DESCRIPTION
This 14-day course, designed for airworthiness inspectors, covers the basic concepts and steps involved in certificating
an approved maintenance organization and an air transport operator. Participants will be taught the five-phase certification process based upon ICAO recommended practices and Model Civil Aviation Regulations (MCAR’s). Part one covers approved maintenance organization (AMO) certification and part two covers air transport operator certification (AOC). During the course, participants will follow a “mock” maintenance organization and then a “mock operator” seeking certification throughout each phase of the certification process. Exercises will be conducted in which participants must evaluate excerpts of “mock” maintenance organizations and operator’s manuals. Participant exercises will also provide practice with evaluating observations of the maintenance organization’s and the operator’s demonstrations to ensure compliance with the MCARs and advisory material. This course is designed using the ICAO TRAINAIR course development methodology.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the course, participants
will be able to:
- Evaluate a Perspective Operators Pre-Assessment Statement Form.
- Identify Pre-Application Meeting
Objectives
- Review a mock AMO formal application
and identify formal application
meeting objectives.
- Evaluate portions of an applicant’s
MPM and identify unacceptable errors.
- Evaluate an applicant’s training curriculum
and determine if initial approval
can be granted.
- Evaluate the results of a main base
inspection and determine inspector
actions.
- Complete a mock AMO certificate and
SOPs and identify items that must be
included in the certification report.
- Evaluate narrative and reference statements.
- Evaluate and excerpt from a mock
operator’s Maintenance Control
Manual.
- Evaluate a mock operator’s proposed
MEL and identify CDL limitations.
- Evaluate an inspection report from a
mock operator’s conformity inspection.
- Identify recommendations involving
inspector observations/reports of
demonstration flights.
- Complete a mock operator’s certificate
and SOPs and identify items to include
in the certification report.
