Appendix II to M.A.201 (h)(1): Sub-contracting of continuing airworthiness management tasks
1. SUB-CONTRACTED OPERATOR’S CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS MANAGEMENT TASKS
1.1 To actively control the standards of the sub-contracted organisation the operator should employ a person or group of persons who are trained and competent in the disciplines associated with M.A Subpart G. As such they are responsible for determining what maintenance is required, when it has to be performed and by whom and to what standard, in order to ensure the continued airworthiness of the aircraft being operated.
1.2 The operator should conduct a pre-contract audit to establish that the sub-contracted organisation can achieve the standards required by M.A Subpart G in connection with those activities to be sub-contracted.
1.3 The operator should ensure that the sub-contracted organisation has sufficient qualified personnel who are trained and competent in the functions to be sub-contracted. In assessing the adequacy of personnel resources the operator should consider the particular needs of those activities that are to be sub-contracted, while taking into account the sub-contracted organisations existing commit-ments.
1.4 To be appropriately approved to contract out continuing airworthiness manage-ment tasks the operator should have procedures for the management control of these arrangements. The operator’s continuing airworthiness management exposition should contain relevant procedures to reflect his control of those arrangements made with the sub-
contracted organisation.
1.5 Sub-contracted continuing airworthiness management tasks should be addressed in a contract between the operator and the sub-contracted organisation. The contract should also specify that the sub-contracted organisation is responsible for informing the operator who is in turn responsible for notifying the respective competent authority, of any subsequent changes that affect their ability to sup-port the contract.
1.6 Organisations providing continuing airworthiness management tasks to support commercial air transport operators should use procedures which set out the manner by which the organisation fulfils its responsibility to those sub-contract-ed activities. Such procedures may be developed by either the sub-contracted organisation or the operator.
1.7 Where the sub-contracted organisation develops its own procedures these should be compatible with the operator’s continuing airworthiness management exposi-tion and the terms of the contract. These should be accepted by the competent authority as extended procedures of the operator and as such should be cross-referenced from the continuing airworthiness management exposition. One current copy of the sub-contracted organisation’s relevant procedures should be kept by the operator and should be accessible to the competent authority where needed.
