Part 3 Registration of Aircraft

3.1 Scope of Procedure The proper registration of aircraft is fundamental to the safety of international air operations and compliance must therefore be established with the applicable regulations. In accordance with Annex 7 to the Chicago Convention, an aircraft possess the nationality of the State in which it is registered, therefore States must maintain a registry of aircraft where aircraft with their nationality are registered with appropriate details. An aircraft cannot be legally registered in more than one State, but its registration may be changed from one State to another. Jordan Civil Aviation Law no. 41 of 2007; Articles 37, 38, 39, 52 and 53, and JCAR Part 47 prescribe the requirements for aircraft registration. CARC, among its responsibility in respect of each aircraft on its Register, has a fundamental responsibility to ensure that the aircraft is operated in an airworthy condition This procedure, in respect of aircraft on the Jordanian civil register, describes how CARC will handle application for Certificate of Registration (CofR), the continued surveillance and validity of Certificates of Registration (CARC Form 18-0234), De-registration (CARC Form 18-0238) and issuance of Export Certificate of Airworthiness (CARC Form 18-0231). The ongoing control and supervision of the civil aircraft register is performed in accordance with the provisions of JCAR Part 47. Airworthiness Standards is the responsible directorate for controlling and maintaining the register. The certificate of registration issuance process is documented in CARC Form 18-0208-1. 3.2 Organization and Responsibilities The purpose of this procedure is to provide clear guidelines and instructions for registration of aircraft on the Jordanian Civil Aircraft register and to ensure that the regulatory requirements are complied with. The Director Airworthiness Standards has overall responsibility for the administration and control of the aircraft on the register. He is assisted in this task by the Chief Division. The day to day supervision and control of the registration and de-registration process is assigned to an Airworthiness Inspector. The assigned Inspector is therefore responsible for the following:

- Evaluation and reviewing the application and the documentation submitted by the applicant for a CofR,

- Liaison with the applicant during all phases of the process, - Arranging for on-site survey and review of the applicants aircraft and the technical

documentation, - Maintaining detailed records of all correspondence, reports, meetings, etc. in relation to the

application and continued surveillance, - Making recommendation report as to the suitability of the aircraft for a Certificate of

Registration, - Ensure that the required procedures are adhered to, and - Ensuring that all correspondence, audit reports etc. are compiled on completion of the

investigation and filed in the aircraft documentation.

3.3 Application Phase

1. Each applicant for a Certificate of Aircraft Registration must submit the following documents to CARC: a) A properly completed application form CARC Form 18-0233; b) The Aircraft Bill of Sale, or other evidence of ownership authorized in accordance

with Part 47; c) Settlement of applicable fees ; d) Additional support documentation, when it is proposed to register the aircraft in the

name of a company, confirming the status of the company under the Jordanian law.

2. In accordance with JCAR Part 47, an aircraft shall not be registered or continue to be registered in Jordan Civil Aircraft Register unless it: a) is wholly owned by a citizen of Jordan or a permanent resident in Jordan, or b) is owned or leased with the purpose of purchase or leased for a period of not less than

twelve months by a Jordanian citizen, or c) is owned by a company or corporation registered in Jordan in accordance with the laws

and regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and has a place of business therein.

3. An aircraft shall not be registered in Jordan Civil Aircraft Register: a) If it appears to CARC that it is registered in another state, or b) If it appears to CARC that any applicable requirements under the Civil Aviation Law,

Orders, Regulations or Directions made thereunder, relating to the safety of the operation or the airworthiness of that aircraft, cannot be complied with.

3.4 Investigation Phase CARC shall perform sufficient investigation activities for an applicant for, or holder of, a registration certificate to justify the issuance, maintenance, amendment, suspension or revocation of the certificate. In no case any aircraft may be operated unless there is an appropriate registration certificate issued to and valid for that aircraft. The following procedures are generally applied to the issuance of a certificate of registration, and will consider any other specific procedures which may be prescribed in paragraphs dealing with individual registration categories as specified in JCAR Part 47. The AWSD assigned Inspector evaluates at least the following elements:

1. Eligibility of the applicant to register the aircraft in Jordan, 2. Evaluate the application form (CARC Form 18-0233) in respect of completeness and

accuracy of the information provided, 3. Availability of whatever additional support information as may be required in a particular

case, 4. Evidence of settlement of applicable fees, copy of receipt, 5. Establish if the aircraft was previously registered in Jordan, 6. Acceptability of the aircraft for registration in Jordan, 7. Compliance with Noise requirements as applicable, 8. Scope of the proposed use of the aircraft,

Page 24: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

9. Confirmation that aircraft is not registered elsewhere, 10. Verify that the previous Mode ‘S’ transponder code has been de-activated, if applicable, 11. Arrange with the applicant to make the aircraft available for CARC survey and inspection as

deemed necessary, 12. Determine that the registration marks are properly displayed in accordance with JCAR Part

47, 13. Determine that the aircraft identification plate is in accordance with JCAR Part 47, 14. Ensure that all required information have entered in the aircraft register.

When the above items are resolved to the satisfaction of AWSD and checklist CARC Form 18-0208-1 is properly completed, a certificate of registration may be issued to the aircraft. If the aircraft does not meet the requirements and issuance of a certificate of registration is denied, a letter will be sent to the applicant within 72 hrs, after the decision is made stating the reason(s) for denying the issuance of the certificate. A copy of the denial letter should be attached to the application and filed with the aircraft record. If new application is made , and CARC Airworthiness Inspector has reason to suspect that a letter of denial may exist, the inspector should check the aircraft documentation for the possible existence of such letter for a particular aircraft, as this may assist the Inspector in determining aircraft eligibility. 3.5 Issuance of a Certificate of Registration CARC shall, as applicable, issue, or amend a Certificate of Registration (CARC form 18-0234), without undue delay when it is satisfied that the applicable requirements of JCAR Part 47 are met. The assigned Inspector will complete/ensure completion of, following steps as part of the registration process;

1. Entering the following information in the hard copy registration book; Civil Aircraft Register, and electronic copies as backup in the AWS System; - Registration Number, - Registration Mark, - Registration Date, - Owner name, nationality and address, - Operator name, nationality and address, - Aircraft Information: Country, Name and Date of Manufacture, Aircraft Type, MSN,

The outcome of this phase is the acceptance of the MOE for initial physical audit of the organization. The applicant will be advised of this fact in writing by the assigned Inspector and arrangements will be made to conduct a physical audit of the organization. 5.4.4 Phase IV Audit of the Organization As referenced in Paragraph 5.2, the Chief Division will determine how individual audits shall be conducted and will assign an audit team or an individual Inspector depending on the nature and scale of the organization requiring audit. The physical inspection and audit of the organization will be carried out using CARC Form 18-0268. The organization will be audited to ensure that the requirements of JCAR 145 are satisfied and that the procedures reflected in the MOE are actually being followed. The extent of the audit required will be determined by the nature and scale of the organization’s maintenance activity. The assigned Inspector/Team Leader will determine the areas to be audited and will select a particular product line so that the audit can be concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check and dependent upon the result, the second type may only require a sample check against those activities seen to be weak on compliance for the first type. During the accomplishment of the audit, the auditing Inspector(s) will ensure that the following procedure is followed, so as to ensure that the organization is fully aware of any findings identified.

- The auditor(s) should always be accompanied throughout the audit by a senior technical representative of the organization. This is usually the Quality Manger;

- A meeting with the Accountable Manger shall be convened at least once during the process of approval, to ensure that he/she fully understands the significance of the approval and the reason for signing the exposition commitment of the organization to comply with the procedures specified in the exposition;

- The auditor(s) shall inform the Senior Technical Representative/Quality Manager of the organization at the end of the audit visit of all findings identified during the audit;

Page 36: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

- In the event that the auditor(s) are unsure about compliance in a particular organization, the auditor(s), will inform the organization verbally about possible non-compliance at the time of the audit and the fact that the situation will be reviewed further within CARC before a final decision is made.

5.4.5 Review of Findings On completion of the physical audit of the organization, the assigned Inspector/Team Leader will compile all documentation relating to the audit and ensure that;

- Findings are recorded on the audit report form CARC Form 18-0268 with a provisional categorization as a Level 1 or Level 2;

- Provisional finding levels are reviewed with the Chief Division/Team members as appropriate, adjusted if necessary and changed from provisional to confirmed;

- If the result of the review finds that the organization is in compliance, a verbal confirmation shall be given to the organization;

- All findings of confirmed non-compliance shall be confirmed in writing to the organization within one week of the audit visit;

- Liaison is maintained with the organization on the required corrective actions to address the findings;

- Detailed records of all correspondence, reports, meetings etc in relation to the approval are compiled;

- All findings must be corrected before the approval can be issued. When the assigned Inspector/Team Leader is satisfied that the corrective actions are satisfactory and that the organization is now ready for approval, the following additional steps will be taken in order to progress to Phase V.

- A final report is prepared using CARC Form 18-0268 together with meeting of minutes, correspondence etc. The report shall include the date each finding was cleared together with a reference to the correspondence received from the organization regarding clearance of the finding;

5.5 Continued Surveillance The continuation of an approval shall be monitored in accordance with the AWSD continuous surveillance programme. The programme for JCAR 145 Maintenance Organization Approvals identifies when the audit visits are due and when such visits are carried out and provides for one complete audit once per year and two sample audits in the year. In the case of organizations who also have line stations, the surveillance programme provides for a sampling programme based upon the number of line stations and complexity of same. AWSD policy requires that part of any audit accomplished concentrates on two ongoing aspects of the Part 145 approval, namely the organizations internal self monitoring quality reports produced by the quality monitoring personnel to determine if the organization is identifying and correcting its problems and secondly the number of concessions granted by the Quality Manager. The Chief Division for Maintenance Organization Approvals is responsible for ensuring that the planned surveillance programme is adhered to and will:

- Ensure that each organization is completely reviewed for compliance with JCAR Part 145 at periods of 12 months;

- Ensure that at least one sample audit is accomplished once per year; - Ensure that the Accountable Manager is seen at least once every 12 months and briefed

on any findings or issues requiring attention; - At the successful conclusion of an audit, complete the audit report form CARC Form 18-

0268, including all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendations; - Liaise with the organization as required in relation to audit findings, requests for changes,

amendment to the MOE etc; - Maintain records of all correspondences, reports, etc and ensuring that these are delivered

to the documentation centre for filing.

5.6 Findings When non-compliance findings are noted during the accomplishment of an audit, these findings are categorised as Level 1 or Level 2. A description of these findings is as follows: Level 1 is where CARC finds a significant non-compliance with Part 145. The following are examples of Level 1 findings:

- Failure to gain access to the organization during normal operating hours of the organization after two written requests;

- If the calibration control of equipment as required by Part 145 had previously broken down on a particular type product line such that most “calibrated” equipment was suspect from that time.

Note: A complete product line is defined as all the aircraft, engine, or components of a particular type.

In the case of a suspect Level 1 finding, the auditing Inspector(s) will immediately contact the Chief Division and advise him of the situation. If as a result of discussions with the Chief and further consideration of the issues involved, the finding is confirmed, immediate action shall be taken to revoke, limit or suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding, the maintenance organization approval, until successful corrective action has been taken by the organization. The corrective action required may involve further maintenance and re-certification of all affected products, depending on the nature of the finding. The auditing Inspector(s) shall immediately advise the organization verbally of the outcome and formally advise the organization in writing of the finding within 72 hrs. Level 2 is where CARC finds a non-compliance with Part 145 against one product or component. Examples include:

Page 38: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug. 2016 Page 5-6 of 10

- One time use of a component without a serviceable tag; - The training documents for certifying staff are not completed.

For level 2 findings, the corrective action period granted by the auditing Inspector(s) must be appropriate to the nature of the finding, but in any case must not be more than three months. Where the organization has not implemented the necessary corrective action within the agreed period, the auditing Inspector(s) may agree to extend the period for a further period of up to three months. In this case, consideration will be given to the nature of the finding and the action taken by the organization to address the finding. If the extension is agreed, the Accountable Manager will be advised in writing of the extension. If the extension is not agreed, the organization will be advised verbally initially and the Accountable Manager will be advised in writing within 72 hrs. In exceptional circumstance and subject to a realistic corrective action plan being in place, CARC may specifically vary the maximum six month corrective action period. If this situation arises, the findings, corrective action plan and past performance of the organization are reviewed with the Chief Division/Team members as appropriate. If such an extension period is agreed, the auditing Inspector will arrange to formally advise the Accountable Manger in writing. 5.7 Changes CARC policy requires that changes to the organization be monitored and controlled. The approved maintenance organizations are required to advise CARC of any proposed changes as specified in the organizations MOE. These changes include:

- The name of the organization; - The main location of the organization; - Additional locations of the organization; - The Accountable Manager; - Key Management Personnel; - The facilities, equipment, tools, material, procedures, work scope or certifying staff that

could affect the approval. Depending on the extent of the change, CARC will apply the applicable elements of the initial approval review process. CARC will also prescribe the conditions which may be applied during such changes unless it determines that the approval should be suspended. The approved maintenance organizations will normally communicate any proposed changes through the office of the Director Airworthiness Standards. The assigned inspector will liaise with the Chief Division on any special conditions which may be applied and also arrange for the accomplishment of any audits required to establish compliance with Part 145 requirements and ensure that:

- The applicable parts of CARC Form 18-0268 are completed, including all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendations;

- Appropriate liaison is maintained with the organization as required in relation to audit findings;

- Letters of approval, certificates etc as may be required as part of the change are prepared for distribution within CARC and to the organization concerned.

- Records are maintained of all correspondence, reports etc, ensuring that these are delivered to the documentation centre for filing.

5.8 MOE Amendments CARC policy is such that all amendments to the Maintenance Organization Exposition shall be assessed and approved by CARC.

5.13 Foreign Part 145 Acceptance (FAMO)

CARC may accept Foreign AMOs that are located outside the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, if initially there is a demonstrated need by a Jordanian operator. In practice, there are difficulties linked to the fact that Jordan may not have the necessary means to ensure proper oversight of FAMOs located abroad. To overcome these difficulties, Jordan has found it convenient to rely on the approval and oversight system of the host State to issue the acceptance by accepting the approval given by another State. This may lead to the establishment of supplementary conditions; CARC Supplement to the NAA approved MOE. CARC has established Guidance Procedure No. AWS 24 “Foreign Approved Maintenance Organization” on Foreign Part 145 Acceptance as a User Guide for inspectors and applicants. This procedure is intended to assist the aviation industry in Jordan and the foreign maintenance organizations to process the applications for obtaining CARC acceptance for a foreign maintenance organization.

Part 6 Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization Approval

6.1 Scope of the Procedure This procedure describes how CARC will handle the issuance/renewal of the Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO) approval, the continuing safety oversight and resolving findings of non-compliance, changes and variations to the approval, and, if necessary and in the interest of safety, revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval. The approval process shall be managed in accordance with the guidelines of this procedure, provisions of Jordan Civil Aviation Regulations Part M, Subpart G and the related AMC and GM. In case of commercial air transport, and pursuant to Part M, Subpart G for the aircraft it operates, CAMO shall be approved as part of the air operator certificate issued by CARC. The CAMO approval process at all phases shall be coordinated with Flight Operations Standards Department of CARC (FOSD). AWSD Team Leader (TL) for CAMO approval is assigned the duties of AWSD focal point to coordinate the CAMO certification activities with the AOC certification team. AWSD CAMO approval process is documented in CARC Form 18-0317 “CAMO Approval Process Form” In case of an applicant for AOC, all activities of CAMO certification process are coordinated with FOSD AOC certification team in accordance with the guidelines addressed in form 18-0317 “CAMO Approval Process Form”. 6.2 Organizational structure and responsibilities The Director Airworthiness Standards has overall responsibility for all aspects of CAMO Approvals. He is assisted in this task by the Chief Division. AWSD will determine by whom, and how the certification activities and audits shall be conducted, e.g. it will be necessary to determine whether one large team audit or a short series of small team audits or a long series of single man audits are most appropriate for a particular situation. The day to day supervision of CAMO is the responsibility of the assigned Airworthiness Inspector who will also act as TL in the event that a team is deemed to be the most appropriate approach for the particular situation. The assigned Inspector/Team Leader is therefore responsible for the following:

- Reviewing the documentation submitted by the applicant; - Liaison with the applicant during all phases of the process; - Arranging for an audit of the applicants proposed organization in coordination with the

Chief Division; - Arranging for formal acceptance in writing of the Key Management Personnel; - Producing an audit report including details of all noncompliance findings; - Communicating the audit findings to the applicant and ensuring all noncompliance findings

- Presenting to the applicant the process which will be applied during all phases of the investigation;

- Reporting to the Chief Division any problems encountered during the process and proposing resolutions of these issues.

6.3 Initial application/enquiry The application usually starts with a letter of intent submitted to CARC. The letter of intent will usually be reviewed by the Legal, the Competition and Corporate Control, the Airworthiness Standards (AWSD) and the Flight Operations Standards (FOSD) departments of CARC. Acceptance of the initial application is coordinated with all CARC involved departments of in the applicable certification activities. 6.4 Investigation for Initial Acceptance AWSD and other involved departments of CARC, as appropriate, will liaise with the applicant and seek additional information or clarification as may be required. The applicant will be oriented to review the applicable regulations, AMC, GM and procedures. Applicant orientation to review the applicable regulations, AMC, GM and procedures may be conducted during an informal meeting with the applicant. When the letter/applicant initial submittal is accepted by CARC, and if the applicant is selected to proceed with the approval process, then the applicant will be entitled to proceed to Phase-I of the certification process. In case of an applicant for AOC, the acceptance of the initial application is coordinated with all other involved departments of the certification activities. 6.4.1 Phase I Pre-Application This phase starts with an informal meeting in CARC facility. The Accountable Manager of the proposed organization should participate in this meeting. This meeting will include the following activities:

Page 45: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

- CARC Form 18-0299 “Application for an Approval in accordance with JCAR Part M Subpart G”,

- A copy of JCAR Part M “Continuing Airworthiness Management”,

- CARC Form 18-0305 “Recommendation Report for Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization Approval”,

- Compliance Checklist template for Part M, Subpart G,

- CARC Form 18-0285 “Management Personnel Qualification”.

The applicant will be given one month (30 days) to prepare and submit the application. A copy of minutes of this meeting shall be kept on file in AWS Department. When the PASI or, as applicable, POPS is submitted and found satisfactory, the applicant will be entitled to proceed to Phase-II of the certification process. 6.4.2 Phase II Formal Application In the Formal Application Phase, the applicant shall submit the following documents:

- Completed application form CARC Form 18-0299, - Completed CARC Form 18-0285 attached with CV’s of key Management Positions, - The Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition (CAME), - Completed Compliance Checklist with Part M, Subpart G, - The operator's aircraft maintenance program(s), - The aircraft technical log, - Identification where base and scheduled line maintenance is to take place, - Where appropriate the technical specification of the maintenance contracts between the

operator and Part-145 approved maintenance organization, - Arrangements for all base and scheduled line maintenance, - Details of any contracted maintenance including arrangements for engine and component

support, - Applicable fees settlement in accordance with fees and charges regulations as published by

CARC.

CARC does not expect the documents listed above be submitted in a completed state with the initial application for grant or change since each may require approval in its own right and may be subject to amendment as a result of AWSD assessment during the technical investigations. Draft documents should be submitted at the earliest opportunity so that investigation of the application can begin.

Page 46: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug. 2016 Page 6-4 of 13

Grant or change cannot be achieved until CARC is in possession of all required documents. At the time of application, the operator should have arrangements for all base and scheduled line maintenance in place for an appropriate period of time, as accepted to CARC. The operator should establish further arrangements in due course before the maintenance is due. Base maintenance contracts for high-life time checks may be based on one time contracts, when CARC considers that this is compatible with the operator’s fleet size. When above information and documentation are received, AWSD assigned Inspector(s) will conduct cursory review of these information and documentation, i.e. the formal application and its attachments, for general acceptance and to check that attachments address the required information and are of an appropriate quality. During this phase, AWSD CT will liaise with the applicant as deemed necessary. If the formal application package is incomplete or otherwise unacceptable, CARC will inform the applicant, provide details of the deficiencies and advice on the resubmission of the formal application. If the information in the formal application package is considered acceptable by the certification team, a formal application meeting with the applicant will be scheduled. A formal application meeting will be conducted between the certification team and all the key management personnel of the applicant, with the objective of ensuring that, applicant has submitted formal application and formal application attachments, review the approval process and establish a common understanding on the future procedure for the certification process. In particular, the formal application meeting should confirm that the management background information satisfies regulatory requirements. It should address any errors or omissions in the application package, resolve any scheduling date conflicts and agree on a process for revising event dates, reinforce the communication and working relationships between CARC certification team and applicant personnel and, finally, determine the general acceptability of the formal application package.

It should be understood that acceptance of the formal application package by CARC does not constitute acceptance or approval of any of the attachments which will be subjected to later in depth review. The identification of significant discrepancies during the in depth review may require further meetings between appropriate members of CARC certification team and the applicant personnel. Subsequent to the formal application meeting and subject to the successful acceptance of the application package, CARC will provide the applicant with a letter acknowledging receipt and acceptance of the formal application. The outcome of this phase is the general acceptance of the Formal application and its attachments. 6.4.3 Phase III Detailed Review of Documentation During this phase, the AWSD Inspector(s) assigned to the investigation will conduct:

a) Detailed review of the CAME, using Part-3 of CARC Form 18-0305 PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT, for compliance with the requirements of JCAR Part M Subpart G including in particular;

Page 47: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

6.4.4 Phase IV Audit of the Organization During this phase, the applicant is required to demonstrate that its organization is provided with necessary qualified staff, equipment and facilities, and has the necessary set up to discharge its responsibility for ensuring that the aircraft remain in an airworthy condition for the duration of their operational life, this is referred to as managing the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft. It is assumed that, in the case of an applicant seeking authority to operate leased aircraft registered in a different State, suitable arrangements have been made between the State of the Operator and the State of Registry regarding responsibility for the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft. Further detailed guidance on the maintenance control aspects of an air operator certification, as well as approval of a Continuing Airworthiness Management and the preparation of maintenance-related aspects associated with an AOC, is contained in JCAR Part M, the associated AMC and GM. AWSD assigned Inspector(s) should determine that the structure of the applicant's CAMO is set forth, clearly delineating duties and responsibilities for all key personnel including the manager(s) for engineering and maintenance. The names of all incumbents should be listed. The details of the organizational structure should be included as part of the CAME and, if necessary, also promulgated separately. The Inspector checks that a detailed CAME is available for use and guidance of maintenance and continuing airworthiness personnel and it is kept current and up to date, and it is furnished to all organizations and persons to whom it has been issued. During the inspection, AWSD assigned Inspector determine that the provisions of the CAME are being followed in practice. The Inspector also ascertain the efficiency and promptness of the amendment service and determine that all instructions for continued airworthiness issued by the organization responsible for the type design and the States concerned are promptly assessed and circulated to all those who need such information. AWSD determine how individual audits are conducted and assign an audit team or an individual Inspector depending on the nature and scale of the organization. The inspection/audit of the organization is conducted using CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT” or the relevant parts thereof. The extent of the audit is determined by the nature and the scale of the organization’s continuing airworthiness management activity. When determining the scope of the audit and which activities of the organization will be assessed, the privileges of the organization will be taken into account. The TL and the assigned Inspector(s) determine the areas to be audited and select particular product line so that the audit can be concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon the result, the second type may only require a sample check against those activities seen to be weak on compliance for the first type. During the accomplishment of the audit, the auditing Inspector(s) will ensure that the following procedure is followed, to ensure that the organization is fully aware of any findings identified.

- The auditor(s) should always be accompanied by a Senior Technical Representative of the organization throughout the audit. This is usually the Quality Manger;

- A meeting with the Accountable Manger shall be convened at least once during the investigation for approval to ensure that he/she fully understands the significance of the approval and the reason for signing the exposition commitment of the organization to comply with the procedure specified in the exposition;

Page 49: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug. 2016 Page 6-7 of 13

- The auditor(s) shall inform the Senior Technical Representative/Quality Manager of the organization at the end of the audit visit of all findings identified during the audit;

- In the event that the auditor(s) are unsure about compliance in a particular organization, the auditor(s) will verbally inform the organization about possible non compliance at the time of the audit and the fact that the situation will be reviewed further within CARC before a final decision is made.

6.4.5 CARC Review of Findings On completion of the physical audit of the organization, the assigned Inspector/Team Leader will compile all documentation relating to the audit and ensure that:

- Findings are recorded on the form (CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT”) with a provisional categorization as a Level 1 or Level 2;

- Provisional finding levels are reviewed with the Chief and AWSD Team members, adjusted if necessary and changed from provisional to confirmed;

- If, as the result of the review AWSD finds that the organization is in compliance, a verbal confirmation is given to the organization;

- All findings of confirmed non-compliance is confirmed in writing to the organization within two weeks of the audit visit;

- Liaison is maintained with the organization on the required corrective action to address the findings;

- Detailed records of all correspondence, reports, meetings, etc. in relation to the approval process are compiled;

- All findings must be corrected before the approval can be issued. When the assigned Inspector/Team Leader is satisfied that the corrective actions are satisfactory and that the organization is now ready for approval, the following additional steps will be taken in order to progress to Phase V.

- A final report is prepared using CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT” together with minutes of meetings, correspondence, and related documents. The report includes the date each finding was cleared together with a reference to the correspondence received from the organization regarding clearance of the finding.

- Verify that all applicable fees have been paid.

- Conducting quality review of documentations, if satisfactory, the Chief Division signs the recommendation.

- The completed final “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT”/CARC Form 18-0305 for issuance is submitted to CARC Chief Commissioner with three copies of the approval certificate, CARC Form 18-0014 for Chief Commissioner Signature.

6.4.6 Phase V Issue of Approval When the Chief Commissioner signs the approval certificate (CARC Form 18-0014), AWSD team arranges for:

Page 50: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug. 2016 Page 6-8 of 13

- Formal acceptance in writing (approval) of the CAME; - Formal acceptance in writing of the Management Personnel (CARC Form 18-0285). In the

case of the accountable manager, approval of the continuing airworthiness management exposition containing the accountable manager’s signed commitment statement constitutes formal acceptance, once CARC has held a meeting with the accountable manager and is satisfied with its results;

- Three copies of the approval certificate CARC Form 18-0014 duly signed by the Chief Commissioner or his/her deputy. One copy is for AWSD records and the other two are sent to the organization.

- Updating the register of Approved Continuing Airworthiness Management Organizations, - Presentation of all documents for filing in the technical library.

The CAMO approval is indicated by means of a statement containing the following information:

- Air Operator Certificate number, in case of an AOC, - Name of the operator, in case of an AOC - Type(s) of aircraft for which the continuing airworthiness management organization has been

approved, - Reference identification of the operator’s approved maintenance program(s), - Reference identification of the approved continuing airworthiness management exposition, - Any limitations imposed by CARC on the approval, - Any subcontractors working under the organization’s quality system.

6.5 Continued Oversight and renewal of approvals CARC/AWSD shall keep and update a program listing for each Part M, Subpart G approved continuing airworthiness organizations under its supervision, the dates when audit and renewal audit visits are due and when such visits were carried out. Application for renewal is submitted to CARC of at least 45 days before the expiry date of the approval and shall include the application form (CARC Form 18-0299) and items with changes, as applicable, of the formal application attachments as specified in Para. 6.4.2. Changes approval shall be processed in accordance with Para 6.6 below. According to the program;

- Each organization shall be completely audited at periods not exceeding 24 months.

- A relevant sample of the aircraft managed by Part M, Subpart G approved organization shall be surveyed in every 24 month period. The size of the sample will be decided by AWSD based on the result of prior audits and earlier product surveys.

- All findings shall be confirmed in writing to the organization.

- CARC shall record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close a finding) and recommendations.

- A meeting with the Accountable manager shall be convened at least once every 24 months to ensure he/she remains informed of significant issues arising during audits.

Where CARC/AWSD has decided that a series of audit visits are necessary to arrive at a complete audit of an approved continuing airworthiness management organization, the program should indicate which aspects of the approval will be covered on each visit.

Page 51: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

AWSD determine the areas to be audited and select particular product line so that the audit can be concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon the result, the second type may only require a sample check against those activities seen to be weak on compliance for the first type. Subsequent sample(s), if necessary, follow the same criteria It is recommended that part of an audit concentrates on two ongoing aspects of Part M, Subpart G approval, namely the organization’s internal self-monitoring quality reports produced by the quality monitoring personnel to determine if the organization is identifying and correcting its problems and secondly the number of concessions granted by the quality manager. At the successful conclusion of the audit(s) including verification of the exposition, an audit report should be completed by the auditing Airworthiness Inspector(s) including all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendation. CARC Form 18-0305 “PART-M SUBPART G APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION REPORT” should be used for this activity. Credit may be claimed by the Airworthiness Inspector(s) for specific item audits completed during the preceding 23 month period subject to four conditions:

- the specific item audit should be the same as that required by Part M, Subpart G latest amendment, and

- there should be satisfactory evidence on record that such specific item audits were carried out and that all corrective actions have been taken, and

- the Airworthiness Inspector(s) should be satisfied that there is no reason to believe standards have deteriorated in respect of those specific item audits being granted a back credit;

- the specific item audit being granted a back credit should be audited not later than 24 months after the last audit of the item.

When an operator sub-contracts continuing airworthiness management tasks all sub-contracted organizations should also be audited by CARC/AWSD at periods not exceeding 24 months (credits per above criteria are permitted) to ensure they fully comply with Part M, Subpart G. For these audits, CARC Airworthiness Inspector should always ensure that he/she is accompanied throughout the audit by a senior technical member of the operator. All findings should be sent to and corrected by the operator. When performing the oversight of organizations that hold both Part M, Subpart F and Part M, Subpart G approvals, CARC should arrange the audits to cover both approvals avoiding duplicated visit of a particular area. When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing non-compliance to the Part-M requirement, CARC shall take the following actions:

- For level 1 findings, immediate action shall be taken by CARC/AWSD to revoke, limit or suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding, the continuing airworthiness management organization approval, until successful corrective action has been taken by the organization.

- For level 2 findings, CARC/AWSD shall grant a corrective action period appropriate to the nature of the finding that shall not be more than three months. In certain circumstances, at the

Page 52: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

end of this first period, and subject to the nature of the finding CARC/AWSD can extend the three month period subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan.

Action shall be taken by CARC/AWSD to suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure to comply within the timescale granted by CARC. If during aircraft surveys or by other means evidence is found showing noncompliance to Part-M requirement, CARC shall take the following actions:

- for level 1 findings, CARC/AWSD shall require appropriate corrective action to be taken before further flight and immediate action shall be taken to revoke or suspend the airworthiness review certificate and subsequently the certificate of airworthiness.

In addition and in case of an aircraft registered in another State, CARC should inform the owner/operator and the competent authority of the State of Registry of any potentially affected aircraft in order that corrective action can be taken to ensure possible unsafe conditions on these aircraft are corrected before further flight.

- for level 2 findings, the corrective action required by the CARC/AWSD shall be appropriate to the nature of the finding.

If the root cause of the finding identifies a noncompliance with any Subpart or with another Part of regulations, the noncompliance shall be dealt with as prescribed by the relevant Part. 6.6 Changes

Whereas, CARC shall monitor and control changes to the approved organization, the approved continuing airworthiness management organization, in accordance with M.713 and before such changes take place, shall notify CARC of any proposal to carry out any of changes specified therein.

Change/Variation approval process is documented in CARC Form 18-0318 “CAMO Change/Variation Approval Process Form”

Depending on the nature and the extent of a proposed change, CARC will apply the applicable elements of the initial approval process requirements for a change. CARC may prescribe conditions under which the approved continuing airworthiness management organization may operate during such change unless it determines that the approval should be suspended until a change is approved.

The assigned Airworthiness Inspector(s) will liaise with the organization and other CARC involved department regarding the change approval process, any special conditions which may be applied and also arrange for the accomplishment of any audit(s) required to establish compliance with Part M requirements and ensure that:

- The relevant applicable parts of CARC Form 18-0305 “Part-M Subpart G Approval Recommendation Report” are completed, including all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendations;

- Appropriate liaison is maintained with the organization as required in relation to audit findings and the closure of the same;

Page 53: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

- Letters of approval, certificates, etc. as may be required as part of the change are prepared for distribution within CARC and to the organization concerned.

- Records are maintained of all correspondence, reports, etc and ensuring that these are delivered to the technical library for filing.

6.7 CAME Amendments CARC policy is such that all amendments to the CAME shall be assessed and approved by CARC/AWSD.

Exposition status sheet is recommended to be maintained within the AWSD to control all amendments to the CAME including:

- The date when amendments are received and; - The date when amendments are approved.

The assigned Inspector to the continuing airworthiness management organization is responsible for monitoring the status of the CAME’s amendments, which are controlled as follows:

- The organization submits proposed amendments to CARC;

- The assigned Inspector will review the proposed amendment and if necessary arrange for an audit of the organization;

- When all Part M requirements are deemed satisfactory, the assigned Inspector will arrange to formally advise the organization of the CAME amendment approval in writing;

- The exposition status sheet, as applicable, is updated to reflect the amendment;

- Records of correspondence, reports, etc. are delivered to the technical library for filing.

6.8 Revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval CARC/AWSD shall:

Form 18-0022. At this time the bi-annual provisional monitoring plan for the MTO is reviewed and approved. 7.7 Issue of the Approval Following the Quality Check, the CARC CEO will sign and stamp the approval certificate and associated letters and pass them back to the AWSD Director for processing. The maintenance training organization approval certificate format shall be as detailed in Appendix II. 7.7.1 CARC Certification File The completed Certification File is then placed in the allocated space in the library. 7.7.2 Variation of –Part-147 Approval (Ref:147.105) MTO organization, issued an approval in accordance with Part-147 wishing to alter any of the elements listed below, must submit a CARC Form 18-0012 or an application in the form of a letter to CARC. A Part-147 approval variation application, received from the MTO, is required for any of the following reasons:

Name or address (location) of the principal place of business of the MTO has changed. The organization submits a new application as a matter of urgency stating that only the name of the organization has changed including a copy of the organization exposition with the new name. On receipt of the application and the organization exposition, CARC will reissue the approval certificate valid only up to the current expiry date.

Any change(s) to the scope of approval (training/examination approval schedule) of the MTO.

A change of accountable manager requires the maintenance training organization to submit such fact to CARC as a matter of urgency together with the amendment to the Accountable Manager exposition statement.

A change of any of the senior personnel specified in Part 147.105(b) or the examination staff in 147.105 (e) requires the maintenance training organization to submit a Form 285 in respect of the particular person to CARC. If satisfied that the qualifications and experience meet the standard required by Part-147, CARC will indicate acceptance in writing to the maintenance training organization.

A change in the maintenance training organization’s exposition requires CARC to establish that the procedures specified in the exposition are in compliance with the intent of Part-147 and then to establish if these are the same procedures intended for use within the training facility.

Any additional basic or aircraft type training courses requires the maintenance training organization to make a new application to CARC together with the submission of an amended exposition. For basic training extensions, an additional sample of new examination questions relevant to the modules associated with the extension being sought will be required to be submitted

CARC will follow the procedure of paragraph 7.6.6 in so far as the change affects such procedures unless it is satisfied that the maintenance training organization has a well-controlled procedure to qualify such change when it is not necessary to conduct a full audit.

Page 66: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

Note: A name change alone does not require CARC to audit the organization, unless there is evidence that other aspects of the maintenance training organization have changed. The complete or partial re-organization of a training organization will require the re-audit of those elements that have changed. For this purpose the MTO should submit the affected manual(s)/Documentation for evaluation by CARC. The Part-147 approval variation process follows the steps of the initial Part-147 approval as described in para. 7.6.5. 7.7.3 Update AWSD Database Certain information received by the MTO applicant in support of his/her application shall be entered in the AWSD System during the appropriate certification procedure steps. This information includes, but is not limited to, MTO organization’s address, phone numbers, base location, Senior Managers names, MTO scope of work, etc. In addition, all findings from the various certification steps will also be entered into the computerized system for tracking and historical record purposes. This information is kept up to date by including all subsequent changes (if any) to the Part-147 Approval 7.8 Continued validity procedure a. Each organization shall be completely audited for compliance with this Part-147 at periods

7.10 Reporting audit findings 7.10.1 General Audit Finding form(s) are used to record audit findings that result during an inspection. It is important that this form is filled out completely. 7.10.2 Procedure The Audit Finding form is to be filled out during the inspection so the Assigned Inspector performing the inspection must have an adequate number of AF forms handy before the inspection begins. For Findings showing non-compliance to the specific inspection requirements, CARC/ AWSD shall take the following actions: For Level 1 findings, immediate action shall be taken to revoke, limit or suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of Level 1 finding, the maintenance training organization approval, until successful corrective action has been taken by the organization. Level 2: Level 2 finding is any non-compliance with Part 147 requirements which could lower the safety standard and possibly hazard the flight safety. For the Level 2 findings, the responsible Inspector shall grant a corrective action period appropriate to the nature of the finding that shall not be more than three (3) months. In certain circumstances, at the end of this first period and subject to the nature of the finding, the three month period may be extended, subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan.

Type rating training Course Approval other than those conducted by a Part-147 approved maintenance training organization.

7.13 Scope The purpose of this procedure is to outline the requirements for approval of type training courses other than those conducted by a Part-147 approved maintenance training organization. According to Appendix III of Part-66.45 (b) specifies that Part-66 Category B1, B2 and C certifying staff are required to hold an appropriate aircraft type rated Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence prior to the grant of a Part-145 certification authorization on a specific type. Part-66.45 (c) additionally specifies that ratings will be granted following satisfactory completion of the relevant category B1, B2 or C aircraft type training approved by CARC or by an appropriately approved Part-147 maintenance training organization. All aircraft type training courses, other than those carried out by a Part-147 training organization approved to conduct type training, must be approved by CARC and the approval application will be processed in accordance with this procedural guide lines. The approved type-training course includes theoretical course elements/examinations acceptable to CARC. However the type rating endorsement on the Part-66 licence also requires the performance of practical training/assessment elements acceptable to CARC as well. The practical training/assessment element may either be part of the approved type training course or be performed directly by the Part-145 approved maintenance organization. Type training courses will be approved in accordance with Part-66 Appendix III.

Note: CARC has established Guidance Procedure under No. AWS 47 on Type rating training Course Approval other than those conducted by a Part-147 approved maintenance training organization. This user guide is designed to be used by:

Part-145 and Part MF - To assist them in seeking approval of aircraft type training courses.

CARC - As guidance procedure to outline the requirements for approval of type training courses other than those conducted by a Part-147 approved maintenance training organization.; and it is the responsibility of the organization to ensure compliance with the regulation.

Subpart F

Foreign Part 147 Acceptance/Type Training

There is a need for CARC to accept ATOs that are located outside the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. This approach is driven by cost considerations or simply because the national market does not support certain types of specialized aviation training locally. However, there is no difference between the approval of training organizations based in Jordan and those based in another Contracting State. The principles and procedures that are described in both ICAO Annex 1 and the Manual on the Approval of training Organizations (ICAO Doc 9841) fully apply to foreign-based ATOs. In practice, there are difficulties linked to the fact that Jordan may not have the necessary means to ensure proper oversight of ATOs located abroad. To overcome these difficulties, Jordan has found it convenient to rely on the approval and oversight system of the host State to issue the acceptance by accepting the approval given by another State to fully understand the conditions and the regulatory basis of the original approval. This may lead to the establishment of supplementary conditions. Note: CARC has established Guidance procedure under No. AWS 45 on Foreign Part 147 Acceptance/ Type Training as a User Guide for Applicants. This procedure is intended to assist the aviation industry in Jordan and the foreign maintenance training organizations /Type Training to process the applications for obtaining CARC acceptance for a foreign maintenance training organization/Type training organization of the approval issued by the foreign authority.

Part 8

Permit to Fly 8.1 Scope of the Procedure This procedure describes how CARC will handle issuance, renewal and continued validity of the Permit to Fly in respect of aircraft already registered on Jordanian civil aircraft register. A Permit to Fly is generally issued when a certificate of airworthiness is temporarily invalid, e.g. as a result of a damage, or when a certificate of airworthiness cannot be issued since that aircraft does not meet, or has not been shown to meet, the applicable airworthiness requirements but the aircraft is capable of performing a safe flight under a defined conditions and restrictions. Flight conditions arc differentiated such as: 1) Flight conditions related to the safety of the design, e.g.:

a) the aircraft does not conform to an approved design; or b) an Airworthiness Limitation, a Certification Maintenance Requirement or an Airworthiness Directive has not been complied with; or c) the intended flight(s) are outside the approved envelope.

2) Flight conditions not related to the safety of the design, e.g.:

a) production flight testing for the purpose of conformity establishment; b) delivery/export flight of an aircraft, the design of which is approved; c) Demonstrating continuing conformity with the applicable airworthiness requirements of an aircraft to qualify or re-qualify for a (restricted) certificate of airworthiness.

8.2 Application for a Permit to Fly An application for a Permit to fly shall be made in a form and manner established by CARC and shall include the following:

1) A completed CARC Form 18-0118 "Application for Airworthiness Certificate"; the applicant completes blocks I, ll, VI and VlI, as applicable, 2) A completed CAR Form 18-0311 "Application for Issuance of a Permit to Fly and Approval of Flight Conditions", and 3) A completed CARC Form 18-0310 "Approval of Flight Conditions for a Permit to Fly"

8.3 Review and assessment The technical investigations for the approval of flight conditions and the issuance of flight permit will vary depending on the established flight conditions as related to the safety of the design or not related to the safety of design, as well as, the purpose of the permit. Whenever, an application is received by CARC/AWSD, the application will be forwarded to the Chief Division, who will then assign Airworthiness Inspector or a team of Inspectors, as appropriate, to initiate the technical investigation on which CARC/AWSD will base its decision to issue, to amend or to refuse the issuance of the Permit to Fly and the approval of the proposed flight conditions or changes thereto. The assigned inspector(s) will conduct assessment on following:

1) All required forms are properly completed, signed and submitted by the applicant,

Page 74: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

2) The proposed night conditions against the substantial documentations provided by the applicant are appropriate,

3) The aircraft and its airworthiness records to ensure that the aircraft is capable of safe flight under the specified conditions and restrictions,

If the application cannot be accepted due to just cause or any of information or requirement is missing, the applicant will be informed in writing, by means of a formal letter agreed upon with Chief Division and authorized by Director AWS of the decision of rejection or in order to:

• Submit the correct data, • Submit the missing information, • Submit additional data, and/or • make any necessary inspections or tests for ensuring that the aircraft is capable of safe flight under the specified conditions and restrictions, and, as applicable, the specified conditions and restrictions are compensating for the non-compliance with the airworthiness requirements.

When the review and the assessment are completed, the assigned Inspector (s) in coordination with the Chief Division will make determination if a consultation is needed with FOSD concerning the established flight conditions/Restrictions. If FOSD finds that additional conditions are necessary to be established and/or the established conditions are to be amended to ensure the aircraft is capable of safe flight, AWSD will instruct the applicant to do so. 8.4 Approval of Flight Conditions/Restrictions and issuance of a Permit to Fly When the application is found to be satisfactory, the flight conditions and the associated permit to fly will be approved and issued by CARC:

1) the assigned inspector or team of inspectors issue the "Statement of Technical Satisfaction", complete CARC forms as appropriate. prepare the certificate and the covering letter to the applicant,

2) Chief Division makes the final review, endorse the "Statement of Technical Satisfaction" and make sure that all CARC forms are properly completed and signed,

3) The assigned inspector make sure that:

a) AWSD records are updated, b) The Permit to Fly is sent to the applicant, which shall at least include:

• The expiration date, • The clause "For non-commercial flights only”, • The clause "not valid for use in foreign airspace unless validated by the foreign CAA

whose airspace will be over-flown", and • The approved flight conditions/restrictions

8.5 Coordination process with CARC Air Clearances concerning issuance of a landing/or over flight permit to a foreign registered aircraft with a Permit to Fly issued by that State Whenever an application is submitted to CARC Air Clearances for a landing permit in Jordanian Airports or over flight Jordanian Territories with a foreign registered aircraft issued a Permit to Fly by that State, the application should be coordinated with Airworthiness Standards Department (AWSD), Air Clearances shall request the applicant to submit the following documentations:

Subpart C

Examinations 9.24 General This Subpart provides the procedures to be followed for the examinations conducted by CARC. 9.25 Examination Standard

I. General

Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention broadly outlines the subjects of which applicants shall demonstrate appropriate knowledge. In general and in accordance with ICAO Annex 1, applicants for aircraft maintenance personnel licences must demonstrate knowledge in five subjects.

Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention requires that all applicants for licences shall demonstrate an appropriate level of knowledge and skill and meet certain experience requirements For example, the Basic knowledge for categories A, B1 and B2 are indicated by the allocation of knowledge levels indicators (1, 2 or 3) against each applicable subject. Category C applicants must meet either the category B1 or category B2 basic knowledge levels.

Basic Examinations questions have been developed by an external contractor in accordance with a signed contract and provided to CARC , CARC Airworthiness Inspectors review, revise, correct and update the questions periodically.

The rapid increase in technology requires constant updating of staff knowledge. For effective and fast integration of this knowledge, an effective examination data base and examining system by computer is needed.

Computerised based examinations allow CARC to use advanced elements and methods to check the applicants. Especially in the area of technical training and examination graphic elements and vivid representations instead of pure text.

Page 88: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug. 2016 Page 9-11 of 21

The use of multi-media elements and good database architecture will raise the quality of the questions and the examinations.

II. Control-Software

In order to administrate the question bank also a program is needed. The main tasks are to support the question design and the question management. It also must provide examination pattern for written examinations and for computer based examinations. It must not have any functionality to run an examination or to control the applicants’ license data.

III. Question-Database

A question-database includes the entire information. It is the base of the examination development and the controlling system. A well organized question-bank is a fundamental prerequisite for the quality insurance of examinations.

IV. Principal requirements

(a) Questions must be written in Aviation language. (b) Questions that require specialized knowledge of specific aircraft types should not

be asked in a basic licence examination. (c) Multiple-choice question must have three alternative answers of which only one

must be the correct answer and the candidate must be allowed a time per module which is based upon a nominal average of 75 seconds per question.

(d) The primary purpose of essay questions is to determine that the candidate can express themselves in a clear and concise manner and can prepare a concise technical report for the maintenance record, which is why only a few essay questions are required. The candidate must be allowed a time per essay question of 20 minutes.

(e) The examination should measure clearly formulated goals. Therefore the field and depth of knowledge to be measured by each question must be fully identified.

(f) For pass mark purposes, the essay questions should be considered as separate from the multiple-choice questions.

(g) For a better descriptiveness and in order to remain close to reality, the use of diagrams is particularly suitable.

(h) The use of abbreviations, and acronyms should generally be avoided. However, where needed, only internationally recognized abbreviations, acronyms should be used. In case of doubt use the full form, e.g. angle of attack = 12 degrees instead of a= 12°. This means, for example, that only abbreviations commonly employed in the specialist field are used, without an additional spelled-out explanation in brackets.

(i) The use of units must follow the international rules and style conventions5. (j) Questions must be referred to the syllabus, the category and the learning

objectives. (k) The layout of question should be homogenous. Only one font may be used for the

question and the answer text. For the better optical distinction the additional

10.3 Type certification and supplemental type certification 10.3.1 Pre-TC phase and CRI’s The product approval process is distinguished in work related to the issuance of the basic Type Certificate (Pre-TC phase) and work related to an already approved product, but being altered or modified (Post TC phase), such as an alternative engine installation, fuselage stretch, various approved modifications and options, etc. All subjects for which the PCM deems it necessary to record (normally on the recommendation of specialists) will be recorded in a Certification Review Item (CRI). Such a CRI will further assist the PCM to control the debate between the members of Certification Team and the applicant until an agreed conclusion about the certification subject has been reached. CRI’s are also used to record the Type Certification Basis, and the agreement of the applicant thereof, any additional requirements such as environmental protection requirements, and any subject dealt with within a specialist discipline for the settlement of for example guidance material, acceptable means of compliance or Special Conditions, which will then be referenced in the Type Certification Basis. For the Type Certification Basis, CRI A-1 is exclusively reserved. All other numbering identification system for the CRI’s should be included in the PCM Project Information Document. See Annex 1 for details about the CRI procedures. 10.3.1.1 Phase I: Technical Familiarization and Initial Type Certification Basis CARC Certification Team needs to receive thorough technical briefings by the applicant on all aspects known at that stage, to fully understand the design, including new technologies, and any unique or unconventional features or intended unconventional use of the product. This technical information on the design features should be used by the team to determine the adequacy of the applicable CS, and where necessary propose specific Special Conditions as referenced in JCAR 21.16B. Based on the initial findings and recommendations of the Certification Team, the PCM shall draft the initial Type Certification Basis. Therefore the initial Type Certification Basis will include the following sections:

The applicable CS; Additional Requirements the applicant wishes to include in the Certification Basis (for

example newest amendments of CS which are to be published after the date of application); Equivalent Safety Findings; A reference to CRI’s discussing Alternative Means of Compliance if the applicant wishes to

deviate from normal practice; and A reference to CRI’s settling interpretations of the CS.

Phase I is to be concluded by the issue of CRI A-1 detailing the initial Type Certification Basis. 10.3.1.2 Phase II: Certification program After receipt of the applicant’s proposed certification program, the certification team shall discuss and agree with the applicant the certification program, which shall define the proposed means of compliance with the Certification Basis, and identifies the team involvement for compliance

Page 101: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

demonstrations, test witnessing, compliance tracking, compliance recording, conformity statements, time schedule for achieving compliance, etc. All documents required to show compliance with the applicable requirements and their scheduled date of availability shall be referenced in the Certification Program. When defining the involvement of the team, full use should be made of the applicant’s DOA privileges granted under JCAR 21.263(b). Particularly all compliance documents which the applicant can approve under its DOA without further verification by the team shall be agreed with the applicant. The PCM (on the recommendation of specialists) shall indicate his concurrence with the agreed program in writing. The Certification Program will be recorded in a CRI. 10.3.1.3 Phase III: Compliance determination The task of showing compliance with the certification basis is the responsibility of the applicant. The applicant will also record and produce the following: The CARC Type Design:

A procedure to cover equipment qualification; Certification documents (including compliance reports, manuals etc); A Declaration of Compliance with the applicable requirements for each compliance report;

The acceptance of the compliance demonstrations is the responsibility of the certification team. 10.3.1.4 Phase IV: Final report and issue TC 10.3.1.4.1 Statement of compliance On completion of the certification program, the applicant shall provide a Declaration of Compliance that the type design of the product having been type certificated, complies with the Type Certification Basis as recorded in CRI A-1.

10.3.2.4 Repairs Repairs must be classified as minor or major in accordance with the requirements of JCAR 21.435 by CARC or by an organization with an appropriate DOA approval. Major repairs applied for by the TC holder may be approved by CARC or by the TC-holder under its appropriate DOA approval. If applied for by a non TC Holder, the major repair must be approved by CARC. Minor repairs may be approved by the applicant under its appropriate DOA approval, or else by CARC. Preferably, in all cases the assigned PCM and the relevant certification team in place for the TC of the subject product should be used. 10.4 JTSO Authorization 10.4.1 General A JTSO Authorization is an approval of CARC for the design and production of an article, i.e. a part or an appliance (for example: a passenger seat unit, a galley appliance, an avionics suite, etc.) for which it has been shown that it meets the particular certification specifications. Such article is that allowed to be used for the installation in a civil aircraft, without further investigation. The holder of a JTSO Authorization must report to CARC any failure, malfunction, defect or other occurrence of which it has been made aware and must be capable of investigating such occurrence and propose resolutions and corrective actions to CARC for acceptance. Note: This paragraph 10.4 describes only the process to obtain the design approval for an article under existing TSO specifications and as such recognized by CARC. Jordan will normally only accept TSO articles conforming to the certification specifications as published by EASA (CS- ETSO). 10.4.2 Application Any person or legal entity whose principal place of business is within Jordan may apply for a JTSO Authorization (JTSOA) not being an Auxiliary Power Unit, provided the applicant uses an approved set of procedures for the design of the article in accordance with the particular TSO specification. For producing the article under a JTSOA, the applicant must hold an appropriate Production Organization Approval (see section 12 of this Handbook). Applicants seeking an approval of an APU under a JTSOA, must hold a DOA (see section 11 of this Handbook).

12.4 Investigation for Initial Approval 12.4.1 Phase I Initiation The POA team leader will initiate the process by organizing a first meeting with the applicant for:

A general presentation by the applicant, outlining the proposed scope of production and the relationship between the holder of an approved design and the applicant for production approval.

A description by the POA team leader of the investigation process as described in this Handbook.

The minutes of this meeting shall be kept on file for inclusion in the Final Report. 12.4.2 Phase II Preparatory phase At the beginning of the investigation process for a POA under JCAR Part 21 subpart G, the POA team shall:

study the production organization exposition as meant in JCAR Part 21.A.143 and associated data, including the proposed quality system as described in JCAR Part 21.A.139;

take into account all experience the team members have accumulated about the applicant; and

take into account all in-service data of the other products, appliances or articles under a JTSOA produced by the applicant.

The investigation program should contain:

a brief description of the production organization (location of facilities, scope of work, general overview of processes, organizational position of the accountable manager, his staff and verifying engineers etc.;

identification of key features of the production organization (design work sharing, methods of compliance verification, airworthiness organization, internal process system monitoring etc.);

the functioning and effectiveness of the quality system; tasks to performed by the POA team; and detailed planning of the investigation program (dates, subjects , meetings locations etc.).

This preparatory phase is an internal POA team working phase, made up of individual team member studies and preparations, and POA team working sessions managed and organized by the POA Team leader. Any questions raised by the team will be recorded by the team leader for submittal to the applicant and further processing during phase III, Investigation. For the preparatory phase of an application for production approval under JCAR Part 21 subpart F (Production without POA), the POA team will review the production organization inspection system and determine, that the system is capable of ensuring, that the product, article or appliance complies with and conforms to the approved design data and is in condition for safe operation. This

Page 117: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

review must be based on a manual as meant in JCAR Part 21.A.125, provided by the applicant, which must also contain a cross reference to all relevant provisions of JCAR Part 21 subpart F and the compliance thereof. Further, the POA team shall review the applicant’s capability to perform continued airworthiness for the product, article or appliance in compliance with JCAR Part 21.A.3 and JCAR Part 21.A.129(d). The investigation program for application under JCAR Part 21 subpart F will contain all elements for which the team has questions or where the manual is unclear. Further, the team leader may identify one or more sample audits relating to conformity check to be carried out during phase III at the applicant location. Any questions raised by the team will be recorded by the team leader for submittal to the applicant and further processing during phase III, Investigation. At the closure of Phase II the POA team leader will submit the initially completed CARC Form 18-0309 “Recommendation Report for POA” to the Chief Division for approval and agreement on the investigation program. 12.4.3 Phase III Presentation to the applicant of the investigation program The POA team leader will present the approved investigation program to the applicant and will establish an agreed time schedule. 12.4.4 Phase IV Investigation activities During this phase, the complete production system of the applicant, including the quality assurance system and its effectiveness, shall be reviewed in order to determine exhaustively that the production organization complies with JCAR Part 21, and to check as practical on a sample basis that the applicant is actually producing in accordance with the system described in the applicants exposition or production manual, including the inspection system. For each subject defined in the investigation program, the following process will be followed:

Preparation of a list of questions by the POA team, with cross references to JCAR Part 21; Sending the list of questions to the applicant by the POA Team leader; Review of the list of questions and the responses with the applicant during a meeting; Record all discrepancies in applying the requirements of JCAR Part 21 or its AMC and GM; Record the positions of team and applicant, until a satisfactory solution has been reached

and accepted by the Chief Division in the minutes of meeting; Follow up of all other questions raised until a satisfactory closure is obtained by the POA

team; Follow up of open actions up to their closures; and Perform audits on one or more samples with special attention to conformity checks, as

selected by the POA team leader. During phase IV, the POA Team leader will make a status report to the Chief Division, as soon as the key features of the production organization of the applicant have been assessed. When new items are identified, the investigation program will be amended to include such items. The team will take into account information from all sources as to the functioning of the procedures and production system of the applicant that is available, e.g. from certification teams, maintenance data or from previous experience with the applicant.

Page 118: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

When all subjects of this phase have been processed as above and have been satisfactorily closed, including the sample audit(s), then phase IV shall be deemed to be complete. However, it is accepted, that some actions required by the POA team may take time for implementation and may remain open at the end of this phase, provided a corrective action program proposed by the applicant has been agreed by the POA team. 12.4.5 Phase V Conclusion In this phase, the POA Team leader will prepare a final report CARC Form 18-0309 “Recommendation Report for POA”, using the input from the team members, and complete CARC Approval Certificate and send the report and the form to the Chief Division. After review and acceptance, the report and the form will be submitted to the DA for review and acceptance. The DA will recommend the issuance of a certificate to the CEO/Chief Commissioner. Part of the final report is the surveillance program for the first year after granting approval. The date of approval will be the date of validity of the terms of approval. The POA Team leader will provide the conclusions of the approved final report to the applicant. After approval has been granted, the POA Team leader and the team will remain in place to handle applications for changes/variations and to perform continued surveillance of the POA. 12.5 Issuance of the Production Organization Approval certificate Following accepted closure of remaining items and questions, submission of the final report and acceptance of the scope of work by the DA, the POA certificate for application under JCAR Part 21 subpart G, or the Letter of Agreement for application under Part 21 subpart F will be signed by the CEO/Chief Commissioner. The certificate or Letter will be sent to the applicant. Note: The certificate under JCAR Part 21 subpart G is valid for 24 calendar months, as long as CARC has determined during continued surveillance that the provisions for approval are still in compliance. The Letter of Agreement under JCAR Part 21 subpart F is valid only for one (1) year and shall be returned to CARC after revocation, expiry or when surrendered. A new application under subpart F must be made in such case, if production is to be continued requiring a production organization approval. 12.6 Changes to the Approval Only POA approvals under JCAR Part 21 subpart G are eligible for application of change. Changes for production organization approval under subpart F require a new application under that subpart. The request for change of a POA approval under subpart G must be submitted by the approval holder and will be classified by CARC under JCAR Part 21.A.147 and associated AMC and GM. If found significant, application must be made to CARC, DA and Chief Division will then initiate an investigation by the POA team in order to verify compliance with JCAR Part 21. The investigation must be concluded with a final report with, if relevant, an updated scope of approval. Changes not found to be significant will be dealt with during the process of continued surveillance. 12.7 Continued Surveillance The POA team leader is responsible for the management of the POA surveillance activities and for POA approvals under subpart G, in order to ensure continuing compliance with JCAR Part 21, will:

Produce each year a program defining the surveillance activities of the coming year. The first program shall be included in the final report. Each subsequent year, the annual surveillance report of that year will contain the program for the next year. Programs shall be structured in such way, that every 2 years the production organization is completely reviewed for compliance with JCAR Part 21;

Take due consideration of information coming from CARC Continued Airworthiness inspections (e.g. non compliances or non-airworthy conditions found with Certificates of Airworthiness, or non-conformity inspections during production of type certificated products, or repair design, etc.);

Take due consideration of the POA holder internal surveillance activities and results; Ensure that corrective actions resulting from level 1 or 2 findings as identified in JCAR Part

21.A.158 from previous assessment or surveillance activities are concluded satisfactorily in a acceptable time frame; and

Produce an annual surveillance report. Furthermore, the POA team leader will each year plan an annual meeting dedicated to the review of the internal system monitoring by the POA holder in order to:

review the effectiveness of system monitoring activities and its results of the past year; assess the program established by the POA holder for the coming year, taking into account

the experience gained by the Continued Airworthiness inspection teams during inspections of Certificates of Airworthiness, or Part M or Part 145 findings related to continued airworthiness activities;

record which JCAR Part 21 requirements have been evaluated for continued compliance; and

determine which surveillance activities will be performed by the team. The tools to be used in the surveillance activities by the POA Team include:

formal regular review as needed to discuss specific points and to follow identified actions; the reporting system of the POA holder and the subjects and results thereof; specific analyses, based on anomalies seen through day-to-day working experience of

CARC approval processes, or reports from Foreign Authorities on anomalies in airworthiness issues having a relationship with the production organization; and

audits to verify compliance with applicable requirements. The annual surveillance report shall be submitted to the Chief Division for approval. For approvals under JCAR Part 21 subpart F, the team leader will initiate reviews if deemed necessary during the period of validity of the Letter of Agreement. 12.8 Noncompliance findings level 1 and 2 When the POA team leader has found evidence showing non-compliance with JCAR Part 21 by the POA holder, these non-compliances shall be classified in accordance with JCAR Part 21.A.158 by the team. A level one finding shall be immediately notified to the POA holder or the agreement holder and shall be confirmed by the DA/or Chief Division in writing within three (3) working days after classification.

Part 13 Airworthiness Procedures, for the approval of leases among commercial air transport

operators 13.1 Introduction Aircraft may be leased in or leased out, provided it can be shown that the aircraft conforms to OPS and Continuing airworthiness and aircraft maintenance requirements as described in JCAR OPS 1.165. The Convention on International Civil Aviation allocates certain safety oversight functions to the State of Registry as described in:

1. Annexes 1,6&8 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation 2. Article 83 bis of the Convention on International Civil Aviation 3. ICAO Circular 295

13.2 Purpose The purpose of developing airworthiness related procedures for the approval of leases among commercial air transport operators as they relate to airworthiness for the type of leases (dry, wet or damp) is the determination of the responsibility for the signing of the maintenance release and the airworthiness of the aircraft in conformity with the requirements of the continuing airworthiness and aircraft maintenance performance requirements. 13.3 Applicability

The Procedure is applicable to the following cases: • Dry lease of aircraft • Wet lease of aircraft • Damp lease of aircraft

The Dry lease case is the most common case that agreement under the provisions of Article 83 bis may be needed. In each case the necessity of establishment of the agreement should be evaluated. It is essential to understand that the preparation of the agreement takes some time and also upon termination of the agreement some actions could be required in order to establish full control of the State of Registry upon the aircraft.

13.4 Terminology

Terms used in this procedure have the following meaning: Dry lease: is when the aeroplane is operated under the AOC of the lessee. Wet lease: is when the aeroplane is operated under the AOC of the lessor. Damp lease: A wet lease of an aircraft where the aircraft is operated under the AOC of the lessor, with the flight crew and possibly part of the cabin crew being provided by the lessor. Part or all of the cabin crew is provided by the lessee 13.5 Airworthiness Procedure Prior approving an aircraft lease, The Airworthiness evaluation for approval of leases among commercial air transport operators is through completing the CARC Form 18-0316 as amended to ensure that the signing of the maintenance release has been considered and that the lease clearly defines the responsibility of aircraft airworthiness as well as the AD compliance and the completion of maintenance program tasks

Annex 1 CRI Procedure

1. Identification of significant issues,

Certification Review Items (CRIs) provide a simple, structured means of accomplishing several necessary steps in the type certification process.

a) They provide a simple means for describing and tracking the resolution of significant or controversial regulatory and associated technical policies and means of compliance, major technical or administrative issues occurring throughout a program. By focusing on the regulatory compliance issues, they enable the project team and Applicant management to grasp and track the essential issues as they are identified and studied by all parties. They are valuable tools for keeping the relevant parties both informed and involved in timely actions.

b) CRIs form a valuable reference for future type certification program, and for development of

regulatory changes. By describing significant or precedent setting technical decisions and the rationales employed, they are ideal source documents.

c) The Certification Team will work closely with the Applicant for the earliest practicable

identification of CRI issues that may require special emphasis for resolution. This step will usually require more detailed technical discussions, correspondence, review of design data and hardware, etc. The Applicant should be encouraged to surface questions or issues that may require time or special study for resolution so that all CRI issues can be identified as soon as practicable and do not become surprises at a later time.

d) The Applicant should be advised that routine items relative to showing compliance and

work relationships will not normally be raised as "CRIs" unless some special problems are anticipated or develop during the course of the program. Routine items will be handled with the Applicant by the Team with decisions and actions documented in correspondence, data submittals, and file records of meetings, conversations and events.

e) First priority should be placed on the identification, rather than the resolution of CRI issues.

Issues relating to the Certification Basis including Special Conditions need to be identified as soon as possible in the program to enable the project milestones to be met. It is not expected that significant technical issues would be resolved at the initial meeting with the Team, although some such issues may become apparent during the discussions.

2. CRI Issues

For the following subjects a CRI must be raised.

a) Type Certification Basis (including, as applicable, environmental protection requirements), b) Definition of the Type Design, c) Additional Administrative Requirements for Certificate of Airworthiness, d) Additional Design Requirements for Operational Approval, e) The record and detail of Special Conditions, f) The record and detail of Exemptions, g) The record and detail of any Equivalent Safety Finding, h) The record of means of compliance or interpretative material which is not consistent with

the content of applicable certification specifications (airworthiness code), i) Controversial items between the Team and the Applicant

Page 125: CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 · 2017-02-13 · CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015 Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug

CARC Airworthiness Inspector’s Handbook CARC Order 18-9015

Issue No: 06 Revision No: 00 Date: Aug. 2016 Page A-2 of 14

j) For non-Jordanian products, identification and administration of the differences between the Jordan Type Certification Basis and the Exporting Authority Certification Basis (Note: this shall be processed and administered in accordance with GP AWS 02 Aircraft Type Acceptance Certification)

3. CRI Development

For an overview of the CRI development process, see the flow chart (Figure B). Every effort will be made to identify CRIs during the establishment of the Certification Basis, however:

a) CRIs may be proposed to the PCM at any time during the process prior to the Type Certification.

b) The CRI format and instructions are provided in detail in Section 5 below. c) Draft CRIs will be developed by either the Team members, the PCM or the Applicant for

each significant issue as early in the program as practicable. d) CRIs are primarily intended to provide Team/PCM and the Applicant with an overview of

significant issues, to provide a means of determining the status of these issues, and to provide a post certification summary statement on how significant issues were resolved and general reference on future projects that might encounter similar situations.

e) For non-Jordanian products the CRIs, if applicable, will be coordinated with the Exporting Authority.

f) CRIs recording the Type Certification Basis, Special Conditions, Exemptions, Equivalent Safety Findings or alternative means of compliance need the approval of the responsible PCM, who may involve the panel of experts.

Each CRI at Issue 1 must include at least the "Statement of Issue" (see Paragraph 5.10 below) before it is presented to the Applicant by the PCM. Some "Discussion" and even a tentative "Position" may be provided to further clarify the issue. However, the major emphasis at Issue 1 of each CRI should be to raise the issue to the PCM and Applicant's management attention as early as practicable, providing a concise "Statement of Issue" that is clearly understood by all parties concerned with the resolution.

4. The CRI Status Summary

a) The PCM will maintain a CRI Status Summary document. This document will contain a list of all CRIs, the Issue No, Date, Subject Summary, Action, Target Closure Date and Status.

b) Updating of the Status Summary will occur on an "as needed" basis, as individual CRIs are advanced in Issues.

c) Each revision of the CRI Status Summary will be circulated by the PCM to a standard distribution list comprising the Applicant, all Team members, the PCM, and as applicable the Exporting Authority

5. CRI Format

The format to be used in drafting CRIs is shown in Figure A. Instructions for completing the CRI format are provided below, using the same Paragraph numbers as indicated on Figure A.

(1) Identify Applicant and model designation; Example: [ACME Aircraft Company]

[Model AC-850]

Note: xx is a sequential number.

(6) It is expected that most issues will be resolved in a number of phases identified by the Issue number. The CRI will be revised by Team members to indicate significant progress, and the Issue number will be raised for each such revision. The last Issue is when the CRI is revised to summarize the resolution of the issue, including final Applicant and Jordanian positions, the conclusion, and change of the CRI Status to "closed".

(7) The date at which the latest Issue is issued.

(8) The CRI Status will indicate the status of issue resolution, i.e. "OPEN" or "CLOSED".

The status "OPEN" or "CLOSED" DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE COMPLIANCE STATUS. The CRI Status will remain "OPEN" until final action has been completed.

(9) The "Next Action By" identifies the person(s) or body responsible for the next action in

progressing the closure of the CRI (e.g. PCM, Team, Applicant, etc.).

(10) The "Statement of Issue" is probably the most important part of the paper. The first and most important step in resolving any significant issue is to formulate the issue in a clear, short, and concise statement that is understood by all concerned.

Example: The Applicant has requested approval of a Heads-Up Display (HUD) installation. The Type Certification Basis (TCB) does not include approval criteria for HUD.

(11) When a CRI is first developed, the PCM should agree a closure target date with the Applicant. Any change in this target date must be negotiated between the PCM and Applicant.

(12) Provide a summary discussion of the issue. This may be broken down to:-

(a) A non-controversial background statement,

(b) CARC Position Statement to explain the concerns, opinions and arguments etc.

(c) Development by the Applicant of an Applicant's Position Statement, providing comments on the issue, opinions, arguments, etc.

The discussion statement may be as long as necessary to document the background behind an issue and to present both sides of the issue (if controversial); however, every effort should be made to keep it as concise as possible without compromising understanding for resolution. Reference to letters or other documents may be necessary to cover details. At each subsequent Issue, the text from previous editions will normally be retained so that reference back to previous Issues is not necessary to understand the status of resolution. The purpose of the discussion statements is to provide an understanding of the issue and the most current position of all parties, on its resolution and the path leading to the resolution.

(13) When a decision on how to resolve an issue has been reached, this decision will be documented by the PCM in the "conclusion" statement. In some cases tentative conclusions may be stated in advance of a final agreed position.
