Q

Implementing Rule Continuing Airworthiness has 4-new parts - Annex Va to Vd, briefly explain what each annex covers?

A

Annex Va Part-T: Covers (Dry Lease) licensed operators, operating aircraft registered in a third country.
Annex Vb (Part-ML): requirements to ensure that an aircraft remains airworthy.
Applicable to non-complex aircraft less than 2730Kg MTOM, rotorcraft 1200 kg or less, or other European Light Aircraft 2 (ELA 2) category aircraft. It contains requirements similar to Part M but is less burdensome, or lighter, and easier to comply with.
Annex Vc (Part-CAMO): requirements to be met by an organisation to be issued a Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation Certificate for the management of continuing airworthiness of an aircraft and of its components. The requirements within Part-CAMO are very similar to the current requirements of Part-M Subpart-G. Part-M Subpart-G will be superseded by Part-CAMO on 24th Sept 2021
Annex Vd (Part-CAO): only applicable to non-complex motor-powered aircraft which are not used for commercial purposes. Part-CAO establishes the requirements to be met by Combined Airworthiness Organisations. These organisations are approved to carry out maintenance operations as well as continuing airworthiness management functions of aircraft and aircraft components. Combining these functions simplifies the process for smaller aviation organisations.
