nature of the finding that shall not be more than three months. In certain
circumstances, at the end of this first period and subject to the nature of the finding,
the CAA can extend the three month period subject to a satisfactory corrective
action plan.
(b) Action shall be taken by the CAA to suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure
to comply within the timescale granted by the CAA.
M.B.605(a)(1) AMC Findings
For a level 1 finding it may be necessary for the CAA to ensure that further maintenance and re-
certification of all affected products is accomplished, dependent upon the nature of the finding.
M.B.606 Changes
(a) The CAA shall comply with the applicable elements of the initial approval for any change to
the organisation notified in accordance with point M.A.617.
(b) The CAA may prescribe the conditions under which the approved maintenance
organisation may operate during such changes, unless it determines that the approval
should be suspended due to the nature or the extent of the changes.
(c) For any change to the maintenance organisation manual:
1. in the case of direct approval of changes in accordance with point (b) of point
M.A.604, the CAA shall verify that the procedures specified in the manual are in
compliance with this Annex before formally notifying the approved organisation of
the approval;
2. in the case of an indirect approval of changes in accordance with point (c) of point
M.A.604, the CAA shall ensure that:
(i) the changes remain minor;
(ii) it has adequate control over the approval of the changes to ensure they
remain in compliance with the requirements of this Annex.
M.B.606 AMC Changes
1. Changes in nominated persons.
The CAA should have adequate control over any changes to personnel specified in
M.A.606(a) and (b). Such changes will require an amendment to the manual.
2. It is recommended that a simple manual status sheet is maintained which contains
information on when an amendment was received by the CAA and when it was approved.
3. The CAA should define the minor amendments to the manual which may be incorporated
through indirect approval. In this case a procedure should be stated in the amendment
section of the maintenance organisation manual.
Changes notified in accordance with M.A.617 are not considered minor.
For all cases other than minor, the applicable part(s) of the CAA Form 6F should be used
for the change.
4. The approved maintenance organisation should submit each manual amendment to the
CAA whether it be an amendment for CAA approval or an indirectly approved amendment.
Where the amendment requires CAA approval, the CAA when satisfied, should indicate its
approval in writing. Where the amendment has been submitted under the indirect
approval procedure the CAA should acknowledge receipt in writing.
M.B.607 Revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval
The CAA shall:
(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat, or;
(b) suspend, revoke or limit an approval pursuant to point M.B.605.

Section B Subpart G Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation
Reference Description
M.B.701 Application
(a) For licenced air carriers in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 the CAA shall
receive for approval with the initial application for the air operator's certificate and where
applicable any variation applied for and for each aircraft type to be operated:
1. the continuing airworthiness management exposition;
2. the operator's aircraft maintenance programmes;
3. the aircraft technical log;
4. where appropriate the technical specification of the maintenance contracts between
the CAMO and Part-145 approved maintenance organisation.
M.B.701(a) AMC Application
1. The documents listed in M.B.701(a) points (1), (2) and (3) may require approval. Draft
documents should be submitted at the earliest opportunity so that assessment of the
application can begin. Grant or change cannot be effected until the CAA has received the
completed documents. This information is required to enable the CAA to conduct its
assessment in order to determine the volume of oversight work necessary and the
locations at which it will be accomplished.
2. If considered appropriate for the assessment, the CAA may request that at the time of
initial application or change of the approval schedule the CAMO applicant provides a copy
of the technical specifications of the contracts with Part-145 organisations to demonstrate
that arrangements are in place for all base and scheduled line maintenance for an
appropriate period of time.
