Introduction

Background: EASA Part M is part of the Continuing Airworthiness Regulation (EU No 1321/2014) which involves continuing airworthiness of the aircraft, its parts and  persons/organisations involved.

Scope of Part M:

Aircraft (responsibilities of owner)

• Continuing airworthiness
• Certificate of Airworthiness
• Airworthiness Review Certificate
• Maintenance programme

Persons / Organisations

• Performance of Maintenance
• Continuing airworthiness management

However, Regulation EU 1321/2014 will be-restructured.

The new structure and the proposed regulations will be covered during this course

Why this course?

This course is needed:

• To make organisations (CAMO’s) aware of the new rules.
• To help them to prepare themselves to be ready when the rules are amended.
• To get an overview of what the impact of the changes are.
• To make Sub-F organisations aware of the amendments.
• To make owners and operators of non-complex aircraft and other than licenced aircraft operators aware of the options: Part-CAMO, Part-ML and / or Part-CAO.
• To make all CAMO aware of the SMS and new occurance reporting requirement which is going to be mandated.
• To create a starting point how SMS should be introduced within CAMO.

Part-CAMO is applicable for:

Aircraft used by licensed air carriers and Complex A/C:

• Part-CAMO will supersede current Subpart-G of Annex I (Part-M)
• Part-CAMO includes provision for SMS.

 

Operators of aircraft other than licensed air carriers and other than complex aircraft can choose to operate within Part-CAMO, Part-CAO or according to Part-ML.

General Aviation (GA) wil get its own regulation à Part-ML (Light), also there will be a combinded regulation for GA. This includes CAMO and maintenance for the GA toghether à Part-CAO.

Part-M subpart-F will be amended.

Also the impact for the maintenance programme and mimimum inspection programme (applicable for non-CMPA and a/c <2730kg and other ELA-2 a/c) will be discussed.
