Airworthiness
This section details the requirements for the maintenance and that of continued airworthiness management of aircraft.
The requirements for the approval of maintenance organisations, the Certificate of Airworthiness and continued airworthiness responsibilities are contained within the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order (AN(OT)O) Articles 14, 8 and 10 respectively.
Certification standards for aircraft specified in Overseas Territories Aviation Requirement (OTAR) Part 21.25 largely influence the airworthiness requirements that are designed to support the original certification standard.
Continued airworthiness requirements can be found in OTAR Part 39. Operators are required by the applicable requirements of OTARs to have suitable arrangements for maintenance and continued airworthiness management by reference to OTAR Part 39.
Maintenance requirements are covered in OTAR Parts 145 and 43. The circumstances of the maintenance activity and that of the approved maintenance organisation will influence the requirement for maintenance personnel to hold an OTAR Part 66 licence.
