Cooperative Development of Operational Cooperative Development of Operational Safety & Continuing AirworthinessSafety & Continuing Airworthiness
OBJECTIVE.
This chapter provides guidance for evaluating an operator/applicant's company manual or revision to
ensure that policies, procedures, and
technical criteria meet state (NAA) regulatory requirements.
ICAO Annex 6, Chapter 11.3
‘an operator shall ensure that there is provided, for the use and guidance of maintenance organizations and personnel, a maintenance manual containing the following information: procedures for servicing and maintenance, an aeroplane maintenance program the responsibilities of the various classes of
skilled maintenance personnel the servicing and maintenance methods
which may be prescribed by, or which require the prior approval of, the State of Registry; and
the procedures for preparing the maintenance release………………..etc
GENERALA company manual should enable the
operator's maintenance personnel to carry out their duties at a high level of safety. The complexity of the manual will vary with the complexity of the
operation. The manual should cover specific items in
accordance with the applicable Regulations, but may include additional items at the discretion of the applicant.
GENERAL
A manual containing more than required information is therefore accepted rather than approved.
Inspectors should be concerned primarily with regulatory compliance.
GENERAL
The manual is an administrative tool used to control and direct personnel. It should define all aspects of the maintenance operation. (1) The policies and procedures section
should address organizational matters.
(2) The maintenance section should address policies and
procedures for administering the inspection and maintenance requirements
GENERAL
The manual should include detailed instructions for accomplishing inspection and maintenance functions. It should also include forms, instructions, and references for recurring non-routine requirements.

of manual sections and titles. The list which follows is not exhaustive, but includes the principal topics which need to be considered for inclusion as procedures in the manual.
