4 Current and Proposed Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 7 Civil Aviation Safety Regulations - Structure Civil Aviation Act 1988 Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1988 (including CASR Parts 42, 66, 145 and 147) Manual of Standards - CASR Parts 42, 66, 145 and 147 Acceptable Means of Compliance Guidance Material Entry control and ongoing oversight conducted against applicant exposition 8

5 Maintenance Regulations Key Changes Based on organizational 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 organization s systems. Expositions - basis for demonstrating compliance at entry control and ongoing oversight. 9 CASR Parts and Policies 10

6 Part 42 Continuing Airworthiness Pre-flight inspections Instructions for continued airworthiness ADs Rectification to standard AMP MEL/CDL Analysis of AMP Records Maintenance Airworthy aircraft Reliability program Non-mandatory modification embodiment policy Lifing control Technical log System Parts Mods & repairs 11 Part 42 Continuing Airworthiness Key Changes Clearly separates responsibilities for continuing airworthiness management organization (CAMO) and carrying out maintenance (Part 145 AMO) 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 organizations domestic and international 12

7 Part 42 MOS CAMO requirements Aviation industry standards Large and small aircraft determinations Foreign authorised release certificates Pilot maintenance for RPT operations 13 Part 145 Maintenance Organizations Introduces SMS in line with ICAO SARP amendments Introduces human factors training requirements removing the ICAO difference Requires consideration of human performance limitations - integral to organization s processes and procedures; e.g. production planning to schedule manpower and workload Requires formal authorization of staff carrying out and certifying for maintenance on organization s behalf 14

8 Part 145 Regulation Regulation covers: Head of power for MOS content - organizational 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 organization s approved exposition The regulation and MOS model is very similar in Parts 42.G and Part 145 MOS Requirements for a Part 145 organization, including: scope facilities managers certifying employees certification authorizations training equipment, tools and materials aeronautical products Instructions for continuing airworthiness (ICAs) including maintenance data production planning certification of maintenance records defect reporting quality assurance, including a quality management system safety management system exposition content 16

9 Part 145 MOS Appendices Organizational approval class and rating system Category A licence tasks Conditions for the use of employees in accordance with paragraph 145.A.30 (k) 17 Part 66 - Maintenance Personnel Licensing Introduced category A, B1, B2 and C licences B1 and B2 - primary licence categories by redistribution cover existing airframe, engine, electrical, instrument and radio combinations Nationally endorsed AQTF competency based training underpins licence categories Licences are perpetual Currency must be maintained to exercise licence privileges 18

10 Licence sub-categories 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 19 Part 66 - MOS Part 66 MOS includes things such as: Licence categories and privileges Basic knowledge and competency requirements Experience requirements Type ratings and training Practical training 20

11 Part 147 Training Organizations Part 147 establishes the requirements organizations seeking approval to conduct training and assessment under Part 66 must meet. Delivers competency-based training for issue of Part 66 licence categories. Type rating training aligned to B1 and B2 licence categories 21 Implementation Considerations 22

12 Proposed operational and airworthiness relationships Part 119 AOC Includes CAMO Part 145 Large Aircraft & Components Small Aircraft in Passenger Transport & Components Other operations with an AOC May include or contract a CAMO Part 42.F Small Aircraft not in Passenger Transport & Components Part 91 Small Aircraft with no AOC 23 Current operational and airworthiness relationships 24

13 Part 42 and 145 Application CAR 1988 AOC for the purpose of CAR 206(1)(c) - RPT 27 June June June 2013 CAMO Only CAR 206(1)(c) AOCs holding a Part 42 CAMO Approval can operate in RPT Only Part 145 AMOs can maintain aircraft and/or aeronautical products for aircraft used in CAR 206(1)(c) CAR 30 providing maintenance of aircraft or aeronautical products CAR 30 MRO CAR 30 MRO can no longer maintain CAR 206(1)(c) 25 Ongoing work program Some specific issues requiring consultation and finalisation before the maintenance regulations could be applied to Aerial Work and General Aviation include: Generic maintenance programs Requirement for an Annual Airworthiness Review The need and role of the Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization The relationship between Part 145 and Part 42 Subpart F maintenance organizations scope.
