1.
develop and control a maintenance programme for the aircraft managed includ-ing any applicable reliability programme,
2.
present the aircraft maintenance programme and its amendments to the compe-tent authority for approval, unless covered by an indirect approval procedure in accordance with point M.A.302(c), and provide a copy of the programme to the owner of aircraft not involved in commercial air transport,
3.
manage the approval of modification and repairs,
4.
ensure that all maintenance is carried out in accordance with the approved main-tenance programme and released in accordance with M.A. Subpart H,
5.
ensure that all applicable airworthiness directives and operational directives with a continuing airworthiness impact, are applied,
6.
ensure that all defects discovered during scheduled maintenance or reported are corrected by an appropriately approved maintenance organisation,
7.
ensure that the aircraft is taken to an appropriately approved maintenance organisation whenever necessary,
8.
coordinate scheduled maintenance, the application of airworthiness directives, the replacement of service life limited parts, and component inspection to ensure the work is carried out properly,
9.
manage and archive all continuing airworthiness records and/or operator’s tech-nical log.
10.
ensure that the mass and balance statement reflects the current status of the aircraft.
(c)
In the case of commercial air transport, when the operator is not appropriately approved to Part-145, the operator shall establish a written maintenance contract between the operator and a Part-145 approved organisation or another operator, detailing the functions specified under M.A.301-2, M.A.301-3, M.A.301-5 and M.A.301-6, ensuring that all maintenance is ultimately carried out by a Part-145 approved maintenance organisation and defining the support of the quality functions of M.A.712(b). The aircraft base, scheduled line maintenance and engine maintenance contracts, together with all amendments, shall be approved by the competent authority. However, in the case of:
1.
an aircraft requiring unscheduled line maintenance, the contract may be in the form of individual work orders addressed to the Part-145 maintenance organisa-tion.
2.
component maintenance, including engine maintenance, the contract as referred to in paragraph (c) may be in the form of individual work orders addressed to the Part-145 maintenance organisation.
AMC M.A.708 (b)(3) Continuing Airworthiness Management
When managing the approval of modifications or repairs the organisation should ensure that Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations are taken into account.
AMC M.A.708 (c) Continuing airworthiness management (*)
1.
Where an operator is not approved under Part-145 or an operator’s maintenance organisation is an independent organisation, a contract should be agreed between the operator and a maintenance organisation approved under Part-145, which speci-fies, in detail, the work to be performed by the maintenance organisation. Appendix XI to this AMC gives further details on the subject.*
2.
Both the specification of work and the assignment of responsibilities should be clear, unambiguous and sufficiently detailed to ensure that no misunderstanding should arise between the parties concerned (operator, maintenance organisation and the competent authority) that could result in a situation where work that has a bearing on the airworthiness or serviceability of aircraft is not or will not be properly per-formed.
3.
Special attention should be paid to procedures and responsibilities to ensure that all maintenance work is performed, service bulletins are analysed and decisions taken on accomplishment, airworthiness directives are completed on time and that all work, including non-mandatory modifications is carried out to approved data and to the latest standards.
