3.2.4 Continuing airworthiness functions
The ACD should:
a) ensure that a system is in place through which the operator will report malfunctions, failures, and defects to the type design organization and that the type design organization will review those reports and takes corrective action. The CAA should then monitor that activity in order to ensure that unsafe conditions are corrected;
b) monitor service bulletins from the manufacturer (both foreign and domestic) to determine likely effects on the continuing airworthiness of aviation products and to establish procedures to avoid or correct service difficulties;
c) mandate actions to correct any unsafe conditions and disseminate the information to all operators and to CAAs located in States that have the affected product on their national registry;
d) ensure that a system is in place for the receipt, review, and appropriate action on mandatory continued airworthiness information from the State of Design; and
e) ensure that a structural integrity programme is in place for each aeroplane above 5 700 kg and monitor its effectiveness.
3.2.5 Liaison functions
The ACD should:
a) provide technical advice on matters relating to production, inspection, and flight operations as required;
b) work with the organization responsible for accident/incident investigations to ensure that recommendations are adequately addressed; and
c) work with the aviation industry, other governmental organizations, and the public in safety matters.
3.3 Production division responsibilities
3.3.1 General
3.3.1.1 In those States with a significant aviation manufacturing industry, it will be necessary to establish a production division (PD) within the aviation organization. The size and structure of the PD will be based on the size and complexity of the aviation manufacturing industry. The PD's primary functions will be the development of regulations, policy and guidance with regard to production certification, the issue of certificates/approvals, the surveillance of aviation manufacturing activities, the oversight of corrective actions, the support of type certification activities for new aircraft, airworthiness determination of products and parts, and liaison activities with the appropriate organizations.
3.3.1.2 Within the PD, it may be useful to organize the division along functional areas of expertise. Specifically, these could include the development of regulations, policy and guidance, certification of production organizations, surveillance and oversight functions, and perhaps more specialized areas such as non-destructive inspection, software quality assurance, and special manufacturing processes. When the physical size of the State is large and the level of aviation manufacturing activity is relatively high, it may be necessary to establish regional offices positioned near manufacturing facilities. In such cases, it is essential that proper lines of communication exist between headquarters and any regional offices.
