Introduction
The purpose of the maintenance organization exposition (MOE) is to identify the procedures, means, and methods of the approved OTAR 145 organization. An up-to-date and effective MOE is crucial to maintaining valid organizational approval.
There are two options available to deliver a compliant Overseas Territories Compliant Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE)
a) An applicant for approval under Option 1 shall provide the Governor with a copy of the MOE or equivalent document. A document in the English language shall be submitted demonstrating compliance with paragraph 145.7(a)(3).
b) An applicant for approval under Option 2 shall provide to the Governor a copy of the MOE and all other submitted documents in the English language. The MOE shall demonstrate compliance with paragraph 145.7(b).
Notes regarding 145.7 Issue of approval
(a) Option 1: an organization holding an approval identified in paragraph 145.5(a) may be approved provided that: (1) the accepted foreign NAA approval remains valid, and (2) the organization’s application for a rating and scope of approval is based on that of the approval granted by the applicable foreign NAA; and (3) the organization is in compliance with (i) Subparts A, B and C of this OTAR Part; and (ii) the applicable requirements of Subpart D of this OTAR Part as identified in the approved OTAA Supplement; and (iii) OTAR Part 43.

(c) An approval granted by the Governor shall identify the scope of approval, validity, and approved locations.
Compliance with the contents of the MOE assures compliance with the requirements of 145, which is a prerequisite to obtaining and retaining a maintenance organization approval certificate.
It is understood that the (competent authority*) will approve this organization whilst the (competent authority*) is satisfied that the procedures are being followed and work standards maintained.
It is further understood that the (competent authority*) reserves the right to suspend, limit or revoke the approval of the organization if the (competent authority*) has evidence that procedures are not followed, or standards are not upheld.
The MOE typically covers four main parts:
The management MOE covers the parts specified earlier.
