AMC M.A.711(b) Privileges of the organisation ED Decision 2015/029/R An organisation may be approved for the privileges of [M.A.711(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545123) only, without the privilege to carry out airworthiness reviews. This can be contracted to another appropriately approved organisation. In such a case, it is not mandatory that the contracted organisation is linked to an AOC holder, being possible to contract an appropriately approved independent continuing airworthiness management organisation which is approved for the same aircraft type. In order to be approved for the privileges of [M.A.711(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545123) for a particular aircraft type, it is necessary to be approved for the privileges of [M.A.711(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545123) for that aircraft type. As a consequence, the normal situation in this case is that the organisation will be performing continuing airworthiness management tasks and performing airworthiness reviews on every aircraft type contained in the approval certificate. 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. 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 [Subpart G](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545053) requirements (facilities, documentation, qualified personnel, quality system, etc.) required for initial approval. ##### AMC M.A.711(b) Privileges of the organisation *ED Decision 2015/029/R* An organisation may be approved for the privileges of [M.A.711(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm1203440010) only, without the privilege to carry out airworthiness reviews.
