority After preparation the amendment will be presented to Austro Control GmbH by the PCA for approval and if found acceptable, inserted in the relevant AMP by him. The PCA is responsible for submitting each amendment for approval to Austro Control GmbH. Amendments based on changes of approved data issued by the TCH need not to be approved by Austro Control GmbH. ACG has to be informed about such changes.

Martin Krenn m) For any component installed, in addition to EASA Form 1 or equivalent, information on m.1) identification of the component. m.2) type, S/N and registration to the aircraft to which it has been fitted. m.3) total flight/calendar time or cycles of the component, as appropriate. m.4) additional information as listed above, as is applicable to the component. All entries made in the aircraft continuing airworthiness records shall be clear and accurate. When it is necessary to correct an entry, the correction shall be made in a manner that clearly shows the original entry. The maintenance organisation to which maintenance has been contracted shall retain and make available information on any work performed and any scheduled maintenance including: a) Maintenance manuals, SB’s, AD’s, etc. b) Information on the condition of all life–limited parts, be it flights or calendar time. c) All work orders and work reports. The release to service shall be entered as soon as practicable but in no case more than 30 days after the day of maintenance action. Despite the maintenance contractor retaining copies of continuing airworthiness records, the overall responsibility for such documentation remains with …(organisation’s name) CAMO … .

Martin Krenn c) Preservation of records17 Keeping continuing airworthiness records in a form acceptable to Austro Control GmbH means in paper form or on a computer database or a combination of both methods. Records stored in microfilm or optical disc form are also acceptable. All records should remain legible throughout the required retention period. Paper systems should use robust material, which can withstand normal handling and filing. Computer systems should have at least one backup system, which should be updated at least within 24 hours of any entry. Each terminal is required to contain programme safeguards against the ability of unauthorised personnel to alter the database. Continuing airworthiness records should be stored in a safe way with regard to fire, flood, theft and alteration. Computer backup discs, tapes, etc., should be stored in a different location from that containing the current working discs, tapes, etc. and in a safe environment. The original of the aircraft records is stored at …(organisation’s name) CAMO … location at the PCA’s office. Reconstruction of lost or destroyed records can be done by reference to other records which reflect the time in service, research of records maintained by repair facilities and reference to records maintained by individual mechanics etc. When these things have been done and the record is still incomplete, the owner/operator may make a statement in the new record describing the loss and establishing the time in service based on the research and the best estimate of time in service. The reconstructed records should be submitted to Austro Control GmbH for acceptance. Microfilming or optical storage of continuing airworthiness records may be carried out at any time. The records should be as legible as the original record and remain so for the required retention period. d) Transfer of continuing airworthiness records Where continuing airworthiness management of an aircraft is transferred to another organisation or person, all retained records 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. If the continuing airworthiness management of an aircraft is terminated, all retained records will be transferred to the owner or new operator of the aircraft. The PCA is responsible to transfer all continuing airworthiness records to the new owner/operator of the aircraft. The handover of these documents shall be documented and signed by both parties. 17 Please describe your specific preservation-system.

Martin Krenn 1.4 Accomplishment and control of Airworthiness Directives a) Airworthiness directive information The CAMO shall hold and use applicable current maintenance data in the performance of continuing airworthiness management tasks. The PCA is responsible to check airworthiness directives periodically and to include them if appropriate into the maintenance planning according AMP. Therefore he/she takes the airworthiness directives published by the competent authority of the state of the type certificate holder of the aircraft/engine/components into account and those of the EASA and Austro Control GmbH using the following internet addresses: EASA: ACG: http://ad.easa.europa.eu Example: Aircraft: DA 40 LTA’s from ACG Engine: Textron Lycoming IO-360 M1A AD’s from FAA Propeller: MT-Propeller MTV-12-B/180-17 LTA’s from LBA Additionally: AD’s and LTA’s of aircraft/engine/components issued from EASA and Austro Control GmbH as state of register. b) Airworthiness directive decision The PCA analyses the airworthiness directive information and checks if the airworthiness directive is applicable or not. A detailed documentation of all airworthiness directives relevant for the managed aircraft type shall be administrated containing the information why the concerned airworthiness directive is applicable or not. If the airworthiness directive is applicable it is included in the maintenance planning and a work order is created in time to implement the airworthiness directive onto the aircraft. The work order together with the airworthiness directive is transferred to the contracted maintenance organisation for implementation. If an emergency airworthiness directive is applicable, the PCA immediately informs the owner/operator. c) Airworthiness directive control The PCA must ensure that a current status list of all AD’s performed for each managed aircraft is administrated. The status list must contain the following: a) Aircraft make/model/serial number b) Engine make/model/serial number c) APU make/model d) Component make/model e) AD/LTA number f) Subject DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 45 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn g) Date and hours/cycles at compliance h) Method of compliance (SB number, AFM/AOM revision required, not applicable by S/N, etc.) i) One time action j) Recurring action (yes/no) k) Next compliance due date (date/hours/cycles), if recurrent action is requested l) Accomplishment information Airworthiness directives must be performed in the period specified in the AD. Any deviation must be submitted to EASA for approval. Deviation request shall state the reason for request and shall include supporting data. Based on the EASA Internal Working Procedure Continuing Airworthiness of Type Design (CAP)18 determination, an approval may be granted. The method of compliance and when such compliance was achieved will be recorded in the aircraft airworthiness records (Log Books) by the contracted approved maintenance organisation. For AD’s with repetitive inspection content then each and every inspection will be recorded on completion in the aircraft airworthiness records. A CRS will be issued every time compliance with an AD is established. The PCA is responsible for control of performing and for request of deviation. He will establish the applicable work orders. The PCA is responsible for incorporation and documentation of performed AD’s. The PCA is responsible to ensure that all applicable AD’s will be performed in time. 18 See 4.7.5 of Continuing Airworthiness of Type Design (CAP), Annex II - List of Reportable Events: http://www.easa.eu.int/doc/Certification/Working_Procedures/EASA_CAP_Issue_2_CF_06022006.pdf DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 46 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn 1.5 Analysis of the effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance programme The PCA will analyse and monitor the effectiveness of the Aircraft maintenance programme through regular Liaison Meetings with the owner/operator, the contracted approved maintenance organisation and the quality manager. Liaison Meetings These meetings will address the following areas: a) The Aircraft maintenance programme content. b) The effect on the Aircraft maintenance programme of any ADs, modifications or repairs. c) Changes to the operation (e.g. utilisation), which may affect the Aircraft maintenance programme. d) Maintenance findings. e) Other defect reports i.e. air turn-backs, spares reliability, technical delays, technical incidents, repetitive defects and pilot reports. f) Quality monitoring product samples (aircraft surveys), when performed. g) Changes to the manufacturer's maintenance guidance material, Service Bulletins Service Letters etc. and how these affect the Aircraft maintenance programme. h) Other Quality System findings as they affect upon the contracted approved maintenance organisations. Where appropriate and necessary, amendments to the Aircraft maintenance programme will be promulgated by the PCA for submission to Austro Control GmbH as an amendment. Frequency of Meetings Liaison meetings will be held as required for every managed aircraft and the results of any meeting recorded with any actions required allocated to the responsible person.

Martin Krenn 1.6 Non-mandatory modification embodiment policy a) General Non-mandatory modifications will normally take the form of manufacturer's Service Bulletins, or will be derived from them. Any other changes (i.e. those not covered by a manufacturer's Bulletin) will be initiated by the PCA in consultation with the contracted approved maintenance organisation or authorised personnel. b) Service Bulletins Service Bulletins and all other necessary technical publications are directly received on the basis of subscriptions from the official dealers. All manufacturer's Service Bulletins applicable to the aircraft managed by …(organisation’s name) CAMO … will be reviewed in the first instance by the PCA for applicability following LTH 7A. Where compliance with the Service Bulletins' may be seen as beneficial in consideration of the technical, operational and economical effects to …(organisation’s name) CAMO … a proposal will be made to the owner/operator. The decision on embodiment will be made by the PCA as specified in the contract with the operator or owner. If the owner/operator decides to implement a SB then the approved MO will be advised by the PCA. All relevant SB’s will be discussed during the Liaison Meetings. c) Modifications All modifications may be considered to fall in one of two categories: • Major modification • Minor modification An approval must be requested from EASA for any modification initiated before the actual beginning of the modification embodiment. Installation of any modification is only approved upon availability of all approved data. d) Minor Modifications The PCA or the owner/operator will establish data for the minor modification (in form of a work report or engineering order). All minor changes have to be agreed by the PCA before starting approval process. In case of using an appropriately approved Part 21 DO, further approval by EASA is not required. e) Recording of Modifications Incorporation of all modifications, whether introduced through Service Bulletins or approved Minor/Major modifications, is to be recorded in the aircraft airworthiness records.

Martin Krenn 1.7 Major modification / repair standards a) General A major modification / repair is a type design change not listed in the aircraft, engine or component specification that might appreciably affect the weight and balance limits, structural strength, performance, engine operation, systems operation, etc. Any major modifications not originated from the TCH are classified as STC’s. b) Development and approval of major modification and major repairs All major changes (modification or repairs) to type design have to prepared by an appropriately approved Design Organisation. It is in the responsibility of the DO to initiate the classification and approval process. Implementation of changes has to be performed only in accordance with approved data from Part 21 organisations. The PCA has to ensure that approved data’s are available and/or approval has been obtained, as applicable. There are two ways of approval: • Major modification prepared by a DO and approved by EASA (= STC) • Major repairs prepared by a DO and approved by EASA or prepared and approved by the DO of the TCH when authorised to do so As long as approved data (e.g. SRM for repairs) are available no additional design activities are necessary.

Martin Krenn 1.8 Defect reports The PCA should ensure that the TCH/STCH, Register NAA and EASA receives adequate reports of occurrences for that aircraft type, to enable it to issue appropriate service instructions and recommendations to all owners/operators. Liaison with the TCH/STCH is important to establish whether published or proposed service information will resolve the problem or to obtain a solution to a particular problem. The PCA in cooperation with the contracted approved MO should assign responsibility for coordinating action on airworthiness occurrences and for initiating any necessary further investigation and follow-up activity to a suitably qualified person with clearly defined authority and status. All identified defects occurring on the managed aircraft will result in a defect report (5.1 b)) being forwarded to the PCA and will be subject to review and analysis for their effect upon airworthiness and safe operation of the aircraft. In respect of maintenance, reporting a condition that could seriously hazard the aircraft is normally limited to: 1. Serious cracks, permanent deformation, burning or serious corrosion of structure found during scheduled maintenance of the aircraft or component. 2. Failure of any emergency system during scheduled testing. The defect report shall include details such as: • Date • Aircraft Registration • Aircraft Type and S/N • Effected part or component • Description of discrepancy • Name of responsible pilot in command • Signed by the PCA a) Analysis Bordbuch pages are examined at regular intervals by …(organisation’s name) CAMO … to provide information concerning defects occurring, Pilot's reports, maintenance actions and defects of a repetitive nature. Maintenance input records (work-packs) will also be reviewed for significant findings by the …(organisation’s name) CAMO … and the contracted approved maintenance organisation which may have airworthiness or operational implications. The PCA will assess the findings as necessary and has to agree any action required before implementation. Implementation may take the form of an Aircraft maintenance programme amendment or modification action.

Martin Krenn b) Liaison with manufacturers and regulatory authorities The PCA is responsible for contacting the aircraft manufacturers and Austro Control GmbH on all matters concerning the airworthiness of …(organisation’s name) CAMO … managed aircraft. Both Austro Control GmbH and the manufacturer will be advised of all matters concerning airworthiness within 72 hours after arising of such events. c) Deferred defect policy …(organisation’s name) CAMO … will seek to ensure by his technical expertise and practices that the minimum number of open Deferred Defects exist. All open Deferred Defects will be monitored by the PCA in consultation with the approved MO to ensure earliest rectification and subsequent closure. Defects such as cracks and structural defects that are not addressed by approved data may only be deferred after evaluation according to 21.A.445. Any limitations shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of 21.A.443. When a deferred defect is raised the PCA will consult with the certifying staff of an appropriately approved maintenance organisation with a view to arranging the earliest possible rectification action to be taken. A Certificate of Release to Service will be issued in the Bordbuch upon clearance of any Deferred Defects. d) Non Deferrable Defects policy Non deferrable defects must be repaired before further flight. If defects are not covered by approved data the TCH has to be involved. Rectification process has to be performed according the procedures of the approved maintenance organisation. e) Repetitive Defects The Bordbuch is monitored by the PCA to identify these defects as and when they arise. Remedial action will be taken by the approved MO in consultation with the PCA. f) Mandatory Occurrence Reporting All incidents and occurrences that fall within the reporting criteria defined in Part M.A.202 (seriously hazards flight safety) has to be reported to state of register, organisation responsible for type design as soon as practicable but in any case within 72 hours. For occurrence reporting a form could be created or the accident/incident form from ACG published on www.austrocontrol.at19 could be used. Part 5 has to contain such form (5.1 b). g) Occurrence Review Meetings All occurrences, which have maintenance implications, will be analysed by the PCA in consultation with the approved MO. Any maintenance occurrence reports raised by the contracted approved MO on …(organisation’s name) CAMO … managed aircraft 19 www.austrocontrol.at / Luftfahrtagentur / Flugbetrieb und Lizenzierung / Meldeformulare / Accident / Incident Report DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 51 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn will also be advised to the PCA. Both organisations will hold copies of any reports that have been raised that affect maintenance. Liaison meetings will be held between the PCA, the contracted approved MO, the QM and any other involved parties to discuss occurrence reports issues. The frequency of these meetings will be held as necessary if required by maintenance findings and/or operational circumstances.

Matters of design changes are the responsibility of EASA. For details see part 1.7 in this CAME. 1.10 Reliability programmes A reliability programme is only required for large aircraft whose AMP is based upon MSG logic or includes condition monitored components or does not contain overhaul time periods for all significant system components20. Whereas the complexity of the reliability programme should be tailored to the amount of the aircraft managed. The occurrence of significant problems should be recorded and diagnosed from following sources: • Safety information promulgated by the applicable Part-21 organisation • Pilots Reports • Technical Logs • Maintenance Worksheets • Workshop Reports • Reports on Functional Checks • Reports on Special Inspections • Stores Issues/Reports • Air Safety Reports • Reports on Technical Delays and Incidents The reliability data form an important basis for the escalation or deletion of a maintenance task, as well as the de-escalation or addition of a maintenance task. 20 Appendix 1 to AMC M.A.302 should be used as a basis for the development of a reliability programme.

Martin Krenn 1.11 Pre-flight inspections The pre-flight inspections are performed by the operating crew using the aircraft flight manual for guidance. The operating crew has to be trained on the performance of such pre-flight inspection. The pre-flight inspections consist of the following items: a) Pre-flight inspection according to aircraft flight manual (walk-around) b) Inspection of the Bordbuch c) Control of refuelling (quality/quantity) d) Control of consumable fluids e) Control of secure baggage loading f) Control of weight and balance g) Control of snow, ice, dust and sand contamination h) Control that all doors are securely fastened i) Control that all covers and locks are removed Uplift of oil or hydraulic fluid as well as necessary tire inflation shall be noted on the Bordbuch. Any defect appeared during the pre-flight inspections is reported to the PCA using the Bordbuch. The PCA manages the performance of any required maintenance resulting from the checks above at the contracted approved MO. 1.12 Aircraft weighing Aircraft weighing is performed by a suitably approved maintenance organisation. The PCA will review the reports produced by that organisation. The PCA in consultation with the approved MO will maintain a record of each aircraft managed. Re-weighing will be carried out at intervals not exceeding 4 years. Outside the regular required intervals, the aircraft requires to be weighed: a) After major repairs b) After major modifications c) After repainting of an aircraft d) When the weight or CG can not be determined in an arithmetical way e) Whenever the cumulative changes to the dry operating mass exceed +/- 0.5% of the maximum landing mass or the cumulative change in CG position exceeds 0.5% of the mean aerodynamic chord. The weighing periods are integrated in the AMP and will be controlled by the PCA. Weight reports will be handed out to the PCA by the MO after completing weighing and CG calculation. The PCA will insert the weighing records after checking in the AFM Weight and Balance section of the affected aircraft. The original records will be retained in the technical files of the aircraft. Copies will stay in the AFM and at the MO. Only the aircraft manufacturer’s published weighing procedures shall be used.

Martin Krenn 1.13 Check flight procedures a) General A technical flight must be performed after special maintenance and/or repair work on aircraft. Only suitable qualified and by the owner/operator accepted pilots shall carry out the flight tests considering Austrian LTH 42. A technical flight is considered necessary after the following events have taken place: a) Any time after maintenance has been performed where the manufacturer of the aircraft or engine requires a test flight. b) Any time maintenance has been performed which could change the flight characteristics of the aircraft. c) Any time after replacement of a primary flight control if required. d) After major repair or modification on the airframe which alters the flight characteristics. e) After change of engine(s). f) During an Airworthiness Inspection when required by the airworthiness review staff. b) Procedures and standards Airworthiness flight testing is not carried out at specific intervals. The test flight must be authorised by the PCA. All technical flights shall be performed by the minimum flight crew, but inspectors and mechanics, who are directly involved in the preceding work may be on board. All technical flight procedures are established in accordance with the applicable AFM. This procedure should also be carried out following maintenance, modification or rectification actions affecting the aircraft performance, handling etc. or where required by the manufacturer. All flight tests are carried out to the flight test schedule generated appropriate to specific need. See also 4.3 d) in this CAME. Prior to any flight test a CRS, stating the work accomplished has to be issued by the approved MO in the Bordbuch. After successful performance of the maintenance check flight the full release is issued.

Martin Krenn Part 2 Quality system 2.1 Continuing airworthiness quality policy, plan and audits procedure a) Continuing airworthiness quality policy This Part 2 of …(organisation’s name) CAMO … CAME defines the continuing airworthiness quality policy, planning and procedures to meet the requirements of Part-M Subpart G. The Quality System and associated Quality Assurance Programme enables monitoring of compliance with Part-M, the Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition and any other standards specified by Austro Control GmbH/EASA, to ensure safe operations and airworthy aircraft. An organisational review is only permitted if the CAMO fulfils following requirements: • small CAMO A small organisation is an organisation with up to 5 full-time staff, including management personnel • with low complexity In behalf of number and type of aircraft, number of different fleets, privilege to perform airworthiness reviews, etc. • which is not managing the continuing airworthiness of aircraft used in commercial air transport • issuing ARCs for aircraft of 2.730 kg MTOM and below. In this case management tasks are not allowed for subcontracting. A detailed procedure should be listed in this chapter in accordance with Appendix XIII to M.A. 712(f). Quality policy21 The AM has the overall responsibility that the managing of continuing airworthiness will be ensured on the aircraft listed in 5.4. The PCA and the QM have at all times direct access to the AM. …(organisation’s name) CAMO … personnel are encouraged to participate actively in the quality system by reporting all discrepancies and suggestions for improvements to the QM or AM. The AM has also the overall responsibility for the quality system including the frequency, format and structure of the internal management evaluation activities as prescribed below. 21 Please enter your specific quality policy. DC_LFA_TEO_001_v2_0 28.10.2009 Page 56 of 91 Sample CAME according to EC No. 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M, Subpart G of 20 November 2003 and ED Decision No. 2003/19/RM of 28 November 2003 Author: Ing. Martin Krenn b) Quality plan22 The quality programme (refer to 5.1 c) will be developed by the quality manager in liaison with the PCA. Audits are to be carried out at least once a year in order to review all aspects of continuing airworthiness activities within a period of 12 months. Additional audits are to be carried out: • whenever corrective action has to be performed before the next scheduled audit. • when maintenance procedures are newly established or revised. • upon exchange of the nominated post holders referred to in part 0.3. • before subcontracting of airworthiness management activities take place. c) Quality audit procedure An audit consists of identifying, in an objective fashion, non-conforming practices against the applicable regulation (EASA Part-M) and the procedures set out in this CAME. This independent audit is an objective process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the CAMO including some product audits as the end result of the process. Every audit is subjected to a deviation report. Before distribution, the preliminary conclusions are presented to the person audited. The auditor and the PCA determine in common the corrective actions to be taken, as well as the time allowed for implementation. The corrective action should be determined taking into account the root cause of the finding or concern, so that the corrective action may be designed in order the non-conformity may not reoccur. The audits shall be documented in audit reports and shall then be recorded accordingly in the audit plan. Product audit The QM has to carry out aircraft and product quality audits at random intervals and whenever additionally required to new or unusual circumstances. Sample checks will be performed by the QM, he witnesses any relevant maintenance task and visually inspects the product and the associated documentation. During a sample check performed by the QM, repeat disassembly or testing should not be performed by maintenance staff, unless findings are identified by the QM which requiring such action. An aircraft mainly maintained outside of the quality system of a Part-145 or Part M-F organisation (by Part-66 certified staff or by pilot owner, should be subject to product audits in any case. Delegation of product audits Under special circumstances, the quality control manager can delegate product audits to a qualified certifying staff member of a contracted approved MO, provided these persons have adequate system knowledge, audit training and audit 22 Where the organisation has more than one location approved the quality system should describe how these are integrated into the system and include a plan to audit each location every year.

Martin Krenn experience. This staff of the approved MO should not be involved in the release of this specific aircraft. d) Quality audit remedial action procedure When objections or defects are determined during an audit, the QM and the PCA are to decide upon corrective actions and/or procedure improvements. The decided corrective actions and/or procedure improvements are then to be conveyed to the AM. The QM monitors the remedial actions and their compliance. The remedial actions are taken by the concerned person. The QM agrees time for correction with the PCA. He shall check if every corrective action has been applied in due course and shall record the corrective actions in his audit reports in the appropriate box. The audit report shall show by whom the corrective action was carried out and when the QM made the check. If no corrective or insufficient action has been taken, the QM shall inform the AM accordingly. Any findings are classified into the following categories: Level 1 finding is any significant non-compliance with Part-M requirements which lowers the safety standard and hazards seriously the flight safety. Level 2 finding is any non-compliance with the Part-M requirements which could lower the safety standard and possibly hazard the flight safety or is a non-compliance to the CAME procedures. Informational The above mentioned levels of findings require rectifications by the responsible management personnel within the following time frame: Level 1 finding immediately Level 2 finding up to 3 months (depending on nature of finding) Notification to Austro Control GmbH is required in regards of changes to the organisation’s activities/approval/location/personnel and whenever an audit finding shows existence of hazard for an aircraft managed (Level 1). After receipt of notification of findings of an audit of Austro Control GmbH according to M.B.705, …(organisation’s name) CAMO … shall define a corrective action plan and demonstrate corrective action to the satisfaction of ACG within a period agreed with ACG. Action will be taken by ACG to suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure to comply within the timescale granted by ACG. Quality records shall be preserved for a period of at least 2 years.

Martin Krenn 2.6 Quality audit personnel The quality management is exclusively subordinate to the AM. The QM works independently, should not be one of the nominated post holders and must not be directly involved in the activity he/she has been asked to audit. The QM is responsible for ensuring that the Quality assurance program is properly established, implemented and maintained. The QM must have: • direct access to the AM; • not be one of the nominated post holders; and • have access to all parts of …(organisation’s name) CAMO … The QM has the full authority and support from …(organisation’s name) CAMO … to perform her/his duty within the system. The QM may delegate audits to additional auditors and/or an audit team if he/she deems it necessary. He also establishes the audit and inspection schedule to be completed during a specific calendar period according the present situation. Qualification/Training of QM The nominated QM shall be trained in a manner to fulfil the required knowledge as required to perform quality system tasks. The QM must be trained as a minimum: a) Part-M b) Quality management c) Audit technique d) Technical expertise on the subject audited Auditors Auditors must be trained as the same level as the QM.

It includes details of these arrangements, together with the division of responsibility for these arrangements, between …(organisation’s name) CAMO … and the approved MO together with copies of the Maintenance Contracts in force for Base, Line and Engine Off-Wing support, as appropriate. 3.1 Maintenance contractor selection procedure This activity should be carried out in agreement with the aircraft owner. Before any contract is signed with a maintenance organisation the PCA will verify that: a) The maintenance organisation is appropriately approved and has the necessary qualified manpower, facilities, tooling, technical documentation etc. This verification to take into account any engine, propeller, or component maintenance capability that may be required (though this may be available through sub-contract to other suitably approved MOs.) b) It will be confirmed that the MO has adequate capacity to undertake the proposed maintenance support. c) The draft Maintenance Contract will be reviewed and agreed by both parties with a view to ensuring that each has the ability to discharge their responsibilities with respect to Part-M. 3.2 Quality audit of aircraft The purpose of a quality audit of aircraft is to ensure that all required continuing airworthiness tasks are performed on the aircraft. In no way may a quality audit of an aircraft be confused with a periodic airworthiness review carried out by an appropriately approved organisation or Austro Control GmbH. Quality audit of aircraft are tools to have a feedback on the quality level of the organisation to the management staff. Findings of quality audit of aircraft do not affect the airworthiness review certificate but are submitted to the PCA for closure. Quality audit of aircraft are performed by the QM or by quality audit personnel according to part 2.6 of this exposition.

The ARC has to be numbered with ascending and unique digits. All entries made shall be clear and accurate. When it is necessary to correct an entry, the correction shall be made in a manner that clearly shows the original entry. In this case the correction should be signed and dated by the surveyor. The ARC is valid for one year. If findings have come up during the review, the review staff will classify the finding levels and hand over the airworthiness review finding list together with the ARC to the PCA or to the QM. The classification of findinglevels should be the same as those listed in chapter 2.1 of this CAME. PCA is responsible to perform corrective actions within the given due date and to store the ARC together with the aircraft records. The complete review may be performed up to 90 days before the new expiration date of the ARC without loss of continuity of the airworthiness review pattern in order to have a flexible time period for the physical survey. In this case the reviewed aircraft is still considered as being within controlled environment under ...(organisation’s name) CAMO. Should the outcome of the airworthiness review be inconclusive, the competent authority shall be informed. An ARC will be extended twice for a period of one year each time if the aircraft is within a controlled environment30 and it is verified that: 1. the ARC is valid 2. the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft or any component fitted to the aircraft does meet the requirements of Part-M, and; 3. the aircraft does remain in conformity with the type design approved by the Agency; and 4. the aircraft has been operated within the limitations of the approved flight manual or the airworthiness certificate, and; 5. the aircraft has not been involved in an accident or incident that affects the airworthiness of the aircraft, without subsequent appropriate action to restore airworthiness; and 6. a modification or repair has been approved in accordance with Part 21. The above mentioned requirements shall be documented. Therefore the compliance is stated on the Extension Form and on the EASA Form 15b.
