Paperwork and Timeframe. The DAAO will give Form 120-01 – Pre

July 2013 40 ii. The DAAO Inspector should carefully consider if this specification covers all areas required for the repair prior to approval. iii. Will this repair, when completed, allow approval for return to service for the article? If the specification does not meet the requirements of CASR Part 43.13, then the DAAO Inspector should inform the applicant that the specification may be used as part of a process the applicant can develop under the provisions of CASR Part 145.61c2. iv. The DAAO Inspector should not accept the process at face value, but must evaluate if the process is appropriate for the article. v. The DAAO Inspector should annotate the need for additional limitations, if any, in the limitation section of the OpSpecs. vi. Many civil and military specifications currently used by industry are generic. The DAAO Inspector should verify that the AMO has provisions in its manual for evaluation of the article to determine if anything would prohibit the specification utilization. 4 If the applicant requested certification of a AMO with managerial control in conjunction with certification of one or more satellites, the CPM should advise the applicant of the privileges, limitations, and responsibilities of each. The applicant must submit an application package for each AMO and identify which AMO will have managerial control. The AMO with managerial control is determined by the applicant, not by DAAO. Ownership, size of facility, or other factors may not necessarily indicate managerial control. This is also true when an applicant applies for a satellite AMO certificate under the managerial control of an existing certificated AMO. 5 The DAAO Inspectorteam will evaluate the results of the preapplication meeting; if acceptable, continue to next phase.

3. FORMAL APPLICATION PHASE. a. Receive

the Formal Application. Ensure submission and completeness of all documents.

b. Evaluate the Application Package. Based on the initial survey of the

application package, make a decision whether or not to continue with the certification process.

c. Conduct an Application Meeting. Answer any open questions

concerning the package before proceeding to the next phase. Do this in the most effective way possible; e.g., meetings or correspondence.
