10.3 Approved Maintenance Organisations II

• An individual whose authorized tasks do not exceed those of a Part 66 Category A certifying employee only needs to demonstrate three years’ maintenance experience.
• Maintenance certifying employees must receive type training corresponding to Part 66, Appendix III, for every aircraft on which they are authorized to make certification.
• Individuals whose authorized tasks do not exceed those of a Part 66 Category A certifying employee may receive task training instead of complete type training.

Approved Maintenance Organizations II (10.3)

• Learning objective 10.3.1 aims to explain the structure and intent of Part 145 of CASR 1998 (Level 2).

AMO Certification Authorisations

• Before issuing or reissuing a certification authorisation, AMOs must ensure that certifying employees adequately understand the aircraft and/or aeronautical products and the AMO's procedures.
• This requirement extends to employees with specialist maintenance tasks authorisation.
• AMOs must ensure that employees holding a certification authorisation have at least six months of relevant aircraft or aeronautical product maintenance experience within the preceding two years.
• Experience must involve aircraft or aeronautical product maintenance, focusing on the aircraft type systems/products specified in the employee's certification authorisation.
• AMOs must ensure employees performing maintenance services have up-to-date knowledge of technology, the AMO's procedures, and human factors principles relevant to their duties.
• All certifying employees must be assessed for competence, qualifications, and capability to perform their duties before certification authorisation issuance or reissuance.

Certification Authorisation

• An AMO is allowed to issue a certification authorisation specifying its scope and limits
• If an AMO provides a certification authorisation, it must give the employee the authorization details in writing:
• Scope and limitations of the certification authorisation in an easily understood way
• Issue and expiration dates
• Reference number
• Employee name.

Records of Certifying Employees

• An AMO also must maintain records of all certifying employees, including:
• Training history with the AMO,
• Any certification authorisation issued with authorization number, scope and limitations
• License, qualification, experience and authorization details
• Records of certifying employees must be securely kept for at least two years after they no longer hold a certification authorisation from the AMO
• Provide a copy of records to certifying employees upon request.
• Provide a documented or electronic version of their certification authorization to certifying employees.

CASA Requests for Copies of Certification Authorisations

• An AMO or certifying employee must produce copies of certification authorisation to a CASA-authorised person within 24 hours of their request.

Minimum Age for a Certification Authorisation

• An AMO can not issue certification authorisation if the employee is not at least 21 years of age or older

Category A Aircraft Maintenance Licence

• A holder of a Category A aircraft maintenance license may only be issued a certification authorization for specific type of aircraft with completion from a Part 145 Maintenance Organisation or a Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation.
• This training will include hands-on and theoretical training and satisfactory completion of training must be demonstrated by examination and a workplace assessment.

Permitted Training

• CASA will assess and decide whether a new aircraft type entering service needs type training.
• Due to the costs involved in obtaining CASA approval of a type course, MTOs may lack the resources to develop a type-rated course or determine the demand is insufficient.
• Courses for older type-rated aircraft may be deleted by MTOs on economical ground.
• Flexible training options supported by experienced AMO personnel are available given to the gap between the supply and demand of type training.
• CASA has provided an AMO to deliver training for aircraft listed within Table 2 of Appendix IX of the Part 66 MOS
• If a Part 145 AMO considers delivering aircraft type training that results in a type rating, removes type rating exclusions, or utilizes manufacturer training, the AMO Exposition must incorporate procedures.
• The Certificate of Approval holder must be satisfied of the employee’s training completion.
• If a CAR 30 Organisation is contemplating delivering/controlling aircraft type training and assessment that removes type-rating exclusions or utilises manufacturer training, then the training must be in accordance with the COA holder's Quality Control Manual.
• The COA holder must give a notice of completion of training and assessment to the employee and to CASA of successful completion and maintenance services, with certification of maintenance, or issued CRSs for a period of six months.
• Once notice is provided, CASA will consider removing exclusions from the license, or issue the relevant rating.

Category A Licence Training Syllabus, Training and Assessment

• An AMO can provide aircraft type-specific training and assessment for line maintenance for authorisation to perform maintenance certification and issue CRS.
• Details of the training syllabus and procedures are to be set out in the AMO's Exposition.

Flight Crew Maintenance Training Syllabus, Training and Assessment
