ED Decision 2022/011/R
1. For the purposes of point 145.A.30(j)(5), ‘unforeseen’ means that the grounding of the aircraft could not reasonably have been predicted by the operator because the defect was unexpected, due to it being part of a hitherto reliable system.
2. Issuing a one-off authorisation should only be considered under the responsibility of the compliance monitoring manager of the contracted organisation after a reasoned judgement has been made that such an authorisation is appropriate under the circumstances, while at the same time it maintains the required airworthiness standards. The organisation’s compliance monitoring personnel should assess each situation individually prior to issuing a one-off authorisation, and may request contribution from technical and safety management personnel.
3. A one-off authorisation should not be issued if the level of certification required could exceed the knowledge and experience level of the person it is issued to. In all cases, due consideration should be given to the complexity of the work involved and the availability of the required tooling and/or test equipment needed to complete the work.
