       7.1A COA holder may issue a certification authorisation to an excluded type employee (the employee) for carrying out maintenance on an excluded type of aircraft or aircraft engine mentioned in Table 2 of Appendix IX of the Part 66 MOS in accordance with this subsection.

       7.2However, a COA holder must not issue a certification authorisation mentioned in Table 2 of Appendix IX of the Part 66 MOS whose reference is annotated with the words "MTO only".

Note   Annotated powerplants (engines) require CASA approved type training which may only be delivered by a CASR Part 147 MTO.

       7.3A certification authorisation for the employee may only be issued once, and only for a period of 6 months.

       7.4Before issuing the certification authorisation, the COA holder must be satisfied that the employee has been successfully trained and assessed by the manufacturer of the aircraft or the aircraft engine to perform maintenance on the aircraft or the aircraft engine.

       7.5The manufacturer's training and assessment mentioned in paragraph 7.4, and any additional or supplemental training and assessment by the COA holder, must be in accordance with the COA holder's quality control manual as approved in writing by CASA for training and assessment under this subsection.

       7.6Before issuing a certification authorisation to an excluded type employee, the COA holder must be, in respect of maintenance on the excluded type to be performed by the employee:

(a) a CASA delegate for subregulation 42ZC (6) of CAR 1988, who may authorise a person for the purposes of paragraph 42ZC (3) (d) or 42ZC (4) (e) (as the case requires); or

(b) an authorised person for subregulation 42ZC (7), who may authorise a person for the purposes of paragraph 42ZC (3) (d).

       7.7If it appears to a COA holder that an employee has, after successfully completing the training and assessment in the excluded system, in accordance with paragraphs 7.1, 7.4 and 7.5, successfully carried out maintenance on the excluded type, the COA holder may, after at least 5 months of the authorisation period have elapsed, provide CASA and the employee with a provisional notice in the approved form of satisfactory completion of training and assessment.

       7.8If, not earlier than 3 days before the authorisation period lapses, the COA holder wishes to confirm that the employee has satisfactorily completed their training and assessment, the COA holder must provide CASA and the employee with a confirmation notice in the approved form of satisfactory completion of training.

       7.9A notice referred to in paragraph 7.8 may be provided by electronic transmission to an address provided by CASA for that purpose.

       7.10An authorisation period of 6 months cannot be extended.
