NOTES.
1.All material contained within this document is for guidance purposes only. It sets out a template that the MOD CAM may follow in order to define their organizationandthe procedures used for the management of continuing airworthiness. The content should be expanded as required toreflect the CAMO procedures and identify who is undertaking the activity.
2.Where the CAMO is conducting an activity that is not in compliance with the MRP then a waiver, exemption or Alternative AMC (AAMC) must be applied for, and approved by the MAA, in accordance with MAA 03. Failure to do so will delay an initial approval or invalidate an existing approval. Where a waiver, exemption or AAMC has been granted, this must be clearly articulated and referenced in the CAME.
3.A CAMO which is responsible for multiple aircraft types and marks may submit a single CAME, providing it details all the aircraft being managed (by serial number) and clearly defines how/what activity is conducted for each type/mark.
4.When determining the content of the CAME the MOD CAMshould take into account the requirement of the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) associated with the relevant MRP RAs and use the principle of “Who, What, Where, and How”. This will ensure that for each paragraph heading the MOD CAM articulates:
a.What activates are being done.
b.Who is doing them.
c.What they are being carried out in accordance with, this may be MRP RAs, Topic 2(N/A/R)1 leaflets, AESO, AERO or local orders.
5.Bulleted lists, rather than extensive paragraphs, describing the activity are acceptable.
6.After completing the CAME the organization should completea Compliance Check List (CCL), available from the MAA website. The completed CCL should then be included as an appendix in Part 5 of the CAME.
7.MAA CAMO approval staff will reviewthe CAME and supporting documentation and conduct an on-site visit,in order to confirm that the CAMO is in compliance with the MRP Part M regulation. This process will be required before an initial approval is issued and may be required for a change to an existing approval.
8.All text in red within this specimen document template should be deleted prior to submission to the MAA.
9.Any queries with this document should be addressed to: .
