For aircraft other than complex motor-powered aircraft used in commercial specialised operations, what must the operator ensure regarding the performance of continuing airworthiness tasks?

The operator must ensure that the tasks associated with continuing airworthiness are performed by a CAMO approved in accordance with Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) or Subpart G of Annex I (Part-M), or a CAO approved in accordance with Annex Vd (Part-CAO). If the operator is not one of these, it must conclude a written contract in accordance with Appendix I to Annex I with such a CAMO or CAO.

For aircraft other than complex motor-powered aircraft used in CAT operations by operators that are not air carriers licensed under Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, which organisations are permitted to perform continuing airworthiness tasks?

The tasks may be performed by a CAMO approved in accordance with Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) or Subpart G of Annex I (Part-M), or a CAO approved in accordance with Annex Vd (Part-CAO).

What maintenance approval or contractual arrangement must the CAMO or CAO responsible for continuing airworthiness have under point (h)(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/700?

The CAMO or CAO must be approved in accordance with Annex II (Part-145) or Subpart F of Annex I (Part-M), or as a CAO with maintenance privileges. Alternatively, that CAMO or CAO must have concluded a written contract with organisations approved in accordance with Annex II (Part-145), Subpart F of Annex I (Part-M), or Annex Vd (Part-CAO) with maintenance privileges.

In the context of point (h) of Regulation (EU) 2021/700, what is the role of a CAO with maintenance privileges?

A CAO with maintenance privileges can either perform the continuing airworthiness tasks itself (if it is the CAMO or CAO referred to in point (2)) or be the organisation with which that CAMO or CAO concludes a written contract for maintenance, as permitted under point (3).

Q: Under Regulation (EU) 2021/700, what condition must be met before any flight takes place for aircraft other than complex motor-powered aircraft used in CAT operations not performed by air carriers licensed under Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008?

The operator shall ensure that no flight takes place unless the conditions set out in point (a) of Regulation (EU) 2021/700 are met.

Q: When an operator of a non-complex motor-powered aircraft used for commercial specialised operations is not itself a CAMO or CAO, what contractual arrangement is required?

The operator shall conclude a written contract in accordance with Appendix I to Annex I with a CAMO approved in accordance with Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) or Subpart G of Annex I (Part-M), or a CAO approved in accordance with Annex Vd (Part-CAO).

Q: Which operators are excluded from the scope of point (h) of Regulation (EU) 2021/700?

Point (h) applies to aircraft other than complex motor-powered aircraft used for commercial specialised operations or for CAT operations other than those performed by air carriers licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, or by commercial ATOs and commercial DTOs referred to in Article 10a of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011.
