Pre-flight Servicing The pilot-in-command or, in the case of commercial air transport, the operator shall be responsible for the satisfactory accomplishment of the pre-flight inspection. This inspection must be carried out by the pilot or another qualified person but need not be carried out by an approved maintenance organisation or by Part-66 certifying staff Contracting of CAMO Organisations by owners In order to satisfy his responsibilities the owner of an aircraft may contract the tasks associated with continuing airworthiness to an approved CAMO as specified in M.A. Sub Part G In this case, the continuing airworthiness management organisation assumes responsibility for the proper accomplishment of these tasks. In the case of large aircraft, in order to satisfy the responsibilities of paragraph (a) the owner of an aircraft shall ensure that the tasks associated with continuing airworthiness are performed by a CAMO. A written contract shall be made in accordance with Appendix | to Part-M. In this case, the continuing airworthiness management organisation assumes responsibility for the proper accomplishment of these tasks Module 10.6 Continuing Airworthiness Ca TTS Integrated Training System © Copyright 2012Integrated Training System uobopre com quecton practes sd Additional Information - Responsibilities AMC M.A.201 (h) 1. Reference to aircraft includes the components fitted to or intended to be fitted to the aircraft 2. The performance of ground de-icing and anti-icing activities does not require a Part-145 approval 3. The requirement means that the operator 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 4. An operator should therefore have adequate knowledge of the design status (type specification, customer options, airworthiness directives (AD), modifications, operational equipment) and required and performed maintenance. Status of aircraft design and maintenance should be adequately documented to support the performance of the quality system. 5. An operator should establish adequate co-ordination between flight operations and maintenance to ensure that both will receive all information on the condition of the aircraft necessary to enable both to perform their tasks 6. The requirement does not mean that an operator himself performs the maintenance (this is to be done by a maintenance organisation approved under Part-145) but that the operator carries the responsibility for the airworthy condition of aircraft it operates and thus should be satisfied before the intended flight that all required maintenance has been properly carried out. 7. When an operator is not appropriately approved in accordance with Part-145, the operator should provide a clear work order to the maintenance contractor. The fact that an operator has contracted a maintenance organisation approved under Part-145 should not prevent it from checking at the maintenance facilities on any aspect of the contracted work if he wishes to do so to satisfy his responsibility for the airworthiness of the aircraft. AMC M.A.201 (h) 4 1. An operator only needs to be approved for the management of the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft listed on its Air Operators Certificate (AOC). The approval to carry out airworthiness reviews is optional. 2. This approval does not prevent the operator subcontracting certain continuing airworthiness management tasks to competent persons or organisations. This activity is considered as an integral element of the operator's M.A. Sub Part G approval. The regulatory monitoring is exercised through the operator's M.A. Sub Part G. approval. The contracts should be acceptable to the competent authority. 6-12 Module 10.6 Continuing Airworthiness TTS Integrated Training System ‘© Copyright 20124 Integrated Training System q Designed in association vith the ‘lut65pro.com cueston practice ald 3. The accomplishment of continuing airworthiness activities forms an important part of the operator's responsibility with the operator remaining accountable for satisfactory completion irrespective of any contract that may be established. 4. Part-M does not provide for organisations to be independently approved to perform continuing airworthiness management tasks on behalf of commercial air transport operators. The approval of such activity is vested in the operator's air operator's certificate (AOC). The sub-contracted organisation is considered to perform the continuing airworthiness management tasks as an integral part of the operator's continuing airworthiness management system, irrespective of any other approval held by the subcontractor including a M.A. Sub Part G approval 5. The operator is ultimately responsible and therefore accountable for the airworthiness of its aircraft. To exercise this responsibility the operator should be satisfied that the actions taken by sub-contracted organisations meet the standards required by M.A. Sub Part G. The operator's management of such activities should therefore be accomplished (a) by active control through direct involvement and/or (b) by endorsing the recommendations made by the sub-contracted organisation 6. In order to retain ultimate responsibility the operator should limit sub-contracted tasks to the activities specified below: airworthiness directive analysis and planning service bulletin analysis planning of maintenance reliability monitoring, engine health monitoring maintenance programme development and amendments any other activities which do not limit the operators responsibilities as agreed by the competent authority, 7. The operator's management controls associated with sub-contracted continuing airworthiness management tasks should be reflected in the associated written contract and be in accordance with the operator's policy and procedures defined in his continuing airworthiness management exposition. When such tasks are sub-contracted the operator's continuing airworthiness management system is considered to be extended to the subcontracted organisation. 8. With the exception of engines and auxiliary power units contracts would normally be limited to one organisation per aircraft type for any combination of the activities, Where arrangements are made with more than one organisation the operator should demonstrate adequate co-ordination controls are in place and that the individual responsibilities are clearly defined in related contracts. 9. Contracts should not authorise the sub-contracted organisation to sub-contract together organisational elements of the continuing airworthiness management tasks. 10. The operator should ensure that any findings arising from the competent authority monitoring of the sub-contracted continuing airworthiness management tasks will be Module 10.6 Continuing Airworthiness: cals Ts integrates Training System © Copynignt 2012Integrated Training System Cop’ Design ascoaten wih ibe lubBGprv.cam question pr closed to the satisfaction of the competent authority. This provision should be included in the contract. 11. The sub-contracted organisation should agree to notify the respective operators of any changes affecting the contracts as socn as practical. The operator should then inform its competent authority. Failure to do so may invalidate the competent authority acceptance of the contract. M.A.202 — Occurrence Reporting Occurrence reporting for Part-M requirements are exactly the same as for Part 145. They are repeated below: 6-14 Any person or organisation responsible under M.A.201 shall report to the State of registry, the organisation responsible for the type design or supplemental type design and, if applicable, the Member State of operator, any identified condition of an aircraft or component that hazards seriously the flight safety. Reports shall be made in a manner established by the Agency and contain all pertinent information about the condition known to the person or organisation Where the person or organisation maintaining the aircraft is contracted by an owner or an operator to carry out maintenance, the person or the organisation maintaining the aircraft shall also report to the owner, the operator or the continuing airworthiness management organisation any such condition affecting the owner's or the operator's aircraft or component.

Part-M lists those tasks in M.A.301 M.A.301 Continuing Airworthiness Tasks The aircraft continuing airworthiness and the serviceability of both operational and emergency equipment shall be ensured by: 1. The accomplishment of pre-flight inspections (see Figure 6.3) 2. The rectification to an officially recognised standard of any defect and damage affecting safe operation taking into account, for all large aircraft or aircraft used for commercial air transport, the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and Configuration Deviation List (CDL) if applicable to the aircraft type; 3.

The maintenance programme and any subsequent amendments shall be approved by the competent authority. Notwithstanding this previous sentence, when the aircraft continuing airworthiness is managed by a CAMO approved under Part-M Sub Part G the maintenance programme and its amendments may be approved through a maintenance programme procedure established by such organisation (hereinafter called indirect approval). The maintenance programme must establish compliance with: 1. Instructions for continuing airworthiness issued by type certificate and supplementary type certificate holders and any other organisation that publishes such data in accordance with Part-21, or 2. instructions issued by the competent authority, if they differ from subparagraph 1 or in the absence of specific recommendations, or 3. instructions defined by the owner or the operator and approved by the competent authority if they differ from subparagraphs 1 and 2 The maintenance programme shall contain details, including frequency, of all maintenance to be cartied out, including any specific tasks linked to specific operations. The programme must include a reliability programme when the maintenance programme is based on Maintenance Steering Group logic, or mainly on condition monitoring AMC M.A.302 1. The term “maintenance programme” is intended to include scheduled maintenance tasks the associated procedures and standard maintenance practises. The term “maintenance schedule” is intended to embrace the scheduled maintenance tasks alone. 2. The aircraft should only be maintained to one approved maintenance programme at a given point in 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. 3. 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 4.
