EASA Part-CAO (Combined Airworthiness Organization) – 2 Days

Introduction

A Combined Airworthiness Organisation (Part CAO) provides a new simplified organisation approval for General Aviation (GA) which provides an alleviation against many of the requirements (For example – No Safety Management System (SMS))

The Part-CAO was not created only to replace the Subpart F Maintenance Organisation, but rather to offer a completely new type of organisation, which is specifically adapted to the needs of GA.

In addition, there is typically a reduced involvement of the Competent Authority

A Combined Organisation is allowed to obtain the following privileges

a) Maintenance
