Define Authority Approvals Per Maintenance
Organization
Explanation
This activity is used to define the approvals that are
valid for a given maintenance organization. Using the Status feature available
for approvals, you can update and keep track of the status the approvals
received by the maintenance organization. Valid statuses are: New,
Approval Pending, Approved, Rejected and Obsolete.
Each maintenance organization can receive a number of
approvals for different purposes. For example:
EASA Part 21G |
No.SE.21G.007 |
EASA-Sverige (production of
Aircraft components) |
EASA Part 145 |
No.SE.145.0017 |
EASA-Sverige (aircraft and
component maintenance) |
EASA Part 21J |
No.SE.21J.108 |
EASA (design of civil
airworthiness products) |
The new approvals you enter will be set to the New
status upon save. You can then move the approval to the Approval Pending
status if the maintenance organization is awaiting certification of the
approval. Once certification is granted the approval can be moved to the
Approved status or if it is rejected to the Rejected status. If you
are registering the approvals that the maintenance organization currently has,
you can move the approval directly to the Approved status from New.
When an approval is no longer valid it should be set to the Obsolete
status. From the Obsolete status it is possible to move the approval to
either the Approval Pending or Approved status since it is
possible to reapply for the approval.
Once the approvals for a maintenance organization have
been registered, you can enter the capability list that was received along with
the approval. For more information, refer the activity Define Capability List.
