AMC 145.B.30(2) Continuation of an approval    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

1. Where the CAA has decided that a series of audit visits are necessary to arrive at a complete audit of an organisation, the programme should indicate which aspects of the approval will be covered on each visit.

2. It is recommended that part of an audit concentrates on two ongoing aspects of the Part-145 approval, namely the organisation’s internal self-monitoring quality reports produced by the quality monitoring personnel to determine if the organisation is identifying and correcting its problems and secondly the number of concessions granted by the quality manager.

3. At the successful conclusion of the audit including approval of the exposition, an audit report form should be completed by the auditing surveyor including all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendation. A CAA Form 6 should be used for this activity.

4. The accountable manager should be seen at least once every 24 months to ensure he/she fully understands the significance of the approval.

5. In the case of line stations the CAA can adopt a sampling programme based upon number of line stations and complexity.
