Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com looks at the requirements & best practices related to the provision of Safety Management System (SMS) training for Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) Staff.
Introduction
The provision of training to appropriate staff, regardless of their level in the organization, is an indication of management‘s commitment to an effective SMS.
It is also has a direct bearing on the ultimate effectiveness of the SMS within the Organisation.
SofemaOnline looks at the challenges related to the potential uncertainty of the status of instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) and needs, therefore, to avoid there being too much room for interpretation in the rules and standards, leading to differences and possible safety risks.
The specific objective is to establish clear requirements and responsibilities for all parties involved in the production of ICA, their approval and their implementation.
The Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) proposes to amend Annex I (Part 21) of Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 to clarify that ICA are part of the type certificate (TC) and to develop the related acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM).
It also merges the requirements related to record-keeping, manuals and ICA in the various subparts into a single requirement for each of these aspects in Subpart A (new points 21.A.5, 6 and 7).
