OTAR 145 Aircraft Maintenance Organisation Approval: Issue 4

11/09/2009

The requirements of this OTAR Part cover the granting and renewing of maintenance organisation approvals.

There are two approval options under this OTAR Part:

  1. Option 1, acceptance of an approval granted by a foreign National Aviation Authority acceptable to the Governor.
  2. Option 2, the approval of an organisation that does not hold any maintenance approvals granted by a foreign National Aviation Authority acceptable to the Governor.
  3. Throughout this Part reference is made to the options identified in paragraph 145.1(a)(1) and (2). The options are not at the discretion of an applicant but are routes that depend on the existing approval status of an organisation.

The Order details the legal obligations governing the approval of maintenance organisations. The Order specifies these obligations in rather general terms, therefore there is a provision in Article 152 to the Order which requires the Governor to publish Requirements to augment, amplify and detail more precisely the manner in which these obligations shall be met. The Requirements are the means by which the approved organisation will be able to satisfy the Governor as to the fulfilment of the obligations in respect of the maintenance of an aircraft or the entitlement of the holder to hold and exercise the privileges of a certificate, licence or approval.
