Continuing Airworthiness for CAMO Staff

Overview

Applied continuing-airworthiness knowledge training for CAMO staff: responsibilities, AMP/reliability, AD/configuration, records/defects, component life, review/ARC boundaries, competence, safety management and Part-145 oversight. 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.

1. 1

   Welcome & course scope

   scopeaudienceassessment

   Objective: Distinguish general course learning from assessed CAMO task competence and formal airworthiness review authorisation.

2. 2

   The continuing-airworthiness system from the CAMO desk

   Objective: Identify the applicable responsibility arrangement and complete a usable aircraft-status handover.

3. 3

   IR, AMC and GM for CAMO decisions

   IRAMCGMdecision-making

   Objective: Assess an AMP change’s technical basis separately from the CAME approval route and preserve the current requirement pending approval.

4. 4

   Part-M paragraphs for CAMO staff

   Part-MM.A. paragraphsCAMO duties

   Objective: Route scheduled maintenance, undocumented repairs and recurring defects through their distinct Part-M controls.

5. 5

   M.A.301 — the CAMO master checklist

   M.A.301continuing airworthiness tasksmaster checklist

   Objective: Reconcile the full aircraft-status picture, including defects, ADs, configuration and mass/balance dependencies.

6. 6

   AMP and reliability programme control

   AMPmaintenance programmereliabilityescalation

   Objective: Calculate an exposure-normalised reliability rate and explain why a short trend alone cannot approve an interval extension.

7. 7

   ADs, modifications, repairs and configuration control

   airworthiness directivesmodificationsrepairsconfiguration

   Objective: Assess configuration-dependent AD applicability, competing initial limits and repetitive tracking from actual accomplishment.

8. 8

   Records, technical log and defect control

   recordstechnical logdefectsMEL

   Objective: Correct utilisation traceably, verify deferral conditions and apply record-specific retention and transfer controls.

9. 9

   Component status and life-limited parts

   componentslife-limited partsstatushard time

   Objective: Calculate remaining component life and forecast exposure without assuming that release or overhaul resets every limit.

10. 10

    Airworthiness review and ARC

    airworthiness reviewARCrecommendation

    Objective: Resolve review discrepancies using records and physical evidence; distinguish current review, issue, extension and validity requirements.

11. 11

    Part-CAMO paragraphs — organisation, SMS, records, staff and airworthiness management

    Part-CAMOorganisationSMSairworthiness management

    Objective: Retain control of contracted management tasks and make prompt required occurrence reports without waiting for a final investigation.

12. 12

    CAME, management system and SMS

    CAMEmanagement systemSMScompliance monitoring

    Objective: Use repeated near misses to improve and test process controls while preserving binding compliance obligations.

13. 13

    CAMO personnel, competence and ARS qualification

    personnelcompetenceARSqualification

    Objective: Assess personnel competence for changed functions and establish maintained ARS qualification and authorisation before use.

14. 14

    Contracting Part-145 and overseeing maintenance

    contractingPart-145oversightmaintenance contract

    Objective: Check a maintenance provider’s actual task capability and define scope-change, escalation and records-return interfaces.

15. 15

    Part-145 paragraphs CAMO staff must understand for oversight

    Part-145oversightevidenceinterface

    Objective: Obtain AMO product-impact and accomplishment evidence while preserving the distinction between CAMO acceptance and maintenance certification.

16. 16

    Part-145 evidence the CAMO should expect

    evidenceCRSwork orderrecords

    Objective: Resolve missing accomplishment and serial-identity evidence before updating affected forecasts and status records.

17. 17

    Applied scenario — AD, work order and ARC evidence

    scenarioADwork orderARCapplication

    Objective: Plan a mandatory inspection before its threshold, close conditional actions and calculate the next repetitive due from actual accomplishment.

18. 18

    What this course deliberately skips

    scope boundariesout of scopesignposting

    Objective: Recognise regulatory, design-approval and organisational scope boundaries and provide a controlled route for beyond-scope requests.

    Objective: Distinguish approved, implemented and verified changes and prioritise unresolved aircraft-status risks before declaring completion.
