Additional requirements in the case of applying point M.A.201(ea) In addition to the above-listed requirements and obligations in points 5.1 and 5.2, when a contract between the CAMO and the operator is concluded in accordance with point M.A.201(ea), the continuing airworthiness management contract shall also comply with the requirements of points 7.1 to 7.3. Before the contract is signed, the operator shall assess the CAMO to ensure that the CAMO has the capability and capacity to comply with the contract. 7.1.
