Part CAMO - ANNEX Vc - Organisational Requirements for Continuing Airworthiness Management
Reference SECTION A ORGANISATION REQUIREMENTS
CAMO.A.005 Scope
This Section establishes the requirements to be met by an organisation to qualify for the issue or
continuation of a certificate for the management of continuing airworthiness of an aircraft and of
components for installation.
CAMO.A.115 Application for an organisation certificate
(a) The application for a certificate or an amendment to an existing certificate in accordance
with this Annex shall be made in a form and manner established by the CAA, taking into
account the applicable requirements of Annex I (Part-M), Annex Vb (Part-ML) and this
Annex.
(b) Applicants for an initial certificate pursuant to this Annex shall provide the CAA with:
(1) the results of a pre-audit performed by the organisation against the applicable
requirements provided for in Annex I (Part-M), Annex Vb (Part-ML) and this Annex;
(2) documentation demonstrating how they will comply with the requirements
established in this Regulation.
Such documentation shall include, as provided for in point CAMO.A.130, a procedure
describing how changes not requiring prior approval will be managed and notified to the
CAA.
CAMO.A.115 AMC1 Application for an organisation certificate
An application should be made on an CAA Form 2 (Appendix I to AMC1 CAMO.A.115) or an equivalent
form that is acceptable to the CAA.
CAA Form 2 is also valid for application for other types of organisations pursuant to Regulation (EU)
No 1321/2014. Organisations that apply for several certificates may do so using a single CAA Form 2.
CAMO.A.115 AMC2 Application for an organisation certificate
GENERAL
(a) Draft documents should be submitted at the earliest opportunity so that assessment of
the application can begin. The initial certification or approval of changes cannot take place
until the CAA has received the completed documents.
(b) This information, including the results of the pre-audit specified in point CAMO.A.115(b)(1),
will enable the CAA to conduct its assessment in order to determine the volume of
certification and oversight work that is necessary, and the locations where it will be carried
out.
(c) The intent of the internal pre-audit referred to in point CAMO.A.115(b)(1) is to ensure that
the organisation has internally verified its compliance with the Regulation. This should
allow the organisation to demonstrate to the CAA the extent to which the applicable
requirements are complied with, and to provide assurance that the organisation
management system is established to a level that is sufficient to perform continuing
airworthiness management activities.
CAMO.A.115(b) GM1 Application for an organisation certificate
PROCEDURE FOR CHANGES NOT REQUIRING PRIOR APPROVAL
The procedure for changes not requiring prior approval should include, as mentioned in point
CAMO.A.300(a)(11)(iv), both the scope of those changes and how they will be managed and
notified.
For applicants for an initial certificate, the scope may be limited by the CAA for the first period of
operation. An extension of such a limited scope may be considered later; see GM1 CAMO.A.130.
CAMO.A.115(b)(2) AMC1 Application for an organisation certificate
DOCUMENTATION FOR DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE
(a) Documentation to be provided to the CAA in the frame of an application for an initial Part-
CAMO certificate should include, as a minimum, the continuing airworthiness
management exposition (CAME), containing in particular:
- for CAT, commercial specialised operations and commercial ATO/DTO operations,
the description of the aircraft technical log system;
- the technical content of the contract between the CAMO and the organisation
subcontracted to carry out continuing airworthiness management tasks, when such
arrangement exists.
(b) Upon request by the CAA, the CAMO should be able to demonstrate that arrangements
are in place for all base and scheduled line maintenance for an appropriate period of time.
CAMO.A.120 Means of compliance
(a) Alternative means of compliance to the AMC adopted by the CAA may be used by an
organisation to establish compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and its delegated
