Findings (NCAR 145.B.50)When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing non-compliance withthe requirements of NCAR- 145, the following actions will be taken:9.1 For level 1 findings, immediate action will be taken to revoke, limit or suspend inwhole or in part of approval, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding, themaintenance organization approval, until successful corrective action has been takenJuly 2012 Page 15

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/Mby the organization. In practical terms, a level 1 finding is noted where a significantnon-compliance with NCAR 145 is found. The following are examples of level 1finding:Failure to gain access to the organisation during normal operating hours of theorganisation in accordance with NCAR 145.A.90 (2) after two written requests.If the calibration control of equipment as specified in NCAR 145.A.40 (b) hadpreviously broken down on a particular type product line such that most“calibrated” equipment was suspect from that time then that would be a level 1finding.Note: A complete product line is defined as all the aircraft, engine or componentof a particular type.9.2 For a level 1 finding it may be necessary for officers of Airworthiness InspectionDivision to ensure that further maintenance and re-certification of all affected productsis accomplished, dependent upon the nature of the finding.9.3 For level 2 findings, the corrective action period granted must be appropriate to thenature of the finding, but in any case initially must not be more than three months. Incertain circumstances and subject to the nature of the finding, the three month periodmay be extended subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan agreed. In practicalterms where an officer of Airworthiness office finds a non-compliance with NCAR -145 against one product, it is deemed to be a level 2 finding. The following areexample level 2 findings:One time use of a component without any serviceable tag.The training documents of the certifying staff are not completed.9.4 Action will be taken to suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure tocomply within the timescale granted. Where the organisation has not implemented thenecessary corrective action within that period, it may be appropriate to grant a furtherperiod of up to three months, subject to notifying the accountable manager. Inexceptional circumstances and subject to a realistic action plan being in place, theDirector General, CAA Nepal may specifically vary the maximum 6 month correctiveaction period. However, in granting such a change the past performance of theorganization will be considered.9.5 It may be necessary to ensure that further maintenance and re-certification of allaffected products is accomplished, dependent upon the nature of the finding.10.

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M1. CAAN – General (AMC M.B.102 (a))1.1 In deciding upon the required airworthiness organisational structure, the CAAN willreview the number of certificates to be issued, the number and size of potentialoperators, the number of M.A. Subpart F approved maintenance organisations and M.A.Subpart G continuing airworthiness management organisations within Nepal.1.2 The CAAN will retain effective control of important inspection functions and notdelegate them in such a way that aircraft owners, operators, M.A. Subpart F approvedmaintenance organisations and M.A. Subpart G continuing airworthiness managementorganisations, in effect, regulate themselves in airworthiness matters.1.3 The set-up of the organisational structure will ensure that the various tasks andobligations of the CAAN are not relying on individuals. That means that a continuingand undisturbed fulfillment of these tasks and obligations of the CAAN will also beguaranteed in case of illness, accident or leave of individual employees.2. CAAN – Qualification and training (AMC M.B.102 (c))2.1 CAAN inspectors will have:2.1.1 practical experience and expertise in the application of aviation safety standards andsafe operating practices;2.1.2 comprehensive knowledge of:(a) relevant parts of implementing rules, certification specifications and guidancematerial;(b) the CAAN’s procedures;(c) the rights and obligations of an inspector;(d) quality systems;(e) continuing airworthiness management.2.1.3 training on auditing techniques.2.1.4 five years relevant work experience to be allowed to work as an inspectorindependently.This may include experience gained during training to obtain the Para 2.1.5qualification.2.1.5 a relevant engineering degree or an aircraft maintenance technician qualificationwith additional education. 'Relevant engineering degree’ means an engineeringdegree from aeronautical, mechanical, electrical, electronic, avionic or otherstudies relevant to the maintenance and continuing airworthiness of aircraft/aircraft components.July 2012 Page 60

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M2.1.6 knowledge of a relevant sample of the type(s) of aircraft gained through aformalized training course including Fuel Tank Safety (FTS) training as describedin Appendix XII to AMC to M.A.706 (f) and Para 2. These courses will be at leastat a level equivalent to Part-66 Appendix III Level 1 General Familiarisation.“Relevant sample” means that these courses will cover typical systems embodied inthose aircraft being within the scope of approval.2.1.7 knowledge of maintenance standards.2.2 In addition to technical competency, inspectors will have a high degree of integrity, beimpartial in carrying out their tasks, be tactful, and have a good understanding of humannature.2.3 A programme for continuation training will be developed which provides for theinspectors, at regular intervals, to visit appropriate manufacturers and attend technicalsymposia as well as training or refresher courses to gain first-hand knowledge of newdevelopments. As a general policy, it is not desirable for the inspectors to obtaintechnical qualifications from those entities under their direct regulatory jurisdiction.3. CAAN organisation – Procedures (AMC M.B.102 (d))The documented procedures will contain the following information:(a) The CAAN’s designation.(b) The title(s) and name(s) of the manager(s) of the CAAN and their duties andresponsibilities.(c) Organisation chart(s) showing associated chains of responsibility of the seniorpersons.(d) A procedure defining the qualifications for staff together with a list of staffauthorised to sign certificates.(e) A general description of the facilities.(f) Procedures specifying how the CAAN ensure(s) compliance with Part-M.4. Acceptable means of compliance (NCAR M.B.103)CAAN will develop acceptable means of compliance CAAN may use to establishcompliance with this Part. When the acceptable means of compliance are complied with,the related requirements of this Part will be considered as met.5. Record-keeping (NCAR M.B.104)5.1 CAAN will establish a system of record-keeping that allows adequate traceability ofthe process to issue, continue, change, suspend or revoke each certificate.July 2012 Page 61

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M5.2 The records for the oversight of Part-M approved organisations will include as aminimum:(a) the application for an organisation approval.(b) the organisation approval certificate including any changes.(c) a copy of the audit program listing the dates when audits are due and when auditswere carried out.(d) the CAAN continued oversight records including all audit records.(e) copies of all relevant correspondence.(f) details of any exemption and enforcement actions.(g) organisation exposition or manual and amendments.(h) copy of any other document directly approved by the CAAN.5.3 The retention period for the Para 5.2 records will be at least four years.5.4 The minimum records for the oversight of each aircraft will include, at least, a copyof:(a) aircraft certificate of airworthiness,(b) airworthiness review certificates,(c) Section A Subpart G organisation recommendations,(d) reports from the airworthiness reviews carried out directly by CAAN,(e) all relevant correspondence relating to the aircraft,(f) details of any exemption and enforcement action(s),5.5 The records specified in Para 5.4 will be retained until two years after the aircrafthas been permanently withdrawn from service.6. Record-keeping (AMC M.B.104 (a))6.1 The record-keeping system will ensure that all records are accessible wheneverneeded within a reasonable time. These records will be organized in a consistentway throughout the CAAN (chronological, alphabetical order, etc.).6.2 All records containing sensitive data regarding applicants or organisations will bestored in a secure manner with controlled access to ensure confidentiality of thiskind of data.July 2012 Page 62

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M6.3 All computer hardware used to ensure data backup will be stored in a differentlocation from that containing the working data in an environment that ensures theyremain in good condition. When hardware- or software-changes take place specialcare will be taken that all necessary data continues to be accessible at least throughthe full period specified in Para 5.3 and/or Para 5.57. Record-keeping (AMC M.B.104 (f))The cases, when records will be made available will be limited to:- incidents or accidents,- findings through the aircraft continuing monitoring program where organisationsapproved by another CAAN are involved, to determine the root cause,8. Responsibilities (NCAR M.B.201)The CAAN as specified in AMC M.1 are responsible for conducting inspections andinvestigations in order to verify that the requirements of this Part are complied with.9. Maintenance programme (NCAR M.B.301)9.1 The CAAN will verify that the maintenance programme is in compliance withM.A.302.9.2 Except where stated otherwise in point M.A.302(c) the maintenance programme andits amendments will be approved directly by the CAAN.9.3 In the case of indirect approval, the maintenance programme procedure will beapproved by the CAAN through the continuing airworthiness managementexposition.9.4 In order to approve a maintenance programme according to Para 9.2, the CAAN willhave access to all the data required in points NCAR M.A. 302(d), (e) and (f).Para 9.1, Maintenance programme, For the CAAN to verify compliance with NCARM.A.302, the auditing surveyor/inspector will have received training on maintenanceprogramme development and control.10. Maintenance Programme (AMC M.B.301 (b))10.1 When assessing aircraft maintenance programmes for approval, the CAAN willverify that the maintenance programme is acceptable for the continuedairworthiness of the specific aircraft listed and it is appropriate for the proposedoperating environment and scheduled utilisation.10.2 The CAAN will assess the contents taking into account the origins of the documenti.e. the manufacturers recommended maintenance programme, a MRB report, theoperators own experience or another approved programme.July 2012 Page 63

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M10.3 A CAAN may elect to publish a proposed maintenance schedule for a pistonengined aircraft type or a group of piston engined aircraft types below 2730 Kgsmaximum take off mass (MTOM) or for a sailplane, powered sailplane or balloontype or for a group of sailplanes, powered sailplanes or balloon types. Whenowners/operators of the aircraft mentioned above elect to use a CAAN proposedmaintenance schedule, all the out of phase manufacturer recommendations will beincorporated into the final maintenance programme in order for it to be approved.10.4 A copy of the approved programme will be retained by the CAAN, unless theprogramme is approved by a M.A. Subpart G approved organisation.10.5 The documentation issued by the CAAN to approve the operator’s maintenanceprogramme may include details of who may issue certificates of release to servicein a particular situation and may define which tasks are considered as complexmaintenance tasks or limited pilot owner maintenance according to Appendix VIIIto NCAR Part M.10.6 In the case of commercial air transport or large aircraft, development of theapproved operator’s maintenance programme is dependent upon sufficientsatisfactory in-service experience which has been properly processed. In general,the task being considered for escalation beyond the MRB limits will have beensatisfactorily repeated at the existing frequency several times before beingproposed for escalation. Appendix I to AMC M.A.302 and Para 10 gives furtherinformation.10.7 The CAAN may approve an incomplete maintenance programme at the start ofoperation of an aircraft or an operator, subject to limiting the approval of themaintenance programme to a period that does not exceed any requiredmaintenance not yet approved.10.8 If the CAAN is no longer satisfied that a safe operation can be maintained, theapproval of a maintenance programme or part of it may be suspended or revoked.Events giving rise to such action include:(a) An operator changing the utilisation of an aircraft;(b) The owner or M.A. Subpart G approved organisation has failed to ensure that theprogramme reflects the maintenance needs of the aircraft such that safe operationcan be assured.11. Maintenance Programme (AMC M.B.301 (c))11.1 Approval of an aircraft maintenance programme through a procedure establishedby a M.A. Subpart G organisation will require the organisation to demonstrate tothe CAAN that it has competence, procedures and record keeping provisions,which will enable the organisation to analyse aircraft reliability, TC holder’sinstructions, and other related operating and maintenance criteria.11.2 According to the complexity of the aircraft and the nature of the operation, themaintenance programme procedures will contain reliability centred maintenanceJuly 2012 Page 64

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/Mand condition monitored maintenance programme procedures and have proceduresrelating to the programme control which contain the following provisions:(a) task escalation or adjustment,(b) maintenance programme review,(c) SB or Service Information assessment,(d) component and structures in service performance review,(e) maintenance programme revision,(f) maintenance procedure effectiveness review and amendment,(g) maintenance review board report (MRBR) or manufacturer maintenance planningdocument (MPD) review and assessment, as appropriate,(h) AD review and assessment,(i) owner/maintenance/M.A. Subpart G organisation liaison,(j) training.11.3 When the CAAN requests, the organisation will make provision for the attendancea CAAN representative at meetings held to consider maintenance implicationsarising from reviews of the above provisions.12. Maintenance programme (AMC M.B.301 (d))Programmes and all associated airworthiness data, including that data used forsubstantiating the escalation of programmes will be made available to the CAAN uponrequest.13. Exemptions (NCAR M.B.302)All exemptions granted in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation will berecorded and retained by the CAAN.14. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (NCAR M.B.303)14.1 The CAAN will develop a survey programme to monitor the airworthiness statusof the fleet of aircraft on its register.14.2 The survey programme will include sample product surveys of aircraft.14.3 The programme will be developed taking into account the number of aircraft onthe register, local knowledge and past surveillance activities.July 2012 Page 65

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M14.4 The product survey will focus on a number of key risk airworthiness elements andidentify any findings. Furthermore, the CAAN will analyse each finding todetermine its root cause.14.5 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the person or organisation accountableaccording to NCAR M.A.201.14.6 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions and recommendations.14.7 If during aircraft surveys evidence is found showing non-compliance to a NCAR-M requirement, the CAAN will take actions in accordance with Para 63.14.8 If the root cause of the finding identifies non-compliance with any Subpart or withanother Part, the non-compliance will be dealt with as prescribed by the relevantPart.14.9 In order to facilitate appropriate enforcement action, CAAN will exchangeinformation on non-compliances identified in accordance with Para 14.8.15. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (AMC M.B.303)The CAAN may create an adapted airworthiness survey programme for the aircraft forwhich it performs the airworthiness review.16. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (*) (AMC M.B.303 (b))16.1 Sample product surveys of aircraft include:(a) in depth surveys carried out during extensive maintenance that fully encompassselected aspects of an aircraft’s airworthiness.(b) ramp surveys carried out during aircraft operations to monitor the apparentcondition of an aircraft’s airworthiness.(c) in-flight surveys, as deemed necessary by the CAAN.16.2 The CAAN will undertake regular sample product surveys of aircraft on itsregister to verify that:(a) the condition of an aircraft as sampled is to a standard acceptable for theCertificate of Airworthiness to remain in force,(b) the operator/Owner’s management of the airworthiness of their aircraft iseffective,(c) satisfactory levels of continued airworthiness are being achieved,(d) the approval and licenses granted to organisations and persons continue to beapplied in a consistent manner to achieve the required standards.July 2012 Page 66

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M17. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (AMC M.B.303 (c))CAAN will create an annual programme of surveys, selecting aircraft and/or operatorsdepending on local knowledge of the maintenance environment, operating conditions,airworthiness standards and past surveillance experience. The programme will be used toidentify the operator/fleet/aircraft, which are causing the greatest concern.18. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (AMC M.B.303 (d))18.1 Appendix III to this AMC is an example format for an annual in depth surveyprogramme. A sample of the 14 key risk airworthiness elements identified onthe example will be assessed during each survey and the survey will include theaircraft as the product sample. The survey will be a ‘deep cut’ through theelements or systems selected and all findings will be recorded.Surveyors/inspectors in conjunction with the owners, operators and maintenanceorganisations will identify the root cause of each confirmed finding.18.2 In addition, an annual ramp survey programme will be developed based ongeographical locations, taking into account airfield activity, and focusing on keyissues that can be surveyed in the time available without unnecessarily delayingthe aircraft.18.3 Surveyors/inspectors will be satisfied that the root cause found and the correctiveactions taken are adequate to correct the deficiency and to prevent reoccurrence.18.4 Where the aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring survey visit can be linkedto the oversight of an approved organisation then credit can be taken in themonitoring process of that approved organisation.19. Revocation, suspension and limitation (NCAR M.B.304)The CAAN will:(a) suspend an airworthiness review certificate on reasonable grounds in the case ofpotential safety threat, or;(b) suspend, revoke or limit an airworthiness review certificate pursuant to NCARM.B.303(g) (14.7)20. Initial Approval (NCAR M.B.602)20.1 Provided the requirements of NCAR M.A. 606 (a) and (b) are complied with,the CAAN will formally indicate its acceptance of the NCAR M.A. 606 (a) and(b) personnel to the applicant in writing.20.2 The CAAN will establish that the procedures specified in the maintenanceorganisation manual comply with M.A Subpart F and ensure the accountablemanager signs the commitment statement.July 2012 Page 67

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M20.3 The CAAN will verify that the organisation is in compliance with the Part-M.ASubpart F requirements.20.4 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once duringthe investigation for approval to ensure that he/she fully understands thesignificance of the approval and the reason for signing the commitment of theorganisation to compliance with the procedures specified in the manual.20.5 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.20.6 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close afinding) and recommendations.20.7 For initial approval all findings will be corrected by the organisation and closedby the CAAN before the approval can be issued.21. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (a))21.1 ‘Formally indicate in writing’ means that a CAAN Form 4 (Appendix X) willbe used for this activity. With the exception of the accountable manager, aCAAN Form 4 will be completed for each person nominated to hold a positionrequired by NCAR M.A.606 (b).21.2 In the case of the accountable manager approval of the maintenance organisationmanual containing the accountable manager’s signed commitment statementconstitutes formal acceptance.22. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (b))The CAAN will indicate approval of the maintenance organisation manual in writing.23. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (c))23.1 The CAAN will determine by whom, and how the audit will be conducted. Forexample, it will be necessary to determine whether one large team audit or ashort series of small team audits or a long series of single man audits are mostappropriate for the particular situation.23.2 The audit may be carried out on a product line type basis. For example, in thecase of an organisation with Socata TB20 and Piper PA 28 ratings, the audit isconcentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon theresult, the second type may only require a sample check that will at least coverthe activities identified as weak for the first type.23.3 The CAAN auditing surveyor will always ensure that he/she is accompaniedthroughout the audit by a senior technical member of the organisation.The reason for being accompanied is to ensure the organisation is fully aware of anyfindings during the audit.July 2012 Page 68

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M23.4 The auditing surveyor will inform the senior technical member of theorganisation at the end of the audit visit on all findings made during the audit.24. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (e))24.1 Findings will be recorded on an audit report form with a provisionalcategorization as a level 1 or 2. Subsequent to the audit visit that identified theparticular findings, the CAAN will review the provisional finding levels,adjusting them if necessary and change the categorisation from ‘provisional’ to‘confirmed’.24.2 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation within 2weeks of the audit visit.24.3 There may be occasions when the CAAN finds situations in the applicant’sorganisation on which it is unsure about compliance. In this case, theorganisation will be informed about possible non-compliance at the time andthe fact that the situation will be reviewed within the CAAN before a decisionis made. If the review concludes that there is no finding then a verbalconfirmation to the organisation will suffice.25. Initial approval (*) (AMC M.B.602 (f))25.1 The audit report will be made on a CAAN Form 6F (see appendix VI).25.2 A quality review of the CAAN Form 6F audit report will be carried out by acompetent independent person nominated by the CAAN. The review will takeinto account the relevant paragraphs of M.A. Subpart F, the categorization offinding levels and the closure action taken. Satisfactory review of the audit formwill be indicated by a signature on the CAAN Form 6F.26. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (g))The audit reports will include the date each finding was cleared together with referenceto the CAAN report or letter that confirmed the clearance.27. Issue of approval (NCAR M.B.603)27.1 The CAAN will issue to the applicant a CAAN Form 3 approval certificate(Appendix V) which includes the extent of approval, when the maintenanceorganisation is in compliance with the applicable paragraphs of this Part.27.2 The CAAN will indicate the conditions attached to the approval on the CAANForm 3 approval certificate.27.3 The reference number will be included on the CAAN Form 3.July 2012 Page 69

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M28. Issue of approval (AMC M.B.603 (a))1. CAA Nepal will issue the approval for maintenance organizations. CAA Nepal will carryout the initial and subsequent audits in this regard.The approval will be based upon the organisational capability relative to M.A. Subpart Fcompliance and not limited by reference to individual CAAN certificated products.For example, if the organisation is capable of maintaining within the limitation of M.A.Subpart F the Cessna 100 series aircraft the approval schedule will state A2 Cessna 100 seriesand not Cessna 172 RG which is a particular designator for one of many Cessna 100 series.29. Issue of approval (AMC M.B.603 (c))The numeric sequence of the approval reference will be unique to the particularapproved maintenance organisation.30. Continuing oversight (NCAR M.B.604)30.1 The CAAN will keep and update a program listing for each M.A Subpart Fapproved maintenance organisations under its supervision, the dates when auditvisits are due and when such visits were carried out.30.2 Each organisation will be completely audited at periods not exceeding 24months.30.3 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.30.4 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close afinding) and recommendations.30.5 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once every 24months to ensure he/she remains informed of significant issues arising duringaudits31. Continuing oversight (AMC M.B.604 (b))31.1 Where the CAAN has decided that a series of audit visits are necessary to arriveat a complete audit of an approved maintenance organisation, the program willindicate which aspects of the approval will be covered on each visit.31.2 It is recommended that part of an audit concentrates on the organisations internalself monitoring reports produced by the organisational review to determine if theorganisation is identifying and correcting its problems.31.3 At the successful conclusion of the audit(s) including verification of the manual,an audit report form will be completed by the auditing surveyor including allrecorded findings, closure actions and recommendation. A CAAN Form 6F willbe used for this activity.July 2012 Page 70

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M31.4 Credit may be claimed by the CAAN surveyor(s) for specific item auditscompleted during the preceding 23-month period subject to four conditions:(a) the specific item audit will be the same as that required by M.A. Subpart F latestamendment, and(b) there will be satisfactory evidence on record that such specific item audits werecarried out and that all corrective actions have been taken, and(c) the CAAN surveyor(s) will be satisfied that there is no reason to believe standardshave deteriorated in respect of those specific item audits being granted a back credit;(d) the specific item audit being granted a back credit will be audited not later than 24months after the last audit of the item.31.5 When performing the oversight of organisations that hold both M.A. Subpart Fand M.A. Subpart G approvals, the CAAN will arrange the audits to cover bothapprovals avoiding duplicated visit of a particular area.32. Findings (NCAR M.B.605)32.1 When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing noncomplianceto the Part-M requirement, the CAAN will take the followingactions:(a) For level 1 findings, immediate action will be taken by the CAAN to revoke,limit or suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1finding, the maintenance organisation approval, until successful correctiveaction has been taken by the organisation.(b) For level 2 findings, the CAAN will grant a corrective action periodappropriate to the nature of the finding that will not be more than threemonths. In certain circumstances, at the end of this first period and subject tothe nature of the finding, the CAAN can extend the three month periodsubject to a satisfactory corrective action plan.32.2 Action will be taken by the CAAN to suspend in whole or part the approval incase of failure to comply within the timescale granted by the CAAN.33. Findings (AMC M.B.605 (a)(1))For a level 1 finding it may be necessary for the CAAN to ensure that furthermaintenance and re-certification of all affected products is accomplished, dependentupon the nature of the finding.34. Changes M.B.60634.1 The CAAN will comply with the applicable elements of the initial approval forany change to the organisation notified in accordance with point M.A.617.July 2012 Page 71

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M34.2 The CAAN may prescribe the conditions under which the approved maintenanceorganisation may operate during such changes, unless it determines that theapproval will be suspended due to the nature or the extent of the changes.34.3 For any change to the maintenance organisation manual:(a) In the case of direct approval of changes in accordance with point M.A. 604(b),the CAAN will verify that the procedures specified in the manual are incompliance with this Annex (Part-M) before formally notifying the approvedorganisation of the approval.(b) In the case an indirect approval procedure is used for the approval of the changesin accordance with point M.A.604(c), the CAAN will ensure(i) that the changes remain minor and(ii) that it has an adequate control over the approval of the changes to ensure theyremain in compliance with the requirements of this Annex (Part-M).35. Changes (AMC M.B.606)35.1 Changes in nominated personsThe CAAN will have adequate control over any changes to personnel specifiedin M.A.606 (a) and (b). Such changes will require an amendment to the manual.35.2 It is recommended that a simple manual status sheet is maintained whichcontains information on when an amendment was received by the CAAN andwhen it was approved.35.3 The CAAN will define the minor amendments to the manual which may beincorporated through indirect approval. In this case a procedure will be stated inthe amendment section of the maintenance organisation manual.Changes notified in accordance with M.A.617 are not considered minor.For all cases other than minor, the applicable part(s) of the CAAN Form 6F willbe used for the change.35.4 The approved maintenance organisation will submit each manual amendment tothe CAAN whether it be an amendment for CAAN approval or an indirectlyapproved amendment. Where the amendment requires CAAN approval, theCAAN when satisfied, will indicate its approval in writing. Where theamendment has been submitted under the indirect approval procedure theCAAN will acknowledge receipt in writing.July 2012 Page 72

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M36. Revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval (NCAR M.B.607)The CAAN will:(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat,or;(b) suspend, revoke or limit an approval pursuant to NCAR M.B.605 (Para 32).37. Application (NCAR M.B.701)37.1 For commercial air transport the CAAN will receive for approval with the initialapplication for the air operator’s certificate and where applicable any variationapplied for and for each aircraft type to be operated:(a) the continuing airworthiness management exposition;(b) the operator’s aircraft maintenance programmes;(c) the aircraft technical log;(d) where appropriate the technical specification of the maintenance contractsbetween the operator and Part-145 approved maintenance organisation.37.2 The investigation and continuous oversight of the facility will be carried out byDirector General, CAA Nepal.38. Application (AMC M.B.701 (a))38.1 The CAAN will not expect the documents listed in NCAR M.B.701 (a) to besubmitted in a completed state with the initial application for grant or changesince each may require approval in its own right and may be subject toamendment as a result of CAAN assessment during the technical investigations.Draft documents will be submitted at the earliest opportunity so thatinvestigation of the application can begin. Grant or change cannot be achieveduntil the CAAN is in possession of completed documents.38.2 This information is required to enable the CAAN to conduct its investigation, toassess the volume of maintenance work necessary and the locations at which itwill be accomplished.38.3 The applicant will inform the CAAN where base and scheduled line maintenanceis to take place and give details of any contracted maintenance which is inaddition to that provided in response to M.A.201 (h) 2 or M.A.708 (c).38.4 At the time of application, the operator will have arrangements for all base andscheduled line maintenance in place for an appropriate period of time, asJuly 2012 Page 73

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/Maccepted to the CAAN. The operator will establish further arrangements in duecourse before the maintenance is due.Base maintenance contracts for high-life time checks may be based on one timecontracts, when the CAAN considers that this is compatible with the operator’sfleet size.39. Initial approval M.B.70239.1 Provided the requirements of NCAR M.A.706(a), (c), (d) and NCAR M.A.707are complied with, the CAAN will formally indicate its acceptance of theM.A.706(a), (c), (d) and M.A.707 personnel to the applicant in writing.39.2 The CAAN will establish that the procedures specified in the continuingairworthiness management exposition comply with Part-M.A. Subpart G andensure the accountable manager signs the commitment statement.39.3 The CAAN will verify the organisation’s compliance with M.A. Subpart Grequirements.39.4 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once duringthe investigation for approval to ensure that he/she fully understands thesignificance of the approval and the reason for signing the expositioncommitment of the organisation to compliance with the procedures specified inthe continuing airworthiness management exposition.39.5 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.39.6 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close afinding) and recommendations.39.7 For initial approval all findings will be corrected by the organisation and closedby the CAAN before the approval can be issued.40. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (a))40.1 ‘Formally indicate in writing’ means that a CAAN Form 4 will be used for thisactivity. With the exception of the accountable manager, a CAAN Form 4 willbe completed for each person nominated to hold a position required by NCARM.A.706 (c) (d) and NCAR M.A.707.40.2 In the case of the accountable manager, approval of the continuing airworthinessmanagement exposition containing the accountable manager’s signedcommitment statement constitutes formal acceptance, once the authority hasheld a meeting with the accountable manager and is satisfied with its results.41. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (b))41.1 The CAAN will indicate approval of the continuing airworthiness managementexposition in writing.July 2012 Page 74

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M41.2 Contracts for sub-contracting continuing airworthiness management tasks bycontinuing airworthiness management organisations will be included in thecontinuing airworthiness management exposition. The CAAN will verify thatthe standards set forth in AMC M.A. 201(h) 1 are being met when approvingthe exposition.41.3 The CAAN while investigating the acceptability of the proposed subcontractedcontinuing airworthiness management tasks arrangements will take into account,in the subcontracted organisation, all other such contracts that are in placeirrespective of state of registry in terms of sufficiency of resources, expertise,management structure, facilities and liaison between the contracting continuingairworthiness management organisation, the subcontracted organisation andwhere applicable contracted Part-145 maintenance organisation(s).42. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (c))42.1 The CAAN will determine by whom, and how the audit will be conducted. Forexample, it will be necessary to determine whether one large team audit or ashort series of small team audits or a long series of single man audits are mostappropriate for the particular situation.42.2 The audit may be carried out on a product line type basis. For example, in thecase of an organisation with Airbus A320 and Airbus A310 ratings, the audit isconcentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon theresult, the second type may only require a sample check that will at least coverthe activities identified as weak for the first type.42.3 When determining the scope of the audit and which activities of the organisationwill be assessed during the audit, the privileges of the approved organisationwill be taken into account, e.g. approval to carry out airworthiness reviews.42.4 The CAAN auditing surveyor will always ensure that he/she is accompaniedthroughout the audit by a senior technical member of the organisation.Normally this is the quality manager. The reason for being accompanied is toensure the organisation is fully aware of any findings during the audit.42.5 The auditing surveyor will inform the senior technical member of theorganisation at the end of the audit visit on all findings made during the audit.43. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (e))43.1 Findings will be recorded on an audit report form with a provisionalcategorization as a level 1 or 2. Subsequent to the audit visit that identified theparticular findings, the CAAN will review the provisional finding levels,adjusting them if necessary and change the categorisation from ‘provisional’ to‘confirmed’.July 2012 Page 75

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M43.2 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation within 2weeks of the audit visit.43.3 There may be occasions when the CAAN finds situations in the applicant’sorganisation on which it is unsure about compliance. In this case, theorganisation will be informed about possible non-compliance at the time andthe fact that the situation will be reviewed within the CAAN before a decisionis made. If the review concludes that there is no finding then a verbalconfirmation to the organisation will suffice.44. Initial approval (*) (AMC M.B.702 (f))44.1 The audit report form will be the CAAN Form 13 (Appendix VII).44.2 A quality review of the CAAN Form 13 audit report will be carried out by acompetent independent person nominated by the CAAN. The review will takeinto account the relevant paragraphs of M.A. Subpart G, the categorisation offinding levels and the closure action taken. Satisfactory review of the audit formwill be indicated by a signature on the CAAN Form 13.45. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (g))The audit reports will include the date each finding was cleared together with referenceto the CAAN report or letter that confirmed the clearance.46. Issue of approval (NCAR M.B.703)46.1 The CAAN will issue to the applicant a CAAN Form 14 approval certificate(Appendix VI) which includes the extent of approval, when the continuingairworthiness management organisation is in compliance with M.A. Subpart G.46.2 The CAAN will indicate the validity of the approval on the CAAN Form 14approval certificate.46.3 The reference number will be included on the CAAN Form 14 approvalcertificate.46.4 In the case of commercial air transport, the information contained on a CAANForm 14 will be included on the air operator’s certificate47. Issue of approval (AMC M.B.703)The table shown for the Approval Schedule in CAAN Form 14 includes a fielddesignated as “Aircraft type/series/group”.The intention is to give maximum flexibility to the CAAN to customise the approval to aparticular organisation.Possible alternatives to be included in this field are the following:July 2012 Page 76

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M- A specific type designation that is part of a type certificate, such as Airbus 340-211or Cessna 172R.- A type rating (or series) as listed in Part-66 Appendix I to AMC, which may befurther subdivided, such as Boeing 737-600/700/800, Boeing 737-600, Cessna 172Series.- An aircraft group such as Cessna single piston engined aircraft.Reference to the engine type installed in the aircraft may or may not be included, asnecessary.In all cases, the CAAN will be satisfied that the organisation has the capability tomanage the requested types/groups/series.48. Continuing oversight (NCAR M.B.704)48.1 The CAAN will keep and update a program listing for each M.A. Subpart Gapproved continuing airworthiness organisations under its supervision, the dateswhen audit visits are due and when such visits were carried out.48.2 Each organisation will be completely audited at periods not exceeding 24months.48.3 A relevant sample of the aircraft managed by the M.B. Subpart G approvedorganisation will be surveyed in every 24 month period. The size of the samplewill be decided by the CAAN based on the result of prior audits and earlierproduct surveys.48.4 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.48.5 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close afinding) and recommendations.48.6 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once every 24months to ensure he/she remains informed of significant issues arising duringaudits49. Continuing oversight (NCAR M.B.704)49.1 Where the CAAN has decided that a series of audit visits are necessary to arriveat a complete audit of an approved continuing airworthiness managementorganisation, the program will indicate which aspects of the approval will becovered on each visit.49.2 It is recommended that part of an audit concentrates on two ongoing aspects ofthe M.A. Subpart G approval, namely the organisations internal self monitoringquality reports produced by the quality monitoring personnel to determine if theorganisation is identifying and correcting its problems and secondly the numberof concessions granted by the quality manager.July 2012 Page 77

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M49.3 At the successful conclusion of the audit(s) including verification of theexposition, an audit report form will be completed by the auditing surveyorincluding all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendation. A CAANForm 13 will be used for this activity.49.4 Credit may be claimed by the CAAN Surveyor(s) for specific item auditscompleted during the preceding 23 month period subject to four conditions:(a) the specific item audit will be the same as that required by M.A. Subpart G latestamendment, and(b) there will be satisfactory evidence on record that such specific item audits werecarried out and that all corrective actions have been taken, and(c) the CAAN surveyor(s) will be satisfied that there is no reason to believe standardshave deteriorated in respect of those specific item audits being granted a back credit;(d) the specific item audit being granted a back credit will be audited not later than 24months after the last audit of the item.49.5 When an operator sub-contracts continuing airworthiness management tasks allsub-contracted organisations will also be audited by the CAAN of operator atperiods not exceeding 24 months (credits per paragraph 4 above are permitted)to ensure they fully comply with M.A. Subpart G. For these audits, the CAANauditing surveyor will always ensure that he/she is accompanied throughout theaudit by a senior technical member of the operator. All findings will be sent toand corrected by the operator.49.6 When performing the oversight of organisations that hold both M.A. Subpart Fand M.A. Subpart G approvals, the CAAN will arrange the audits to cover bothapprovals avoiding duplicated visit of a particular area.50. Findings (NCAR M.B.705)50.1 When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing noncomplianceto the Part-M requirement, the CAAN will take the followingactions:(a) For level 1 findings, immediate action will be taken by the CAAN to revoke, limitor suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding,the continuing airworthiness management organisation approval, until successfulcorrective action has been taken by the organisation.(b) For level 2 findings, the CAAN will grant a corrective action period appropriate tothe nature of the finding that will not be more than three months. In certaincircumstances, at the end of this first period, and subject to the nature of thefinding the CAAN can extend the three month period subject to a satisfactorycorrective action plan.July 2012 Page 78

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M50.2 Action will be taken by the CAAN to suspend in whole or part the approval incase of failure to comply within the timescale granted by the CAAN.51. Findings (AMC M.B.705 (a) (1))51.1 For a level 1 finding the CAAN will inform the owner/operator and the CAANof any potentially affected aircraft in order that corrective action can be taken toensure possible unsafe conditions on these aircraft are corrected before furtherflight.51.2 Furthermore, a level 1 finding could lead to a non compliance to be found on anaircraft as specified in NCAR M.B. 303 (g). In this case, proper action asspecified in NCAR M.B.303 would be taken.52. Changes (NCAR M.B.706)52.1 The CAAN will comply with the applicable elements of the initial approval forany change to the organisation notified in accordance with point NCARM.A.713.52.2 The CAAN may prescribe the conditions under which the approved continuingairworthiness management organisation may operate during such changes unlessit determines that the approval will be suspended due to the nature or the extentof the changes.52.3 For any change to the continuing airworthiness management exposition:(a) In the case of direct approval of changes in accordance with NCAR M.A.704(b),the CAAN will verify that the procedures specified in the exposition are incompliance with this Annex (Part-M) before formally notifying the approvedorganisation of the approval.(b) In the case an indirect approval procedure is used for the approval of the changesin accordance with point NCAR M.A.704(c), the CAAN will ensure(i) that the changes remain minor and(ii) that it has an adequate control over the approval of the changes to ensurethey remain in compliance with the requirements of this Annex (Part-M);53. Changes (AMC M.B.706)53.1 Changes in nominated personsThe CAAN will have adequate control over any changes to the personnelspecified in NCAR M.A.706 (a), (c), (d) and (i). Such changes will require anamendment to the exposition.July 2012 Page 79

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M53.2 It is recommended that a simple exposition status sheet is maintained whichcontains information on when an amendment was received by the CAAN andwhen it was approved.53.3 The CAAN will define the minor amendments to the exposition which may beincorporated through indirect approval. In this case a procedure will be stated inthe amendment section of the approved continuing airworthiness managementexposition.Changes notified in accordance with NCAR M.A.713 are not considered minor.For all cases other than minor, the applicable part(s) of the CAAN Form 13 willbe used for the change.53.4 The approved continuing airworthiness management organisation will submiteach exposition amendment to the CAAN whether it be an amendment forCAAN approval or an indirectly approved amendment. Where the amendmentrequires CAAN approval, the CAAN when satisfied, will indicate its approval inwriting. Where the amendment has been submitted under the indirect approvalprocedure the CAAN will acknowledge receipt in writing.54. Revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval (NCAR M.B.707)The CAAN will:(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat,or;(b) suspend, revoke or limit an approval pursuant to NCAR M.B.705.55.

Assessment of recommendations (AMC M.B.901)56.1 The result of the verification and the investigation of a recommendation will besent to the applicant within 30 days. If corrective action has been requestedbefore the issuance of an airworthiness review certificate, the CAAN maydecide a further period for the assessment of the requested corrective action.July 2012 Page 80

AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORSHANDBOOK-FOR NCAR 145/66/147/M56.2 The verification of the compliance statement required by NCAR M.B.901 doesnot mean repeating the airworthiness review itself. However the CAAN willverify that the M.A. Subpart G organisation has carried out a complete andaccurate assessment of the airworthiness of the aircraft.56.3 Depending on the content of the recommendation, the history of the particularaircraft, and the knowledge of the M.A.Subpart G organisation or NCARM.A.901 (g) certifying staff making the recommendation in terms of experience,number and correction of findings and previous recommendations the extent ofthe investigation will vary. Therefore, whenever possible the person carrying outthe investigation will be involved in the oversight of the M.A.Subpart Gorganisation making the recommendation.56.4 In some cases, the inspector may decide that it is necessary to organise:- a physical survey of the aircraft, or;- a full or partial airworthiness review.In this case, the inspector will inform the M.A.Subpart G organisation orM.A.901(g) certifying staff making the recommendation with sufficient noticeso that it may organise itself according to M.A.901 (j).Furthermore, this part of the investigation will be carried out by appropriateairworthiness review staff in accordance with M.B. 902 (b).5. Only when satisfied the aircraft is airworthy, should the inspector issue an airworthinessreview certificate.57. Airworthiness review by CAAN (NCAR M.B.902)57.1 When the CAAN carries out the airworthiness review and issues theairworthiness review certificate CAAN Form 15a (Appendix III), the CAANwill carry out an airworthiness review in accordance with point NCARM.A.710.57.2 The CAAN will have appropriate airworthiness review staff to carry out theairworthiness reviews.(a) For all aircraft used in commercial air transport, and aircraft above 2730 kgMTOM, except balloons, these staff will have acquired:(i) at least five years experience in continuing airworthiness, and;(ii) an appropriate licence in compliance with Annex III (Part-66) or a nationallyrecognized maintenance personnel qualification appropriate to the aircraftcategory (when Annex III (Part-66) refers to national rules) or an aeronauticaldegree or equivalent, and;(iii) formal aeronautical maintenance training, and;July 2012 Page 81
