The aircraft owner is responsible for the management of the aircraft’s continuing airworthiness. The owner may conclude a contact to transfer this responsibility to an approved airworthiness management organisation (Part-CAMO) or to a combined air worthiness organisation (Part-CAO). In operations subject to an AOC in commercial air transport, the party responsible for airworthiness must always be an approved Part-CAMO organisation.
Continuing airworthiness management means drawing up and keeping a maintenance programme for the aircraft, seeing to it that maintenance in accordance with the maintenance programme is carried out on time by an approved maintenance mechanic (certifying staff), and keeping and retaining the technical records of the aircraft.
A continuing airworthiness management organisation may also receive the right to carry out aircraft airworthiness reviews (=surveys).
Traficom issues the approvals of Finnish CAMO organisations and oversees their operation.
Applying for Part-CAMO approval
You can apply for an approval for a continuing airworthiness management organisation from Traficom if the organisation's head office is in Finland.
For the processing of the matter, Traficom will nominate an inspector responsible for your organisation, who will be your contact person in matters related to the approval.
If necessary, you can already contact Traficom before the official application.
- Statutory basis
The requirements for the continuing airworthiness management of aircraft are defined in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 and its Annex Vc (Part-CAMO).
