Appendix I

Organisations approval class and ratings system
      1 Except for small AMOs referred to in clause 2, Table 1 outlines the full extent of approval possible under Part 145 in a standardised form. An AMO may be granted an approval ranging from a single class and rating with limitations to multiple classes and ratings with limitations. The approval class, rating and limitations sections of an approval certificate specify the scope of maintenance approved for a Part 145 AMO to provide maintenance services for aircraft, aeronautical products or specialist maintenance.
      2 An AMO that employs only 1 person to both plan and carry out all maintenance can only hold a limited scope of approval ratings. The maximum permissible limits are as shown in Table 2.
      3 In addition to the ratings and limitations listed on the certificate, the organisation is required by subparagraph 145.A.70 (a) 10 to set out the scope of the approval in its exposition, showing particularly the locations at which the AMO conducts maintenance as specified on the approval certificate. This statement of capability must conform to, and not exceed the rating limitations specified on, the approval certificate.
      4 In addition to the statement of capability required under clause 3 above, an AMO may have a capability list and management procedure as part of its procedures under subparagraph 145.A.70 (a) 13 to manage a detailed capability list. The scope of work specified in the capability list further defines the exact limits of approval. The capability list must not specify work that falls outside of class and rating limitations specified on the approval certificate. When a capability list is used, amendment will be in accordance with a procedure approved by CASA in the AMO's exposition. The procedure will have to address the issues of who is responsible for capability list amendment control and the actions that need to be taken for amendment. Such actions include ensuring compliance with Part 145 of CASR 1998 for products or services added to the list.
      5 The category A rating means that the AMO may carry out aircraft maintenance as specified in accordance with maintenance data for the aircraft. An A rating also permits the AMO to provide maintenance services for specialist maintenance that is covered by the category A rating. Category A class ratings are subdivided into base or line maintenance and the AMO may be approved for either
