AMC 145.B.20(6) Initial approval    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

1. The reports should include the date each finding was cleared together with reference to the CAA report or letter that confirmed the clearance.

2. There may be occasions when the CAA surveyor may find situations in the applicant's organisation on which he/she is unsure about compliance. In this case, the organisation should be informed about possible non-compliance at the time and the fact that the situation will be reviewed within the CAA before a decision is made.

If the decision is a finding of being in compliance then a verbal confirmation to the organisation will suffice.

3. Findings should be recorded on the audit report form with a provisional categorisation as a level 1 or 2. Subsequent to the audit visit that identified the particular findings, the CAA should review the provisional finding levels, adjusting them if necessary and change the categorisation from provisional to confirmed.

4. All findings should be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation within 2 weeks of the audit visit.
