16.4 To have adequate control over any changes to the management personnel specified in
145.A.30 (a) and (b) will require an amendment to the exposition.
(a) Changes to the CAR-145 approvals include the following:
(b) Name change
(c) Address change
(d) Approval scope and rating
(e) New base facility
The applicable part/s of the CA Form-6 should be used for the change.
17. Maintenance Organization Exposition (MOE) amendments (145. B.40)
17.1 For any change to the Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE):

PART II
(i) In the case of direct approval of the changes in accordance with point 145.A.70 (b), the DGCA
shall verify that the procedures specified in the exposition are in compliance with CAR 145
before formally notifying the approved organisation of the approval.
(ii) In the case an indirect approval procedure is used for the approval of the changes in
accordance with point 145.A.70(c), the DGCA shall ensure
a. that the changes remain minor and
b. that it has an adequate control over the approval of the changes to ensure they remain
in compliance with the requirements CAR 145.
17.2 A simple exposition status sheet should be maintained which contains information on when
an amendment was received by RAO and when it was approved.
The DGCA may define some class of amendments to the exposition which may be incorporated
without prior authority approval. In this case a procedure should be stated in the amendment
section of the MOE.
The exposition chapter dealing with scope of work/approval should not be subject to this
procedure.
17.3 The organization should submit each exposition amendment to the RAO whether it is an
amendment for approval or a delegated approval amendment. Where the amendment
requires approval by the RAO, RAO when satisfied that the amendment meets the
requirement of CAR 145, an approval to the same shall be indicated in writing and with
intimation to DGCA Hdqrs. Where the amendment has been submitted under the delegated
approval procedure the RAO should acknowledge receipt in writing.
18. Admonition, Warning, Revocation, suspension and limitation of approval (145.B.45)
The procedure as laid down in sub rule 10 of Rule 133B and instructions issued by DGCA Hqrs
from time to time shall be followed in order to:
(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat; or
(b) admonish, warn, suspend, revoke or limit the approval granted to a person or
organization pursuant to 145.B.50.
Note: Enforcement action shall be taken as per the detail procedure(s) given in the Enforcement
Manual.
19. Findings (145.B.50)
(a) When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing non- compliance with
the requirements of CAR- 145, the following actions shall be taken:
(i) For level 1 findings, immediate action shall be taken to revoke, limit or suspend in
whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding, the maintenance
PART II
organisation approval, until successful corrective action has been taken by the
organization. In practical terms a level 1 finding is where a significant non-compliance
with CAR-145 is found.
The following are examples of level 1 finding:
− Failure to gain access to the organisation during normal operating hours of the
organisation in accordance with 145.A.90 (2) after two written requests.
− If the calibration control of equipment as specified in 45.A.40 (b) had
previously broken down on a particular type product line such that most
“calibrated” equipment was suspect from that time then that would be a level 1
finding.
Note: A complete product line is defined as all the aircraft, engine or component of a
particular type.
For a level 1 finding it may be necessary for officers of Airworthiness
Directorate to ensure that further maintenance and re-certification of all affected
products is accomplished, dependent upon the nature of the finding.
(ii) For level 2 findings, the corrective action period granted must be appropriate to the
nature of the finding but in any case initially must not be more than 30 days. In
certain circumstances and subject to the nature of the finding 30 days period may
be extended up to 45 days subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan agreed.
In practical terms where an officer of AWD finds a non-compliance with CAR -145
against one product, it is deemed to be a level 2 finding. The following are example level
2 findings:
− One time use of a component without any serviceable tag.
− The training documents of the certifying staff are not completed.
(b) Action shall be taken to suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure to comply
within the timescale granted.
(i) Where the organisation has not implemented the necessary corrective action within
the stipulated period, necessary action shall be taken in line with
requirements/guidelines as stipulated in the enforcement manual/ enforcement
circular.
20. Record-keeping (145.B.55)
20.1 Records of approval of an organisation shall be retained for an adequate period that allows
adequate traceability of the process to issue, continue, change, suspend or revoke each
individual organization approval.
(i) The records shall include as a minimum:
(a) the application for an organisation approval, including the continuation thereof.
PART II
(b) the continued oversight program including all audit records.

(c) the organisation approval certificate including any change thereto.
(d) a copy of the audit program listing the dates when audits are due and when audits
were carried out.
(e) copies of all formal correspondence including Form 4 or equivalent.
(f) details of any exemption and enforcement action(s).
(g) any other regulatory authority audit report forms.
(h) maintenance organization expositions.
(i) The minimum retention period for the above records shall be four
years except (c) & (h), which should be retained permanently.
(ii) Either a paper or computer system or any combination of both may be used
subject to appropriate controls.
(iii) The record-keeping system should ensure that all records are accessible
whenever needed within a reasonable time. These records should be
organized in a consistent way throughout (chronological, alphabetical order,
etc.). Copies of policy letters should also be retained in separate folders for
future reference.
(iv) All records containing sensitive data regarding applicants or organizations
should be stored in a secure manner with controlled access to ensure
confidentiality of this kind of data.
(v) All computer hardware used to ensure data backup should be stored in a
different location from that containing the working data in an environment
that ensures they remain in good condition. When hardware or
software changes take place special care should be taken to ensure that all
necessary data continues to be accessible at least through the full period as
specified above.
21. Exemptions (145.B.60)
All requests pertaining to exemptions shall be forwarded to DGCA Hqrs with recommendation of
the RAO along with supporting documents.
