The feedback part of the compliance monitoring function should define who is required to address any noncompliance in each particular case, and the procedure to be followed if the corrective action is not completed within the defined time frame. The principal functions of the feedback system are to ensure that all findings resulting from the independent audits of the organisation are properly investigated and corrected in a timely manner, and to enable the accountable manager to be kept informed of any safety issues and the extent of compliance with Part-CAMO. Notified findings include those detected during the airworthiness review, as well as findings raised directly by the competent authority. […]

text: The records should be transferred to the aircraft owner when requested, or to the person or organisation that will manage the continuing airworthiness, if accepted by the aircraft owner. The CAMO transferring the records should provide a written statement confirming that all records have been transferred and are complete and accurate.

Airworthiness review staff are automatically recognised as persons with authority to extend an airworthiness review certificate in accordance with points CAMO.A.125(e)(1), M.A.901(f) and ML.A.901(c). Personnel authorised to extend airworthiness review certificates are expected to have sufficient knowledge of the extension process and access to the necessary information to ensure that they can verify that the conditions for extending an airworthiness review certificate, as specified in point M.A.902(b) or ML.A.902(b), as applicable, are met.

text: (e) To hold a position with appropriate responsibilities means the airworthiness review staff should have a position in the organisation independent from the airworthiness management process or with overall authority on the airworthiness management process of complete aircraft. Independence from the airworthiness management process may be achieved, among other ways, as follows: − By being authorised to perform airworthiness reviews only on aircraft for which the person has not participated in their management. For example, performing airworthiness reviews on a specific aircraft type, while being involved in the continuing airworthiness management of a different aircraft type. − A CAMO holding a maintenance organisation approval may nominate maintenance personnel from their maintenance organisation as airworthiness review staff, as long as they are not involved in the airworthiness management of the aircraft. These personnel should not have been involved in the release to service of that particular aircraft (other than maintenance tasks performed during the physical survey of the aircraft or performed as a result of findings discovered during such physical survey) to avoid possible conflict of interests. − By nominating as airworthiness review staff personnel from the compliance monitoring department of the CAMO. Overall authority on the airworthiness management process of complete aircraft may be achieved, among other ways, as follows: − By nominating as airworthiness review staff the accountable manager or the nominated post holder. − By being authorised to perform airworthiness reviews only on those particular aircraft for which the person is responsible for the complete continuing airworthiness management process. − In the case of one-man organisations, this person has always overall authority. This means that this person can be nominated as airworthiness review staff. (e) To ensure that a person has a ‘position within the approved organisation with appropriate responsibilities’, the organisation should assess whether any potential conflict of interest could compromise the performance, accuracy and completeness of an airworthiness review to a particular aircraft. This means that the organisation should evaluate, on a case-by-case basis, whether potential conflicts of interest exist in relation to a specific aircraft (e.g. a particular serial number or fleet) that is subject to the airworthiness review. The following are examples of situations that could lead to conflicts of interest: — having performed or currently performing continuing airworthiness management tasks on an aircraft to be reviewed; — having performed maintenance activities on an aircraft to be reviewed, except for the maintenance tasks performed during the physical survey of the aircraft or performed as a result of findings discovered during such physical survey;

text: Annex V to ED Decision 2026/005/R Page 7 of 10

text: — being in a position where non-compliances identified during the airworthiness review may relate to the actions or omissions of a person capable of influencing the airworthiness review staff; for example, through hierarchical or family relationships. If a potential conflict of interest is identified, the organisation should assess the possible implications and associated risks by means of a risk assessment. If the outcome of the risk assessment shows that the identified risks cannot be reduced to an acceptable level through mitigation actions, that person cannot be considered as holding a position with appropriate responsibilities for performing the airworthiness review of a particular aircraft to which the conflict of interest relates. The risk level associated with potential conflict of interests depends on factors such as the number and complexity of the tasks performed that could give rise to a conflict of interest, as well as how recently they were performed, with tasks performed more recently posing a higher risk than those performed long ago. The risk level may also be adjusted based on the specific characteristics and type of operation of the aircraft subjected to airworthiness review.

text: ASSISTANCE TO AIRWORTHINESS REVIEW STAFF

text: Annex V to ED Decision 2026/005/R Page 8 of 10

text: (a) Subject to an organisation procedure approved by the competent authority, the airworthiness review staff may be assisted by qualified personnel employed by the organisation and accepted by both the organisation and the airworthiness review staff, for the performance of specific tasks. However, the intention is not for all tasks to be delegated, with the airworthiness review staff merely signing the ARC. The purpose is to allow the delegation of some tasks to qualified personnel that are competent, trained and capable in order to increase the efficiency of the process. In such cases, and when applicable, the airworthiness review staff should ensure that any items reviewed documentarily by qualified personnel are also physically verified on the aircraft by the same personnel. The airworthiness review staff is responsible for providing the necessary support, maintaining close supervision, and ultimately bear full responsibility for the entire airworthiness review process. (b) The procedure should include, as a minimum, the following elements: (1) Qualification requirements: The qualified personnel that assist the airworthiness review staff should meet experience and training standards similar to those required for airworthiness review staff. (2) Assessment of potential conflicts of interest: It should be ensured that the qualified personnel assisting the airworthiness review staff have no conflict of interest that could compromise the performance, accuracy or completeness of the airworthiness review. For example, a conflict of interest may exist if qualified personnel is/are involved in the continuing airworthiness management of the aircraft under review. (3) Number of qualified personnel that assist the airworthiness review staff: The number of qualified personnel should be proportionate to the complexity of the specific airworthiness review. (4) Supervision: The procedure should clearly define how the airworthiness review staff will supervise and ensure that all delegated airworthiness review tasks are performed correctly and in accordance with the applicable requirements. Supervision requires that both assisting qualified personnel and airworthiness review staff have physical access to the aircraft, its continuing airworthiness records and any other necessary data (e.g. certificates). (5) Responsibility: The procedure should specify that, in addition to the assisting personnel being qualified in accordance with the organisation’s procedure, they should also be acceptable to the airworthiness review staff. The airworthiness review staff should define the scope and details of the tasks assigned to the qualified personnel and should be satisfied with the quality and completeness of the reported outcomes, as they remain responsible for the content and any potential omissions in the airworthiness review report.
