- 5. Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) • Relates to specific regulatory provision. Uses same numbering • Cannot impose a regulatory requirement • Provides means of satisfying related regulation • Organisations can prepare alternative means of meeting regulation. If CASA approves (after removal of IP or commercially sensitive information) could be published as alternative Guidance Material (GM) • Relates to specific regulatory provision • Uses same numbering • Explains policy intent of the regulation
- 6. Safety outcome-based legislation • Outcome-based legislation allows an acceptable safety outcome to be reached via multiple pathways. • This involves the legislation expressing the desired outcome supported by Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM). • Organisations provide an exposition to CASA detailing how they will conduct their operations to maintain the required level of safety. • Once the exposition is approved, CASA conducts surveillance to ensure the organisation continues to operate according to the approved exposition.
- 7. Can I propose an alternative means of compliance for any regulation? Generally, the legislation prescribes the required safety outcome, but not the methods or means to comply with the outcome. However, in some cases, for example the performance rules for managing airworthiness; carrying out maintenance; issuing a CRS or the qualifications required to gain a Part 66 licence; there is only one acceptable means of compliance. In these cases, the legislation contains the outcome which must be met, and there is only one acceptable means of compliance.
- 8. Maintenance Regulations – Key Changes • Based on organisational approvals - less reliance on individual approvals and delegations. • Approval contingent on industry demonstrating they can manage risks associated with requested privileges - focus is on the organisation’s systems. • Expositions - basis for demonstrating compliance at entry control and ongoing oversight.
- 9. CASR Parts and Policies
- 10. Part 42 – Continuing Airworthiness Pre-flight Instructions for Rectification to inspections continued ADs standard airworthiness AMP MEL/CDL Analysis of AMP Records Airworthy aircraft Reliability program Maintenance Non-mandatory Mods & modification embodiment Lifing Technical log Parts repairs policy control System
- 11. Part 42 – Continuing Airworthiness Key Changes • Clearly separates responsibilities for continuing airworthiness management (CAMO) and carrying out maintenance (Part 145 AMO) • AOC holders must be registered operator of aircraft listed on AOC • AOC holders must be approved as CAMO (Subpart G), including management structures and employee qualification standards • Introduces periodic airworthiness review - containing both records check and physical survey for each aircraft • Aircraft maintenance providers for RPT operators must be approved as CASR Part 145 organisations – domestic and international
- 12. Part 42 requirements for RPT Operations Establishes that: • continuing airworthiness of aircraft in regular public transport (RPT) operations as described under CAR 206(1)(c) must be managed by a continuing airworthiness management organisation (CAMO) • maintenance of all aircraft used for RPT must be carried out by a Part 145 approved maintenance organisation (AMO).
- 13. Part 42 Key Concepts and Terms • Instructions for continuing airworthiness • Maintenance data • Certificate of release to service (CRS) • Maintenance certification • Maintenance of aircraft and/or aeronautical products • Airworthiness review
- 14. Part 42 Regulation Structure Key considerations involved in shaping the regulation include: • Identifying who is responsible for a particular outcome • Balancing the responsibility of organisations for their employees and individuals acting independently • Federal criminal law policy • Consistency with existing legislation and terminology
- 15. Part 42 Regulation Structure Regulation structured so subpart’s content is aligned with party responsible for outcome Eg: Subpart B - requirements for registered operators 42.025 Purpose of subpart This subpart sets out: a) continuing airworthiness requirement applying to the registered operator of the aircraft; and b) record-keeping requirements for the registered operator of an aircraft (authorisations under regulation 42.630).
- 16. Part 42 Regulation Structure • Subpart C – Continuing airworthiness • Subpart D – Maintenance • Subpart E – Aeronautical products • Subpart F – Small maintenance organisations (N/A for RPT) • Subpart G – Continuing airworthiness management organisations (CAMO) • Subpart H – Maintenance certification and certificate of release to service
- 17. Part 42 Regulation Structure • Subpart I – Airworthiness reviews and airworthiness review certificates • Subparts J,K and L – Administration matters for maintenance and reliability programs • Subpart M – Requirements for pilots • Subpart N – Record keeping requirements • Subpart O – Copying and disclosing CVR information
- 18. Part 42 MOS CASR Part 42 MOS contains requirements for continuing airworthiness, including: • CAMO requirements Exposition Facilities and equipment Management and employees including qualifications ICAs Maintenance data Quality and internal review Records • Maintenance programs • Reliability programs
- 19. Part 42 MOS • Aviation industry standards • Large and small aircraft determinations • Foreign authorised release certificates • Pilot maintenance for RPT operations
- 20. Part 145 – Maintenance Organisations • Introduces SMS in line with ICAO SARP amendments • Introduces human factors training requirements removing an ICAO difference • Requires consideration of human performance limitations - integral to organisation’s processes and procedures; e.g. production planning to schedule manpower and workload • Requires formal authorisation of staff carrying out and certifying for maintenance on organisation’s behalf
- 21. Part 145 – Approved Maintenance Organisations Legislation structural considerations • Requirement to avoid regulatory duplication – e.g. those requirements applicable to a Part 145 organisation covered in Part 42 (Subparts D, E and H) • Introduction of SMS in the ICAO SARPS • Introduction of human factors integral to organisation’s processes and procedures
- 22. Part 145 Regulation covers: • Head of power for MOS content - organisational standards • Administrative provisions relating to assessment, approval, variation, suspension of approvals etc. (Consistent with CASR Parts 11 and 13) • Offence provisions – e.g. failure to operate in accordance with the organisation’s approved exposition The regulation and MOS model is very similar in Parts 42.G and 147
- 23. Part 145 MOS Requirements for a Part 145 organisation, including: • scope • production planning • facilities • certification of maintenance • managers • records • certifying employees • defect reporting • certification authorisations • quality assurance, including a quality management system • training • safety management system • equipment, tools and materials • exposition content • aeronautical products • Instructions for continuing airworthiness (ICAs) including maintenance data
- 24. Part 145 MOS Appendices • Organisational approval class and rating system • Category ‘A’ licence tasks • Conditions for the use of employees not qualified to Part 66 in accordance with paragraph 145.A.30 (k)
- 25. 145 Requirements Expositions for 145 approvals include: • Accountable, responsible, quality and safety managers • Organisation chart • Certifying employees • Facilities • Quality and safety management systems • Procedures for changing the exposition • Other procedures required by the regulations
- 26. Specialist Maintenance An AMO may authorise employees • non-destructive testing under section 145.A.35 for • welding specialist maintenance tasks or • boroscope inspections processes. These include: • composite repairs • in-flight entertainment equipment that requires specialist software management • other maintenance approved by CASA as specialist maintenance.
- 27. Specialist maintenance • Specialist maintainers can provide certifications for specialist maintenance and thus provide an assurance that such maintenance was carried out to the standards required. • Specialist maintenance personnel are trained and qualified in the specialist field and may not have the holistic understanding of the interrelationship of an aircraft’s systems, or airworthiness implications, that a maintenance certification licence holder must have. • Following specialist maintenance a certificate of release to service for the aircraft, is required such a certification must be made by an appropriate Part 66 licence holder.
- 28. Part 66 - Maintenance Personnel Licensing • Introduces category A, B1, B2 and C licences • B1 and B2 - primary licence categories by redistribution cover majority of existing airframe, engine, electrical, instrument and radio combinations • Nationally endorsed AQTF competency based training underpins licence categories • Implementation is about transitioning existing CAR31 privileges to Part 66 privileges without loss
- 29. Important Terminology/Concepts Category A = Issues certificates of release to service and maintenance certifications for specific maintenance tasks endorsed on the authorisation after minor scheduled line maintenance and defect rectification. Can only be used for work performed by the individual (no supervision provisions) in a Part 145 organisation.
- 30. Important Terminology / Concepts Category B1= Issues certificates of release to service and maintenance certification for airframe structure, powerplant, mechanical and electrical system maintenance. Can also replace and perform simple tests of avionic line replaceable units. B1 automatically includes all A category privileges Category B2 = Issues certificates of release to service and maintenance certifications for all avionic and electrical system maintenance
- 31. Important Terminology/Concepts Category C= Issues certificates of release to service for large aircraft following base maintenance in a Part 145 organisation.
- 32. Part 66 Policy Overview There are four sub-categories applicable to the A and B1 licences: • A1 and B1.1 = aeroplanes turbine • A2 and B1.2 = aeroplanes piston • A3 and B1.3 = helicopters turbine • A4 and B1.4 = helicopter piston
- 33. Category ‘A’ licence holders Provide a successful Attend a CASR Part 147 assessment from the 147 Organisation (MTO) and be to CASA and demonstrate assessed as competent for the eligibility for issue of full licence licence. CASA will issue. Assessment can include training and/or recognition of prior learning Be authorised by the Undertake specific type and maintenance organisation for task training. This may be the tasks on the types which done by a 147 or 145 you have been trained. maintenance organisation.
- 34. Part 147 Training Organisations • Part 147 establishes the requirements to be met by organisations seeking approval to conduct training & assessment under Part 66. • Delivers competency-based training for the issue of Part 66 licence categories. • Type rating training aligned to B1 and B2 licence categories.
- 36.

- 39. Expositions
- 40. Why have an Exposition? The regulations prescribe the desired safety outcome and not the methods or means of compliance with the outcome. The organisations expositions describe the processes, procedures and systems they intend to use to manage their operational risks and also meet the required legislative outcomes.
- 41. Where does a sample exposition live in the regulatory structure? A sample exposition template is a guidance document for organisations wanting to develop their own exposition.
