Part 3
Registration of Aircraft
The proper registration of aircraft is fundamental to the safety of international air operations and
compliance must therefore be established with the applicable regulations.
In accordance with Annex 7 to the Chicago Convention, an aircraft possess the nationality of the
State in which it is registered, therefore States must maintain a registry of aircraft where aircraft
with their nationality are registered with appropriate details. An aircraft cannot be legally registered
in more than one State, but its registration may be changed from one State to another.
Jordan Civil Aviation Law no. 41 of 2007; Articles 37, 38, 39, 52 and 53, and JCAR Part 47
prescribe the requirements for aircraft registration. CARC, among its responsibility in respect of
each aircraft on its Register, has a fundamental responsibility to ensure that the aircraft is operated
in an airworthy condition
This procedure, in respect of aircraft on the Jordanian civil register, describes how CARC will
handle application for Certificate of Registration (CofR), the continued surveillance and validity of
Certificates of Registration (CARC Form 18-0234), De-registration (CARC Form 18-0238) and
issuance of Export Certificate of Airworthiness (CARC Form 18-0231).
The ongoing control and supervision of the civil aircraft register is performed in accordance with
the provisions of JCAR Part 47. Airworthiness Standards is the responsible directorate for
controlling and maintaining the register. The certificate of registration issuance process is
documented in CARC Form 18-0208-1.
The purpose of this procedure is to provide clear guidelines and instructions for registration of
aircraft on the Jordanian Civil Aircraft register and to ensure that the regulatory requirements are
complied with.
The Director Airworthiness Standards has overall responsibility for the administration and control
of the aircraft on the register. He is assisted in this task by the Chief Division. The day to day
supervision and control of the registration and de-registration process is assigned to an
Airworthiness Inspector. The assigned Inspector is therefore responsible for the following:
- Evaluation and reviewing the application and the documentation submitted by the applicant
for a CofR,
- Liaison with the applicant during all phases of the process,
- Arranging for on-site survey and review of the applicants aircraft and the technical
documentation,
- Maintaining detailed records of all correspondence, reports, meetings, etc. in relation to the
application and continued surveillance,
- Making recommendation report as to the suitability of the aircraft for a Certificate of
Registration,
- Ensure that the required procedures are adhered to, and
- Ensuring that all correspondence, audit reports etc. are compiled on completion of the
investigation and filed in the aircraft documentation.
1. Each applicant for a Certificate of Aircraft Registration must submit the following
documents to CARC:
a) A properly completed application form CARC Form 18-0233;
b) The Aircraft Bill of Sale, or other evidence of ownership authorized in accordance
with Part 47;
c) Settlement of applicable fees ;
d) Additional support documentation, when it is proposed to register the aircraft in the
name of a company, confirming the status of the company under the Jordanian law.
2. In accordance with JCAR Part 47, an aircraft shall not be registered or continue to be
registered in Jordan Civil Aircraft Register unless it:
a) is wholly owned by a citizen of Jordan or a permanent resident in Jordan, or
b) is owned or leased with the purpose of purchase or leased for a period of not less than
twelve months by a Jordanian citizen, or
c) is owned by a company or corporation registered in Jordan in accordance with the laws
and regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and has a place of business
therein.
CARC shall perform sufficient investigation activities for an applicant for, or holder of, a
registration certificate to justify the issuance, maintenance, amendment, suspension or revocation of
the certificate.
In no case any aircraft may be operated unless there is an appropriate registration certificate issued
to and valid for that aircraft.
The following procedures are generally applied to the issuance of a certificate of registration, and
will consider any other specific procedures which may be prescribed in paragraphs dealing with
individual registration categories as specified in JCAR Part 47.
When the above items are resolved to the satisfaction of AWSD and checklist CARC Form 18-
0208-1 is properly completed, a certificate of registration may be issued to the aircraft.
If the aircraft does not meet the requirements and issuance of a certificate of registration is denied, a
letter will be sent to the applicant within 72 hrs, after the decision is made stating the reason(s) for
denying the issuance of the certificate. A copy of the denial letter should be attached to the
application and filed with the aircraft record.
If new application is made , and CARC Airworthiness Inspector has reason to suspect that a letter of
denial may exist, the inspector should check the aircraft documentation for the possible existence of
such letter for a particular aircraft, as this may assist the Inspector in determining aircraft eligibility.
CARC shall, as applicable, issue, or amend a Certificate of Registration (CARC form 18-0234),
without undue delay when it is satisfied that the applicable requirements of JCAR Part 47 are met.
The assigned Inspector will complete/ensure completion of, following steps as part of the
registration process;
1. Entering the following information in the hard copy registration book; Civil Aircraft
Register, and electronic copies as backup in the AWS System;
- Registration Number,
- Registration Mark,
- Registration Date,
- Owner name, nationality and address,
- Operator name, nationality and address,
- Aircraft Information: Country, Name and Date of Manufacture, Aircraft Type, MSN,
Engine Type and Number of Engines, Propeller Type, APU Type, Max. Take-off Mass,
Max. Landing Mass, Category, Mortgagee Name and Mortgage Letter No.
- De-registration Date, and
- Inspector’s Name, Signature and Date.
2. Where the aircraft was previously entered on the Jordanian civil aircraft register, the
previous registration marks may be allocated and the next sequential number used as the
registration number.
3. When an aircraft of a type is first entered in Jordan Civil Aircraft Register, the State of
design and manufacture is advised.
4. The Certificate of Registration (CARC Form 18-0234) is prepared and submitted to the
CEO/Chief Commissioner for signature.
5. All documents including the issued Certificate of Registration, correspondences, reports etc.
are compiled and filed in the aircraft file.
6. When the Certificate of Registration is signed by the CEO/Chief Commissioner, the
certificate is sent to the applicant and a copy is retained on aircraft file.
A Certificate of Registration shall be issued for an unlimited duration. It shall remain valid subject
to:
1. Continued compliance with the requirement of JCAR Part 47, and
2. The certificate is not being suspended, revoked or surrendered.
The CARC assigned Inspector for aircraft will monitor the status of the Certificates of Registration
for aircraft entered on the Jordanian Civil Aircraft Register.
Where a change takes place in the ownership of an aircraft registered in Jordan or the requirements
for ownership as prescribed in Part 47 cease to be fulfilled in respect of such an aircraft, the
registered owner at the time of that change shall forthwith notify CARC of the change.
A person who becomes the owner of an aircraft registered on Jordan shall forthwith notify
CARC of that fact .
Upon receipt of a notification of any change together with a completed application form and
evidence of settlement of appropriate fee, the application will be processed in accordance with the
relevant section of the initial application and investigation process.
Within 30 days after any change in the permanent mailing address, the holder of a Certificate of
Aircraft Registration for an aircraft shall notify CARC of the new address. A revised Certificate of
Aircraft Registration is then issued.
If CARC is satisfied that any of the aircraft registration requirements cease to be legally complied
with Jordanian laws and/or regulations, the requirements for ownership are no longer valid, a
change has occurred or that any person has become the owner of an aircraft registered in Jordan,
CARC may, as it thinks fit, either cause the registration of the aircraft to be cancelled or, on receipt
of an appropriate application and settlement of the applicable fee, cause the relevant
particulars entered in the register in respect of that aircraft.
The certificate of registration shall also be cancelled in cases specified in JCAR Part 47, Para.
47.41.
3.8 Records
CARC system of record keeping allows adequate traceability of the process to issue, maintain,
amend, suspend or revoke each individual registration certificate.
In addition, a hard copy registration book containing details of all aircraft on Jordanian civil aircraft
register is maintained by the AWS Directorate.
The records shall be archived for a minimum retention period of six years after the aircraft has been
removed from the Jordanian Civil aircraft register.
3.9 Exemptions
CARC may grant exemptions from requirements laid down in the JCAR Part 47 Regulation in the
event of unforeseen urgent operational circumstances or operational needs of a limited duration,
provided the level of safety is not adversely affected thereby.
Exemptions will be processed in accordance with Chapter 6 – Petitions of CEO Order 1-2013
(General Rule Making Procedures).
All exemptions granted in accordance with CEO Order 1-2013 General Rule Making, shall be
recorded and retained by CARC.
The procedure for de-registration of an aircraft (CARC Form 18-0238) is detailed in Guidance
Procedure No. AWS 28 “Deregistration of Aircraft”; which is intended to assist the aviation
industry in Jordan and CARC Airworthiness Inspectors to process the applications for
deregistration of Jordanian registered aircraft.
The procedure for issuing an Export Certificate of Airworthiness (CARC Form 18-0231) is detailed
in Guidance Procedure No. AWS 28 “Deregistration of Aircraft”; which is intended to assist the
aviation industry in Jordan and CARC Airworthiness Inspectors to process the applications for
issuing an Export Certificate of Airworthiness for Jordanian registered aircraft.
Part 4
Certificate of Airworthiness
This procedure describes how CARC will handle issuance, renewal and continued validity of the
Certificates of Airworthiness in respect of aircraft eligible for registration on Jordanian civil aircraft
register.
CARC shall perform sufficient investigation activities for an applicant for, or holder of, an
airworthiness certificate to justify the issuance, renewal, maintenance, amendment, suspension or
revocation of the certificate.
The continued validity of the Certificates of Airworthiness issued in respect of aircraft on the
Jordanian Civil aircraft register shall be monitored under the conditions of CARC Continued
Surveillance Program, to ensure continued compliance with the requirements of Part M and other
applicable JCAR.
AWSD certificate of airworthiness issuance process is documented in CARC Form 18-0208, while
the continued validity, renewal and continued oversight of a certificate of airworthiness issued by
CARC are carried out through activities specified in the aircraft continued surveillance program, the
associated procedures, AMC and GM, to ensure continued compliance with the requirements of
Part M and other applicable JCAR. This includes:
- Evaluation of applications for renewal submitted to CARC including the applicants’ produced
Airworthiness Review Report and Recommendation (ARR&R),
- Conducting detailed reviews and inspections of the aircraft continuing airworthiness records,
The Director Airworthiness Standards has overall responsibility for the issuance of the Certificate
of Airworthiness and its validity. The Director is assisted in this task by the Chief Division. The day
to day supervision on the status of the Certificates of Airworthiness is the responsibility of the
assigned Airworthiness Inspector. The assigned Inspector is therefore responsible for the following:
With regards to a new aircraft, the applicant shall demonstrate to CARC/AWSD that:
- the aircraft conforms to an approved/accepted design and is in a condition for safe operation;
or
- the aircraft conforms to a type design approved (accepted by CARC) under a type-certificate
and any supplemental type-certificate, change or repair approved in accordance with Part 21;
or
- In case of a resricted certificate of airworthiness, the aircraft conforms to a design
approved/accepted by CARC under a restricted type-certificate or in accordance with
specific airworthiness specifications and any supplemental type-certificate change or repair
approved in accordance with Part 21; and
- the applicable airworthiness directives have been complied with; and
- the aircraft has been inspected in accordance with the applicable provisions of Part M and an
airworthiness review report and airworthiness review recommendation have been submitted,
and
- the aircraft conforms to an approved/accepted design and is in a condition for safe operation.
Note: Limitations for use will be associated with restricted certificates of airworthiness, including
airspace restrictions, and other necessary conditions, restrictions or limitations as appropriate
CARC shall perform sufficient investigation activities for aircraft registration eligibility/validity, an
applicant for, or holder of, an airworthiness certificate to justify the issuance of a certificate of
airworthiness. AWSD investigation processes for the issuance of a certificate of airworthiness
issuance is documented in CARC Form 18-0208, 18-0208-1 through 18-0208-4.
- CARC Form 18-0208-2 “Airworthiness Requirements for Aircraft first of type to be certified
by CARC”,
- CARC Form 18-0208-3 “Airworthiness Requirements for “New Aircraft” of a type accepted
by CARC”,
In no case may any aircraft be operated unless there is an appropriate airworthiness certificate
issued and is valid for that aircraft. When the above requirements are satisfactory completed, the
certificate of airworthiness will be issued as described in paragraph 4.5
If the aircraft does not meet the requirements for the certification requested and the airworthiness
certificate is denied, a letter will be written to the applicant, within 72 hrs., stating reason(s) for
denying the certificate. A copy of the denial letter should be attached to the application and filed
with the aircraft documentation.
Therefore, when an application for airworthiness certificate is made, and CARC inspector has
reason to suspect such letter may exist, the inspector should check with the aircraft documentation
for the possible existence of a denial letter for a particular aircraft, as this may assist the Inspector in
determining aircraft eligibility.
CARC shall, as applicable, issue, or amend a Certificate of Airworthiness (CARC Form 18-0119)
without undue delay when it is satisfied that the investigation process specified in para. 4.4 is
satisfactorily completed and the applicable regulatory requirements of Part 21 and Part M are met.
In addition to a first issuance of an airworthiness certificate for a new aircraft or used aircraft,
CARC shall issue an initial airworthiness review certificate (CARC Form 18-0015a).
- the type-certificate or restricted type-certificate under which it is issued not being previously
invalidated under point 21.A.51;
- the certificate not being surrendered or revoked under point 21.A.181 (b).
To ensure the continuing airworthiness of an aircraft, the following activities are monitored,
supervised and/or carried out by the AWSD as appropriate using the checklist CARC Form 18-0304
“Continuing Airworthiness Records Review and Physical Survey of Aircraft”:
An annual airworthiness review and aircraft physical survey process is established in accordance
with the requirements of Part M, the associated AMC and GM. The process includes review and
survey of following:

Based on satisfactory completion of the airworthiness’ review and survey, an airworthiness review
report and recommendation are produced by the holder of a certificate of airworthiness or, as
applicable, by the holder’s contracted organization in accordance with AWSD published regulations
and Airworthiness Instructions, and submitted to CARC/AWSD annually along with application for
renewal, for compliance review and evaluation by the assigned airworthiness inspector, and
subsequently performing verification activities if necessary and renewal of the airworthiness
review certificate and the certificate of airworthiness, as appropriate.
The continued oversight of a certificate of airworthiness issued by CARC is carried out by AWSD
in accordance with the established aircraft continued surveillance program, which include following
activities:
- Evaluating applications for renewal submitted to CARC/AWSD including the applicants’
produced Airworthiness Review Report and Recommendation (ARR&R),
- Conducting detailed reviews and inspections of the aircraft continuing airworthiness records,
If during aircraft reviews, surveys and/or inspections or by other means evidence is found showing
noncompliance to Part-M requirement, CARC shall take the following actions:
- for level 1 findings, CARC/AWSD shall require appropriate corrective action to be taken
before further flight and immediate action shall be taken to revoke or suspend the
airworthiness review certificate and subsequently the certificate of airworthiness.
- for level 2 findings, the corrective action required by the CARC/AWSD shall be appropriate
to the nature of the finding.
If the root cause of the finding identifies a noncompliance with any Subpart or with another Part of
regulations, the noncompliance shall be dealt with as prescribed by the relevant Part.
- Upon evidence that any of the conditions specified in point 21.A.181(a) and in para. 4.6 above
is not met, CARC shall suspend or revoke an airworthiness certificate.

results of the elements defined in Para. 4.4 are stated; and
The records are archived for a minimum retention period of six years after leaving that aircraft
national register.
4.10 Exemptions
CARC may grant exemptions from requirements laid down in the JCAR Part 21 Regulation in the
event of unforeseen urgent operational circumstances or operational needs of a limited duration,
provided the level of safety is not adversely affected thereby.
Exemptions will be processed in accordance with Chapter 6 – Petitions of CEO Order 1-2013
(General Rule Making Procedures).
All exemptions granted in accordance with CEO Order 1-2013 General Rule Making, shall be
recorded and retained by CARC.
Part 5
Maintenance Organization Approval
This procedure describes how CARC will handle initial applications, variations and continued
surveillance for approval of maintenance organizations and how CARC organization is structured to
perform this task. The approval shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of the Jordan
Civil Aviation Regulations Part 145 and will follow the related AMC and GM.
The approval of maintenance organizations will be carried out using this procedure and shall be
monitored under the AWSD Annual Audit Plan, so as to ensure continued compliance with the
requirements of Part 145.
This procedure describes how CARC will handle the initial approval, the continuation of the
approval, the change of limitations, suspension or revocation of approvals and the resolution of non-
compliances.
The Director of Airworthiness Standards has overall responsibility for all aspects of Maintenance
Organization Approvals. He is assisted in this task by the Chief Division who will determine how
individual audits shall be conducted and will assign an audit/certification team or an individual
Inspector depending on the nature and scale of the organization requiring audit. The assigned
Inspector/Team Leader is therefore responsible for the following:
- Reviewing the documentation submitted by the applicant;
- Liaison with the applicant during all phases of the process;
- Arranging for an audit of the applicant’s proposed organization in conjunction with the
Chief Division;
- Arranging for formal acceptance in writing of the Key Management Personnel;
- Producing an audit report including details of all non-compliance findings;
- Communicating the audit findings to the applicant and ensuring all non-compliance
findings are rectified;
- Maintaining detailed records of all correspondence, reports, meetings etc in relation to the
application and continued surveillance;
- Making a recommendation report as to the suitability of the organization for approval to
the Chief Division;
- Ensuring that the required procedures are adhered to; and
- Ensuring that all correspondence, audit reports etc are compiled on completion of the
process and submitted to the document control centre for final filing.
When acting as The Team leader, the Inspector must also be capable of performing the following
additional duties:
- Organizing the work of the team, with respect to planning, areas to be audited, work
sharing between team members, etc;
- Identifying particular areas of expertise which may be required for specialized activities
such as NDT etc and arranging the availability of an Inspector within AID with expertise
in the particular area;
- Notifying the applicant of the process which will be applied during all
certification/approval phases;
- Reporting to the Chief Division any problems encountered during the process and
proposing resolutions.
The letter is reviewed by the Chief Division, who will liaise with the applicant and seek additional
information or clarification as may be required. When the letter is accepted by the Director
Airworthiness Standards Standards/Chief Division, the applicant will be entitled to proceed to
Phase I of the certification process.
In the Formal Application Phase, the applicant shall submit the following additional documents:
The final outcome of this phase is the acceptance of the Formal application and its attachments.
During this phase, the Certification team/ Inspector(s) assigned to the certification will review in
detail the content of the Maintenance Organization Exposition for compliance with the requirements
of JCAR 145 including in particular;
The Inspector will liaise with the applicant and seek clarification, amendment to the MOE so as to
fully comply with JCAR 145 requirements.
The outcome of this phase is the acceptance of the MOE for initial physical audit of the
organization. The applicant will be advised of this fact in writing by the assigned Inspector and
arrangements will be made to conduct a physical audit of the organization.
As referenced in Paragraph 5.2, the Chief Division will determine how individual audits shall be
conducted and will assign an audit team or an individual Inspector depending on the nature and
scale of the organization requiring audit.
The physical inspection and audit of the organization will be carried out using CARC Form 18-
0268. The organization will be audited to ensure that the requirements of JCAR 145 are satisfied
and that the procedures reflected in the MOE are actually being followed. The extent of the audit
required will be determined by the nature and scale of the organization’s maintenance activity. The
assigned Inspector/Team Leader will determine the areas to be audited and will select a particular
product line so that the audit can be concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check and
dependent upon the result, the second type may only require a sample check against those activities
seen to be weak on compliance for the first type.
During the accomplishment of the audit, the auditing Inspector(s) will ensure that the following
procedure is followed, so as to ensure that the organization is fully aware of any findings identified.
- In the event that the auditor(s) are unsure about compliance in a particular
organization, the auditor(s), will inform the organization verbally about possible
non-compliance at the time of the audit and the fact that the situation will be
reviewed further within CARC before a final decision is made.
On completion of the physical audit of the organization, the assigned Inspector/Team Leader will
compile all documentation relating to the audit and ensure that;
- Findings are recorded on the audit report form CARC Form 18-0268 with a
provisional categorization as a Level 1 or Level 2;
- Provisional finding levels are reviewed with the Chief Division/Team members as
appropriate, adjusted if necessary and changed from provisional to confirmed;
- If the result of the review finds that the organization is in compliance, a verbal
confirmation shall be given to the organization;
- All findings of confirmed non-compliance shall be confirmed in writing to
the organization within one week of the audit visit;
- Liaison is maintained with the organization on the required corrective actions to
address the findings;
- Detailed records of all correspondence, reports, meetings etc in relation to the
approval are compiled;
- All findings must be corrected before the approval can be issued.
When the assigned Inspector/Team Leader is satisfied that the corrective actions are satisfactory
and that the organization is now ready for approval, the following additional steps will be taken in
order to progress to Phase V.
- A final report is prepared using CARC Form 18-0268 together with meeting of
minutes, correspondence etc. The report shall include the date each finding was
cleared together with a reference to the correspondence received from the
organization regarding clearance of the finding;
- Complete the recommendation for approval section of CARC Form 18-0268 for
submission to the Chief Division;
- Verify that all applicable fees have been paid.
The Chief Division will then conduct a quality review of all the documentation and consider:
- The relevant paragraphs of JCAR 145;
- The categorization of finding levels and the closure action taken;
- Completion and accuracy of CARC Form 18-0268
If this review is deemed satisfactory, the Chief Division will sign the recommendation section of
CARC Form 18-0268.
Once the recommendation report is finalized, the assigned Inspector will arrange for:
- Formal acceptance in writing of the MOE;
- Formal acceptance in writing of the Management Personnel (CARC Form 18-
0285);
- Prepare two copies of the approval certificate, CARC Form 18-0127. The next
numeric sequential number will be allocated to the approval certificate;
- Updating the register of Approved Maintenance Organizations;
- Signing of the approval certificate by Chief Commissioner CARC;
- Forwarding the approval certificate to the applicant;
- Presentation of all documents for filing in the documentation control centre.
The continuation of an approval shall be monitored in accordance with the AWSD continuous
surveillance programme. The programme for JCAR 145 Maintenance Organization Approvals
identifies when the audit visits are due and when such visits are carried out and provides for one
complete audit once per year and two sample audits in the year. In the case of organizations who
also have line stations, the surveillance programme provides for a sampling programme based upon
the number of line stations and complexity of same.
AWSD policy requires that part of any audit accomplished concentrates on two ongoing aspects of
the Part 145 approval, namely the organizations internal self monitoring quality reports produced by
the quality monitoring personnel to determine if the organization is identifying and correcting its
problems and secondly the number of concessions granted by the Quality Manager.
The Chief Division for Maintenance Organization Approvals is responsible for ensuring that the
planned surveillance programme is adhered to and will:
- Ensure that each organization is completely reviewed for compliance with JCAR Part 145
at periods of 12 months;
- Ensure that at least one sample audit is accomplished once per year;
- Ensure that the Accountable Manager is seen at least once every 12 months and briefed
on any findings or issues requiring attention;
- At the successful conclusion of an audit, complete the audit report form CARC Form 18-
0268, including all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendations;
- Liaise with the organization as required in relation to audit findings, requests for changes,
amendment to the MOE etc;
- Maintain records of all correspondences, reports, etc and ensuring that these are delivered
to the documentation centre for filing.
5.6 Findings
When non-compliance findings are noted during the accomplishment of an audit, these findings are
categorised as Level 1 or Level 2. A description of these findings is as follows:
Level 1 is where CARC finds a significant non-compliance with Part 145. The following are
examples of Level 1 findings:
- Failure to gain access to the organization during normal operating hours of the
organization after two written requests;
- If the calibration control of equipment as required by Part 145 had previously broken
down on a particular type product line such that most “calibrated” equipment was suspect
from that time.
Note: A complete product line is defined as all the aircraft, engine, or components of a particular
type.
In the case of a suspect Level 1 finding, the auditing Inspector(s) will immediately contact the Chief
Division and advise him of the situation. If as a result of discussions with the Chief and further
consideration of the issues involved, the finding is confirmed, 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 organization approval, until successful corrective action has been taken by the
organization. The corrective action required may involve further maintenance and re-certification of
all affected products, depending on the nature of the finding.
The auditing Inspector(s) shall immediately advise the organization verbally of the outcome and
formally advise the organization in writing of the finding within 72 hrs.
Level 2 is where CARC finds a non-compliance with Part 145 against one product or component.
Examples include:
5.7 Changes
CARC policy requires that changes to the organization be monitored and controlled.
The approved maintenance organizations are required to advise CARC of any proposed changes as
specified in the organizations MOE. These changes include:
- The name of the organization;
- The main location of the organization;
- Additional locations of the organization;
- The Accountable Manager;
- Key Management Personnel;
- The facilities, equipment, tools, material, procedures, work scope or certifying staff that
could affect the approval.
Depending on the extent of the change, CARC will apply the applicable elements of the initial
approval review process.
CARC will also prescribe the conditions which may be applied during such changes unless it
determines that the approval should be suspended.
The approved maintenance organizations will normally communicate any proposed changes
through the office of the Director Airworthiness Standards. The assigned inspector will liaise with
the Chief Division on any special conditions which may be applied and also arrange for the
accomplishment of any audits required to establish compliance with Part 145 requirements and
ensure that:
- The applicable parts of CARC Form 18-0268 are completed, including all recorded
findings, closure actions and recommendations;
- Appropriate liaison is maintained with the organization as required in relation to audit
findings;
- Letters of approval, certificates etc as may be required as part of the change are prepared
for distribution within CARC and to the organization concerned.
- Records are maintained of all correspondence, reports etc, ensuring that these are
delivered to the documentation centre for filing.
CARC policy is such that all amendments to the Maintenance Organization Exposition shall be
assessed and approved by CARC.
An exposition status sheet is maintained within the AWSD to control all amendments to the MOE
including;
- The Issue/Revision numbers;
- The date when amendments are received and;
- The date when amendments are approved.
The Chief Division is responsible to monitor the Status sheet of all MOEs. The assigned Inspector
is responsible to update the status of the affected MOE, which is controlled as follows:
- The organization submits all proposed amendments to CARC/AWSD;
- The assigned Inspector will review the proposed amendment and if necessary arrange for
an audit of the organization as described elsewhere in this handbook;
- When all Part 145 requirements are deemed satisfactory, the assigned Inspector will
arrange to formally advise the organization of the MOE amendment approval in writing;
- The exposition status sheet is updated to reflect the amendment;
- Records of correspondence, reports etc are delivered to the documentation centre for
filing.
- The updated pages shall be submitted to the Technical Library by the assigned inspector.
The Chief Division is responsible for the day to day surveillance of the Maintenance Organization
Approvals in order to ensure continued compliance with JCAR Part 145.
The process for ensuring continued compliance is reflected in the continued surveillance
programme and rectification of non-compliance findings as described elsewhere in this handbook.
CARC shall;
- Suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of a potential safety threat; or
- Suspend, revoke or limit an approval in the case where appropriate corrective action has
not been implemented in respect of findings identified by CARC.
Such action will only be deemed necessary after all of the issues are fully considered by
AWSD/CARC management.
Formal notification to the organization concerned will initially be given verbally and confirmed in
writing within 72 hrs.
5.10 Records
CARC has established a record keeping system as described in Chapter 2 of this handbook. This
system provides for adequate traceability of the process to issue, continue, change, suspend or
revoke each individual organization approval.
The records shall include as a minimum:
a. The application for an organization approval, including the continuation thereof;
b. The AWSD continued oversight program including all audit records;
c. The organization 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 CARC Form 18-0285 or equivalent;
f. Details of any exemption and enforcement action(s);
g. CARC internal administration forms, minutes of meeting etc;
h. Maintenance Organization Expositions.
The minimum retention period for the above records shall be six years.
CARC primarily utilizes a hard copy record system, but a computerized system is used as an aid.
5.11 Exemptions
CARC may grant exemptions from requirements laid down in the JCAR Part 145 Regulation in the
event of unforeseen urgent operational circumstances or operational needs of a limited duration,
provided the level of safety is not adversely affected thereby.
Exemptions will be processed in accordance with Chapter 6 – Petitions of CEO Order 1-2013
(General Rule Making Procedures).
All exemptions granted in accordance with CEO Order 1-2013 General Rule Making, shall be
recorded and retained by CARC.

and how such data are collated.
m. Safety training and communication: Description of the type of SMS and other safety-related
training that staff receives and the process for assuring the effectiveness of the training.
n. Continuous improvement and sms audit: Description of the process for the continuous
review and improvement of the SMS.
o. SMS records management: Description of the method of storing all SMS-related records and
documents.
CARC may accept Foreign AMOs that are located outside the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, if
initially there is a demonstrated need by a Jordanian operator.
In practice, there are difficulties linked to the fact that Jordan may not have the necessary means
to ensure proper oversight of FAMOs located abroad. To overcome these difficulties, Jordan has
found it convenient to rely on the approval and oversight system of the host State to issue the
acceptance by accepting the approval given by another State. This may lead to the establishment
of supplementary conditions; CARC Supplement to the NAA approved MOE.
CARC has established Guidance Procedure No. AWS 24 “Foreign Approved Maintenance
Organization” on Foreign Part 145 Acceptance as a User Guide for inspectors and applicants.
This procedure is intended to assist the aviation industry in Jordan and the foreign maintenance
organizations to process the applications for obtaining CARC acceptance for a foreign
maintenance organization.
Part 6
Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization Approval
This procedure describes how CARC will handle the issuance/renewal of the Continuing
Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO) approval, the continuing safety oversight and
resolving findings of non-compliance, changes and variations to the approval, and, if necessary and
in the interest of safety, revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval.
The approval process shall be managed in accordance with the guidelines of this procedure,
provisions of Jordan Civil Aviation Regulations Part M, Subpart G and the related AMC and GM.
In case of commercial air transport, and pursuant to Part M, Subpart G for the aircraft it operates,
CAMO shall be approved as part of the air operator certificate issued by CARC. The CAMO
approval process at all phases shall be coordinated with Flight Operations Standards Department of
CARC (FOSD). AWSD Team Leader (TL) for CAMO approval is assigned the duties of AWSD
focal point to coordinate the CAMO certification activities with the AOC certification team.
AWSD CAMO approval process is documented in CARC Form 18-0317 “CAMO Approval
Process Form”
In case of an applicant for AOC, all activities of CAMO certification process are coordinated with
FOSD AOC certification team in accordance with the guidelines addressed in form 18-0317
“CAMO Approval Process Form”.
The Director Airworthiness Standards has overall responsibility for all aspects of CAMO
Approvals. He is assisted in this task by the Chief Division.
AWSD will determine by whom, and how the certification activities and audits shall be conducted,
e.g. it will be necessary to determine whether one large team audit or a short series of small team
audits or a long series of single man audits are most appropriate for a particular situation.
The day to day supervision of CAMO is the responsibility of the assigned Airworthiness Inspector
who will also act as TL in the event that a team is deemed to be the most appropriate approach for
the particular situation.
- Making a recommendation report as to the suitability of the organization for approval to the
Chief Division;
- Ensure that the required procedures are adhered to; and
- Ensuring that all correspondence, audit reports etc. are compiled on completion of the
investigation and submitted to the technical library In-charge for final filing,
- In case of an AOC, coordinating CAMO certification activities with the AOC Certification
team,
When acting as the Team leader, the Inspector must also be capable of performing the following
additional duties:
- Organizing the work of the team with respect to planning, areas to be audited, work sharing
between team members, collecting evidences, reporting, etc.;
- Identifying particular areas of expertise which may be required for special activities and
arranging the availability of an Inspector within AWSD with expertise in that particular
area;
- Presenting to the applicant the process which will be applied during all phases of the
investigation;
- Reporting to the Chief Division any problems encountered during the process and proposing
resolutions of these issues.
The application usually starts with a letter of intent submitted to CARC. The letter of intent will
usually be reviewed by the Legal, the Competition and Corporate Control, the Airworthiness
Standards (AWSD) and the Flight Operations Standards (FOSD) departments of CARC.
Acceptance of the initial application is coordinated with all CARC involved departments of in the
applicable certification activities.
AWSD and other involved departments of CARC, as appropriate, will liaise with the applicant and
seek additional information or clarification as may be required. The applicant will be oriented to
review the applicable regulations, AMC, GM and procedures.
Applicant orientation to review the applicable regulations, AMC, GM and procedures may be
conducted during an informal meeting with the applicant.
When the letter/applicant initial submittal is accepted by CARC, and if the applicant is selected to
proceed with the approval process, then the applicant will be entitled to proceed to Phase-I of the
certification process.
In case of an applicant for AOC, the acceptance of the initial application is coordinated with all
other involved departments of the certification activities.
This phase starts with an informal meeting in CARC facility. The Accountable Manager of the
proposed organization should participate in this meeting. This meeting will include the following
activities:
- General presentation by the applicant, outlining the proposed activity, details of aircraft
types, availability of the required technical staff with qualifications relevant to the planned
work scope, maintenance arrangements, subcontracted maintenance arrangements etc.;
- Description by AWSD representatives of the investigation process, which will be followed
in assessing the applicant for approval.
During the meeting, the prospective applicant will also be provided with the following documents:
- CARC Form 18-0299 “Application for an Approval in accordance with JCAR Part M
Subpart G”,
The applicant will be given one month (30 days) to prepare and submit the application. A copy of
minutes of this meeting shall be kept on file in AWS Department.
When the PASI or, as applicable, POPS is submitted and found satisfactory, the applicant will be
entitled to proceed to Phase-II of the certification process.
In the Formal Application Phase, the applicant shall submit the following documents:
- Completed application form CARC Form 18-0299,
- Completed CARC Form 18-0285 attached with CV’s of key Management Positions,
- The Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition (CAME),
- Completed Compliance Checklist with Part M, Subpart G,
- The operator's aircraft maintenance program(s),
- The aircraft technical log,
- Identification where base and scheduled line maintenance is to take place,
- Where appropriate the technical specification of the maintenance contracts between the
operator and Part-145 approved maintenance organization,
- Arrangements for all base and scheduled line maintenance,
- Details of any contracted maintenance including arrangements for engine and component
support,
- Applicable fees settlement in accordance with fees and charges regulations as published by
CARC.
CARC does not expect the documents listed above be submitted in a completed state with the initial
application for grant or change since each may require approval in its own right and may be subject
to amendment as a result of AWSD assessment during the technical investigations. Draft documents
should be submitted at the earliest opportunity so that investigation of the application can begin.
Grant or change cannot be achieved until CARC is in possession of all required documents.
At the time of application, the operator should have arrangements for all base and scheduled line
maintenance in place for an appropriate period of time, as accepted to CARC. The operator should
establish further arrangements in due course before the maintenance is due.
Base maintenance contracts for high-life time checks may be based on one time contracts, when
CARC considers that this is compatible with the operator’s fleet size.
When above information and documentation are received, AWSD assigned Inspector(s) will
conduct cursory review of these information and documentation, i.e. the formal application and its
attachments, for general acceptance and to check that attachments address the required information
and are of an appropriate quality.
During this phase, AWSD CT will liaise with the applicant as deemed necessary. If the formal
application package is incomplete or otherwise unacceptable, CARC will inform the applicant,
provide details of the deficiencies and advice on the resubmission of the formal application. If the
information in the formal application package is considered acceptable by the certification team, a
formal application meeting with the applicant will be scheduled.
A formal application meeting will be conducted between the certification team and all the key
management personnel of the applicant, with the objective of ensuring that, applicant has submitted
formal application and formal application attachments, review the approval process and establish a
common understanding on the future procedure for the certification process.
In particular, the formal application meeting should confirm that the management background
information satisfies regulatory requirements. It should address any errors or omissions in the
application package, resolve any scheduling date conflicts and agree on a process for revising event
dates, reinforce the communication and working relationships between CARC certification team
and applicant personnel and, finally, determine the general acceptability of the formal application
package.
It should be understood that acceptance of the formal application package by CARC does not
constitute acceptance or approval of any of the attachments which will be subjected to later in depth
review. The identification of significant discrepancies during the in depth review may require
further meetings between appropriate members of CARC certification team and the applicant
personnel.
Subsequent to the formal application meeting and subject to the successful acceptance of the
application package, CARC will provide the applicant with a letter acknowledging receipt and
acceptance of the formal application.
The outcome of this phase is the general acceptance of the Formal application and its attachments.
During this phase, the AWSD Inspector(s) assigned to the investigation will conduct:
a) Detailed review of the CAME, using Part-3 of CARC Form 18-0305 PART-M SUBPART G
APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT, for compliance with the requirements of JCAR
Part M Subpart G including in particular;
- The Management Organization Structure, including the Accountable Manager and senior
Management Personnel;
- Verification that the Accountable Manager has signed the Corporate Commitment Statement
in the CAME;
- The proposed work scope and capability of the organization;
- The availability of the required technical staff with qualifications relevant to the planned
work scope;
- The facilities available for the planned management activity;
- The procedures for the provision of the required technical publications, including regulatory
and type certificate holder documentation etc;
- The procedures for the provision and control of technical documentation;
- Sub Contracted arrangements, if applicable;
- The Quality System.
c) The technical log; the operator’s technical log system will be reviewed by the AWSD Inspector
to ensure compliance with M.306, the associated AMC and GM. The technical log should contain:
e) Compliance Checklist with Part M, Subpart G; It will be reviewed for complete contents and
means of compliance established by the organization to comply with the applicable regulatory
requirements.
The assigned Inspector(s) will liaise with the applicant and seek clarification, amendment to the
CAME and or other relevant documentation so as to fully comply with JCAR Part M Subpart G
requirements.
The outcome of this phase is an initial acceptance of the CAME and the formal application
attachments for initial audit of the organization and the managed airworthiness activities, tasks and
functions. The applicant will be advised of this fact in writing, and arrangement(s) will be made to
conduct physical audit of the organization and the managed continuing airworthiness processes.
During this phase, the applicant is required to demonstrate that its organization is provided with
necessary qualified staff, equipment and facilities, and has the necessary set up to discharge its
responsibility for ensuring that the aircraft remain in an airworthy condition for the duration of their
operational life, this is referred to as managing the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft.
It is assumed that, in the case of an applicant seeking authority to operate leased aircraft registered
in a different State, suitable arrangements have been made between the State of the Operator and
the State of Registry regarding responsibility for the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft.
Further detailed guidance on the maintenance control aspects of an air operator certification, as well
as approval of a Continuing Airworthiness Management and the preparation of maintenance-related
aspects associated with an AOC, is contained in JCAR Part M, the associated AMC and GM.
AWSD assigned Inspector(s) should determine that the structure of the applicant's CAMO is set
forth, clearly delineating duties and responsibilities for all key personnel including the manager(s)
for engineering and maintenance. The names of all incumbents should be listed. The details of the
organizational structure should be included as part of the CAME and, if necessary, also
promulgated separately.
The Inspector checks that a detailed CAME is available for use and guidance of maintenance and
continuing airworthiness personnel and it is kept current and up to date, and it is furnished to all
organizations and persons to whom it has been issued. During the inspection, AWSD assigned
Inspector determine that the provisions of the CAME are being followed in practice. The Inspector
also ascertain the efficiency and promptness of the amendment service and determine that all
instructions for continued airworthiness issued by the organization responsible for the type design
and the States concerned are promptly assessed and circulated to all those who need such
information.
AWSD determine how individual audits are conducted and assign an audit team or an individual
Inspector depending on the nature and scale of the organization. The inspection/audit of the
organization is conducted using CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL
RECOMMENDATION REPORT” or the relevant parts thereof.
The extent of the audit is determined by the nature and the scale of the organization’s continuing
airworthiness management activity. When determining the scope of the audit and which activities of
the organization will be assessed, the privileges of the organization will be taken into account. The
TL and the assigned Inspector(s) determine the areas to be audited and select particular product line
so that the audit can be concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon
the result, the second type may only require a sample check against those activities seen to be weak
on compliance for the first type.
During the accomplishment of the audit, the auditing Inspector(s) will ensure that the following
procedure is followed, to ensure that the organization is fully aware of any findings identified.
- The auditor(s) shall inform the Senior Technical Representative/Quality Manager of the
organization at the end of the audit visit of all findings identified during the audit;
- In the event that the auditor(s) are unsure about compliance in a particular organization, the
auditor(s) will verbally inform the organization about possible non compliance at the time of
the audit and the fact that the situation will be reviewed further within CARC before a final
decision is made.
On completion of the physical audit of the organization, the assigned Inspector/Team Leader will
compile all documentation relating to the audit and ensure that:
- Findings are recorded on the form (CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G
APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT”) with a provisional categorization as a Level
1 or Level 2;
- Provisional finding levels are reviewed with the Chief and AWSD Team members, adjusted if
necessary and changed from provisional to confirmed;
- If, as the result of the review AWSD finds that the organization is in compliance, a verbal
confirmation is given to the organization;
- All findings of confirmed non-compliance is confirmed in writing to the organization within
two weeks of the audit visit;
- Liaison is maintained with the organization on the required corrective action to address the
findings;
- Detailed records of all correspondence, reports, meetings, etc. in relation to the approval
process are compiled;
- All findings must be corrected before the approval can be issued.
When the assigned Inspector/Team Leader is satisfied that the corrective actions are satisfactory
and that the organization is now ready for approval, the following additional steps will be taken in
order to progress to Phase V.
- A final report is prepared using CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL
RECOMMENDATION REPORT” together with minutes of meetings, correspondence, and
related documents. The report includes the date each finding was cleared together with a
reference to the correspondence received from the organization regarding clearance of the
finding.
- Conducting quality review of documentations, if satisfactory, the Chief Division signs the
recommendation.
When the Chief Commissioner signs the approval certificate (CARC Form 18-0014), AWSD team
arranges for:
The CAMO approval is indicated by means of a statement containing the following information:
- Air Operator Certificate number, in case of an AOC,
- Name of the operator, in case of an AOC
- Type(s) of aircraft for which the continuing airworthiness management organization has been
approved,
- Reference identification of the operator’s approved maintenance program(s),
- Reference identification of the approved continuing airworthiness management exposition,
- Any limitations imposed by CARC on the approval,
- Any subcontractors working under the organization’s quality system.
CARC/AWSD shall keep and update a program listing for each Part M, Subpart G approved
continuing airworthiness organizations under its supervision, the dates when audit and renewal
audit visits are due and when such visits were carried out.
Application for renewal is submitted to CARC of at least 45 days before the expiry date of the
approval and shall include the application form (CARC Form 18-0299) and items with changes, as
applicable, of the formal application attachments as specified in Para. 6.4.2. Changes approval shall
be processed in accordance with Para 6.6 below.
- A relevant sample of the aircraft managed by Part M, Subpart G approved organization shall
be surveyed in every 24 month period. The size of the sample will be decided by AWSD
based on the result of prior audits and earlier product surveys.
- CARC shall record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close a finding) and
recommendations.
- A meeting with the Accountable manager shall be convened at least once every 24 months to
ensure he/she remains informed of significant issues arising during audits.
Where CARC/AWSD has decided that a series of audit visits are necessary to arrive at a complete
audit of an approved continuing airworthiness management organization, the program should
indicate which aspects of the approval will be covered on each visit.
AWSD determine the areas to be audited and select particular product line so that the audit can be
concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon the result, the second
type may only require a sample check against those activities seen to be weak on compliance for the
first type. Subsequent sample(s), if necessary, follow the same criteria
It is recommended that part of an audit concentrates on two ongoing aspects of Part M, Subpart G
approval, namely the organization’s internal self-monitoring quality reports produced by the quality
monitoring personnel to determine if the organization is identifying and correcting its problems and
secondly the number of concessions granted by the quality manager.
At the successful conclusion of the audit(s) including verification of the exposition, an audit report
should be completed by the auditing Airworthiness Inspector(s) including all recorded findings,
closure actions and recommendation. CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL
RECOMMENDATION REPORT” should be used for this activity.
Credit may be claimed by the Airworthiness Inspector(s) for specific item audits completed during
the preceding 23 month period subject to four conditions:
- the specific item audit should be the same as that required by Part M, Subpart G latest
amendment, and
- there should be satisfactory evidence on record that such specific item audits were carried out
and that all corrective actions have been taken, and
- the Airworthiness Inspector(s) should be satisfied that there is no reason to believe standards
have deteriorated in respect of those specific item audits being granted a back credit;
- the specific item audit being granted a back credit should be audited not later than 24 months
after the last audit of the item.
When performing the oversight of organizations that hold both Part M, Subpart F and Part M,
Subpart G approvals, CARC should arrange the audits to cover both approvals avoiding duplicated
visit of a particular area.
When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing non-compliance to the Part-M
requirement, CARC shall take the following actions:
- For level 1 findings, immediate action shall be taken by CARC/AWSD to revoke, limit or
suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding, the continuing
airworthiness management organization approval, until successful corrective action has been
taken by the organization.
- For level 2 findings, CARC/AWSD shall grant a corrective action period appropriate to the
nature of the finding that shall not be more than three months. In certain circumstances, at the
end of this first period, and subject to the nature of the finding CARC/AWSD can extend the
three month period subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan.
Action shall be taken by CARC/AWSD to suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure
to comply within the timescale granted by CARC.
If during aircraft surveys or by other means evidence is found showing noncompliance to Part-M
requirement, CARC shall take the following actions:
- for level 1 findings, CARC/AWSD shall require appropriate corrective action to be taken
before further flight and immediate action shall be taken to revoke or suspend the
airworthiness review certificate and subsequently the certificate of airworthiness.
In addition and in case of an aircraft registered in another State, CARC should inform the
owner/operator and the competent authority of the State of Registry of any potentially affected
aircraft in order that corrective action can be taken to ensure possible unsafe conditions on
these aircraft are corrected before further flight.
- for level 2 findings, the corrective action required by the CARC/AWSD shall be appropriate
to the nature of the finding.
If the root cause of the finding identifies a noncompliance with any Subpart or with another Part of
regulations, the noncompliance shall be dealt with as prescribed by the relevant Part.
6.6 Changes
Whereas, CARC shall monitor and control changes to the approved organization, the approved
continuing airworthiness management organization, in accordance with M.713 and before such
changes take place, shall notify CARC of any proposal to carry out any of changes specified
therein.
Depending on the nature and the extent of a proposed change, CARC will apply the applicable
elements of the initial approval process requirements for a change. CARC may prescribe conditions
under which the approved continuing airworthiness management organization may operate during
such change unless it determines that the approval should be suspended until a change is approved.
The assigned Airworthiness Inspector(s) will liaise with the organization and other CARC involved
department regarding the change approval process, any special conditions which may be applied
and also arrange for the accomplishment of any audit(s) required to establish compliance with Part
M requirements and ensure that:
- The relevant applicable parts of CARC Form 18-0305 “Part-M Subpart G Approval
Recommendation Report” are completed, including all recorded findings, closure actions
and recommendations;
- Letters of approval, certificates, etc. as may be required as part of the change are prepared
for distribution within CARC and to the organization concerned.
- Records are maintained of all correspondence, reports, etc and ensuring that these are
delivered to the technical library for filing.
CARC policy is such that all amendments to the CAME shall be assessed and approved by
CARC/AWSD.
Exposition status sheet is recommended to be maintained within the AWSD to control all
amendments to the CAME including:
- The assigned Inspector will review the proposed amendment and if necessary arrange for an
audit of the organization;
- When all Part M requirements are deemed satisfactory, the assigned Inspector will arrange
to formally advise the organization of the CAME amendment approval in writing;
- Records of correspondence, reports, etc. are delivered to the technical library for filing.
CARC/AWSD shall:
- suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat, or;
- suspend, revoke or limit an approval pursuant to Para. 6.5 provisions; when evidence is
found showing non-compliance to the Part-M requirement and in case of failure to comply
within the timescale granted by CARC for successful corrective action been taken by the
organization.
6.9 Records
CARC has established a record keeping system in relation to the continued oversight activities of
Part M approved organizations. This system provides for adequate traceability of the process to
issue, continue, change, suspend or revoke each certificate.
- A copy of the audit program listing the dates when audits are due and when audits were
carried out;
- Any report from other competent authorities relating to the oversight of the organization;
The minimum retention period for the above records shall be six years.
The minimum records retained for the oversight of each aircraft shall include, at least, a copy of:
The records specified above shall be retained until two years after the aircraft has been permanently
withdrawn from service. CARC primarily utilizes a hard copy record system, but a computerized
office administration system is used as an aid.
6.10 Exemptions
CARC may grant exemptions from requirements laid down in the JCAR Part M Regulation in the
event of unforeseen urgent operational circumstances or operational needs of a limited duration,
provided the level of safety is not adversely affected thereby.
Exemptions will be processed in accordance with Chapter 6 – Petitions of CEO Order 1-2013
(General Rule Making Procedures).
All exemptions granted in accordance with CEO Order 1-2013 General Rule Making, shall be

Subpart B
Issue of an Approval
7.5 Scope
This Subpart provides the requirements to issue or vary the maintenance training organization
approval.
7.6.1 General
CARC has applies the maintenance training organization approval procedure policy as it is
described herein. This policy is based on and satisfies the conditions and provisions of the Part-147
regulation. Furthermore, the intents of this policy are to assure standardization of procedures and
methods employed within CARC system.
The user guide is provided for guidance only and should be followed by each organization to
demonstrate how they comply with Part-147. It is the responsibility of the organization to
ensure compliance with the regulation.
7.6.2 Authority
Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission has designated the Airworthiness Standards Department as
the responsible Department for the Maintenance Training Organization approvals.
The following procedure is intended to ensure that CARC carries out the approval process in a
consistent and standard manner ensuring that the process is in accordance with the JCAR
regulations and related AMC & GM.
Once an applicant’s letter of intent has been submitted to CARC, the latter will schedule a pre -
application meeting. This meeting will take place at CARC’s premises and the applicant will be
given the «MTO Application Package Documents» in electronic which includes the following:
♦ Application Form (CARC Form 18-0012) as ameded
♦ Part-147 Conformance Document
♦ Management Personnel Acceptance Form (CARC Form 18-0285) as amended
♦ A list of the required Manuals/Documents for submission
A briefing is also given to the applicant during this meeting on the MTO certification process,
applicable regulation, including guidance on the completion of the application form and
conformance document. The Chief of the MTO Division, or his delegate, is the person responsible
to conduct and offer guidance at this pre-application meeting. The applicant should be represented
(at a minimum), by the Accountable Manager and the Training Manager.
It should also be explained to the Applicant at this time the need for an appropriate
person designated as the focal point for the company during the MTO certification process. One of
the functions of this person will be to assure that all the findings issued by CARC are directed to,
and properly addressed by the appropriate personnel within the company. It will be much more
efficient for the certification team to track the status of findings and comments through this person
rather than several persons responsible for specific areas. Another function of this company
coordinator will be to arrange the on-site visits and ensure that the appropriate company personnel
will be present and available.
During any meeting with the applicant minutes of meetings should be kept and recorded to the
relevant files.
CARC receives application as described below and determines if it is for Initial or Variation
Renewal of MTO Certificate.
For the initial issue of a Part-147 MTO Certificate, the applicant must submit the completed CARC
Form 18-0012 (shown in Annex 5) and CARC Form 18-0285.
Upon receipt of the application documentation, and prior to the Application Meeting, a
“Certification Team” is assigned to oversee the MTO certification process of the applicant by the
Airworthiness Standard Department Director.
The composition of the team will be two Airworthiness Inspectors (one Maintenance and one
Avionic). In any case, the knowledge, experience and background of the persons assigned will be
considered in the appointment of the team and matched to the complexity of the MTO activity.
In order for the Application to be considered officially submitted, the above CARC Forms must be
submitted along with all required Manuals/Documentation as described in detail in paragraph 7.6.6 .
If complete, the application will be attempted to be processed within 90 days. The 90 day period
will not commence until all the documentation has been submitted. The quality of the
documentation submitted will also have an effect on the 90 day period.
The Application Meeting, which officially starts the MTO certification process, should not be held
unless it is assured that all the documents required with the application will be completed and ready
to be officially submitted at least three days prior to the Application Meeting. The Application
Meeting should be cancelled and rescheduled if the application documentation is not complete as
stated.
The Application Meeting is only held if the appropriate personnel, as mentioned above, are present.
CARC's personnel in attendance will be the Chief of the MTO Division and the assigned
Certification Team. It is also desirable for the Airworthiness Standards Director to attend if
available.
The potential MTO Organization’s management personnel should submit the following:
♦ Completed CARC Form 18-0012 as amended.
♦ Completed CARC Form 18-0285 as amended.
♦ Maintenance Training Organization Exposition (MTOE) (Ref. Appendix I AMC 147)
♦ Part-147 Conformance Document
The qualifications of the Accountable Manager and the other Managers are described in detail as
follows:
I. Accountable Manager
He must have only the corporate authority of ensuring that all training commitments can be
financed and carried out according to Part-147.
The Training Manager could also be the Accountable Manager. The Training Manager must have:
a. Knowledge requirements
b. Experience requirements
a. Knowledge requirements
b. Experience requirements:
a. Knowledge requirements:
• Communication skills.
• Personal integrity.

• Aircraft Type Training (ATA 104 Level 3) on the A/C Type to be assessed.
• one year Aircraft Maintenance Experience.
A CARC Form 18-0285 is necessary for the Training Manager, Training Quality Manager,
Examination Manager and Examiners.
The Certification Team will evaluate the Part-147 Conformance Document. If the
Conformance Document needs further work, it should be returned to the MTO together
with the comments summary as an attachment to an Audit Finding Form.
The Certification Team will evaluate the MTO Organization’s MTOE in order to establish that it
complies with Part-147.140. The evaluation will be conducted in conjunction with the Part-147
Conformance Document to record queries, topics to be checked on audit and unsatisfactory items. If
the MTOE needs further work, it should be returned to the MTO together with the comments
summary as an attachment to an Audit Finding Form,
The MTOE must include the subject headings (as applicable) listed in Appendix I of the AMC and
reflect the preferred procedures. The CARC Inspector(s) is required to establish that the procedures
specified in the exposition are in compliance with the intent of Part-147 and then to establish if
these procedures are, actually, intended for use. Exposition approval will be accomplished when all
items identified in CARC Form 18-0022 Part 3, have been identified and evaluated as satisfactory.
Note:
CARC has established Guidance Procedure under No. AWS48 on Part-147 MTOE Checklist and
Guidance.
Manuals/Documentation submitted by the MTO applicant are checked by reviewing the completed
Part-147 Conformance Document that has been submitted. If any noncompliance’s are found and/or
if corrections are needed, the assigned Inspectors will notify in writing the Applicant of the non-
compliance’s and/or corrections. A copy of this notification letter should also be inserted in the
MTO’s Certification file appropriate section (correspondence). On the basis of the findings against
the MTOE, the MTO is responsible for the relevant corrective actions / modifications required by
CARC. The certification team members must properly track each item in order to ensure its
rectification. Any findings raised will be processed in accordance with para. 7.10 of this Manual. A
specific approval letter will be issued for the MTOE Manual.
During the on-site inspection phase the facilities, personnel, training and examinations procedures,
instructional equipment of the MTO organization are assessed for acceptability. The following steps
can be used as a general guideline:
♦ Determine the areas to be audited and who will do what.
♦ From the Conformance Document and MTOE pick specific items and subjects for the
Audit/schedule, the provisional number of days, plan travel arrangements (if applicable), etc.
♦ Notify the applicant of the start of the audit and request an opening meeting with the
attendance of the Accountable Manager.
To be produced in the standard format identifying both positive and negative features of
the organization.
Comments in the report can be subjective but any finding of non-compliance with the
requirement must be objective and supported by an audit finding attached as an appendix
to the report.
The report must be signed by the Team and endorsed by the CARC Chief Division
Airworthiness Division.
Note:
A comprehensive Team Report is required to be submitted only during the initial certification of an
MTO.
At this stage the following documents should be placed in the MTO’s Certification File:
Part-147 Conformance Document
Completed CARC Form 18-0022, Parts 2, 3 and 4 with the closure date endorsed as
'Before Approval' - see Annex 7
CARC Form 18-0012
CARC Form 18-0285
The MTO organization responds to findings (if applicable) and resubmits the Audit Finding
Form(s) with either the full corrective action described on the form or cross referenced as an
attachment. Certification Team evaluates the closures, where necessary, carrying out a follow-up
audit and closes the findings, completing also CARC / Form 18-0022, Part 4
Once the Certification Team is satisfied that all findings are closed for the applicable items, as
described above, they will prepare the Certification folder to be presented to the AWSD Director.
The following is a list of the Certification folder contents:
♦ Completion of the Documentation Check Sheet
♦ CARC Form 18-0012
♦ CARC Form 18-0285 and copy of acceptance letter
♦ MTOE approval letter and file record
♦ CARC Form 18-0022, Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
♦ Team Report and Audit Finding Closure documents
♦ Draft of letter to MTO forwarding CARC Form 18-0122
The Team Leader will present the Certification File to the Chief Division, or in his absence to the
Director of Airworthiness Standards, who will carry out the 'quality check'. This must include a
review of all documents and CARC Forms from the initial application through to the drafted CARC
Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug. 2016 Page 7-9 of 17
CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015
Form 18-0022. At this time the bi-annual provisional monitoring plan for the MTO is reviewed and
approved.
Following the Quality Check, the CARC CEO will sign and stamp the approval certificate and
associated letters and pass them back to the AWSD Director for processing. The maintenance
training organization approval certificate format shall be as detailed in Appendix II.
The completed Certification File is then placed in the allocated space in the library.
MTO organization, issued an approval in accordance with Part-147 wishing to alter any of the
elements listed below, must submit a CARC Form 18-0012 or an application in the form of a letter
to CARC.
A Part-147 approval variation application, received from the MTO, is required for any of the
following reasons:
Name or address (location) of the principal place of business of the MTO has changed.
The organization submits a new application as a matter of urgency stating that only the
name of the organization has changed including a copy of the organization exposition with
the new name. On receipt of the application and the organization exposition, CARC will
reissue the approval certificate valid only up to the current expiry date.
Any change(s) to the scope of approval (training/examination approval schedule) of the
MTO.
A change of accountable manager requires the maintenance training organization to submit
such fact to CARC as a matter of urgency together with the amendment to the Accountable
Manager exposition statement.
A change of any of the senior personnel specified in Part 147.105(b) or the examination staff
in 147.105 (e) requires the maintenance training organization to submit a Form 285 in respect
of the particular person to CARC. If satisfied that the qualifications and experience meet the
standard required by Part-147, CARC will indicate acceptance in writing to the maintenance
training organization.
A change in the maintenance training organization’s exposition requires CARC to establish
that the procedures specified in the exposition are in compliance with the intent of Part-147
and then to establish if these are the same procedures intended for use within the training
facility.
Any additional basic or aircraft type training courses requires the maintenance training
organization to make a new application to CARC together with the submission of an amended
exposition. For basic training extensions, an additional sample of new examination questions
relevant to the modules associated with the extension being sought will be required to be
submitted
CARC will follow the procedure of paragraph 7.6.6 in so far as the change affects such procedures
unless it is satisfied that the maintenance training organization has a well-controlled procedure to
qualify such change when it is not necessary to conduct a full audit.
Note:
A name change alone does not require CARC to audit the organization, unless there is evidence that
other aspects of the maintenance training organization have changed. The complete or partial re-
organization of a training organization will require the re-audit of those elements that have changed.
For this purpose the MTO should submit the affected manual(s)/Documentation for evaluation by
CARC. The Part-147 approval variation process follows the steps of the initial Part-147 approval as
described in para. 7.6.5.
Certain information received by the MTO applicant in support of his/her application shall be
entered in the AWSD System during the appropriate certification procedure steps. This information
includes, but is not limited to, MTO organization’s address, phone numbers, base location, Senior
Managers names, MTO scope of work, etc. In addition, all findings from the various certification
steps will also be entered into the computerized system for tracking and historical record purposes.
This information is kept up to date by including all subsequent changes (if any) to the Part-147
Approval
a. Each organization shall be completely audited for compliance with this Part-147 at periods
not exceeding 24 months. This shall include the monitoring of at least one training course and
one examination performed by the maintenance training organization.
b. Findings shall be processed in accordance with 147.130.
c. PART 147 AMTO organizations are audited by CARC at periods not exceeding 24 months to
ensure compliance with Part 147 requirements, as per 147.120(a).
d. CARC Part-147 inspections are scheduled regularly every year and are included in the AWSD
Audit plan in accordance with Guidance and Administrative Material 18-2511on the
Establishment of an Annual Surveillance Program For Airworthiness.
e. List of Records related to MTOE (Part 147) Approval and Oversight
7.9 Findings
(a) Failure to complete the rectification of any level 1 finding within three days of written
notification shall entail revocation, suspension or limitation by CARC, of the maintenance
training organization approval in whole or in part.
(b) Action shall be taken by CARC to revoke, limit or suspend in whole or part the approval in
case of failure to comply within the time scale granted in the case of a level 2 finding.
7.10.1 General
Audit Finding form(s) are used to record audit findings that result during an inspection. It is
important that this form is filled out completely.
7.10.2 Procedure
The Audit Finding form is to be filled out during the inspection so the Assigned Inspector
performing the inspection must have an adequate number of AF forms handy before the inspection
begins.
For Findings showing non-compliance to the specific inspection requirements, CARC/ AWSD
shall take the following actions:
For Level 1 findings, immediate action shall be taken to revoke, limit or suspend in
whole or in part, depending upon the extent of Level 1 finding, the maintenance training
organization approval, until successful corrective action has been taken by the organization.
Level 2: Level 2 finding is any non-compliance with Part 147 requirements which could lower the
safety standard and possibly hazard the flight safety. For the Level 2 findings, the responsible
Inspector shall grant a corrective action period appropriate to the nature
of the finding that shall not be more than three (3) months. In certain circumstances, at the end of
this first period and subject to the nature of the finding, the three month period may be extended,
subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan.
Subpart C
7.11 Revocation, suspension and limitation of the maintenance training organization approval
CARC shall:
(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat; or
(b) suspend, revoke or limit an approval pursuant to 147.130.

provisions if necessary.
Note:
CARC has established Guidance Procedure under No. AWS 47 on Type rating training Course
Approval other than those conducted by a Part-147 approved maintenance training organization.
Subpart F
There is a need for CARC to accept ATOs that are located outside the Hashemite Kingdom of
Jordan. This approach is driven by cost considerations or simply because the national market
does not support certain types of specialized aviation training locally. However, there is no
difference between the approval of training organizations based in Jordan and those based in
another Contracting State. The principles and procedures that are described in both ICAO
Annex 1 and the Manual on the Approval of training Organizations (ICAO Doc 9841) fully
apply to foreign-based ATOs.
In practice, there are difficulties linked to the fact that Jordan may not have the necessary means
to ensure proper oversight of ATOs located abroad. To overcome these difficulties, Jordan has
found it convenient to rely on the approval and oversight system of the host State to issue the
acceptance by accepting the approval given by another State to fully understand the conditions
and the regulatory basis of the original approval. This may lead to the establishment of
supplementary conditions.
Note:
CARC has established Guidance procedure under No. AWS 45 on Foreign Part 147
Acceptance/ Type Training as a User Guide for Applicants.
This procedure is intended to assist the aviation industry in Jordan and the foreign maintenance
training organizations /Type Training to process the applications for obtaining CARC
acceptance for a foreign maintenance training organization/Type training organization of the
approval issued by the foreign authority.
Part 8
Permit to Fly
This procedure describes how CARC will handle issuance, renewal and continued validity of the
Permit to Fly in respect of aircraft already registered on Jordanian civil aircraft register.
A Permit to Fly is generally issued when a certificate of airworthiness is temporarily invalid, e.g. as
a result of a damage, or when a certificate of airworthiness cannot be issued since that aircraft does
not meet, or has not been shown to meet, the applicable airworthiness requirements but the aircraft
is capable of performing a safe flight under a defined conditions and restrictions.
An application for a Permit to fly shall be made in a form and manner established by CARC and
shall include the following:
The technical investigations for the approval of flight conditions and the issuance of flight permit
will vary depending on the established flight conditions as related to the safety of the design or not
related to the safety of design, as well as, the purpose of the permit.
Whenever, an application is received by CARC/AWSD, the application will be forwarded to the
Chief Division, who will then assign Airworthiness Inspector or a team of Inspectors, as
appropriate, to initiate the technical investigation on which CARC/AWSD will base its decision to
issue, to amend or to refuse the issuance of the Permit to Fly and the approval of the proposed flight
conditions or changes thereto.
1) All required forms are properly completed, signed and submitted by the applicant,
2) The proposed night conditions against the substantial documentations provided by the
applicant are appropriate,
3) The aircraft and its airworthiness records to ensure that the aircraft is capable of safe flight
under the specified conditions and restrictions,
If the application cannot be accepted due to just cause or any of information or requirement is
missing, the applicant will be informed in writing, by means of a formal letter agreed upon with
Chief Division and authorized by Director AWS of the decision of rejection or in order to:
When the review and the assessment are completed, the assigned Inspector (s) in coordination with
the Chief Division will make determination if a consultation is needed with FOSD concerning the
established flight conditions/Restrictions. If FOSD finds that additional conditions are necessary to
be established and/or the established conditions are to be amended to ensure the aircraft is capable
of safe flight, AWSD will instruct the applicant to do so.
When the application is found to be satisfactory, the flight conditions and the associated permit to
fly will be approved and issued by CARC:
1) the assigned inspector or team of inspectors issue the "Statement of Technical Satisfaction",
complete CARC forms as appropriate. prepare the certificate and the covering letter to the
applicant,
2) Chief Division makes the final review, endorse the "Statement of Technical Satisfaction"
and make sure that all CARC forms are properly completed and signed,
3) The assigned inspector make sure that:
8.5 Coordination process with CARC Air Clearances concerning issuance of a landing/or
over flight permit to a foreign registered aircraft with a Permit to Fly issued by that State
Whenever an application is submitted to CARC Air Clearances for a landing permit in Jordanian
Airports or over flight Jordanian Territories with a foreign registered aircraft issued a Permit to Fly
by that State, the application should be coordinated with Airworthiness Standards Department
(AWSD), Air Clearances shall request the applicant to submit the following documentations:
Before granting an authorization for such flight, Air Clearances submit the documentations in items
1 through 6 to AWSD for review.
AWSD conducts a technical review to establish that the aircraft is capable of safe flight under the
issued Permit to Fly and the approved Fight Conditions and Limitations, and may request the
applicant to submit additional justifications and substantiations to make this conclusion .
Additionally, AWSD may impose additional flight conditions and Limitations, as considered
necessary, on such flight, which if established, shall form part of the flight authorization that will
then be issued by the Air Clearances for that applicant.
When AWSD completes its review and finds that the elements 1 through 6 of the application are
appropriate and satisfactory, AWSD will issue a "Statement of Technical Satisfaction", this
statement will be sent to the Air Clearances with, as applicable, any established additional flight
conditions and limitations, who will then issue a special flight authorization for such flight. A copy
of the issued authorization shall be sent to AWSD for records.

Subpart C
Examinations
9.24 General
This Subpart provides the procedures to be followed for the examinations conducted by CARC.
I. General
Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention broadly outlines the subjects of which applicants shall
demonstrate appropriate knowledge. In general and in accordance with ICAO Annex 1,
applicants for aircraft maintenance personnel licences must demonstrate knowledge in five
subjects.
Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention requires that all applicants for licences shall
demonstrate an appropriate level of knowledge and skill and meet certain experience
requirements For example, the Basic knowledge for categories A, B1 and B2 are indicated
by the allocation of knowledge levels indicators (1, 2 or 3) against each applicable subject.
Category C applicants must meet either the category B1 or category B2 basic knowledge
levels.
Basic Examinations questions have been developed by an external contractor in
accordance with a signed contract and provided to CARC , CARC Airworthiness
Inspectors review, revise, correct and update the questions periodically.
The rapid increase in technology requires constant updating of staff knowledge. For
effective and fast integration of this knowledge, an effective examination data base and
examining system by computer is needed.
Computerised based examinations allow CARC to use advanced elements and methods
to check the applicants. Especially in the area of technical training and examination
graphic elements and vivid representations instead of pure text.
The use of multi-media elements and good database architecture will raise the quality of
the questions and the examinations.
II. Control-Software
In order to administrate the question bank also a program is needed. The main tasks are to
support the question design and the question management. It also must provide
examination pattern for written examinations and for computer based examinations. It
must not have any functionality to run an examination or to control the applicants’ license
data.

Part 10
Certification of products, parts and appliances
(Refer to TC/STC Process Flowchart in Annex 4)
10.1 General
Application for the approval of a product or appliance must be submitted to the CEO/Chief
Commissioner by using Form 18-0232 “Application for Type Certificate, Change to Type
Certificate, or Supplemental Type Certificate” attached with a formal application letter. The
application must include the name and address of the applicant, together with a brief description
including a 3-view drawing, basic data, proposed characteristics and performance and the proposed
Certification Specifications (CS) of the product or appliance in question, and the type of approval
requested. Also, proposed environmental and emission protection levels should be included in the
application. A time schedule should be included.
A written acknowledgement of receipt of the application shall be sent to the applicant within twenty
(20) working days following the receipt of the application by CARC.
In case the application is not complete or incorrect the applicant will be given one (1) month but not
more than three (3) months period for delivering the required information. If decision is to be taken
that the application cannot be accepted, CARC shall notify the applicant with reasons and shall
show good cause why it was decided to return the application without acceptance.
Any fees paid under the “Fees and Charges Regulation” are non-refundable.
Upon acceptance by CARC, the applicant will be informed within two (2) month after receipt of the
correct application of the following:
In order to establish an appropriate Certification Team the extension and complexity of the work to
accomplish need to be estimated, either by studying the contents of the application for simple
projects or by an initial briefing by the applicant for the more complex projects. The Certification
Team should comprise the disciplines required for the tasks to accomplish and may consist of staff
of CARC and/or staff contracted from Foreign Civil Aviation Authorities or qualified Consultancy
Offices. In case of using contracted certification experts, the following selection criteria shall apply,
in order of importance:
a) Qualification
b) Experience
c) Availability
d) Costs
The composition and size of Certification Teams can vary and is dependent on the product to be
certified.
The product approval process is distinguished in work related to the issuance of the basic Type
Certificate (Pre-TC phase) and work related to an already approved product, but being altered or
modified (Post TC phase), such as an alternative engine installation, fuselage stretch, various
approved modifications and options, etc.
All subjects for which the PCM deems it necessary to record (normally on the recommendation of
specialists) will be recorded in a Certification Review Item (CRI). Such a CRI will further assist the
PCM to control the debate between the members of Certification Team and the applicant until an
agreed conclusion about the certification subject has been reached. CRI’s are also used to record the
Type Certification Basis, and the agreement of the applicant thereof, any additional requirements
such as environmental protection requirements, and any subject dealt with within a specialist
discipline for the settlement of for example guidance material, acceptable means of compliance or
Special Conditions, which will then be referenced in the Type Certification Basis.
For the Type Certification Basis, CRI A-1 is exclusively reserved. All other numbering
identification system for the CRI’s should be included in the PCM Project Information Document.
CARC Certification Team needs to receive thorough technical briefings by the applicant on all
aspects known at that stage, to fully understand the design, including new technologies, and any
unique or unconventional features or intended unconventional use of the product. This technical
information on the design features should be used by the team to determine the adequacy of the
applicable CS, and where necessary propose specific Special Conditions as referenced in JCAR
21.16B.
Based on the initial findings and recommendations of the Certification Team, the PCM shall draft
the initial Type Certification Basis.
Therefore the initial Type Certification Basis will include the following sections:
Phase I is to be concluded by the issue of CRI A-1 detailing the initial Type Certification Basis.
After receipt of the applicant’s proposed certification program, the certification team shall discuss
and agree with the applicant the certification program, which shall define the proposed means of
compliance with the Certification Basis, and identifies the team involvement for compliance
All documents required to show compliance with the applicable requirements and their scheduled
date of availability shall be referenced in the Certification Program.
When defining the involvement of the team, full use should be made of the applicant’s DOA
privileges granted under JCAR 21.263(b). Particularly all compliance documents which the
applicant can approve under its DOA without further verification by the team shall be agreed with
the applicant.
The PCM (on the recommendation of specialists) shall indicate his concurrence with the agreed
program in writing. The Certification Program will be recorded in a CRI.
The task of showing compliance with the certification basis is the responsibility of the applicant.
The applicant will also record and produce the following:
The acceptance of the compliance demonstrations is the responsibility of the certification team.
On completion of the certification program, the applicant shall provide a Declaration of Compliance
that the type design of the product having been type certificated, complies with the Type
Certification Basis as recorded in CRI A-1.
The team members will issue a Statement of satisfaction to the PCM on the basis of the applicant’s
compliance declaration of the discipline involved.
When the PCM has accepted all necessary Statements of Satisfaction from the team, the PCM shall
issue a compliance statement to the Director Airworthiness (DA) confirming that the type design of
the product complies with the certification basis as recorded in CRI A-1.
The PCM shall produce in conjunction with the team a report which will record the type design on
which the type investigation process was based, including a description of all CRI’s related to the
certification basis, e.g. Special Conditions, Equivalent Safety Findings, Alternative Interpretations,
etc. Also, the significant subjects investigated by the team and the details and outcome of these
investigations will be a subject, including the process of investigation, with the certification
program and the conclusions regarding the compliance to the certification basis.
After approval of the final report, the PCM shall draft the CARC Type Certificate for the product
certified. After ensuring that all necessary steps for the administrative and financial project closures
are performed, the Type Certificate shall be issued and send to the applicant.
A Type Certificate Data Sheet shall form part of the CARC TC and is to be drafted on the basis of
the Type Certification Basis and the Type Design information of the certificate holder. The format
of the TCDS shall concur with the ICAO format (see example in Annex 2).
Publication on the CARC website of the TC and the TCDS shall follow, as practical, immediately
after issue.
10.3.1.4.4 Acceptance of an imported Aircraft, Related Products, Parts and Appliances and
Data for Changes and Repairs
Acceptance of an imported Aircraft, Related Products, Parts and Appliances and Data for Changes
and Repairs is processed in accordance with the Guidance Procedure AWS 01.
After the initial (pre) TC phase, the particular knowledge of the subject product as gained by the
PCM and the certification team must be ensured, in order to handle after the Type Certification
subjects related to continued airworthiness, type design changes and repairs.
Type design changes may be applied for by the TC holder or a non-TC Holder. Under JCAR 21.93,
changes must be classified by the assigned PCM and the relevant certification team as minor or
major.
Minor changes by the TC holder may be approved under the privileges of the TC-holder’s DOA, or
else by CARC. Major changes applied for by the TC-Holder must be approved by CARC using the
assigned PCM and the relevant certification team in place for matters concerning the subject
product. Major changes applied for by a non-TC-holder must be applied for as a Supplemental Type
Certificate, in compliance with the requirements of Part 21 Subpart E. For the approval of such a
STC, it is preferred that the assigned PCM and the relevant certification team are used.
10.3.2.4 Repairs
Repairs must be classified as minor or major in accordance with the requirements of JCAR 21.435
by CARC or by an organization with an appropriate DOA approval.
Major repairs applied for by the TC holder may be approved by CARC or by the TC-holder under
its appropriate DOA approval.
If applied for by a non TC Holder, the major repair must be approved by CARC.
Minor repairs may be approved by the applicant under its appropriate DOA approval, or else by
CARC.
Preferably, in all cases the assigned PCM and the relevant certification team in place for the TC of
the subject product should be used.
10.4.1 General
A JTSO Authorization is an approval of CARC for the design and production of an article, i.e. a
part or an appliance (for example: a passenger seat unit, a galley appliance, an avionics suite, etc.)
for which it has been shown that it meets the particular certification specifications. Such article is
that allowed to be used for the installation in a civil aircraft, without further investigation. The
holder of a JTSO Authorization must report to CARC any failure, malfunction, defect or other
occurrence of which it has been made aware and must be capable of investigating such occurrence
and propose resolutions and corrective actions to CARC for acceptance.
Note: This paragraph 10.4 describes only the process to obtain the design approval for an article
under existing TSO specifications and as such recognized by CARC. Jordan will normally only
accept TSO articles conforming to the certification specifications as published by EASA (CS-
ETSO).
10.4.2 Application
Any person or legal entity whose principal place of business is within Jordan may apply for a JTSO
Authorization (JTSOA) not being an Auxiliary Power Unit, provided the applicant uses an approved
set of procedures for the design of the article in accordance with the particular TSO specification.
For producing the article under a JTSOA, the applicant must hold an appropriate Production
Organization Approval (see section 12 of this Handbook). Applicants seeking an approval of an
APU under a JTSOA, must hold a DOA (see section 11 of this Handbook).
Investigation of the design of the article, for which an application for a JTSO Authorization
(JTSOA) has been received, will be made by the CARC Airworthiness Standards Department, when
the application has been accepted by the DA. The designated PCM will propose a team to the DA
and after acceptance; the team will investigate the design, ensuring that the applicant has submitted
the following documentation:
The Declaration of Design and Performance, issued by the applicant, must contain at least the
following information:
- Information on the identity of the article and its design and testing standards;
- The rated performance of the article;
- A statement of compliance that the article has met the appropriate TSO standards;
- Reference to relevant test reports; and
- References to the appropriate maintenance, overhaul, and repair manuals.
When the investigation has been completed in accordance with this Handbook and compliance with
all applicable requirements has been demonstrated, the PCM will submit a final report including the
DDP of the applicant to the DA. When accepted, CARC will issue a JTSOA and publish the
relevant JTSOA and description on CARC website.
The holder of a JTSO Authorization may submit minor design changes for approval under the
existing JTSOA. CARC will perform the classification of the change in accordance with this
handbook, JCAR Part 21 and related AMC, or by the holder of the JTSOA if it holds an appropriate
DOA.
All other changes not classified as minor are major and must be submitted as an application for a
new JTSOA.
CARC is responsible for the initiation and promulgation of mandatory corrective actions (AD’s),
including the interval of compliance to such AD’s, to any occurrence reported by the holder of a
JTSOA. Such AD’s must be communicated by CARC to all Foreign Authorities having a product
with such a JTSO on their register.
The holder of a JTSOA must have in place an effective system for the creation and dissemination of
Service Bulletins with any relevant information for the article under the JTSO specification for the
relevant maintenance, overhaul and repair data.
10.4.5.4 Repairs
Repairs not contained in the approved Repair Manual will be handled by CARC as design changes.
When an application is made for a TC, the applicant not holding an appropriate DOA must also
apply for such DOA. CARC need to include in the team that approves the DOA (the DOA team) at
least a member experienced in type certification processes.
A member of the (POA team) shall participate in the type certification team to ensure the interface
with certification and evaluate the maintenance documentation
The applicant for an aircraft TC is responsible for the installation of the engine/propeller on the
aircraft and must show compliance to installation requirements in the applicable CS. The
engine/propeller manufacturer is expected to support the aircraft TC applicant in this process.
10.5.3 Operations
If the applicant for an aircraft TC requests to establish an operations evaluation board (OEB), the
DA shall liaise with the Operations Standards Department of CARC who will ensure that an OEB is
formed with appropriate representation covering airworthiness, operational and licensing aspects.
The PCM shall ensure appropriate representation on the OEB from the certification team.
10.5.4 Maintenance
In the type certification process and other design approvals the applicant shall furnish instructions
for continued airworthiness in accordance with the appropriate section of the CS. These instructions
shall comprise the approved airworthiness limitation section containing Certification Maintenance
Requirements (CMRs). All airworthiness limitations and CMR’s shall be reviewed and accepted by
the certification team to ensure compliance with the certification basis.
For new transport category aircraft or new variants of such with a MTOM exceeding 13000kg, the
DA will request the Airworthiness Inspection Division to set up a Maintenance Review Board
(MRB).
For transport category aircraft with a MTOM between 5700 and 13000 kg, the TC applicant may
ask for a MRB on a voluntary basis.
For aircraft with a MTOM of less than 5700 kg, a MRB is normally not required.
CARC issues Type Certificates and the associated Type Certification Data Sheet (TCDS) based on
the principles of ICAO annex 8, the requirements of JCAR Part 21, Subpart B and the related AMC,
and within the context of the Civil Aviation Law.
A Type Certificate will be issued after the successful completion of the certification or validation
process. The filing of the application is a condition to the start of such a process. The Type
Certificate is a document, considered to include besides the name of the certificate holder also the
type design, the operating limitations, the TCDS for airworthiness and emissions requirements,
including the applicable type-certification basis and environmental protection requirements with
which CARC records compliance, and any other conditions or limitations prescribed for the product
in the applicable certification specifications and environmental protection requirements. Each TC is
uniquely numbered, and the Documentation filing Officer will maintain a public record of all TC’s
issued by CARC with the associated TCDS. The TC must be returned by the TC Holder to CARC
after the surrender, suspension or revocation of the TC.
10.6.3 Responsibilities
The DA is responsible for the execution of the procedure of the type certification and the
appointment of the certification team. The PCM is responsible for the contents of the TC and TCDS
and ensures that the certification process is carried out in accordance with the applicable
requirements of JCAR Part 21, Subpart B as reflected in this Handbook.
The procedure which describes how CARC will handle initial applications, renewals and continued
surveillance of the Certificates of Airworthiness issued in respect of aircraft on the Jordanian civil
aircraft register is established in Part 4 of this Handbook.
A TC, STC or JTSOA can be suspended or revoked by the Commissioner, on the recommendation
of the DA. This will be the case when the holder of a TC/STC or JTSOA submits the certificate to
the Chief Commissioner, or when the Chief Commissioner determines, that the holder can no longer
fulfill the obligations and duties relating to keeping the product in continuous compliance with the
airworthiness requirements, including continued airworthiness. If the holder of a TC/STC or
JTSOA has failed to comply with the duties relating to keeping the product in continuous
compliance with the airworthiness requirements, the holder will be given a three (3) months period
to rectify the situation. Meanwhile a suspension can be called for when the Chief Commissioner
regards the non-compliance by the certificate holder as temporary.
A suspension or revocation shall be published on the website of CARC and ultimately in the Jordan
Government Gazette, and shall be communicated to all Foreign Authorities known to have the
relevant product on their register, or installed in aircraft on their register.
In the case of revocation, the number used for the identification of that certificate shall not be used
again for a later or different certificate.

acceptance of the scope of work by the DA, the POA certificate for application under JCAR Part 21
subpart G, or the Letter of Agreement for application under Part 21 subpart F will be signed by the
CEO/Chief Commissioner. The certificate or Letter will be sent to the applicant.
Note: The certificate under JCAR Part 21 subpart G is valid for 24 calendar months, as long as
CARC has determined during continued surveillance that the provisions for approval are still in
compliance. The Letter of Agreement under JCAR Part 21 subpart F is valid only for one (1) year
and shall be returned to CARC after revocation, expiry or when surrendered. A new application
under subpart F must be made in such case, if production is to be continued requiring a production
organization approval.
Only POA approvals under JCAR Part 21 subpart G are eligible for application of change. Changes
for production organization approval under subpart F require a new application under that subpart.
The request for change of a POA approval under subpart G must be submitted by the approval
holder and will be classified by CARC under JCAR Part 21.A.147 and associated AMC and GM. If
found significant, application must be made to CARC, DA and Chief Division will then initiate an
investigation by the POA team in order to verify compliance with JCAR Part 21. The investigation
must be concluded with a final report with, if relevant, an updated scope of approval.
Changes not found to be significant will be dealt with during the process of continued surveillance.
The POA team leader is responsible for the management of the POA surveillance activities and for
POA approvals under subpart G, in order to ensure continuing compliance with JCAR Part 21, will:
Produce each year a program defining the surveillance activities of the coming year. The
first program shall be included in the final report. Each subsequent year, the annual
surveillance report of that year will contain the program for the next year. Programs shall be

record which JCAR Part 21 requirements have been evaluated for continued compliance;
and
determine which surveillance activities will be performed by the team.
The tools to be used in the surveillance activities by the POA Team include:
formal regular review as needed to discuss specific points and to follow identified actions;
the reporting system of the POA holder and the subjects and results thereof;
specific analyses, based on anomalies seen through day-to-day working experience of
CARC approval processes, or reports from Foreign Authorities on anomalies in
airworthiness issues having a relationship with the production organization; and
audits to verify compliance with applicable requirements.
The annual surveillance report shall be submitted to the Chief Division for approval.
For approvals under JCAR Part 21 subpart F, the team leader will initiate reviews if deemed
necessary during the period of validity of the Letter of Agreement.
When the POA team leader has found evidence showing non-compliance with JCAR Part 21 by the
POA holder, these non-compliances shall be classified in accordance with JCAR Part 21.A.158 by
the team.
A level one finding shall be immediately notified to the POA holder or the agreement holder and
shall be confirmed by the DA/or Chief Division in writing within three (3) working days after
classification.
A level two finding shall be confirmed in writing by the DA/or Chief Division/ or team leader to the
POA approval or agreement holder within fourteen (14) working days after classification.
A level three finding shall be identified to the POA holder or agreement holder in an audit report,
meeting report or by letter, as appropriate.
Level one and two findings shall be the subject of immediate actions of limitation, suspension or
revocation of the POA certificate or letter of agreement by CARC.
If the POA certificate issued under JCAR Part 21 subpart G or F becomes invalid under JCAR Part
21 or when the POA holder fails to comply with CARC fees and charges, the certificate shall be
limited, suspended or revoked by CARC.
When a level one or two finding has been made, the DA, through appropriate administrative
channels of CARC, shall partly or fully limit, suspend or revoke a POA certificate as follows:
In case of a level one finding, the POA Team leader shall immediately propose to the Chief
Division to limit or suspend the POA approval, relative to the scope of approval relating to the level
one finding, with immediate action, subsequently, these will be reported to DA and approved by the
CEO/Chief Commissioner. If the POA holder fails to comply with JCAR Part 21.A.158(c)(1) the
certificate shall be revoked.
In case of a level 2 finding, the team leader shall make proposals to the Chief Division for
restrictions of scope of approval by temporary suspension of the production organization approval
or parts thereof, subsequently, these will be reported to DA and approved by the CEO/Chief
Commissioner. If the POA holder fails to comply with JCAR Part 21.A.158(c)(2) the certificate
shall be revoked.
The DA shall notify the POA approval holder in writing of these limitations, suspensions or
revocation, including the reasons thereof.
Part 13
Airworthiness Procedures, for the approval of leases among commercial air transport
operators
13.1 Introduction
Aircraft may be leased in or leased out, provided it can be shown that the aircraft conforms to OPS
and Continuing airworthiness and aircraft maintenance requirements as described in JCAR OPS
1.165.
The Convention on International Civil Aviation allocates certain safety oversight functions to the
State of Registry as described in:
13.2 Purpose
The purpose of developing airworthiness related procedures for the approval of leases among
commercial air transport operators as they relate to airworthiness for the type of leases (dry, wet or
damp) is the determination of the responsibility for the signing of the maintenance release and the
airworthiness of the aircraft in conformity with the requirements of the continuing airworthiness and
aircraft maintenance performance requirements.
13.3 Applicability
The Dry lease case is the most common case that agreement under the provisions of Article 83 bis
may be needed. In each case the necessity of establishment of the agreement should be evaluated. It
is essential to understand that the preparation of the agreement takes some time and also upon
termination of the agreement some actions could be required in order to establish full control of the
State of Registry upon the aircraft.
13.4 Terminology
After completion of the form, a copy of it with signed memo shall be forwarded to Operations
Standards Department in order to complete the applicable Lease Agreement Application Form.
The following Instructions, to complete the Airworthiness Evaluation Checklist for the approval of
leases among commercial air transport operators as they relate to airworthiness, are:
A. Type of Lease (self-explanatory)
B. Applicant contact leasing details
1. AOC Name, Contact person email and Phone of Jordanian Operator as primary point of
contact for leasing.
2. State of Operator & contact details NAA to initiate leasing that involve foreign
aircraft/operator.
3. State of Registry (if different from the State of Operator) (contact details NAA).
4. Name and contact of the Lessee (lease-out) or Lessor
(lease-in).
E. Assessment Status
All assessment status shall be with Yes answer for positive recommendation, otherwise AWI
remark shall be noted and justified in block G.
Part 14
Forms
14.1 Forms
Forms are available in soft copy at AWSD server, and on CARC website. Forms are controlled in
accordance with the CARC Document Control (Doc. No. 25 QP-02), and detailed in CARC Order
18-7001, as amended.
Airworthiness inspector is to use appropriate and current forms in accordance with Doc. No. 25 QP-
02., as amended.
Annex 1
CRI Procedure
Certification Review Items (CRIs) provide a simple, structured means of accomplishing several
necessary steps in the type certification process.
a) They provide a simple means for describing and tracking the resolution of significant or
controversial regulatory and associated technical policies and means of compliance, major
technical or administrative issues occurring throughout a program. By focusing on the
regulatory compliance issues, they enable the project team and Applicant management to
grasp and track the essential issues as they are identified and studied by all parties. They are
valuable tools for keeping the relevant parties both informed and involved in timely actions.
b) CRIs form a valuable reference for future type certification program, and for development of
regulatory changes. By describing significant or precedent setting technical decisions and
the rationales employed, they are ideal source documents.
c) The Certification Team will work closely with the Applicant for the earliest practicable
identification of CRI issues that may require special emphasis for resolution. This step will
usually require more detailed technical discussions, correspondence, review of design data
and hardware, etc. The Applicant should be encouraged to surface questions or issues that
may require time or special study for resolution so that all CRI issues can be identified as
soon as practicable and do not become surprises at a later time.
d) The Applicant should be advised that routine items relative to showing compliance and
work relationships will not normally be raised as "CRIs" unless some special problems are
anticipated or develop during the course of the program. Routine items will be handled with
the Applicant by the Team with decisions and actions documented in correspondence, data
submittals, and file records of meetings, conversations and events.
e) First priority should be placed on the identification, rather than the resolution of CRI issues.
Issues relating to the Certification Basis including Special Conditions need to be identified
as soon as possible in the program to enable the project milestones to be met. It is not
expected that significant technical issues would be resolved at the initial meeting with the
Team, although some such issues may become apparent during the discussions.
2. CRI Issues
j) For non-Jordanian products, identification and administration of the differences between the
Jordan Type Certification Basis and the Exporting Authority Certification Basis (Note: this
shall be processed and administered in accordance with GP AWS 02 Aircraft Type
Acceptance Certification)
3. CRI Development
For an overview of the CRI development process, see the flow chart (Figure B).
Every effort will be made to identify CRIs during the establishment of the Certification Basis,
however:
a) CRIs may be proposed to the PCM at any time during the process prior to the Type
Certification.
b) The CRI format and instructions are provided in detail in Section 5 below.
c) Draft CRIs will be developed by either the Team members, the PCM or the Applicant for
each significant issue as early in the program as practicable.
d) CRIs are primarily intended to provide Team/PCM and the Applicant with an overview of
significant issues, to provide a means of determining the status of these issues, and to
provide a post certification summary statement on how significant issues were resolved and
general reference on future projects that might encounter similar situations.
e) For non-Jordanian products the CRIs, if applicable, will be coordinated with the Exporting
Authority.
f) CRIs recording the Type Certification Basis, Special Conditions, Exemptions, Equivalent
Safety Findings or alternative means of compliance need the approval of the responsible
PCM, who may involve the panel of experts.
Each CRI at Issue 1 must include at least the "Statement of Issue" (see Paragraph 5.10 below)
before it is presented to the Applicant by the PCM. Some "Discussion" and even a tentative
"Position" may be provided to further clarify the issue. However, the major emphasis at Issue 1 of
each CRI should be to raise the issue to the PCM and Applicant's management attention as early as
practicable, providing a concise "Statement of Issue" that is clearly understood by all parties
concerned with the resolution.
a) The PCM will maintain a CRI Status Summary document. This document will contain a list
of all CRIs, the Issue No, Date, Subject Summary, Action, Target Closure Date and Status.
b) Updating of the Status Summary will occur on an "as needed" basis, as individual CRIs are
advanced in Issues.
c) Each revision of the CRI Status Summary will be circulated by the PCM to a standard
distribution list comprising the Applicant, all Team members, the PCM, and as applicable
the Exporting Authority
5. CRI Format
The format to be used in drafting CRIs is shown in Figure A. Instructions for completing the CRI
format are provided below, using the same Paragraph numbers as indicated on Figure A.
(2) List relevant regulation(s), including any Special Condition(s) issued on the model;
Examples: CS-25.1309; or
Special Condition D-3
(5) Alphanumeric issue identifier, e.g. A-1, D-2, F-5 etc. The first digit is an alphabetic
identification of the technical area of prime concern using:
Administrative:
For Aircraft:
B-xx Flight
C-xx Structures
D-xx Design & Construction
E-xx Powerplant
F-xx Equipment
G-xx Operating Limitations and Information including AFM
J-xx APU
K-xx AWO
M-xx MMEL
N-xx Noise and Emissions
O-xx Operational Items
T-xx Technical
(6) It is expected that most issues will be resolved in a number of phases identified by the
Issue number. The CRI will be revised by Team members to indicate significant progress,
and the Issue number will be raised for each such revision. The last Issue is when the CRI
is revised to summarize the resolution of the issue, including final Applicant and Jordanian
positions, the conclusion, and change of the CRI Status to "closed".
(8) The CRI Status will indicate the status of issue resolution, i.e. "OPEN" or "CLOSED".
The status "OPEN" or "CLOSED" DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE
COMPLIANCE STATUS. The CRI Status will remain "OPEN" until final action has been
completed.
(9) The "Next Action By" identifies the person(s) or body responsible for the next action in
progressing the closure of the CRI (e.g. PCM, Team, Applicant, etc.).
(10) The "Statement of Issue" is probably the most important part of the paper. The first and
most important step in resolving any significant issue is to formulate the issue in a clear,
short, and concise statement that is understood by all concerned.
Example:
(11) When a CRI is first developed, the PCM should agree a closure target date with the
Applicant. Any change in this target date must be negotiated between the PCM and
Applicant.
(12) Provide a summary discussion of the issue. This may be broken down to:-
(b) CARC Position Statement to explain the concerns, opinions and arguments etc.
The discussion statement may be as long as necessary to document the background behind an issue
and to present both sides of the issue (if controversial); however, every effort should be made to
keep it as concise as possible without compromising understanding for resolution. Reference to
letters or other documents may be necessary to cover details.
At each subsequent Issue, the text from previous editions will normally be retained so that reference
back to previous Issues is not necessary to understand the status of resolution. The purpose of the
discussion statements is to provide an understanding of the issue and the most current position of all
parties, on its resolution and the path leading to the resolution.
(13) When a decision on how to resolve an issue has been reached, this decision will be
documented by the PCM in the "conclusion" statement. In some cases tentative conclusions
may be stated in advance of a final agreed position.
