EASA approval is based on the management, organisation, resources, facilities and scope of work described in this Part 1
of the Exposition. Any significant change therefore affects the conditions under which the approval was granted and has
been allowed to continue. According to 145.A.85 this part of the Exposition must show how the company would notify the
competent authority and manage the related change .
1 .1 0 .1 N o t i f i ca t i o n
The procedure shall define the changes to be notified directly to EASA using an EASA Form 2 and the ones that can be
notified directly to the Assigned Inspector:

This chapter is intended to describe how the organisation is performing repairs on aircraft/components/engines according
to already available maintenance data and how is managing the repairs not described in the manufacturers'
documentation.
It has to be noted that the privilege given by PART 145.A.45 (d) in order for the organisation to develop modified
maintenance instructions (as described in previous MOE chapter 2.8), is excluding the engineering design of repairs and
modifications.
Maintenance procedures shall be established to ensure that damage is assessed and modifications and repairs are carried

This chapter shall refer to the aircraft, engines and component maintenance programmes (scheduled tasks, inspections,
adjustment, tests, replacement of component/limited life parts...). The content of the maintenance program remains always
the responsibility of the Operator. However the CAMO organisation may delegate certain functions to the Part-145
organisation under contract, provided this organisation proves to have the appropriate expertise.

The follow up of the airworthiness directives is the responsibility of the owner/operator who must request their enforcement
on the work order sent to the AMO. The AMO is then responsible to embody the ADs which have been ordered.
It is necessary to make a difference between the activities of management / launching of ADs on behalf of the customers
and the one carried under the Part 145 approval.
Only the AD related activities which concern the AMO tasks have to be described in the MOE, with particular reference to

This chapter is dedicated to the qualification and authorisation of the qualifying inspectors which undertake inspection
functions and sign-off the related task(s).
The various types of Qualifying inspector personnel, as applicable to the organisation, need to be addressed (e.g. aircraft
inspector, component inspector, engine inspector, store receiving inspector, etc.).
An Aircraft/component/engine qualifying inspectors is not authorised to issue a release to service for aircraft or component
or engine, unless he/she is also holding a certifying staff privilege.
Note: In the aircraft base maintenance environment the qualifying inspectors function does not correspond to the support
staff function. After the task sign-off, a further inspection stage is necessary by B1 and/or B2 Support staff as applicable.
B1 and B2 Support Staff shall ensure that all relevant tasks or inspections have been carried out to the required standard
before the category C certifying staff issues the certificate of release to service.
When the staff is holding more than one authorisation (i.e. qualifying mechanic, qualifying inspector and certifying staff),
the different authorisations shall be clearly distinguished.
Clear differentiation is expected for each different ratings in the scope of work (e.g. aircraft, engines, components,
specialised services).

This chapter shall refer to the different specialities of technicians (mechanics, avionics, sheet metal workers, cabin, fuel,
engines, painters, welders, cleaners, components, NDT staff, composites, line maintenance, ...), as applicable to the
organisation. Those personnel have to be considered authorised by the maintenance organisation approved under Part-
14
145 to sign-off tasks that the authorised qualifying mechanic has personally performed. Consistency shall be ensured
with the sign-off policy described in MOE chapter 2.13. An authorised qualifying mechanic is not authorised to issue a
release to service for aircraft or component or engine or NDT, unless he/she is also holding a certifying staff privilege.
When the staff is holding more than one authorisation (i.e. qualifying mechanic, qualifying inspector and certifying staff),
the different authorisations shall be clearly distinguished.
For example: a person may be at the same time:
- qualifying mechanic on the A320(CFM56), B777 (GE90) and ERJ-170 (GE CF34);
- qualifying inspector on the A320(CFM56) and B777 (GE90);
- holding a certification authorisation as certifying staff only for the B777 (GE90);

A sign-off is a statement by the competent person performing or supervising the work, that the task or group of tasks has been correctly performed. A sign-off

This chapter must describe the procedures of the organisation regarding exceptional authorisations related to maintenance
tasks. As per Appendix XI to AMC to M.A.708.(c), deviations have to be requested by the operator to its competent
authority or granted by the operator in accordance with a procedure acceptable to its competent authority. The contract
between the operator and the maintenance organisation shall specify the support the Part-145 approved organisation may
provide to the operator in order to substantiate the deviation request. This chapter is to be considered applicable only
under these circumstances.
