text: AMC1 CAO.A.095(b)(3) Privileges of the organisation

text: (a) The CAO may subcontract certain continuing airworthiness management tasks to qualified organisations. The subcontracted organisation performs the continuing airworthiness management tasks as an integral part of the CAO quality system, irrespective of any other approval held by the subcontracted organisation (including CAMO, CAO or Part-145 approval). (b) The CAO remains accountable for the satisfactory completion of the continuing airworthiness management tasks irrespective of any contract that may be established. (c) In order to fulfil this responsibility, the CAO should be satisfied that the actions taken by the subcontracted organisation meet the standards required by Part-CAO. Therefore, the CAO management of such activities should be accomplished by: (1) active control through direct involvement; and/or (2) endorsing the recommendations made by the subcontracted organisation. (d) In order to retain ultimate responsibility, the CAO should limit subcontracted tasks to the activities specified below: (3)(1) airworthiness directive analysis and planning; (4)(2) service bulletin analysis; (5)(3) planning of maintenance; (6)(4) reliability monitoring, engine health monitoring; (7)(5) maintenance programme development and amendments; and (8)(6) any other activities, which do not limit the CAO responsibilities, as agreed by the competent authority.

text: Annex VII to ED Decision 2023/013/R Page 1 of 4

text: FABRICATION […] (c) The approved data necessary to fabricate the part is that approved by either the Agency, the type certificate (TC) holder, the Part 21 design organisation approval holder, or the supplemental type certificate (STC) holder. Alternatively, the data can be declared by the declarant of a declaration of design compliance (in accordance with Part 21 Light Subpart C). […] (f) […]. Where special processes or inspection procedures are defined in the approved or declared (in accordance with Part 21 Light Subpart C) data, which are not available at the approved maintenance organisation, that organisation cannot fabricate the part unless the TC/STC holder or the declarant of a declaration of design compliance gives an approved alternative. […] (h) Where a TC holder or declarant of a declaration of design compliance or an approved or declared (in accordance with Part 21 Light Subpart G) production organisation, or a production organisation using Part 21 Light Subpart R is prepared to make available complete data which is not referred to in aircraft manuals or service bulletins, but provides manufacturing drawings for items specified in parts lists, the fabrication of these items is not considered to be within the scope of a CAO approval unless agreed otherwise by the competent authority in accordance with a procedure specified in the CAE. (i) Inspection and identification […]. The inspection should establish full compliance with the relevant manufacturing data, and the part should be unambiguously identified as fit for use by stating conformity to the approved or declared (in accordance with Part 21 Light Subpart C) data.
