Compliance artefact

DOA handbook, POA exposition, MOE and CAME

The expositions an approved organisation keeps current for its authority, with the compliance matrix that shows where each requirement is met, produced by our experts with Wingman360 Teammate.

Which rule asks for it

Each organisation approval has its exposition: the design organisation handbook under 21.A.243, the production organisation exposition under 21.A.143, the maintenance organisation exposition under 145.A.70 and the continuing airworthiness management exposition under CAMO.A.300.

(a) As part of the design management system, the design organisation shall create and furnish to the Agency a handbook that describes, directly or by cross reference, the organisation, its relevant policies, processes and procedures, the type of design work, and the categories of products, parts and appliances for which the design organisation holds a design organisation approval, as identified in the terms of approval issued in accordance with point 21.A.251 and, where relevant, the interfaces with and the control of its partners or subcontractors. If flight tests are to be conducted, a flight test operations manual that defines the organisation’s policies and procedures in relation to flight tests shall also be created and furnished to the Agency. The flight test operations manual shall include: 1. a description of the organisation’s processes for flight tests, including its involvement in the process for issuing a permit to fly; 2. crewing policy, including composition, competency, currency and flight time limitations, in accordance with Appendix XII, where applicable; 3. procedures for the carriage of persons other than the crew members and for flight test training, where applicable; 4. a policy for the risk and safety management and associated methodologies; 5. procedures to identify the instruments and equipment to be carried on board; 6. a list of documents that need to be produced for the flight test.

The continuing airworthiness side

For maintenance and continuing airworthiness management organisations the exposition sits in Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014.

(a) The organisation shall provide the competent authority with a CAME and, where applicable, any referenced associated manuals and procedures, containing all of the following information: (1) a statement signed by the accountable manager confirming that the organisation will at all times work in accordance with this Annex, Annex I (Part-M) and Annex Vb (Part-ML), as applicable, and with the approved CAME.

Questions

Do you write a new exposition or amend ours?
Both. A new organisation gets a complete exposition built to the AMC content list; an approved organisation gets amendments with a change record and an updated compliance matrix.
Which documents do you need?
Your procedures, organisation chart, scope of approval and any authority correspondence on findings. Templates if you have them; otherwise we use the AMC structure.
Is the compliance matrix mandatory?
The rule asks for the exposition; the matrix is the accepted way to show the authority where each requirement is met and most authorities expect it with the application.
Can this be done for a military organisation?
Yes. EMAR 21 and EMAR 145 mirror the civil structure; the exposition follows the national military airworthiness authority's conventions.
