Breakout Session 2: International Certification ofMaintenance Organizations

Helio Tarquinio Junior

ARSA Symposium March 2017

ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices

Mutual recognition of AMO certification and surveillance findings

ANAC Point of View

Aeronautical Maintenance Organizations (AMOs)that provide services to international operators oftenmust meet numerous requirements and maintainnumerous endorsements from different State ofRegistry. This imposes an additional burden on AMOsand Civil Aviation Authorities (CCAs), which could beavoided if countries recognize the approvals offoreign AMOs.

ICAO Actions

In 2010, during the High Level Safety Conference (HLSC), ICAOproposed to create a working group to address this issue.

In 2012, a working group was created at the ICAO AirworthinessPanel (AIRP) to develop provisions, support material andguidance for the harmonization and global recognition of AMOsapprovals;

The working group is currently working on the move of therequirements for AMOs from Annex 6 to Annex 8 and thematching of related documents.

ICAO Working Papers “Approval and Global Recognition ofAircraft Maintenance Organizations (AMOs)” Phase 1, Doc 9760and Phase 2, Annexes.

ANAC Actions

Brazil participates in the AIRP working group. Brazil has agreements for the acceptance of AMOs with TCCA

since 2005. Brazil has agreements for the acceptance of AMOs with EASA

since 2016. Brazil is currently working on the development of the agreement

with the FAA. Brazil participates in SRVSOP meetings for its inclusion in the

multilateral agreement on acceptance of the AMOs in LatinAmerica.

Brazilian Requirements have already adjusted to reflect thetransfer of the requirements for AMOs from Annex 6 to Annex 8.
