ANNEX I - Continuing Airworthiness Requirements

M.A.201(e) GM Responsibilities
The performance of ground de-icing and anti-icing activities does not require a Part-145 maintenance
organisation approval. Nevertheless, inspections required to detect and, when necessary, remove de-
icing and/or anti-icing fluid residues are considered maintenance. Such inspections may only be
carried out by suitably authorised personnel.
M.A.201(e)(2) AMC Responsibilities
1. An air carrier licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 only needs to
hold a CAMO approval as part of its air operator certificate (AOC) for the management of
the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft listed on its AOC. The approval to carry out
airworthiness reviews is optional.
2. Part-M does not provide for CAMOs to be independently approved to perform continuing
airworthiness management tasks on behalf of air carriers licensed in accordance with
Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008. The approval of such activity is vested in the (AOC).
3. The operator is ultimately responsible and, therefore, accountable for the airworthiness of
its aircraft.
M.A.201(i) GM Aircraft maintenance programme
If an owner decides not to make a contract in accordance with M.A.201(i), the owner is fully
responsible for the proper accomplishment of the corresponding tasks. As a consequence, it is
recommended that the owner properly self-assesses his/her own competence to accomplish them
or otherwise seeks the proper expertise.
M.A.201(i)(3) AMC Responsibilities
LIMITED CONTRACT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AMP
The limited contract for the development and, when applicable, processing of the approval of the
aircraft maintenance programme should cover the responsibilities related to M.A.302(d), M.A.302(f)
and M.A.302(h).
M.A.201(k) GM1 Responsibilities
USE OF AIRCRAFT INCLUDED IN AN AOC FOR NCO OR SPO
As point (k) is not a derogation from the previous points of M.A.201, points M.A.201(f), (g), (h) and (i)
are still applicable.
M.A.202 Occurrence reporting
(a) Without prejudice to the reporting requirements set out in Annex II (Part-145) and Annex
Vc (Part-CAMO), any person or organisation responsible in accordance with point
M.A.201 shall report any identified condition of an aircraft or component which endangers
flight safety to:
(1) the CAA;
(2) to the organisation responsible for the type design or supplemental type design.
(b) The reports referred to in point (a) shall be made in a manner determined by the CAA and
shall contain all pertinent information about the condition known to the person or
organisation making the report.
(c) Where the maintenance or the airworthiness review of the aircraft is carried out on the
basis of a written contract, the person or the organisation responsible for those activities
shall also report any condition referred to in point (a) to the owner and the operator of the
aircraft and, when different, to the CAMO or CAO concerned.
(d) The person or organisation shall submit the reports referred to in points (a) and (c) as
soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours from the moment when the person or
organisation identified the condition to which the report relates, unless exceptional
circumstances prevent this.
(e) The person or organisation shall submit a follow-up report, providing details of actions
which that person or organisation intends to take to prevent similar occurrences in the
future, as soon as those actions have been identified. The follow-up report shall be
submitted in a form and manner established by the CAA.
M.A.202(a) AMC Occurrence reporting
Accountable persons or organisations should ensure that the type certificate (TC) holder receives
adequate reports of occurrences for that aircraft type, to enable it to issue appropriate service
instructions and recommendations to all owners or operators.
Liaison with the TC holder is recommended to establish whether published or proposed service
