The independent audit system is a process of a sample audit of all aspects of the repair station's ability to carry out all maintenance to the required standards. It represents an overview of the complete maintenance system and does not replace the need for mechanics to ensure that they carry out maintenance to the required standard, nor does it replace any associated inspection / quality control system. Independence will be established by ensuring that audits are not carried out by the personal responsible for the function, procedure or product being audited. 2. The audit system must cover the following. • Procedural audits: The audits will monitor compliance with required aircraft/aircraft components standards and adequacy of the maintenance procedures to ensure that such procedures invoke good maintenance practices and result in airworthy aircraft/aircraft components. • Product audits: The sample check of a product means to witness any relevant testing and visually inspect the product and associated documentation. The sample check should not involve repeat disassembly or testing unless the sample check identifies requiring such action. 3. It is acceptable to use personnel from one section/department to audit the work and products of another section/department in accordance with a procedure under this paragraph which defines the audit program. 4. The process of sample audits will be subdivided over a year period IAW with an audit program. All applicable 14 CFR PART 43 and 145 provisions and the EASA special conditions as detailed in the EASA/FAA MAG should be checked at least once per year against each primary product line. 5. A primary product line is any one avionic or mechanical product line where the systems and procedures are very similar throughout that product line. 6. Not applicable to ICON Aerospace LLC (ICON Aerospace LLC has more than 10 employees and will conduct all audits using in house personnel.)

The management control follow up system which must not be contracted to outside persons, consists of a system to ensure that all findings/discrepancies resulting from the independent audit system are corrected in a timely manner and to enable the accountable manager to remain informed of the state of compliance and any safety issues. The Accountable Manager should hold routine meetings to check the progress on clearing outstanding findings/discrepancies. The accountable manager should meet at least once per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance 2. N/A (ICON Aerospace LLC does not have additional locations.) 3.

One example of the particular product line must be used as the basis of each audit except in the case of stores audits when a random selection of parts should be used for the audit. An example audit program is attached. 6. A report must be prepared for each audit carried out describing what was audited and any resulting findings/discrepancies. The report should be sent to relevant department for rectification action giving target rectification dates. The relevant departments are required to rectify the findings/discrepancies and inform the quality department. 7. A product should be selected in each workshop and the sample audit program conducted at least once per year (twice per year in the case of a repair station with fewer than 10 employees and which chooses to contract the audit to an outside person except that in the case of procedures which are common throughout the repair station, the procedures need only be audited once per year if there are no problems.)

Human performance and limitations: The monitoring of employee performance to ensure not only acceptable performance, but also includes the well-being of the employee from not being over-worked. Environment: The provision and maintenance of an infrastructure required to achieve product conformity. This infrastructure includes workspaces and associated utilities, including temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and lighting. Procedures, information, tools and practices: Ensuring that all staff are familiar with, and have ready access to company and departmental procedures, and that the relevant procedures are effectively implemented. Ensure availability of equipment to include tools, test equipment, process equipment and supporting services such as transport or communication identification of resources to support operation and maintenance of the product.

Organization’s Human Factors program: Personnel are trained to ensure and understand all applications of human factors principles. These training sessions are documented and maintained in the individual personnel training records. Recurrent training interval is every 2 years. Various procedures exist that allow for detection and rectification of maintenance errors which may endanger the safe operation of an aircraft. All items serviced at ICON Aerospace LLC are inspected during service and again at final inspection to insure detection of any maintenance error prior to release of unit. In the event that a maintenance error is detected the inspector will ensure the error is corrected and evaluate the situation to determine the root cause. Once determined corrective action is taken to insure the error doesn’t happen again.

Personnel are at liberty to take breaks and time for lunch as required including vacation and personal time. An open-door policy is maintained with personnel ensuring freedom of communication with supervisors in the event of illness, stress or fatigue. These cases will be handled by The Accountable Manager which determines the appropriate resolution. In the event that a person requires time away from work because of any given reason this person must then be cleared for return to work by The Accountable Manager. NOTE: The recurrent human factors training must not be a simple repetition of the initial training. Instead, it must be built upon errors/lessons learned and the experiences within the organization (or group of organizations). This should help ensure that the results of internal quality audits and occurrence reports are brought to the attention of all staff.
