SAMPLE EXPOSITION
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This document provides guidance on the structure and content of an approved maintenance
organisation (AMO) exposition as required by DASR 145.A.70. The content relates directly to
the requirements of DASR 145 and is based on the example of Exposition contents shown in
AMC 145.A.70(a)
The document is a mixture of requirements and guidance under recommended headings for an
AMO’s exposition. It is recommended that AMOs retain the headings (expanded as necessary)
and the content of Part 1. All other detail can be amended to suit your organisation.
The content of the sample exposition has been arranged into parts, sections and subsections.
The aim is to collate all the processes and procedures related to a subject under the relevant
section in the exposition, irrespective of the location of the regulatory requirement in DASR 145.
The text provided under each section or subsection of the sample exposition provides guidance
on the nature of contents to be included. The sections and subsections should be further
expanded according to the complexity of the processes and procedures of the AMO. As
mentioned above, DGTA-ADF recommends Part 1 be retained as per the sample exposition as
it provides the main administrative information about the organisation, including the
organisation’s structure, location, scope of approval, list of key personnel etc.
In some cases specimen text or procedures have been included (in italics) in the sample
exposition to expand the guidance and to illustrate the nature of the content required. The
organisation should carefully consider the provided content and make necessary changes
before including it in their exposition.
It is important for the users of this document to appreciate that no single sample exposition can
meet the needs of all types and sizes of organisations or reflect the different organisational
structures, policies and procedures. This document is for guidance only and the structure and
content of the AMO’s exposition should reflect their structures, policies and procedures. DGTA-
ADF suggests the organisation correlates the content of the exposition with a compliance check
list/matrix to demonstrate to DGTA-ADF that they have fully addressed all applicable
requirements of DASR 145.
The remainder of the document, Parts 2 to 5 inclusive, comprises subject and suggested
paragraph headings, to form the basis of an acceptable document.
Where the content of the exposition requires processes and procedures to be provided, these
may be included in other documents provided they are referred to in the exposition. However, in
that case, the other documents form part of the exposition and are subject to the same
requirements and controls as the exposition. Processes and procedures included or referred to
in the exposition should be of adequate depth and include enough details to demonstrate they
establish compliance with the applicable requirements of DASR 145. An accurately completed
compliance matrix may benefit the AMO as a component of their Quality Management System
for checking and conducting audit compliance requirements.
Duties and responsibilities of individuals as mentioned in the exposition should relate to the
obligation of the organisation or the individual under DASR 145, and are not meant to cover
employment conditions, performance criteria or administrative functions. Where content of the
exposition requires identifying the individual responsible for an action or a decision that is part
of a process, it is intended that the individual will be identified by their position title (such as
‘Quality Manager’) or if applicable, by means that describes their function (such as ‘Safety
Manager’ or ‘Data Entry Clerk’).
DGTA-ADF recommends worksheets, checklists, forms, lists of items and personnel etc.
required under the exposition or associated with the processes or procedures required by the
exposition should be included as appendices at the end of the exposition. However, as
mentioned above, they may be included in other documents that contain the processes and
procedures or in any other document if it is convenient for the organisation to do so.
