GM1 ML.A.201(f)  Responsibilities

ED Decision 2020/002/R

If an owner (see definition in point ML.1(c)(3)) decides not to make a contract with a CAMO or CAO, the owner is fully responsible for the proper accomplishment of the corresponding continuing airworthiness management tasks. As a consequence, it is expected that the owner properly and realistically self-assesses his or her own competence to accomplish those tasks or otherwise seek the necessary expertise.
