This chapter shall refer to the aircraft, engines and component maintenance programmes (scheduled tasks, inspections,
adjustment, tests, replacement of component/limited life parts...). The content of the maintenance program remains always
the responsibility of the Operator. However the CAMO organisation may delegate certain functions to the Part-145
organisation under contract, provided this organisation proves to have the appropriate expertise.

The follow up of the airworthiness directives is the responsibility of the owner/operator who must request their enforcement
on the work order sent to the AMO. The AMO is then responsible to embody the ADs which have been ordered.
It is necessary to make a difference between the activities of management / launching of ADs on behalf of the customers

A sign-off is a statement by the competent person performing or supervising the work, that the task or group of tasks has been correctly performed. A sign-off
relates to one step in the maintenance process and is therefore different from the release to service of the aircraft
job descriptions identified within the organisations (e.g. certifying staff/support staff in MOE 3.4, qualifying mechanics in
MOE 3.8, qualifying inspectors in MOE 3.7, etc.).
The procedure shall clearly indicate when a task is to be considered signed-off and by which mean (e.g. use of personal
stamp, use of signature, combination of stamp plus signature, etc.).
The use of a sum m ary t able for t ask s- sign off is recom m ended. Exam ple:

MOE Part L2 is intended to provide additional procedures which are specific for the line maintenance environment, which
have been not been covered in the MOE Part 2. Where a procedure, was already covered in the MOE part 2 and there is
no need of further detail to be added, a direct reference to the MOE (part 2) chapter may be used in the relevant MOE (part
L2) chapter.

This chapter is dedicated to the qualification and authorisation of the qualifying inspectors which undertake inspection
functions and sign-off the related task(s).
The various types of Qualifying inspector personnel, as applicable to the organisation, need to be addressed (e.g. aircraft
inspector, component inspector, engine inspector, store receiving inspector, etc.).
For example, they may be authorised:

As Aircraft/component/engine qualifying inspectors, in order to sign-off (ref. MOE 2.13 table):
o the tasks performed under supervision (i.e. work performed by trainees);
o the independent inspection tasks.
As Store incoming inspectors, to perform and attest the receiving inspection of aircraft components/materials as
per MOE 2.2 procedure
An Aircraft/component/engine qualifying inspectors is not authorised to issue a release to service for aircraft or component
or engine, unless he/she is also holding a certifying staff privilege.
Note: In the aircraft base maintenance environment the qualifying inspectors function does not correspond to the support
staff function. After the task sign-off, a further inspection stage is necessary by B1 and/or B2 Support staff as applicable.
B1 and B2 Support Staff shall ensure that all relevant tasks or inspections have been carried out to the required standard
before the category C certifying staff issues the certificate of release to service.
When the staff is holding more than one authorisation (i.e. qualifying mechanic, qualifying inspector and certifying staff),
the different authorisations shall be clearly distinguished.
For example: a person may be at the same time:

- qualifying mechanic on the A320(CFM56), B777 (GE90) and ERJ-170 (GE CF34);
- qualifying inspector on the A320(CFM56) and B777 (GE90);
- holding a certification authorisation as certifying staff only for the B777 (GE90);
Clear differentiation is expected for each different ratings in the scope of work (e.g. aircraft, engines, components,
specialised services).

This chapter shall refer to the different specialities of technicians (mechanics, avionics, sheet metal workers, cabin, fuel,
engines, painters, welders, cleaners, components, NDT staff, composites, line maintenance, ...), as applicable to the
organisation. Those personnel have to be considered authorised by the maintenance organisation approved under Part-
14
145 to sign-off tasks that the authorised qualifying mechanic has personally performed. Consistency shall be ensured
with the sign-off policy described in MOE chapter 2.13. An authorised qualifying mechanic is not authorised to issue a
release to service for aircraft or component or engine or NDT, unless he/she is also holding a certifying staff privilege.
When the staff is holding more than one authorisation (i.e. qualifying mechanic, qualifying inspector and certifying staff),
the different authorisations shall be clearly distinguished.
For example: a person may be at the same time:

A sign-off is a statement by the competent person performing or supervising the work, that the task or group of tasks has been correctly performed. A sign-off
relates to one step in the maintenance process and is therefore different from the release to service of the aircraft

This chapter must describe the procedures of the organisation regarding exceptional authorisations related to maintenance
tasks. As per Appendix XI to AMC to M.A.708.(c), deviations have to be requested by the operator to its competent
authority or granted by the operator in accordance with a procedure acceptable to its competent authority. The contract
between the operator and the maintenance organisation shall specify the support the Part-145 approved organisation may
provide to the operator in order to substantiate the deviation request. This chapter is to be considered applicable only
under these circumstances.
