        This instrument is the Part 147 Manual of Standards (MOS).

      Subpart A General

       147.A.05 Scope
      (a) This is the MOS for Part 147 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR 1998).
      (b) This MOS sets out the requirements to be met by an organisation holding an approval issued under Part 147 of CASR 1998 to conduct training and assessment.
      (c) Unless otherwise defined in this MOS, words and phrases have the same meaning as in Part 66 of CASR 1998.

       147.A.07 Definitions
        In this MOS:
feedback system, for a quality system, means the process that, in response to the quality system determining a variation in quality that significantly affects training and assessment, informs the accountable manager, responsible managers and independent auditors of the variation and proposes remedial, corrective and preventative actions required to correct deficiencies in control policies, procedures and processes that led to the variation in quality.
MTO means maintenance training organisation.
recognition of prior learning (RPL) means prior learning that has delivered knowledge or competency by a theoretical or practical element, which is at least equivalent to the knowledge, competency, theoretical or practical element that is otherwise required in the absence of RPL.
Note   Under provisions of this MOS, passing examinations, holding units of competency and holding prerequisite qualifications or prerequisite units of competency may be by means of RPL.
teaching staff means instructors and assessors.

       147.A.10 General
       An MTO that seeks approval to conduct category training must be a registered training organisation (RTO). An MTO that seeks approval only to conduct type training does not need to be a RTO.
