AMC M.A.901(b) Aircraft airworthiness review

Q: When is an aircraft considered to be outside a controlled environment according to AMC M.A.901(b)?

An aircraft should be considered to be outside a controlled environment if its continuing airworthiness is not managed according to an Appendix I Continuing airworthiness contract.

Q: Is an Appendix I Continuing airworthiness contract always required for an aircraft to remain in a controlled environment?

No, such a contract is not necessary when the operator and the CAMO are the same organisation.

Q: Does the fact that limited pilot-owner maintenance is not carried out and released by an approved maintenance organisation affect the controlled environment status of an aircraft?

No, it does not change the status of an aircraft in a controlled environment, providing the CAMO under contract has been informed of any such maintenance carried out.

Q: Under what condition does limited pilot-owner maintenance not change the controlled environment status of an aircraft?

The condition is that the CAMO under contract has been informed of any such maintenance carried out.
