                                           3. Approval
                                             The CAA should approve the manual in writing. This will normally be done by approving a
                                             list of effective pages.
                                             Minor amendments, or amendments to a large capability list, can be approved indirectly,
                                             through a procedure approved by the CAA.
                                           4. Continuous compliance with Part-M and Part-ML
                                             When a maintenance organisation manual no longer meets the requirements of this PartM
                                             or PartML, whether through a change in PartM or PartML, a change in the organisation or
                                             its activities, or through an inadequacy shown to exist by verification inspections
                                             conducted under the organisational review, or any other reason that affects the manuals
                                             conformity to requirements, the approved maintenance organisation is responsible to
                                             prepare and have approved an amendment to its manual.
                                           5. Distribution
                                             The manual describes how the organisation works therefore the manual or relevant parts
                                             thereof need to be distributed to all concerned staff in the organisation and contracted
                                             organisations.
             M.A.616 APP8 to AMC     Appendix VIII to AMC M.A.616 — Organisational Review
                                      This is only applicable to organisations with less than 10 maintenance staff members. For larger
                                      organisations, the principles and practices of an independent quality system should be used.
                                      Depending on the complexity of the small organisation (number and type of aircraft, number of
                                      different fleets, subcontracting of specialised services, etc.), the organisational review system may
                                      vary from a system using the principles and practices of a quality system (except for the requirement
                                      of independence) to a simplified system adapted to the low complexity of the organisation and the
                                      aircraft managed.
                                      aircraft managed.
                                      As a core minimum, the organisational review system should have the following features, which
                                      should be described in the Maintenance Organisation Manual (MOM):
                                           a. Identification of the person responsible for the organisational review programme.
                                             By default, this person should be the accountable manager, unless he delegates this
                                             responsibility to (one of) the M.A.606(b) person(s).
                                           b. Identification and qualification criteria for the person(s) responsible for performing the
                                             organisational reviews.
                                             These persons should have a thorough knowledge of the regulations and of the
                                             maintenance organisation procedures. They should also have knowledge of audits,
                                             acquired through training or through experience (preferably as an auditor, but also possibly
                                             because they actively participated in several audits conducted by the CAA).
                                           c. Elaboration of the organisational review programme:
                                               -  Checklist(s) covering all items necessary to be satisfied that the organisation
                                                 delivers a safe product and complies with the regulation. All procedures described
