least 30 working days before the date of the intended changes.
(b) In the case of a planned change of a nominated person, the organisation should inform
the CAA at least 20 working days before the date of the proposed change.

CAA to determine whether there is continued compliance with the applicable
requirements, and to amend, if necessary, the organisation certificate and related terms of
approval.
CAMO.A.130 AMC2 Changes to the organisation
MANAGEMENT OF CHANGES
The organisation should manage the safety risks related to any changes to the organisation in
accordance with AMC1 CAMO.A.200(a)(3) point (e). For changes requiring prior approval, it should
conduct a risk assessment and provide it to the CAA upon request.
CAMO.A.130 GM1 Changes to the organisation
CHANGES REQUIRING OR NOT REQUIRING PRIOR APPROVAL
The rule point CAMO.A.130 is structured as follows:
- Point (a) introduces an obligation of prior approval (by the CAA) for specific cases listed
under (1) to (4).
- Point (b) address all instances (including (a)) where the Regulation explicitly requires an
approval by the CAA (e.g. CAME procedure for the completion of an airworthiness review
under supervision, ref. CAMO.A.310(c)). Changes relevant to these instances should be
considered as changes requiring a prior approval (see list in GM1 CAMO.A.130(b)),
unless otherwise specified by the Regulation.
- Point (b) also indicates how all changes requiring prior approval are to be handled.
- Point (c) introduces the possibility to agree with the CAA that certain changes to the
organisation (other than those covered by (a) or (b)) can be implemented without prior
approval depending on the compliance and safety performance of the organisation, and in
particular, on its capability to apply change management principles.
CAMO.A.130(a)(1) GM1 Changes to the organisation

CAMO.A.130(a)(1) GM2 Changes to the organisation
CHANGE OF THE NAME OF THE ORGANISATION
A change of the name requires the organisation to submit a new application as a matter of urgency.
If this is the only change to report, the new application can be accompanied by a copy of the
documentation that was previously submitted to the CAA under the previous name, as a means of
demonstrating how the organisation complies with the applicable requirements.
CAMO.A.130(b) GM1 Changes to the organisation
CHANGES REQUIRING PRIOR APPROVAL (OTHER THAN THOSE COVERED BY
CAMO.A.130(a))
Following are some examples of changes that require prior approval by the CAA (other than covered
by point CAMO.A.130(a)), as specified in the applicable implementing rules:
(a) changes to the alternative means of compliance [CAMO.A.120(b)]
(b) changes to the CAME procedure for the completion of an airworthiness review under
supervision of the organisation’s authorised airworthiness review staff (ARS)
[CAMO.A.310(c)]
(c) changes to the procedure to establish and control the competency of personnel
[CAMO.A.305(g)]
(d) changes to the system for reporting to the CAA on the safety performance and regulatory
compliance of the organisation (in the case of an extension beyond 36 months of the
oversight planning cycle) [CAMO.B.305(d)]
(e) changes to the procedure for the indirect approval of the maintenance programme of Part-
M aircraft [M.A.302(c)]
CAMO.A.135 Continued validity
(a) The organisation's certificate shall remain valid subject to compliance with all of the
following conditions:
(1) the organisation remaining in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and its
delegated and implementing acts, taking into account the provisions related to the
handling of findings as specified under point CAMO.B.350;
(2) the CAA being granted access to the organisation as specified in point
CAMO.A.140;
(3) the certificate not being surrendered or revoked.
(b) For air carriers licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, termination,
suspension or revocation of the air operator certificate automatically invalidates the
organisation certificate in relation to the aircraft registrations specified in the air operator
certificate, unless otherwise explicitly stated by the CAA.
