CHAPTER VI – EVALUATION AND APPROVAL OF AMO AND QC MANUAL

1. INTRODUCTION. a. Objective. This chapter provides guidance for evaluating, approving, or rejecting all CASR 145 AMO Manual andor Quality Control Manual QCM original submissions or revisions.

b. General. 1 Currency of a QCM. Before issuing a Certificate of Approval, the

applicant’s AMO Manual andor QCM must reflect the applicant’s current procedures. As required by part 145, CASR Part 145.207 211 AMO Manual must be approved by DAAO and in QCM in a format approved by DAAO. 2 Revision of an Existing Manual. When a certificate holder revises an existing manual, the DAAO must also approve the revisions as appropriate. 3 Manual Content. The manuals submitted by a certificate holder or applicant may be separate or may be combined into a single manual. The format should be consistent and all regulatory requirements must be included. TheDAAO Inspector must ensure the procedures used in the performance of maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations are reflected accurately in the manuals. It is expected that, to fully describe the AMO’s inspectionquality system, there will be some procedures that may not be regulatory. 4 Original Certification Versus Revision. When evaluating a manual as part of an original certification, each entire manual will be submitted prior to certification. If this task is performed as a revision, only the portion of the manual that is revised must be submitted. 5 AMO Manual and QCM. Each certificated AMO must maintain a current AMO Manual and QCM. 6 Accessibility of Manual. A certificated AMO’s current AMO Manual QCM must be accessible for use by AMO personnel. All AMO employees on all shifts must have access to the manual, regardless of the media used electronic, CD-ROM, etc.. 7 DAAO. A certificated AMO must provide to DAAO the current AMO Manual QCM in a format approved to the DAAO. If the manuals or manual submitted are in electronic media format, they must be compatible with DAAO electronic capabilities and free of any programs that would adversely affect that capability. July 2013 55 8 Recommendations for Manual Development. There are some recommendations included in this Staff Instruction and guidance material for developing and evaluating AMO Manual and Quality Control Manual. They have been included to assist the inspector and certificate holderapplicant in developing a more complete description of the AMO’s overall functions, responsibilities, and quality control procedures. 9 Maintenance and Alterations in Accordance With Air Carrier’s Manuals.
