AMC M.A.803 Pilot-owner authorisation

ED Decision 2021/009/R

1.       Privately operated means the aircraft is operated pursuant to M.A.201(i).

2.       A Pilot-owner may only issue a CRS for maintenance he/she has performed.

3.       In the case of a jointly-owned aircraft, the maintenance programme should list:

-            The names of all Pilot-owners competent and designated to perform Pilot-owner maintenance in accordance with the basic principles described in Appendix VIII of Part-M. An alternative would be the maintenance programme to contain a procedure to ensure how such a list of competent Pilot-owners should be managed separately and kept current.

-            The limited maintenance tasks they may perform.

4.       An equivalent valid pilot licence may be any document attesting a pilot qualification recognised by the Member State. It does not have to be necessarily issued by the competent authority, but it should in any case be issued in accordance with the particular Member State’s system. In such a case, the equivalent certificate or qualification number should be used instead of the pilot's licence number for the purpose of the M.A.801(b)(2) (certificate of release to service).

5.       Not holding a valid medical examination does not invalidate the pilot licence (or equivalent) required under M.A.803(a)1 for the purpose of the Pilot-owner authorisation.
