AMC1 CAMO.B.305(d) Oversight programme    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

EXTENSION OF THE OVERSIGHT PLANNING CYCLE BEYOND 24 MONTHS

(a) If the CAA applies an oversight planning cycle that exceeds 24 months, it should, at a minimum, perform one focused inspection of the organisation (inspection of a specific area, element or aspect of the organisation) within each 12-month segment of the cycle to support the extended oversight programme.

NOTE: Where another inspection can be linked to the oversight of the organisation (e.g. when an aircraft managed by the organisation is inspected through ACAM survey), then the CAA may take credit of such inspection to maintain the extension beyond 24 months.

(b) If the results of this inspection indicate a decrease in the safety performance or regulatory compliance of the organisation, the CAA should revert to a 24-month (or less) oversight planning cycle and review the oversight programme accordingly.

(c) In order to be able to approve an oversight planning cycle of beyond 36 months, the CAA should agree on the format and contents of the continuous reporting to be made by the organisation on its safety performance and regulatory compliance.
