GENERAL ORGANISATION 0.1 Corporate commitment by the accountable manager3 This exposition defines the organisation and procedures upon which the M.A. Subpart G approval of (organisation’s name) CAMO under Part-M is based. These procedures are approved by the undersigned and must be complied with, as applicable; in order to ensure that all the continuing airworthiness activities including maintenance of all aircraft under contract in accordance with M.A.201 (e) with (organisation’s name) CAMO are carried out on time to an approved standard. It is accepted that these procedures do not override the necessity of complying with any new or amended regulation published by the EASA from time to time where these new or amended regulations are in conflict with these procedures. CAA will approve this organisation whilst it is satisfied that the procedures are being followed. It is understood that CAA reserves the right to suspend, vary or revoke the M.A. Subpart G continuing airworthiness management approval of the organisation, as applicable, if CAA has evidence that the procedures are not followed and the standards not upheld. Suspended or revoked approval could invalidate the CoA. Signed ....................................................................... Dated ..................................................

The other members of the consortium should be specified, as well as the scope of organisation of the consortium [e.g. specifying this is that consortium maintenance may be controlled through specific contracts and through consortium's policy and/or procedures manuals that might unintentionally override the maintenance contracts. In addition, in respect of international consortiums, the respective competent authorities should be consulted and their agreement to the arrangement clearly stated. This paragraph should then make reference to any consortium's continuing airworthiness related manual or procedure and to any competent authority agreement that would apply. (3) Contracts with owners This Section should outline how the organisation will comply with its obligation detailed in Part M Appendix I ,Continuing Airworthiness Arrangement and how it will ensure that each owner will provide all of the necessary information (e.g. hours/cycles) in order to meet the requirements of M.A.708. (4) Subcontractor This section should reflect which Part M subpart G activities are subcontracted if applicable. A reference to the applicable subcontracts shall be given. An outline of how the active control will be performed shall be given. d) Aircraft managed …(organisation’s name) CAMO ... holds the privileges according Part-M, Subpart G to manage the continuing airworthiness of noncommercial air transport aircraft as listed on the approval certificate. A detailed list of owners/operators and their aircraft …(organisation’s name) CAMO ... is responsible to manage the continuing airworthiness is shown in Part 5.4. e) Type of business The organisation is orientated to manage aircraft from general aviation, pilot’s training schools, commercial hire and commercial operations without AOC. Page 18 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 0.3 Management personnel The management personnel will be formally accepted by CAA if the personnel meets the requirements of M.A. 706. Therefore the AM has to forward the filled in Form 4 with the relevant data of the proposed management personnel to CAA. The Form 4 is not necessary for the nomination of the PCA Deputy. It is acceptable for CAA to mention the deputy in chapters 0.3 and 0.4 of this CAME. a) Accountable Manager6 The Accountable Manager has the overall responsibility to meet the requirements of Part-M. He is responsible to ensure that all continuing airworthiness activities can be financed and are carried out to the required standards. In particular, he is responsible for ensuring that adequate contractual arrangements exist. This includes, amongst others, provision of: facilities, material and tools, sufficient competent and qualified personnel in relation to the work to be undertaken. All of this with a view to ensure that all due continuing airworthiness activities including maintenance is performed on time and in accordance with the applicable requirements, regulations and approved standards and that the aircraft has a valid Certificate of Airworthiness for all flights undertaken. The Accountable Manager has the financial responsibility for all of the continuing airworthiness activities. b) Nominated post holder for continuing airworthiness 7 PCA (person responsible for continuing airworthiness) (1) General The PCA is responsible for determining what maintenance is required, when it has to be performed and by whom and to what standard, in order to ensure the continued airworthiness of the aircraft being operated. He shall be able to show relevant knowledge, background and appropriate experience related to aircraft continuing airworthiness. (2) Responsibilities He/she will, ensure that all maintenance is carried out on time and to an approved standard. For every aircraft managed in the continuing airworthiness organisation the PCA has the following responsibilities: a) Establishment of continuing airworthiness management contract in cooperation with the owner/operator. b) Establishment and development of continuing airworthiness policy, including the approval of the aircraft maintenance programme’s required by Part M.A.302. c) Presenting on behalf of the owner/operator aircraft maintenance programmes and its amendments to CAA for approval and provide a copy of the programmes to the owner. d) Manage the approval of modification and repairs8 e) Analysis of the effectiveness of the AMP as required by Part M.A.708(b) & Appendix 1 to AMC M.A.302. f) Ensuring that the Quality System required by Part M.A.712 is effective in its application and any follow up actions required to address findings. g) Ensuring that owner’s/operator’s technical records are kept as required by Part M.A.305 and in accordance to part 1.3 of this CAME. h) Ensuring the validity of CoA. i) Presenting the continuing airworthiness records to CAA on request. 6 This paragraph should address the duties and responsibilities of the accountable manager as far ass Part M.A. subpart G is concerned and demonstrate that he has corporate authority for ensuring that all continuing airworthiness actiivities can be financed and carried out to the required standard. 7 Dependent on the size and complexity of the organisation the duties and responsibilities asssociated with the post holder for continuing airworthiness can be assumed by the AM if competent to do so or a designated person, iin support of the AM. 8 When managing the approval of modifications or repairs the organisation should ensure that Crittical Design Configuration Control Limitations are taken into account.

This includes both operational occurrences and occurrences related to maintenance findings, which fall outside the Mandatory scheme. r) Ensuring that all defects discovered during scheduled maintenance or reported are corrected by an appropriately approved maintenance organisation. s) Ensuring that the aircraft is taken to: (i) an approved maintenance organisation whenever necessary, or (ii) that non-complex maintenance -when not performed by a Part-145 or Part-M subpart F organisation- is carried out by authorised persons (Part-66 certified staff, Pilot/Owner) t) To coordinate scheduled maintenance, the application or airworthiness directives, the replacement of service life limited parts and component inspection to ensure the work is carried out properly. u) Ensuring that the mass and balance statement reflects the current status of the aircraft. v) Initiate the airworthiness review or perform the airworthiness review to issue an ARC or send the recommendation to the responsible register NAA. c) Continuing airworthiness coordination9 It is a task for PCA to establish the communication from the owner/operator to the CAMO as specified in the contract. d) PCA Deputy In case of lengthy absence of the PCA, his deputy has to take over his authority. He has, however, to confer with the PCA before making any essential decisions and keep him informed about any major irregularities in technical cases. A deputy PCA has to be nominated. Deputising situations are lengthy absence of the PCA due to vacations, illness or training. His/her qualification to fulfil this position for a period of time will be verified by the PCA and/or the AM. CAA, as the competent authority, shall be informed accordingly for absence longer then the above period and will accept his position if adequate qualification can be shown. e) Quality Manager The Quality Manager is responsible for the following functions: 9 This paragraph should list the job functions that constitute the "group of persons" as required by M.A.706(c) in enough detail so as to show that all the continuing airworthiness responsibilities as described in Part M are covered bby the persons that constitute that group. In the case of small organisations, where the "Nominated Post holder for continuing airwworthiness constitutes himself the "group of persons", this paragraph may be merged with the previous one.

It is not necessary to give the detailed number of employees oof the whole company but only the number of those involved in continuing airworthiness. Page 24 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition (2) Training policy15 Training will be provided by …(organisation’s name) CAMO ... to ensure that each member of staff is adequately trained to carry out the functions of, and satisfy the responsibilities associated with, the Part-M Subpart G continuing airworthiness management functions. Training will be carried out at regular intervals, taking into account of changes in: a) CAME b) Aircraft maintenance programme c) New aircraft type and novel type of aircraft d) Organisation e) New equipment f) Company procedures g) Fuel tank safety The staff member shall be made aware of how these changes affect their duties and responsibilities and the company procedures. The PCA will review training needs at intervals not exceeding two years. Continuation Training consists of procedures, regulation and technical training. Aircraft type rating training for staff shall be carried out at a training organisation, which is acceptable to CAA. Whenever is possible, the PCA shall ensure that the specific type training is carried out at the aircraft manufacturer’s recommended training facility. If practicable and possible, the training may also be carried out by the PCA, as applicable for minor tasks. It’s the responsibility of the PCA that each training is documented and that the training recordings are stored in the personal files required for each staff for at least two years after the relevant staff has left. (3) Control of Competence For all large aircraft the organisation shall establish and control the competence of personnel involved in the continuing airworthiness management, airworthiness review and/or quality audits. 15 This paragraph should show that the training and qualification standards for the personnel quoted above are consistent with the size and complexity of the organisation. It should also explain how the need for recurrent training iis assessed and how the training recording and follow-up is performed.

Following aspects shall be proved and documented prior to nomination and employment of new personnel: • adequate qualification for the planned position (see matrix for Basic qualification requirements acc. AMC M.A.706, 4.), • received training for the CAMO aspects (in reference to the planned position). (3b.2) Competence assessment of new management personnel New management personnel nominated by “name of CAMO” have to be approved/accepted by the competent authority (Form 4) before responsibilities can be adopted. The competent authority will approve/accept the nominated persons when the requirements according AMC M.A.706, 4. are complied with. (3b.3) Competence assessment of new personnel that is involved in continuing airworthiness management, airworthiness review and/or quality audits For new personnel that is involved in continuing airworthiness management, airworthiness review and/or quality audits the PCA assess training needs in consideration of the matrix for basic qualification requirements acc. AMC M.A.706, 4.) and the specific job-requirements defined in CAME. The assessment and the resulting training needs have to be documented on the competence checklist. The PCA informs the AM about training needs by presentation of the assessment result and the established training schedule. 20 Training-intervals depend on frequency of changes and assessment results Page 27 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition Each member of staff has to be adequately trained to carry out the functions of, and satisfy the responsibilities associated with the Part-M Subpart G continuing airworthiness management functions. (3b.4) Competence assessment of employed personnel that is involved in continuing airworthiness management, airworthiness review and/or quality audits For employed personnel the PCA, as applicable together with the QM 21 assesses training needs in a 2-years interval in consideration of • the matrix for Continuation training requirements and, • the specific job-requirements defined in CAME … and, • Audit findings that show lack of knowledge and, • Mistakes which happened during continuing airworthiness management, airworthiness review and/or quality audits. The assessment shall be conducted using at least 2 of the following methods: • Review of records for Training, education and experience • Feedback from Customers, colleagues, Trainers, peers, mentors, etc. • Personal Interviews • Observations during audits, OJT performance, etc. • Tests • Review of produced documentation The assessment and the resulting training needs have to be documented on the competence checklist. The PCA informs the AM about training needs by presentation of the assessment result and the established training schedule. (4) Establishment of training schedule A training schedule shall be established by the PCA for continuation training after each assessment and shall include an analysis if additional training is required and how such trainings shall be accomplished. A competence checklist is used for documentation of the analysis. For the training schedule a separate form containing all planned trainings is used. Each training has to be released by the AM with his personal signature on the training schedule. The AM is responsible that each member of staff is adequately trained to carry out the functions of, and satisfy the responsibilities associated with the Part-M Subpart G continuing airworthiness management functions and that required trainings will be performed within the timeframe as given by the PCA in the training schedule. The training-dates and accomplishment of the planned trainings have to be tracked and monitored by the QM. Each training has to be documented. The training documents have to be stored in the personnel files of the respective staff. 21 Because of the fact that it makes no sense that the PCA assesses himself an assessment is not reequired. Instead of an assessment a summary of changes taken into account or are planned have to be presented to the AM during Maanagement Reviews. The AM together with the PCA, and as applicable together with the QM have to decide if training for the PCA is required. Training needs have to be documented in the management review report. Page 28 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 0.5 Notification procedure to the competent authority regarding changes to the organisation's activities/approval/location/personnel22 a) General When important changes are made within the company, CAA has to be informed prior to incorporating proposed changes via Form 2 so that approval can be granted. 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 CAA are issued by the QM. b) Procedure The changes must be recorded in the CAME and handed over to CAA 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. If this notification procedure is not applied the Part-M Subpart G approval would automatically be suspended in all cases. Upon surrender or revocation, the approval certificate shall be returned to CAA. 0.6 Exposition amendment procedure23 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. 22 This paragraph should explain in which occasion the company should inform the competent authorrity 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 paragraphh the approval would automatically be suspended in all cases. 23 This paragraph should explain who is responsible for the amendment of the exposition and submisssion to the competent authority for approval. Page 29 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition b) Procedure The Technical Manager is responsible for the amendments of the exposition. He has to monitor all applicable regulations and shall incorporate all changes which affect the CAMO as well as all changes of internal procedures or organisation into the exposition without request by other parties. The Company has divided its amendment procedures in 2 different possibilities: • Direct approved Amendments • Indirect approved Amendments The Revision numbering system is organized as follows: CAME Name, Issue number, Revision number direct, indirect Issue number: Revision number: Direct Amendment: Indirect Amendment: numeric numbering; increased for major changes in the CAME numeric numbering; increased at every direct amendment; set to 0 at every increase of issue number alpha-numeric numbering; increased at every indirect amendment; set to “A” at every increase of direct amendment number The following amendment procedure has to be followed: (1) Direct approved Amendments Direct amendments shall be approved by CAA. All amendments not covered by Chapter 0.6 b) (2) shall be considered as direct amendments. The Technical Manager shall provide the amendment to the Quality Manager in order to monitor conformity with requirements and consistency to the procedures. All direct amendments of the CAME shall be presented by the Quality Manager to CAA for approval after internal acceptance. (2) Indirect approved Amendments For the following changes in the exposition, an indirect amendment approval can be applied: • Change of number of aircraft already approved as type on Form 14 is increased • Change of increasing manpower resources, except personnel needing Form 4. • Including of new maintenance contracts into chapter 5 after approval of the contract by CAA • Change of number of aircraft in the maintenance contract when type is already contained. • Editorial changes • Changes in references to other AOC Holders Manuals or paragraphs The indirect amendment shall be performed by the Technical Manager and sent to the Quality Manager in order to monitor conformity with the requirements and consistency with the procedures. The CAME shall contain a list with indirect approval amendments showing the reasons and concerned paragraphs of the CAME. The Quality Manager shall accept the amendment in written. After that acceptance the Technical Manager shall distribute the CAME in accordance with the distribution list as soon as possible but within 10 working days. The ultimate responsibility of the exposition remains with the Technical Manager. CAA will acknowledge the receipt in writing or has to disagree the amendment explaining in that case the reasons. In the later the persons releasing the change has to recall the indirect approved CAME- amendment immediately. Page 30 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 sub-contracted then this will be clearly defined in the text. 1.1 Aircraft continuing airworthiness record system utilisation a) TLB and/or continuing airworthiness record system (1) General The TLB is a main part of the continuing airworthiness record system. The content of an AOC technical log, an aircraft journey log or a TLB 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 TLB. The TLB 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 TLB. Section 2 This section contains information about maintenance: • 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) Section 3 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 Section 4 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 TLB. Refer to 1.1 b) M.E.L. application in this CAME. Section 5 This section details the maintenance support information on the last pages of the TLB. This includes: Name, address, telephone number, and E-mail address of the CAMO (PCA) Page 31 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 TLB. The TLB 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 TLB 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 TLB is used as aircraft technical log, this document and also any further changes must be approved by CAA. The PCA is responsible for submitting the aircraft technical log and any subsequent amendment thereto to CAA. 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 CAA Airworthines department. 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. Where an owner or operator wishes to change from one approved programme to other, a transfer check or inspection may need to be performed in order to implement the change. 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.. Nevertheless the CAMO has to forward each new generic/baseline programme together with the revised CAME pages to CAA for evaluation. After successful evaluation, CAA 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 CAA, 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 CAA for approval! Thereafter all internal approved AMPs have to be forwarded to CAA 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.30224 is applicable only. 24 Appendix I to AMC M.A.302 (a) and M.B.301 (d) should be used as a guideline for developing this pparagraph. Page 32 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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. c) Content of the AMP25 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 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. i) Additional or alternative instructions proposed by the owner or the continuing airworthiness management organisation once they are approved. d) Development (1) Sources The aircraft maintenance programme shall establish compliance with: a) Instructions issued by CAA 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 748/2012 and its Annex (Part-21). c) Additional or alternative instructions proposed by the owner or the CAMO if approved by CAA, 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 CAA based by application made by the operator. A detailed list of all holders of AMP’s … (organisation’s name) CAMO ... is shown in Part 5. (3) Manual amendments The maintenance programme details should be reviewed at least annually. As a minimum revisions of documents affecting the programme basis need to be considered by the owner or operator for inclusion in the maintenance programme during the annual review. Applicable mandatory requirements for compliance with Part-21 should be incorporated into the owner or operator’s maintenance programme as soon as possible. 25 This paragraph should explain what is (are) the format(s) of the company's owner/operator airrcraft 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 paraagraph. Page 33 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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) Direct revision Each of the following revision reasons have to be considered as a revision to the maintenance program which requires direct approval by the CAA: • The first issue of the AMP, as part of the introduction of a new aircraft type into the CAMO. • Escalation of a task card item beyond the requirements of Aviation Authority requirements including NAA requirements. • Changes to the maintenance program that requires exemption and concessions from the competent authority. • Escalation of OEM Requirement task card interval. • Procedure variations/amendments (content) • Changes done to the AMP due the change of Operational privileges (ETOPS, CAT III, Off-shore OPS, etc) • Every revision, which is not classified as an indirect revision (5) Indirect revision Each of the following has to be considered as a revision to the maintenance program which can be approved by the CAMO according to the approved Procedure: • Task card item interval change in accordance with OEM Requirement Revision • Incorporation/deletion of task card item, based on manufacturer revision or recommendation • Revision of task card item due to maintenance procedure changes in accordance with approved data • Reduction of task card item interval (except structural inspection tasks) • Changes of the task card item applicability based on modification status of the aircraft, engine and components. • Incorporation/change/deletion of Operator created Task Cards (except Authority requirements) • Removal of aircraft Registrations • Editorial changes to the maintenance program • Editorial changes to task cards (e.g. correction of wording, required reference, tools, materials, notes, etc) (5.1) Addition of an Aircraft of the same type to an already approved AMP This privilege will only be granted to CAMO´s which have shown to amend their AMP´s at a quality level acceptable to the CAA. A detailed list describing the applicability and scope (which privilege for which type) shall be included here. Note: When this privilege is applicable, the CAME shall state here, that when a reliability program is applicable the addition of the 6th aircraft will lead to a change in the content of the reliability program. Then the applicable full reliability program shall be described in the AMP. Page 34 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 5.2 Manufacturer document changes incorporation An indirect revision of the AMP which is triggered by the change of OEM Requirement documents shall be performed not later than 60 days after the publishing of the change by the OEM through the applicable distribution method (paper, CD, Electronically,..) (6) Publication of AMP document Direct and indirect revisions are made available on-line and as paper version in the CAMO office. The distribution has to be done according the distribution list in the AMP. Indirectly approved revisions shall be distributed complete or as a set of revised pages only. The technical procedure for the revision of the AMP (Highlights, Marking, incorporating, ..) is contained in the respective AMP. (7) Maintenance program approval process The Maintenance Program Document of all aircraft types is intended to be an up-to-date document. The PCA is responsible for the amendments of the AMP. He has to monitor all applicable documents and shall incorporate all changes which affect the AMP as well as all changes of internal procedures into the AMP without request by other parties. The Company has divided its amendment procedure in 2 different categories: • Direct approved Amendments, • Indirect approved Amendments. The Revision numbering system is organized as follows: AMP name (AMP-Company code-Aircraft type), Issue number, Revision number direct, indirect Example: AMP-CompanyXXX, Issue 1, Rev. 15 C Issue number: • numeric numbering; increased for significant updates in the AMP Revision number: • Direct Amendment: numeric numbering; increased at every direct amendment; set to 0 at every increase of issue number • Indirect Amendment: alpha-numeric numbering; increased at every indirect amendment (A, B, C, ..); set to blank at every increase of direct amendment number The AMP shall contain a list with indirect approval amendments showing the reasons and concerned parts of the AMP. The PCA or appropriate qualified engineering staff shall provide the direct amendment to the Quality Manager or independent engineering staff in order to monitor conformity with requirements and consistency to the procedures. All direct amendments of the CAME shall be presented by the PCA to CAA for approval after internal acceptance. The indirect amendment shall be prepared by the PCA or appropriate qualified engineering staff and sent to an independent engineering staff or, if no independent Engineer is available, the Quality Manager in order to check conformity with the requirements. The Quality Manager shall accept the amendment in written and confirm consistency with the procedures. The PCA or his/her deputy must release every indirect Revision to the AMP which is considered as "Approved by the CAMO under a procedure agreed with the competent authority”. After that approval the PCA shall distribute the CAME in accordance with the distribution list as soon as possible. The revisions have to be sent to the CAA within 10 days after the approval for acceptance. The revision shall be sent to the following e-mail address: airhiva@caa.me CAA will, if applicable disagree to the Revision, explaining in that case the reasons. If no disagreement from CAA is received acceptance can to be assumed. If the CAA disagrees, the persons releasing the change have to recall the indirect approved Page 35 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition AMP Revision immediately. The Revision will then be issued as a direct revision and sent to the competent authority together with an application for the approval. All approved maintenance programmes of the AOC Holder shall be listed in the CAME 5.7. Records have to be kept to be able to demonstrate the reason and contents of changes and that the revision of the maintenance program is justified by approved relevant data in accordance with the relevant procedures. (8) Approval by the authority After preparation the amendment will be presented to CAA 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 CAA. Amendments based on changes of approved data issued by the TCH need not to be approved by CAA. CAA has to be informed about such changes. 1.3 Time and continuing airworthiness records, responsibilities, retention, access a) Hours and cycles recording Flight hours and cycles are recorded in the TLB and thus supplied to the PCA. …(organisation’s name) CAMO ... must be informed in regular intervals, depending on the utilisation, about the current running total flying hours and cycles of the aircraft by the owner/operator for planning the next maintenance event. This has also to be specified in the contract. b) Records Continuing airworthiness records comprise: a) Applicable maintenance data for managed aircraft. 1) Any applicable requirement, procedure, standard or information issued by CAA, acquired directly from CAA. 2) Any applicable airworthiness directive, acquired as described under 1.4. 3) Applicable instructions for continuing airworthiness, issued by type certificate holders, supplemental type certificate holders and any other organisation that publishes such data in accordance with Part 21 (i.e. copies of the relevant MM and similar documentation and SB’s ordered directly from the issuer). 4) Any applicable data issued in accordance with 145.A.45(d) if applicable. b) An aircraft logbook. c) Engine logbook(s) d) Propeller logbook(s) e) Records of any service life limited and certified life limited components. f) A certificate of release to service for any completed maintenance. g) A status of airworthiness directives and measures mandated by CAA in immediate reaction to a safety problem. h) A status of modifications and repairs. i) A status of compliance with the aircraft maintenance programme. j) A status of service life limited components (including component life limitation, total number of hours/cycles/calendar time since the component has been restored back and open hours/cycles/calendar time remaining before the components need to undergo maintenance). Page 36 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition k) A status of certified life limited components (including component life limitation, accumulated number of hours/cycles/calendar time and open hours/cycles/calendar time remaining before the required retirement of the component is reached). l) A mass and balance report which reflects the current status of the managed aircraft. m) A list of deferred maintenance. n) For any component installed, in addition to EASA Form 1 or equivalent, information on .1) identification of the component. .2) type, S/N and registration to the aircraft to which it has been fitted. .3) total flight/calendar time or cycles of the component, as appropriate. .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 … . …(organisation’s name) CAMO … retains information related to maintenance for the following periods: Document Maintenance data provided by the owner or operator Detailed maintenance records in respect to aircraft and components Total time and flight cycles of the aircraft and all life-limited parts Time and flight cycles since the last scheduled maintenance of the aircraft or the aircraft component TLB Current aircraft status of compliance with the aircraft maintenance programme Status of AD’s Details of modifications and repairs to the A/C or any component vital to flight safety A copy of each airworthiness review certificate, recommendation issued and extended, together with all supporting documents Required retention period Duration of the contract closed between owner or operator and CAMO Until the information contained is superseded by new information equivalent in scope and detail but in no case less then 36 months after the aircraft or component was has been released to service 12 months after the aircraft has been withdrawn from service Until superseded by another scheduled maintenance of equivalent work scope and detail 36 months after the date of last entry Until superseded by another inspection of equivalent work scope and detail 12 months after the aircraft has been withdrawn from service 12 months after the aircraft or component has been withdrawn from service 24 months after the aircraft has been permanently withdrawn from service Page 37 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition c) Preservation of records26 Keeping continuing airworthiness records in a form acceptable to CAA 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 CAA 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. 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 other authorities using the following internet addresses: EASA: http://ad.easa.europa.eu FAA: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/airworthiness_directives/ TCAA: http://wwwapps3.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/cawis-swimn/awd-lv-cs1401.asp?rand= ANAC: http://www2.anac.gov.br/certificacao/DA/DAE.asp Additionally: AD’s of aircraft/engine/components issued state of manafacture. 26 Please describe your specific preservation-system. Page 38 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 number f) Subject 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 CAA for approval. Deviation request shall state the reason for request and shall include supporting data. 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. Page 39 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 CAA 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. 1.6 Non-mandatory modification embodiment policy a) General Non-mandatory modifications will normally be distributed in the form of manufacturer's Service Bulletins, Service letters, Information Letters, Alert wire´s, Note´s, Modsums, Operators Letters, Memo´s, etc., or will be derived from them. Any other changes (i.e. those not covered by a manufacturer's dokumentation) will be initiated by the PCA in consultation with the contracted approved maintenance organisation or authorised personnel. b) Modifications Service Bulletins and all other necessary technical publications are directly received on the basis of subscriptions from the official dealers. All manufacturer's Service documentation applicable to the aircraft managed by …(organisation’s name) CAMO … will be reviewed in the first instance by the PCA for applicability. Where compliance with the modification in the Service documents 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 Modification then the approved MO will be advised by the PCA. All relevant modifications will be discussed during the Liaison Meetings. Page 40 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition c) Modification categories All modifications may be considered to fall in one of two categories: • Major modification • Minor modification 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. 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. 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. Page 41 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 TLB 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. b) Liaison with manufacturers and regulatory authorities The PCA is responsible for contacting the aircraft manufacturers and CAA on all matters concerning the airworthiness of …(organisation’s name) CAMO … managed aircraft. Both CAA 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 TLB 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 TLB 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. Page 42 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 the online reporting tool or the reporting forms published by CAA published on www.caa.me27 shall be used. 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 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. 1.9 Engineering activity All engineering is contracted to suitably approved design organisations. Engineering orders dealing with minor changes can be prepared by anyone. 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 provides an appropriate means of monitoring the effectiveness of the maintenance programme and 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 components 28. 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. 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. 27 28 http://www.caa.me/index.php?strana=fiksna&id=20&menu_id=3 Appendix 1 to AMC M.A.302 should be used as a basis for the development of a reliability programmme. Page 43 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition The pre-flight inspections consist of the following items: a) Pre-flight inspection according to aircraft flight manual (walk-around) b) Inspection of the TLB 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 TLB. Any defect appeared during the pre-flight inspections is reported to the PCA using the TLB. 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 for aircraft used in commercial air transport. 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. 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. A technical flight is considered necessary after the following events have taken place: Page 44 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 TLB. After successful performance of the maintenance check flight the full release is issued. Page 45 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 CAA/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 2.7 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 policy29 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. b) Quality plan30 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. 29 Please enter your specific quality policy. 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. 30 Page 46 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 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.

For new aircraft originating from an EU member state the PCA shall ensure that a statement of conformity according Part 21 is issued by the manufacturer. The conformity with the Montenegrian additional national requirements and the existence of the required data package has to be ensured by the PCA. For new aircraft imported from a third country the conformity of the aircraft has to be documented by an export CoA stating conformity to an EASA approved type design. 4.5 Recommendations to competent authorities for the issuance of airworthiness review certificates An M.A.902 airworthiness review certificate (EASA Form 15b) or a recommendation form (5.1 h) is issued by appropriately authorised M.A.707 airworthiness review staff on behalf of …(organisation’s name) CAMO CAMO when satisfied that the airworthiness review has been properly carried out. A copy of both physical review and document review check lists stated above should be sent to the competent authority together with any recommendation issued. The recommendation sent by a continuing airworthiness management organisation (CAMO) or by M.A.901(g) certifying staff to the competent authority of the Member State of registry should be, at least, in English when the Member State of registry is different from the CAMO’s Member State. Otherwise it can be completed in the official language(s) of the CAMO’s Member State. This should also include a finding statement with the rectification of findings if necessary. The recommendation sent to the competent authority should contain at least the items described below: a) General information - CAMO name and address - owner name - date and place the document review and the aircraft survey were carried out - period and place the aircraft can be seen if required by the competent authority b) Aircraft information - registration - type - manufacturer - serial number - flight manual reference - weight and centre of gravity data Page 61 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition - aircraft maintenance programme reference c) Documents accompanying the recommendation - copy of registration papers - The owners request for a new airworthiness review certificate d) Aircraft status - aircraft total time and cycles - list of persons or organisations having carried out continuing airworthiness activities including maintenance tasks on the aircraft and its components since the last airworthiness review certificate e) Aircraft survey - copy of the filled out Physical review checklist (chapter 5.1 (g)). f) Findings - a list of all the findings made during the airworthiness review with the corrective action carried out g) Statement - A statement signed by the airworthiness review staff recommending the issue of an airworthiness review certificate. The statement should confirm that the aircraft in its current configuration complies with the following: - airworthiness directives up to the latest published issue, and; - type certificate datasheet, and; - aircraft maintenance programme, and; - component service life limitations, and; - the valid weight and centre of gravity schedule reflecting the current configuration of the aircraft, and; - Part 21 for all modifications and repairs, and; - the current flight manual including supplements, and; - operational requirements. The above items should clearly state the exact reference of the data used in establishing compliance; for instance the number and issue of the type certificate data sheet used should be stated. The statement should also confirm that all of the above is properly entered and certified in the aircraft continuing airworthiness record system and/or in the owner/operator’s TLB. Findings All findings raised during the Airworthiness Review will have their corrective actions carried out and verified by the Airworthiness Review Staff. ARC may not be issued or recommended unless the Airworthiness Review Staff is satisfied that All findings raised during the Airworthiness Review have been rectified. 4.6 Issuance of airworthiness review certificates After successful completion of an airworthiness review, the appropriately authorised airworthiness review staff issues the ARC by using the Form 15b. The ARC has to be numbered with ascending and unique digits. All entries made shall be clear and accurate. When it is Page 62 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 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 finding levels 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 environment41 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 Form 15b. The original ARC will be held in the respective aircraft documents. A copy of any airworthiness review certificate issued or extended for an aircraft shall be sent to the Member State of Registry of that aircraft within 10 days. …(organisation’s name) CAMO will also retain one copy of each ARC issued (refer to 4.7 in this CAME). Invalidity of the airworthiness review certificate An airworthiness review certificate becomes invalid if: 1. suspended or revoked; or 2. the airworthiness certificate is suspended or revoked; or 3. the aircraft is not on the aircraft register of a Member State; or 4. the type certificate under which the airworthiness certificate was issued is suspended or revoked. An aircraft must not fly if the airworthiness certificate is invalid or if the above points 1. to 4. are not verified. Upon surrender or revocation, the airworthiness review certificate shall be returned to the competent authority. An airworthiness review certificate shall not be extended if the organisation is aware or has reason to believe that the aircraft is unairworthy. 41 An aircraft in a controlled environment is an aircraft continuously managed by an M.A. Subpart G approved continuing airworthiness management organisation, which has not changed organisations in the previous 12 months, and which is maintained by approved maintenance organisations. This includes M.A.803(b) maintenance carried out and released to seervice according to M.A.801(b)2 or M.A.801(b)3. Page 63 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 4.7 Airworthiness review records, responsibilities, retention and access The PCA is responsible that the airworthiness review records are kept in a form acceptable to CAA. Retention takes place according to part 1.3 c) and d) in this CAME. …(organisation’s name) CAMO issues an airworthiness review certificate, or makes a recommendation for the airworthiness review to a Member State of Registry. …(organisation’s name) CAMO retains a copy of each airworthiness review certificate and recommendation issued, together with all supporting documents. …(organisation’s name) CAMO retains a copy of all those records until two years after the aircraft has been permanently withdrawn from service (refer to table of retention periods in 1.3 in this CAME). Page 64 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition Part 4B Permit To Fly Procedures 1) General A Permit to Fly is generally necessary when a certificate of airworthiness is temporarily invalid, for example as the result of a damage, or when a certificate of airworthiness cannot be issued for instance when the aircraft does not comply with the essential requirements for airworthiness or when compliance with those requirements has not yet been shown, but the aircraft is nevertheless capable of performing a safe flight. This section provides means to develop a procedure for the issue of a permit to fly including approval of the flight conditions. Each CAMO applicant or holder must develop its own internal procedure in order to obtain the privilege of M.A.711 (c) to issue permits to fly for an aircraft under procedures agreed with CAA and in accordance with Part 21A.711(d) of the Annex (Part-21) to Regulation (EC) No 748/2012 for the particular aircraft for which the organisation is approved to issue the airworthiness review certificate, when the continuing airworthiness management organisation is attesting conformity with approved flight conditions. 4B.1 Conformity with approved flight conditions This procedure should indicate how conformity with approved flight conditions is established, documented and attested by an authorised person. The permit to fly can only be issued when approval of the flight conditions as set out in 21A.710 has been obtained and, as applicable, when any maintenance action defined in the approved flight conditions has been carried out and certified for the aircraft under consideration. A Permit to Fly may only be issued when it has been established that the aircraft conforms with the approved flight condition and is in a condition for safe operation. Where the CAMO is acting on behalf of the owner/operator and applies to CAA, EASA or an approved design organisation, as applicable for the approval of flight conditions, the CAMO should establish procedures for determining the flight conditions that should be submitted for approval. When approval of the flight conditions is related to the safety of the design, the flight conditions shall be approved by: • the CAA; or • an appropriately approved design organisation, under the privilege of point 21.A.263(c)(6). 1. The approval of flight conditions is related to the safety of the design, when: • the aircraft does not conform to an approved design; or • an Airworthiness Limitation, a Certification Maintenance Requirement or an Airworthiness Directive has not been complied with; or • the intended flight(s) are outside the approved envelope; • the permit to fly is issued for the purpose of 21.A.701(a)(15). Page 65 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition Where the proposed flight conditions are not related to the safety of design, the application for approval can be sent to CAA, along with the completed application form. The CAMO should add any additional flight conditions that are considered necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft to the application. When approval of the flight conditions is not related to the safety of the design, the flight conditions shall be approved by the competent authority, or the appropriately approved CAMO that will also issue the permit to fly. 2. The approval of flight conditions is not related to the safety of the design are: • production flight testing for the purpose of conformity establishment; • delivery / export flight of a new aircraft the design of which is approved; • demonstrating continuing conformity with the standard previously accepted by the CAA for the aircraft or type of aircraft to qualify or re-qualify for a (restricted) certificate of airworthiness. The CAMO should establish procedures by which it can ensure and demonstrate that any maintenance required has been completed prior to the issue of the Permit to Fly. 4B.2 Issue of the permit to fly under the CAMO privilege The procedure should describe the process to prepare the Form 20b (See Appendix IV to Part 21) and how compliance with 21A.711(d) and (e) is established before signature of the permit to fly. It should also describe how the organisation ensures compliance with 21A.711(g) for the revocation of the permit to fly. The procedure should describe how to complete the Form 20b, including how the CAMO records and identifies the permits that it issues. Examples of the Form 20b are provided in Part 5: D’ for Design related Permits ND’ for Non-Design related Permits Before the Permit can be issued the CAMO must verify the following: an application has been made, the flight conditions are approved, that the aircraft conforms with the approved flight conditions and that any required maintenance has been completed and certified (as per 4B.1 above). Details of the method by which the Permit to Fly is delivered/transmitted to the aircraft location should be included. Should it become evident that the approved flight conditions have not been complied with, the CAMO who issued the Permit, shall revoke it immediately and inform CAA (21A.711(g)). 4B.3 Permit to fly authorised signatories The person(s) authorised to sign the permit to fly under the privilege of M.A.711(c) should be identified by name, signature and scope of authority in the procedure. Only those individuals who are current Airworthiness Review Staff can be authorised as a Permit to Fly signatory. This paragraph, or reference to the relevant section in the CAME, should establish the working procedures for the assessment of the staff who will be completing and issuing Permits to Fly – ref M.A.707. The assessment should address training requirements. A description shall be given regarding the issuance of authorisations for the staff and reference as to how records are kept and maintained. Page 66 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition 4B.4 Interface with the local authority for the flight The procedure must include provisions describing the communication with the local authority for compliance with the local requirements which are outside the scope of the conditions of 21A.708(b) (see 21A.711(d)). 4B.5 Permit to fly records, responsibilities, retention and access This paragraph should describe how records are kept, the periods of record keeping, location where the records are being stored, access to the records and responsibilities. The method for providing a copy of any Permit issued by the CAMO to CAA within 3 days of its date of issue shall also be specified in this section of the CAME Page 67 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition Part 5 Appendices 5.1 Sample documents a) TLB b) Quality plan c) Extension form d) CAME Recognition Certificate Page 68 of 78 User Guide Part M, Subpart G approvals User guide for Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition f) Permit to Fly Member State of Competent Authority having issued the organisation approval under which the permit to fly is issued; or ‘EASA’ when approval issued by EASA Name and Address of the organisation issuing the permit (*) to fly This permit to fly is issued pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, Article 5(4)(a) and certifies that the aircraft is capable of safe flight for the purpose and within the conditions listed below and is valid in all Member States 1.
