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.
