Defence Aviation Safety Regulation DASR M – Continuing Airworthiness May 2016

DASR M – Continuing Airworthiness Requirements Scope DASR M – Continuing Airworthiness Requirements Overview of DASR M Expansion on Subparts Key Appointments/Organisational Responsibilities Note: there is a difference between what are CAMO responsibilities and who actually conducts the work

Subpart A SUBPART A - General Basic scope statement for DASR M Establishes the measures to be taken to ensure that airworthiness is maintained, including maintenance Specifies the conditions to be met by organisations involved in continuing airworthiness management

Subpart B SUBPART B – Accountability The Operating Organisation is accountable for the continuing airworthiness of an aircraft The Operating Organisation shall be a CAMO (Subpart G) The Operating Organisation shall: have an internal DASR 145 approval or contract/task (through a CAMO) an approved 145 Master/slave relationship - CAMO is the master, AMO is the slave Contains flexibility to contract/task maintenance organisations deemed equivalent to DASR 145 Access requirements for the Authority Occurrence reporting Key Differences/Similarities to TAREG System TAREG has provisions for other than TAREG AMOs to conduct maintenance Occurrence reporting in DASR is regulated only for conditions that endanger flight safety. Key Differences/Similarities to TAREG System TAREG has provisions for other than TAREG AMOs to conduct maintenance Occurrence reporting in DASR is regulated only for conditions that endanger flight safety. TAREGs arguably require deeper level of reporting - Ref 5.3.1.c where AMOs are required to report conditions including those that do not directly endanger flight safety. M.A.201(g) - Maintenance of military aircraft, and components thereof shall be carried out by a DASR 145, or equivalent 145, AMO. AMC GM AMC 201(g) This is a placeholder for AMC that will explain those approvals considered equivalent to DASR 145 and activities to be conducted by a CAMO prior to authorising the conduct of maintenance by a DASR 145 equivalent Approved Maintenance Organisation (where the NMAA has already conducted recognition activities of an NAA or external NMAA). Where the NMAA has not conducted recognition activities of an NAA or external NMAA the AMC will clarify how equivalence should be demonstrated by the CAMO to the satisfaction of the NMAA. The NMAA expectation is that this clause will cover maintenance organisations operating under the following: A commercial 145 maintenance organisation under an ICAO based 145 maintenance approval (such as a CASR 145, FAA 145 Repair Station or EASA 145 Approved Maintenance Organisation) A military or commercial maintenance organisation under an EMAR 145 regulatory framework. Current airworthiness recognition activities within Air and Space Interoperability Council (ASIC) nations (US DoD, CA, NZDF, UKMoD, ADF) are underway to recognise maintenance structures against EMAR 145 principles . M.A.201(l) - By derogation to paragraph (g) and (h)2, the NMAA may agree to an alternative approach for a maintenance organisation to demonstrate its capability, equivalent to DASR 145, to perform maintenance of military aircraft and components thereof, in lieu of holding a DASR 145 approval AMC M.A.201(l) This is a placeholder for AMC that will explain how a CAMO can demonstrate to the NMAA the suitability of a maintenance organisation where compliance with 201(g) is not possible or feasible. The NMAA expectation is that this clause will cover maintenance organisations in the following scenarios: A military or commercial maintenance organisation operating under an NMAA construct that is not recognised against an EMAR 145 framework. A commercial maintenance organisation performing specialised maintenance activities which cannot be conducted under an existing DASR 145 AMO (using sub-contractor provisions in 145.A.75). This scenario only applies when the lead DASR 145 AMO does not have its own expertise to determine that the sub-contractor meets the necessary standards.

CAMO Tasks Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Record System Accomplishment of Maintenance Aircraft Maintenance Program Management of Defects Airworthiness Review Pre-Flight Inspection Reliability Program Analysis of AMP CAMO Tasks Occurrence Reporting Aircraft Tech Log Airworthiness Directives Maintenance Check Flights Modification, Repair & Inspection Coordinate scheduled maintenance Weight & Balance/ Symmetry Checks From a technical perspective, the CAMO is ‘responsible’ for the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft under its control (serial numbers). The MTC Holder is accountable for the ‘continued airworthiness’ of the Military Type Certificate for that type of aircraft.. The CAMOs job is to manage the aircraft in such away to ensure it remains: airworthy (true to the MTC), fit for task usage is optimised.

Subpart G DASR M – SUBPART G - CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS MANAGEMENT EXPOSITION (CAME) Scope of work Organisation chart showing chains of responsibility Procedures specifying how CAMO ensures compliance with DASR M List of approved AMPs List of all contractors/tasked organisations Names of all Operating Organisations to which the CAMO provides support Key Differences/Similarities to TAREG System CAME will consist of/reference a combination of elements contained in AMO MMP and AEO EMP. It will also detail a number of processes that are currently conducted but not regulated, e.g. fleet planning.

DASR M – SUBPART H – CERTIFICATE OF RELEASE TO SERVICE Subpart H is applicable to DASR 145 equivalent maintenance organisations DASR 145 AMO CRS issued in accordance with DASR 145 DASR 145 equivalent AMO (M.A.201(g) and (l) clauses) CRS issued in accordance with Subpart H Aircraft certificate of release to service Component certificate of release to service Key Differences/Similarities to TAREG System CRS is broadly equivalent to maintenance certification under TAREG Aircraft CRS is broadly equivalent to maintenance release

DASR M - SUBPART I – MILITARY AIRWORTHINESS REVIEW CERTIFICATE (MARC) Aircraft airworthiness review, including a review of the aircraft records and a physical survey of the aircraft Valid for one year, can be extended twice Findings MARC may be issued by a CAMO (with privileges), by airworthiness review staff (approved by the NMAA) or by the NMAA, depending on the situation Key Differences/Similarities to TAREG System Airworthiness Reviews are not conducted in TAREG system. The closest comparison is Navy’s annual husbandry checks.

CAMO Key Positions Accountable Manager Continuing Airworthiness Manager Quality Manager Airworthiness Review Staff Maintenance Programme Approval Employee

Accountable Manager The AM has corporate authority to ensure that Continuing Airworthiness activities: can be funded and that they are funded carried out in compliance with the applicable rules for continuing airworthiness (i.e. DASR M) The AM shall have the appropriate levers for human and financial resources The CAMO AM should also be the AM for the Military Air Operator’s Certificate (MAOC) holder

Continuing Airworthiness Manager Responsible for the management and supervision of continuing airworthiness activities. This person heads the CAMO Responsible for determining: what maintenance is required when it has to be performed by whom to what standard in order to ensure the continued airworthiness of the aircraft being operated. Maintain visibility and oversight of all contracted CAMO functions/activities

Quality Manager monitor compliance with, and the adequacy of, procedures required to ensure airworthy aircraft monitoring that all contracted maintenance is carried out in accordance with the contract monitoring the continued compliance with the requirements of DASR M
