By derogation from paragraph 1, the continuing airworthiness of aircraft holding aPartpermit145 to fly shall be ensured on the basis of the specific continuingAMCairworthiness145.A.10 ScopeEC 376/20071. The continuing airworthiness of aircraft and components shall be ensured inaccordance with the provisions of Annex I.2. Organisations and personnel involved in the continuing airworthiness of aircraft andcomponents, including maintenance, shall comply with the provisions of Annex I andwhere appropriate those specified in Articles 4 and 5.(b) For temporary or occasional cases (AD’s, SB’s) the Quality Manager may acceptbase maintenance tasks to be performed by a line maintenance organisationprovided all requirements are fulfilled as defined by the competent authority.(d) Aircraft maintained in accordance with ‘progressive’ type programmes should beindividually assessed in relation to this paragraph. In principle, the decision toallow some ‘progressive’ checks to be carried out should be determined by theassessment that all tasks within the particular check can be carried out safely tothe required standards at the designated line maintenance station.2. Where the organisation uses facilities both inside and outside the Member Statesuch as satellite facilities, sub-contractors, line stations etc., such facilities may beincluded in the approval without being identified on the approval certificate subjectED 2010/002/R(c) Maintenance tasks falling outside these criteria are considered to be BaseMaintenance.GM – Guidance Material[pages with thick green bars (dark grey)]the maintenance organisation exposition identifying the cedures to control such facilities and the competent authority being satisfied thatthey form an integral part of the approved maintenance organisation.CAUTION: it should be understood that if the contracted organisationor the above mentioned person loses or gives up its approval, then theorganisation’s approval will be suspended.Section ARecommended operating procedure for a Part-145 approved maintenance organisation based upon up to 10 persons involved in maintenance.PART-1454.1 145.A.30 (b): The normal minimum requirement is for the employment on a fulltime basis of two persons who meet the competent authorities’ requirements forcertifying staff, whereby one holds the position of ‘maintenance engineer’ andthe other holds the position of ‘quality audit engineer’.Either person can assume the responsibilities of the accountable managerproviding that they can comply in full with the applicable elements of145.A.30(a), but the ‘maintenance engineer’ should be the certifying personto retain the independence of the ‘quality audit engineer’ to carry out audits.Nothing prevents either engineer from undertaking maintenance tasks providingthat the ‘maintenance engineer’ issues the certificate of release to service.17The ‘quality audit engineer’ should have similar qualifications and status to the‘maintenance engineer’ for reasons of credibility, unless he/she has a proventrack-record in aircraft quality assurance, in which case some reduction in theextent of maintenance qualifications may be permitted.In cases where the competent authority agrees that it is not practical for theorganisation to nominate a postholder for the quality monitoring function, thisfunction may be contracted in accordance to paragraph 3.1.1.ED 2010/002/R4195
