7 Continued Airworthiness Requirements GAR Part 39 Page 1 Subpart A General 39.1 Purpose (a) This Part details requirements governing aircraft registered in Guernsey and issued with an airworthiness certificate under Part 21 Subpart E and any aeronautical product associated with those aircraft. (b) An aircraft shall not fly unless its continued airworthiness is managed by a person or organisation approved by the Director of Civil Aviation in accordance with a maintenance programme under a maintenance control manual or equivalent document approved by the Director of Civil Aviation in relation to that aircraft and, for aircraft above 2,700 kg MTOM authorised, a Technical Coordinator acceptable to the Director shall be appointed. (c) The requirements of this GAR Part cover the grant and renewal of continued airworthiness inspection programmes and management approvals. These are the approval options under this GAR Part: (1) Subpart E Option 1: the approval of an organisation based on the acceptance of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) requirements of Part M Subpart G and the EASA regulatory oversight of that organisation. (2) Subpart E Option 2: the approval of an organisation that does not hold an approval identified in paragraph 39.1(c)(1). (d) Subpart F is a standard of continued airworthiness management required for Guernsey-registered aircraft operating under a foreign air operator certificate and subject to an ICAO Article 83bis agreement with Guernsey. (e) Throughout this Part reference is made to the options identified in paragraph 39.1(c)(1) and (2). The options are not at the discretion of an applicant but are routes that depend on the existing approval status of an organisation and are determined by the Director. (f) These Requirements are not in themselves Law. Failure to comply may not constitute an offence. However, the Requirements repeat or reproduce many of the provisions of the Air Navigation (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2012, as amended ( the Law ), including the Rules of the Air set out in Schedule 4 to the Law. Therefore, failure to comply with these Requirements may: (1) constitute a breach of the Law; and (2) result in proceedings for breaches of the Law; or (3) result in the refusal of an application for renewal of a certificate; or (4) result in action to suspend or revoke a certificate. (g) The Law details the legal obligations governing the continued airworthiness of aircraft on Guernsey s register. The Law specifies these obligations in rather general terms, therefore there is a provision in Section 135 (Publication of Requirements) to the Law which requires the Director to publish Requirements to augment, amplify and detail more precisely the manner in which these obligations shall be met. The Requirements are the means by which the operator
8 Continued Airworthiness Requirements GAR Part 39 Page 2 or maintenance organisation will be able to satisfy the Director as to the fulfilment of the obligations in respect of continued airworthiness and the entitlement of the holder to hold and exercise the privileges of a certificate. (h) The issue of a certificate indicates only compliance with the relevant requirements. The possession of a certificate does not relieve the operator, owner of an aircraft or the pilot-in-command from the responsibility for compliance with the Law and any other legislation in force. Neither does it relieve them of their responsibility for the safe conduct of any particular flight, as the ultimate responsibility for the safety of flight operations always rests with the operator and the pilot-in-command Definitions Definitions, in the context of this Part of the GARs shall have the meanings listed in GAR Part 1 (Definitions, Abbreviations and Units of Measurement).
9 Continued Airworthiness Requirements GAR Part 39 Page 3 Subpart B Continued Airworthiness Management Management personnel (a) Section 7(1)(a) of the Air Navigation (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2012 states that an aircraft registered in Guernsey in respect of which a certificate of airworthiness is in force shall not fly unless (1) the aircraft's continued airworthiness, (including that of its engines, equipment and radio station), is managed by a person or organisation approved by the Director of Civil Aviation in accordance with a maintenance programme under a maintenance control manual or equivalent document approved by the Director of Civil Aviation in relation to that aircraft, (2) For aircraft having an MTOM authorised exceeding 2,700kg, a Technical Coordinator, acceptable to the Director, shall be appointed who shall ensure that appropriate arrangements for continued airworthiness management required by this GAR Part are in place. (b) Applicants may choose to use the services of a continued airworthiness management organisation to satisfy the requirements in 39.51(a), (1) Option 1 Subpart E: an organisation based on the acceptance of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) requirements of Part M Subpart G and the EASA regulatory oversight of that organisation. (2) Option 2 Subpart E: an organisation that does not hold an approval identified in paragraph 39.1(c)(1). (c) The appointed nominated person for continued airworthiness of Guernsey registered aircraft operating under a foreign air operator certificate and the provisions of an ICAO Article 83bis agreement shall establish and maintain arrangements for the continued airworthiness management of Guernsey registered aircraft as required by Subpart F of this GAR Part General continued airworthiness arrangements (a) The owner or lessee of an aircraft above 2,700 kg MTOM authorised shall have arrangements for continued airworthiness management to the requirements of Subpart E of this Part. (b) The Technical Co-ordinator identified in paragraph 39.51(a)(2) shall ensure that suitable arrangements for continued airworthiness management by either: (1) holding an approval granted by the Director to the requirements of Subpart E of this Part; or (2) establishing a contract between the operator and an organisation that holds an appropriate approval granted by the Director to the requirements of Subpart E of this Part to discharge all functional responsibilities of continued airworthiness management.
