2 The AMO may also wish to provide a list of those maintenance functions for which it has the housing, facilities, equipment, and materials “in-house,” but
may need to contract to another facility because of workload or emergency situations. For example, an airframe rated AMO may have the capability to
perform maintenance or alteration on landing gear, but if the in-house facility cannot accomplish the work scope within a specified time, it may want to
contract that work to another facility. It would not be able to contract the work unless the maintenance function of landing gear maintenance was on its
DAAO-approved list.
3 Additionally, the AMO may wish to provide a method for which a maintenance function can be added to its DAAO approved function list on an emergency
basis. This would be accomplished by explaining how the maintenance function would be added and how the DAAO approval would be obtained in a
short period of time. The AMO should coordinate closely with its principal inspector and its local DAAO regarding these emergency procedures.
