ED Decision 2020/002/R
1. Part 0 ‘General organisation’ of the continuing airworthiness management exposition should include a corporate commitment by the CAMO, signed by the accountable manager, confirming that the continuing airworthiness management exposition and any associated manuals define the organisation’s compliance with Part-M and, as applicable, with Part-ML and will be complied with at all times.
2. The accountable manager’s exposition statement should embrace the intent of the following paragraph, and in fact this statement may be used without amendment. Any amendment to the statement should not alter its intent:
‘This exposition defines the organisation and procedures upon which the competent authority’s* CAMO approval is based.
These procedures are approved by the undersigned and should be complied with, as applicable, in order to ensure that all continuing airworthiness tasks are carried out on time to an approved standard.
It is accepted that these procedures do not override the necessity of complying with any new or amended regulation published from time to time where these new or amended regulations are in conflict with these procedures.
It is understood that the competent authority* will approve this organisation whilst the competent authority* is satisfied that the procedures are followed and the work standard is maintained. It is understood that the competent authority* reserves the right to suspend, limit or revoke the CAMO approval or the air operator certificate, as applicable, if the competent authority* has evidence that the procedures are not followed and standards not upheld.
Signed .....................................
Dated ......................................
Accountable manager and ... (quote position) ...
For and on behalf of ... (quote organisation’s name) ... ’
*Where ‘competent authority’ is stated, please insert the actual name of the approving competent authority organisation or administration delivering the CAMO approval or the air operator certificate.’
3. Whenever the accountable manager is changed, it is important to ensure that the new accountable manager signs the paragraph 2 statement at the earliest opportunity as part of the acceptance by the approving competent authority. Failure to carry out this action invalidates the CAMO approval or the air operator certificate.
AMC M.A.704(a)(1) requires a CAMO exposition to include a signed corporate commitment by the accountable manager, defining compliance with Part-M/ML and procedures for continuing airworthiness tasks.
