AMC 20-20 Continuing Structural Integrity Programme – 1 Day

Introduction

This course is specifically designed to add competence to persons working in an EASA Part CAMO environment.

EASA issued AMC 20-20 to provide guidance to type-certificate holders, STC holders, repair approval holders, maintenance organisations, operators and competent authorities related to

– Developing a continuing structural integrity programme to ensure the safe operation of ageing aircraft throughout their operational life

– Including provision to preclude Widespread Fatigue Damage.

The course is focused on large aeroplanes, typically operated by Air Carriers (Commercial Air Transport).

Note: EASA advises the following – While these guidelines are not mandatory, they are derived from extensive industry experience in determining compliance with the relevant requirements.

Like all acceptable means of compliance material, this AMC is not in itself mandatory and does not constitute a requirement. It describes an acceptable means, but not the only means, for showing compliance with the requirements.
