ED Decision 2022/011/R
ACCEPTANCE AND AUTHORISATION OF AIRWORTHINESS REVIEW STAFF (ARS)
The process of acceptance and authorisation of a new ARS within a Part-145 organisation includes the following steps (the order of certain steps may vary):
- The organisation verifies the compliance of the candidate ARS with point 145.A.37(a);
- The candidate ARS is assessed while performing an airworthiness review (AR) under supervision (supervision by the competent authority or supervision by an ARS already authorised by the organisation) (145.A.37(b));
- The organisation submits an application for change (requiring prior approval) to the competent authority (ref. 145.A.85) together with the proposed amendment to the MOE (candidate ARS introduced in the list of ARS — ref. 145.A.70(a)(6));
- Based on the results of the AR and its supervision, the competent authority accepts the candidate (regardless of whether the supervision was done by the competent authority or by the organisation);
- The competent authority approves the MOE;
- The organisation issues the AR authorisation to the ARS.
