Continuing Airworthiness for Part-145 Staff

Overview

Applied continuing-airworthiness knowledge training for Part-145 maintenance staff: approval and task scope, people and recency, tools/data, parts/life limits, handover/error capture, CRS boundaries, records/reporting, management systems and CAMO interfaces. Nineteen sections combine rule navigation, original worked examples and 57 optional scenario decisions with answer-specific feedback. The final examination draws exactly 12 questions from a 24-question bank and requires 75% (9 correct). Classroom hours are classroom-equivalent planning estimates, not measured seat time or regulatory minima. Completion supports a training record; it does not grant an approval, licence, practical competence qualification or workplace authorisation. Reviewed 10 September 2026.

This online aviation training course is designed for controlled seat assignment, recorded trainee progress, final assessment, and certificate issue after passing.

Course revision 2, reviewed 2026-09-10. References support the training scope; operational use requires current applicable rules and the organisation’s accepted procedures.

Syllabus

19 modules, completed in order — each with its keywords and objective.

1. 1

   Welcome & course scope

   scopeaudienceassessment

   Objective: Distinguish course completion from task competence and release authorisation, and use the worked examples within their training scope.

2. 2

   The continuing-airworthiness system from the hangar floor

   continuing airworthinesssystem overviewinterfaces

   Objective: Resolve a work-order effectivity mismatch through the CAMO–AMO interface while preserving each party’s applicable responsibilities.

3. 3

   IR, AMC and GM — how to use them

   IRAMCGMrule structure

   Objective: Distinguish implementing requirements, AMC, GM and MOE procedures; route a proposed alternative compliance method before live use.

4. 4

   Part-M paragraphs that maintenance staff must understand

   Part-MM.A. paragraphsmaintenance duties

   Objective: Identify the separate controls for AMP work, unscheduled defects, ADs and modification or repair data.

5. 5

   Part-M in practice — work package, defects and records

   work packagedefectsrecordsdeferral

   Objective: Reconcile requested work, actual accomplishment and open defects using authentic measurements and authorised deferral evidence.

6. 6

   Part-145 paragraphs — approval, people, tools, work and release

   145.A paragraphsapprovalreleaseoverview

   Objective: Trace the approval-to-release control chain and resolve a missing critical-task inspection before certification.

7. 7

   Approval scope, facilities and staffing

   scope of approvalfacilitiesstaffingcapability list

   Objective: Assess approval scope, location, facility protection and actual qualified capacity for a proposed maintenance job.

8. 8

   Certifying staff and support staff currency

   certifying staffsupport staffcurrencyauthorisation

   Objective: Distinguish licence, company authorisation, actual relevant experience and continuation training; control unproven certification currency.

9. 9

   Tools, equipment and maintenance data

   toolscalibrationequipmentmaintenance data

   Objective: Assess tool capability and current applicable data, and identify the product-impact review required after a calibration failure.

10. 10

    Components, materials and life limits

    componentsmaterialslife limitsEASA Form 1

    Objective: Distinguish release status, installation eligibility and serial-specific life evidence, including standard-part acceptance boundaries.

11. 11

    Planning, handover and error capture

    planningshift handovererror capturehuman factors

    Objective: Use a reconstructable handover, verified restart point and prescribed critical-task error capture.

12. 12

    Certificate of Release to Service (CRS)

    CRSrelease to serviceconditionsprivileges

    Objective: Determine when incomplete maintenance may be lawfully recorded in a CRS and when a known unsafe condition prevents normal release for flight.

13. 13

    Records, reporting and the safety loop

    recordsoccurrence reportingsafety loopfeedback

    Objective: Separate immediate safety action, internal learning and required external reporting; apply record-category retention rather than a blanket deletion age.

14. 14

    MOE, management system, information security and change

    MOEmanagement systemPart-ISchange

    Objective: Protect live maintenance decisions during a records-integrity incident and distinguish immediate correction from effective corrective action.

15. 15

    Part-CAMO paragraphs maintenance staff need at the interface

    Part-CAMOinterfacework orderAMP

    Objective: Provide the status-relevant maintenance evidence needed for CAMO planning and airworthiness review without indiscriminate personal-data disclosure.

16. 16

    CAMO ↔ Part-145 interface — what must move both ways

    interfacework orderfeedbackcontract

    Objective: Close a maintenance scope change with traceable component identity, release evidence and confirmed CAMO receipt.

17. 17

    Applied scenario — tooling, aircraft maintenance and currency

    scenariotoolingcurrencyapplication

    Objective: Resolve interacting data, calibration, recency and critical-task constraints before relying on a release.

18. 18

    What this course deliberately skips

    scope boundariesout of scopesignposting

    Objective: Identify requests outside the taught regulatory or approval scope and route them to the applicable rules, data and authorised decision-maker.

19. 19

    Course summary & Part-145 role checklist

    summaryrole checklistself-check

    Objective: Reconcile final package evidence, unresolved items and reporting status without treating course success as a certification privilege.

Final assessment

• Format: 12 multiple-choice questions drawn from the course question bank, with the options shuffled each attempt.
• Pass mark: 75%.
• Certificate: issued automatically on passing, according to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 as amended, including applicable Regulation (EU) 2026/100 provisions; current EASA AMC/GM.
