• Foundation topics: International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), structure of a typical EU Civil Aviation Authority, and the concept of airworthiness.
• Knowledge in the Design and Production field: Design Organisation Approval process, certification of large and small aircraft, rotorcraft, flight handling, propulsion regulation, power plant installation, aircraft equipment approvals, installation approval, structures
• Requirements regarding continuing airworthiness: maintenance and reliability programmes, airworthiness and avionics, ageing aircraft, quality in aircraft maintenance, engineer licensing, EASA Part 145 approved organisations and the Air Operators Certificate
• Quality in aircraft maintenance and engineer licensing
• Identify with flight operations and maintenance: The Air Operators Certificate, aerial work and corporate aircraft and MMEL
• Knowledge regarding interfaces: accident and occurrence reporting, flight data recording analysis and aircraft accident prevention.
The objective of the three-day handbook and procedures review was to check the Civil Aviation Authority’s compliance with ICAO Doc 9760 and EASA requirements and will consist of a review of Staff qualification and competence procedures, Organisation approval procedures, CofA Issuance procedures, Reliability and MEL procedures and associated forms and checklists.
