Guidance: Taking these points in order further consideration has determined that CAA implementation policy is as follows: 1) Five years experience in continuing airworthiness. The experience gained should include a broad range of appropriate continuing airworthiness related activities as required in Part M subpart C and Part M subpart G, M.A.708. Quality Dept staff may gain experience through carrying out relevant audits & product samples. For aircraft of 2730 kg MTOM and below, not used for commercial air transport, experience in continuing airworthiness can be gained full or part-time, either in a professional, or a voluntary capacity.

An aeronautical engineering apprenticeship. aeroplane piston engines. ‘Relevant sample’ means that these courses should cover typical systems embodies in those aircraft within the organisations scope of approval. These courses should be to at least Part-66 Level 1 general familiarisation standard. (i) An appropriate Part 66 Licence in the sub-category means a Category B1-1.

This means the Airworthiness Review staff should hold a position in the organisation independent from the airworthiness management process or with overall responsibility for the airworthiness management of the complete aircraft. aeroplane piston engines or aeroplane turbine engines as appropriate) including each type of turbine propulsion system (turbofan. Technical Services staff on the Boeing fleet may carry out the airworthiness review activity on the Airbus fleet. ‘Relevant sample’ means that these courses should cover typical systems embodies in those aircraft within the organisations scope of approval. c) The organisation’s continuing airworthiness management exposition. Records of the assessment should be retained on file within the approved organisation. This knowledge may be demonstrated by documented evidence or by an assessment performed by the CAA or by other Airworthiness Review staff already authorised within the organisation. (ii) A person independent of the continuing airworthiness management process for the aircraft under review. Such knowledge should be at least at equivalent to Part-66 Level 1 general familiarisation. d) Maintenance methods. If the person does not have responsibility for the complete process.
