ED Decision 2020/002/R
(a) An organisation may be approved for the privileges of point CAMO.A.125(d) only, without the privilege to carry out airworthiness reviews. In this case, the airworthiness review can be contracted to another appropriately approved organisation. It is not mandatory that this contracted organisation is linked to an AOC holder, and it is possible to contract an appropriately approved independent CAMO which is approved for the same aircraft type.
(b) In order to be approved for the privileges of point CAMO.A.125(e) for a particular aircraft type, it is necessary to be approved for the privileges of point CAMO.A.125(d) for that aircraft type.
(c) Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that the organisation needs to be currently managing an aircraft type in order to be able to perform airworthiness reviews on that aircraft type. The organisation may be performing only airworthiness reviews on an aircraft type without having any customer under contract for that type.
(d) Furthermore, this situation should not necessarily lead to the removal of the aircraft type from the organisation approval. As a matter of fact, since in most cases the airworthiness review staff are not involved in continuing airworthiness management activities, it cannot be argued that these airworthiness review staff are going to lose their skills just because the organisation is not managing a particular aircraft type. The important issue in relation to maintaining a particular aircraft type in the organisation approval is whether the organisation continuously fulfils all the Part-CAMO requirements (facilities, documentation, qualified personnel, management system, etc.) required for initial approval.
Guidance on CAMO.A.125(e) terms of approval: prerequisites for airworthiness review privileges, contracting reviews, and maintaining aircraft type approval without active management.
