notifying the approved organization of the approval.
7.2 A simple exposition status sheet will be maintained which contains information on
when an amendment was received by Airworthiness office and when it was
approved.
7.3 The organization will submit each exposition amendment to the airworthiness
office for approval. On being satisfied that the amendment meets the requirement
of NCAR 145, an approval to the same will be grated in writing.
8. Suspension or Limiting of approval
In the event of organization that are not complying with the requirements of NCAR,
Airworthiness office may issue admonition, warning, revocation, suspension and
limitation of approval (NCAR 145.B.45) as may be deemed fit. The procedure as laid
down in Rule 28 of Civil Aviation Regulation 2002 and instructions issued by Director
General, CAA Nepal from time to time will be followed in order to:
(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat; or
(b) admonish, warn, suspend, revoke or limit the approval granted to a person or
organization iaw CAR 2002 Rule 29.
9. Findings (NCAR 145.B.50)
When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing non-compliance with
the requirements of NCAR- 145, the following actions will be taken:
9.1 For level 1 findings, immediate action will be taken to revoke, limit or suspend in
whole or in part of approval, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding, the
maintenance organization approval, until successful corrective action has been taken
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 16
by the organization. In practical terms, a level 1 finding is noted where a significant
non-compliance with NCAR 145 is found. The following are examples of level 1
finding:
Failure to gain access to the organisation during normal operating hours of the
organisation in accordance with NCAR 145.A.90 (2) after two written requests.
If the calibration control of equipment as specified in NCAR 145.A.40 (b) had
previously broken down on a particular type product line such that most
“calibrated” equipment was suspect from that time then that would be a level 1
finding.
Note: A complete product line is defined as all the aircraft, engine or component
of a particular type.
9.2 For a level 1 finding it may be necessary for officers of Airworthiness Inspection
Division to ensure that further maintenance and re-certification of all affected products
is accomplished, dependent upon the nature of the finding.
9.3 For level 2 findings, the corrective action period granted must be appropriate to the
nature of the finding, but in any case initially must not be more than three months. In
certain circumstances and subject to the nature of the finding, the three month period
may be extended subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan agreed. In practical
terms where an officer of Airworthiness office finds a non-compliance with NCAR -
145 against one product, it is deemed to be a level 2 finding. The following are
example level 2 findings:
One time use of a component without any serviceable tag.
The training documents of the certifying staff are not completed.
9.4 Action will be taken to suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure to
comply within the timescale granted. Where the organisation has not implemented the
necessary corrective action within that period, it may be appropriate to grant a further
period of up to three months, subject to notifying the accountable manager. In
exceptional circumstances and subject to a realistic action plan being in place, the
Director General, CAA Nepal may specifically vary the maximum 6 month corrective
action period. However, in granting such a change the past performance of the
organization will be considered.
9.5 It may be necessary to ensure that further maintenance and re-certification of all
affected products is accomplished, dependent upon the nature of the finding.
10. Record-keeping (NCAR 145.B.55)
Records of approval of an organisation will be retained for an adequate period that
allows adequate traceability of the process to issue, continue, change, suspend or revoke
each individual organization approval.
10.1 The records will include as a minimum:
10.1.1 the application for an organisation approval, including the continuation
thereof.

10.3 The minimum retention period for the above records will be four years unless it is
required to be retained permanently.
10.4 Either a paper or computer system or any combination of both may be used subject to
appropriate controls.
10.5 The record-keeping system will ensure that all records are accessible whenever
needed within a reasonable time. These records will be organized in a consistent way
throughout (chronological, alphabetical order, etc.). Copies of policy letters will also
be retained in separate folders for future reference.
10.6 All records containing sensitive data regarding applicants or organizations will be
stored in a secure manner with controlled access to ensure confidentiality of this kind
of data.
10.7 All computer hardware used to ensure data backup will be stored in a different
location from that containing the working data in an environment that ensures they
remain in good condition. When hardware or software changes take place special
Care will be taken to ensure that all necessary data continues to be accessible at least
through the full period as specified above.
11. Exemption and concession control (NCAR 145.B.60)
At times the organization may seek exemption from the manufacturer established
maintenance task or concession for deviating from the CAAN approved procedures. This
paragraph provides authority the procedures for such exemptions and concession.
11.1 Exemptions procedures
Maintenance task exemptions are permitted provided the organization submits
justification including technical substantiation from the aircraft manufacturer for
such exemption. If the Director General, CAA Nepal is convinced that the
exemption is no way affecting the safety of the aircraft or hazardous to the flight,
Airworthiness Inspection Division can issue exemption. All exemptions granted
as per this section will be recorded and retained by the Airworthiness Offices.

11.2 Concession procedures
Any concessions sought on organization approved procedures may be granted
provided the organization submits justifications stating that the concession will
not hamper the safety of the aircraft. If the Director General, CAA Nepal is
convinced that the concession is no way affecting the safety of the aircraft or
hazardous to the flight, Airworthiness Inspection Division can grant concession.
All such concession granted as per this procedure will be recorded and retained
by the Airworthiness Offices.

1. CAAN – General (AMC M.B.102 (a))
1.1 In deciding upon the required airworthiness organisational structure, the CAAN will
review the number of certificates to be issued, the number and size of potential
operators, the number of M.A. Subpart F approved maintenance organisations and M.A.
Subpart G continuing airworthiness management organisations within Nepal.
1.2 The CAAN will retain effective control of important inspection functions and not
delegate them in such a way that aircraft owners, operators, M.A. Subpart F approved
maintenance organisations and M.A. Subpart G continuing airworthiness management
organisations, in effect, regulate themselves in airworthiness matters.
1.3 The set-up of the organisational structure will ensure that the various tasks and
obligations of the CAAN are not relying on individuals. That means that a continuing
and undisturbed fulfillment of these tasks and obligations of the CAAN will also be
guaranteed in case of illness, accident or leave of individual employees.
2. CAAN – Qualification and training (AMC M.B.102 (c))
2.1 CAAN inspectors will have:
2.1.1 practical experience and expertise in the application of aviation safety standards and
safe operating practices;
2.1.2 comprehensive knowledge of:
(a) relevant parts of implementing rules, certification specifications and guidance
material;
(b) the CAAN’s procedures;
(c) the rights and obligations of an inspector;
(d) quality systems;
(e) continuing airworthiness management.
2.1.3 training on auditing techniques.
2.1.4 five years relevant work experience to be allowed to work as an inspector
independently.
This may include experience gained during training to obtain the Para 2.1.5
qualification.
2.1.5 a relevant engineering degree or an aircraft maintenance technician qualification
with additional education. 'Relevant engineering degree’ means an engineering
degree from aeronautical, mechanical, electrical, electronic, avionic or other
studies relevant to the maintenance and continuing airworthiness of aircraft/
aircraft components.

2.1.6 knowledge of a relevant sample of the type(s) of aircraft gained through a
formalized training course including Fuel Tank Safety (FTS) training as described
in Appendix XII to AMC to M.A.706 (f) and Para 2. These courses will be at least
at a level equivalent to Part-66 Appendix III Level 1 General Familiarisation.
“Relevant sample” means that these courses will cover typical systems embodied in
those aircraft being within the scope of approval.
2.1.7 knowledge of maintenance standards.
2.2 In addition to technical competency, inspectors will have a high degree of integrity, be
impartial in carrying out their tasks, be tactful, and have a good understanding of human
nature.
2.3 A programme for continuation training will be developed which provides for the
inspectors, at regular intervals, to visit appropriate manufacturers and attend technical
symposia as well as training or refresher courses to gain first-hand knowledge of new
developments. As a general policy, it is not desirable for the inspectors to obtain
technical qualifications from those entities under their direct regulatory jurisdiction.
3. CAAN organisation – Procedures (AMC M.B.102 (d))
The documented procedures will contain the following information:
(a) The CAAN’s designation.
(b) The title(s) and name(s) of the manager(s) of the CAAN and their duties and

has been permanently withdrawn from service.
6. Record-keeping (AMC M.B.104 (a))
6.1 The record-keeping system will ensure that all records are accessible whenever
needed within a reasonable time. These records will be organized in a consistent
way throughout the CAAN (chronological, alphabetical order, etc.).
6.2 All records containing sensitive data regarding applicants or organisations will be
stored in a secure manner with controlled access to ensure confidentiality of this
kind of data.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 63
6.3 All computer hardware used to ensure data backup will be stored in a different
location from that containing the working data in an environment that ensures they
remain in good condition. When hardware- or software-changes take place special
care will be taken that all necessary data continues to be accessible at least through
the full period specified in Para 5.3 and/or Para 5.5
7. Record-keeping (AMC M.B.104 (f))
The cases, when records will be made available will be limited to:
- incidents or accidents,
- findings through the aircraft continuing monitoring program where organisations
approved by another CAAN are involved, to determine the root cause,
8. Responsibilities (NCAR M.B.201)
The CAAN as specified in AMC M.1 are responsible for conducting inspections and
investigations in order to verify that the requirements of this Part are complied with.
9. Maintenance programme (NCAR M.B.301)
9.1 The CAAN will verify that the maintenance programme is in compliance with
M.A.302.
9.2 Except where stated otherwise in point M.A.302(c) the maintenance programme and
its amendments will be approved directly by the CAAN.
9.3 In the case of indirect approval, the maintenance programme procedure will be
approved by the CAAN through the continuing airworthiness management
exposition.
9.4 In order to approve a maintenance programme according to Para 9.2, the CAAN will
have access to all the data required in points NCAR M.A. 302(d), (e) and (f).
Para 9.1, Maintenance programme, For the CAAN to verify compliance with NCAR
M.A.302, the auditing surveyor/inspector will have received training on maintenance
programme development and control.
10. Maintenance Programme (AMC M.B.301 (b))
10.1 When assessing aircraft maintenance programmes for approval, the CAAN will
verify that the maintenance programme is acceptable for the continued
airworthiness of the specific aircraft listed and it is appropriate for the proposed
operating environment and scheduled utilisation.
10.2 The CAAN will assess the contents taking into account the origins of the document
i.e. the manufacturers recommended maintenance programme, a MRB report, the
operators own experience or another approved programme.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 64
10.3 A CAAN may elect to publish a proposed maintenance schedule for a piston
engined aircraft type or a group of piston engined aircraft types below 2730 Kgs
maximum take off mass (MTOM) or for a sailplane, powered sailplane or balloon
type or for a group of sailplanes, powered sailplanes or balloon types. When
owners/operators of the aircraft mentioned above elect to use a CAAN proposed
maintenance schedule, all the out of phase manufacturer recommendations will be
incorporated into the final maintenance programme in order for it to be approved.
10.4 A copy of the approved programme will be retained by the CAAN, unless the
programme is approved by a M.A. Subpart G approved organisation.
10.5 The documentation issued by the CAAN to approve the operator’s maintenance
programme may include details of who may issue certificates of release to service
in a particular situation and may define which tasks are considered as complex
maintenance tasks or limited pilot owner maintenance according to Appendix VIII
to NCAR Part M.
10.6 In the case of commercial air transport or large aircraft, development of the
approved operator’s maintenance programme is dependent upon sufficient
satisfactory in-service experience which has been properly processed. In general,
the task being considered for escalation beyond the MRB limits will have been
satisfactorily repeated at the existing frequency several times before being
proposed for escalation. Appendix I to AMC M.A.302 and Para 10 gives further
information.
10.7 The CAAN may approve an incomplete maintenance programme at the start of
operation of an aircraft or an operator, subject to limiting the approval of the
maintenance programme to a period that does not exceed any required
maintenance not yet approved.
10.8 If the CAAN is no longer satisfied that a safe operation can be maintained, the
approval of a maintenance programme or part of it may be suspended or revoked.
Events giving rise to such action include:
(a) An operator changing the utilisation of an aircraft;
(b) The owner or M.A. Subpart G approved organisation has failed to ensure that the
programme reflects the maintenance needs of the aircraft such that safe operation
can be assured.
11. Maintenance Programme (AMC M.B.301 (c))
11.1 Approval of an aircraft maintenance programme through a procedure established
by a M.A. Subpart G organisation will require the organisation to demonstrate to
the CAAN that it has competence, procedures and record keeping provisions,
which will enable the organisation to analyse aircraft reliability, TC holder’s
instructions, and other related operating and maintenance criteria.
11.2 According to the complexity of the aircraft and the nature of the operation, the
maintenance programme procedures will contain reliability centred maintenance
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM

and condition monitored maintenance programme procedures and have procedures
relating to the programme control which contain the following provisions:
(a) task escalation or adjustment,
(b) maintenance programme review,
(c) SB or Service Information assessment,
(d) component and structures in service performance review,
(e) maintenance programme revision,
(f) maintenance procedure effectiveness review and amendment,
(g) maintenance review board report (MRBR) or manufacturer maintenance planning
document (MPD) review and assessment, as appropriate,
(h) AD review and assessment,
(i) owner/maintenance/M.A. Subpart G organisation liaison,
(j) training.
11.3 When the CAAN requests, the organisation will make provision for the attendance
a CAAN representative at meetings held to consider maintenance implications
arising from reviews of the above provisions.
12. Maintenance programme (AMC M.B.301 (d))
Programmes and all associated airworthiness data, including that data used for
substantiating the escalation of programmes will be made available to the CAAN upon
request.
13. Exemptions (NCAR M.B.302)
All exemptions granted in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation will be
recorded and retained by the CAAN.
14. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (NCAR M.B.303)
14.1 The CAAN will develop a survey programme to monitor the airworthiness status
of the fleet of aircraft on its register.
14.2 The survey programme will include sample product surveys of aircraft.
14.3 The programme will be developed taking into account the number of aircraft on
the register, local knowledge and past surveillance activities.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 66
14.4 The product survey will focus on a number of key risk airworthiness elements and
identify any findings. Furthermore, the CAAN will analyse each finding to
determine its root cause.
14.5 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the person or organisation accountable
according to NCAR M.A.201.
14.6 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions and recommendations.
14.7 If during aircraft surveys evidence is found showing non-compliance to a NCAR-
M requirement, the CAAN will take actions in accordance with Para 63.
14.8 If the root cause of the finding identifies non-compliance with any Subpart or with
another Part, the non-compliance will be dealt with as prescribed by the relevant
Part.
14.9 In order to facilitate appropriate enforcement action, CAAN will exchange
information on non-compliances identified in accordance with Para 14.8.
15. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (AMC M.B.303)
The CAAN may create an adapted airworthiness survey programme for the aircraft for
which it performs the airworthiness review.
16. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (*) (AMC M.B.303 (b))
16.1 Sample product surveys of aircraft include:
(a) in depth surveys carried out during extensive maintenance that fully encompass
selected aspects of an aircraft’s airworthiness.
(b) ramp surveys carried out during aircraft operations to monitor the apparent
condition of an aircraft’s airworthiness.
(c) in-flight surveys, as deemed necessary by the CAAN.
16.2 The CAAN will undertake regular sample product surveys of aircraft on its
register to verify that:
(a) the condition of an aircraft as sampled is to a standard acceptable for the
Certificate of Airworthiness to remain in force,
(b) the operator/Owner’s management of the airworthiness of their aircraft is
effective,
(c) satisfactory levels of continued airworthiness are being achieved,
(d) the approval and licenses granted to organisations and persons continue to be
applied in a consistent manner to achieve the required standards.

July 2012 Page 67
17. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (AMC M.B.303 (c))
CAAN will create an annual programme of surveys, selecting aircraft and/or operators
depending on local knowledge of the maintenance environment, operating conditions,
airworthiness standards and past surveillance experience. The programme will be used to
identify the operator/fleet/aircraft, which are causing the greatest concern.
18. Aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring (AMC M.B.303 (d))
18.1 Appendix III to this AMC is an example format for an annual in depth survey
programme. A sample of the 14 key risk airworthiness elements identified on
the example will be assessed during each survey and the survey will include the
aircraft as the product sample. The survey will be a ‘deep cut’ through the
elements or systems selected and all findings will be recorded.
Surveyors/inspectors in conjunction with the owners, operators and maintenance
organisations will identify the root cause of each confirmed finding.
18.2 In addition, an annual ramp survey programme will be developed based on
geographical locations, taking into account airfield activity, and focusing on key
issues that can be surveyed in the time available without unnecessarily delaying
the aircraft.
18.3 Surveyors/inspectors will be satisfied that the root cause found and the corrective
actions taken are adequate to correct the deficiency and to prevent re-
occurrence.
18.4 Where the aircraft continuing airworthiness monitoring survey visit can be linked
to the oversight of an approved organisation then credit can be taken in the
monitoring process of that approved organisation.
19. Revocation, suspension and limitation (NCAR M.B.304)
The CAAN will:
(a) suspend an airworthiness review certificate on reasonable grounds in the case of
potential safety threat, or;
(b) suspend, revoke or limit an airworthiness review certificate pursuant to NCAR
M.B.303(g) (14.7)
20. Initial Approval (NCAR M.B.602)
20.1 Provided the requirements of NCAR M.A. 606 (a) and (b) are complied with,
the CAAN will formally indicate its acceptance of the NCAR M.A. 606 (a) and
(b) personnel to the applicant in writing.
20.2 The CAAN will establish that the procedures specified in the maintenance
organisation manual comply with M.A Subpart F and ensure the accountable
manager signs the commitment statement.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 68
20.3 The CAAN will verify that the organisation is in compliance with the Part-M.A
Subpart F requirements.
20.4 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once during
the investigation for approval to ensure that he/she fully understands the
significance of the approval and the reason for signing the commitment of the
organisation to compliance with the procedures specified in the manual.
20.5 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.
20.6 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close a
finding) and recommendations.
20.7 For initial approval all findings will be corrected by the organisation and closed
by the CAAN before the approval can be issued.
21. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (a))
21.1 ‘Formally indicate in writing’ means that a CAAN Form 4 (Appendix X) will
be used for this activity. With the exception of the accountable manager, a
CAAN Form 4 will be completed for each person nominated to hold a position
required by NCAR M.A.606 (b).
21.2 In the case of the accountable manager approval of the maintenance organisation
manual containing the accountable manager’s signed commitment statement
constitutes formal acceptance.
22. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (b))
The CAAN will indicate approval of the maintenance organisation manual in writing.
23. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (c))
23.1 The CAAN will determine by whom, and how the audit will be conducted. For
example, it will be necessary to determine whether one large team audit or a
short series of small team audits or a long series of single man audits are most
appropriate for the particular situation.
23.2 The audit may be carried out on a product line type basis. For example, in the
case of an organisation with Socata TB20 and Piper PA 28 ratings, the audit is
concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon the
result, the second type may only require a sample check that will at least cover
the activities identified as weak for the first type.
23.3 The CAAN auditing surveyor will always ensure that he/she is accompanied
throughout the audit by a senior technical member of the organisation.
The reason for being accompanied is to ensure the organisation is fully aware of any
findings during the audit.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 69
23.4 The auditing surveyor will inform the senior technical member of the
organisation at the end of the audit visit on all findings made during the audit.
24. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (e))
24.1 Findings will be recorded on an audit report form with a provisional
categorization as a level 1 or 2. Subsequent to the audit visit that identified the
particular findings, the CAAN will review the provisional finding levels,
adjusting them if necessary and change the categorisation from ‘provisional’ to
‘confirmed’.
24.2 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation within 2
weeks of the audit visit.
24.3 There may be occasions when the CAAN finds situations in the applicant’s
organisation on which it is unsure about compliance. In this case, the
organisation will be informed about possible non-compliance at the time and
the fact that the situation will be reviewed within the CAAN before a decision
is made. If the review concludes that there is no finding then a verbal
confirmation to the organisation will suffice.
25. Initial approval (*) (AMC M.B.602 (f))
25.1 The audit report will be made on a CAAN Form 6F (see appendix VI).
25.2 A quality review of the CAAN Form 6F audit report will be carried out by a
competent independent person nominated by the CAAN. The review will take
into account the relevant paragraphs of M.A. Subpart F, the categorization of
finding levels and the closure action taken. Satisfactory review of the audit form
will be indicated by a signature on the CAAN Form 6F.
26. Initial approval (AMC M.B.602 (g))
The audit reports will include the date each finding was cleared together with reference
to the CAAN report or letter that confirmed the clearance.
27. Issue of approval (NCAR M.B.603)
27.1 The CAAN will issue to the applicant a CAAN Form 3 approval certificate
(Appendix V) which includes the extent of approval, when the maintenance
organisation is in compliance with the applicable paragraphs of this Part.
27.2 The CAAN will indicate the conditions attached to the approval on the CAAN
Form 3 approval certificate.
27.3 The reference number will be included on the CAAN Form 3.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS

July 2012 Page 70
28. Issue of approval (AMC M.B.603 (a))
1. CAA Nepal will issue the approval for maintenance organizations. CAA Nepal will carry
out the initial and subsequent audits in this regard.
The approval will be based upon the organisational capability relative to M.A. Subpart F
compliance and not limited by reference to individual CAAN certificated products.
For example, if the organisation is capable of maintaining within the limitation of M.A.
Subpart F the Cessna 100 series aircraft the approval schedule will state A2 Cessna 100 series
and not Cessna 172 RG which is a particular designator for one of many Cessna 100 series.
29. Issue of approval (AMC M.B.603 (c))
The numeric sequence of the approval reference will be unique to the particular
approved maintenance organisation.
30. Continuing oversight (NCAR M.B.604)
30.1 The CAAN will keep and update a program listing for each M.A Subpart F
approved maintenance organisations under its supervision, the dates when audit
visits are due and when such visits were carried out.
30.2 Each organisation will be completely audited at periods not exceeding 24
months.
30.3 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.
30.4 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close a
finding) and recommendations.
30.5 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once every 24
months to ensure he/she remains informed of significant issues arising during
audits
31. Continuing oversight (AMC M.B.604 (b))
31.1 Where the CAAN has decided that a series of audit visits are necessary to arrive
at a complete audit of an approved maintenance organisation, the program will
indicate which aspects of the approval will be covered on each visit.
31.2 It is recommended that part of an audit concentrates on the organisations internal
self monitoring reports produced by the organisational review to determine if the
organisation is identifying and correcting its problems.
31.3 At the successful conclusion of the audit(s) including verification of the manual,
an audit report form will be completed by the auditing surveyor including all
recorded findings, closure actions and recommendation. A CAAN Form 6F will
be used for this activity.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 71
31.4 Credit may be claimed by the CAAN surveyor(s) for specific item audits
completed during the preceding 23-month period subject to four conditions:
(a) the specific item audit will be the same as that required by M.A. Subpart F latest
amendment, and
(b) there will be satisfactory evidence on record that such specific item audits were
carried out and that all corrective actions have been taken, and
(c) the CAAN surveyor(s) will be satisfied that there is no reason to believe standards
have deteriorated in respect of those specific item audits being granted a back credit;
(d) the specific item audit being granted a back credit will be audited not later than 24
months after the last audit of the item.
31.5 When performing the oversight of organisations that hold both M.A. Subpart F
and M.A. Subpart G approvals, the CAAN will arrange the audits to cover both
approvals avoiding duplicated visit of a particular area.
32. Findings (NCAR M.B.605)
32.1 When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing non-
compliance to the Part-M requirement, the CAAN will take the following
actions:
(a) For level 1 findings, immediate action will be taken by the CAAN to revoke,
limit or suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1
finding, the maintenance organisation approval, until successful corrective
action has been taken by the organisation.
(b) For level 2 findings, the CAAN will grant a corrective action period
appropriate to the nature of the finding that will not be more than three
months. In certain circumstances, at the end of this first period and subject to
the nature of the finding, the CAAN can extend the three month period
subject to a satisfactory corrective action plan.
32.2 Action will be taken by the CAAN to suspend in whole or part the approval in
case of failure to comply within the timescale granted by the CAAN.
33. Findings (AMC M.B.605 (a)(1))
For a level 1 finding it may be necessary for the CAAN to ensure that further
maintenance and re-certification of all affected products is accomplished, dependent
upon the nature of the finding.
34. Changes M.B.606
34.1 The CAAN will comply with the applicable elements of the initial approval for
any change to the organisation notified in accordance with point M.A.617.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 72
34.2 The CAAN may prescribe the conditions under which the approved maintenance
organisation may operate during such changes, unless it determines that the
approval will be suspended due to the nature or the extent of the changes.
34.3 For any change to the maintenance organisation manual:
(a) In the case of direct approval of changes in accordance with point M.A. 604(b),
the CAAN will verify that the procedures specified in the manual are in
compliance with this Annex (Part-M) before formally notifying the approved
organisation of the approval.
(b) In the case an indirect approval procedure is used for the approval of the changes
in accordance with point M.A.604(c), the CAAN will ensure
(i) that the changes remain minor and
(ii) that it has an adequate control over the approval of the changes to ensure they
remain in compliance with the requirements of this Annex (Part-M).
35. Changes (AMC M.B.606)
35.1 Changes in nominated persons
The CAAN will have adequate control over any changes to personnel specified
in M.A.606 (a) and (b). Such changes will require an amendment to the manual.
35.2 It is recommended that a simple manual status sheet is maintained which
contains information on when an amendment was received by the CAAN and
when it was approved.
35.3 The CAAN will define the minor amendments to the manual which may be
incorporated through indirect approval. In this case a procedure will be stated in
the amendment section of the maintenance organisation manual.
Changes notified in accordance with M.A.617 are not considered minor.
For all cases other than minor, the applicable part(s) of the CAAN Form 6F will
be used for the change.
35.4 The approved maintenance organisation will submit each manual amendment to
the CAAN whether it be an amendment for CAAN approval or an indirectly
approved amendment. Where the amendment requires CAAN approval, the
CAAN when satisfied, will indicate its approval in writing. Where the
amendment has been submitted under the indirect approval procedure the
CAAN will acknowledge receipt in writing.

36. Revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval (NCAR M.B.607)
The CAAN will:
(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat,
or;
(b) suspend, revoke or limit an approval pursuant to NCAR M.B.605 (Para 32).
37. Application (NCAR M.B.701)
37.1 For commercial air transport the CAAN will receive for approval with the initial
application for the air operator’s certificate and where applicable any variation
applied for and for each aircraft type to be operated:
(a) the continuing airworthiness management exposition;
(b) the operator’s aircraft maintenance programmes;
(c) the aircraft technical log;
(d) where appropriate the technical specification of the maintenance contracts
between the operator and Part-145 approved maintenance organisation.
37.2 The investigation and continuous oversight of the facility will be carried out by
Director General, CAA Nepal.
38. Application (AMC M.B.701 (a))
38.1 The CAAN will not expect the documents listed in NCAR M.B.701 (a) to be
submitted in a completed state with the initial application for grant or change
since each may require approval in its own right and may be subject to
amendment as a result of CAAN assessment during the technical investigations.
Draft documents will be submitted at the earliest opportunity so that
investigation of the application can begin. Grant or change cannot be achieved
until the CAAN is in possession of completed documents.
38.2 This information is required to enable the CAAN to conduct its investigation, to
assess the volume of maintenance work necessary and the locations at which it
will be accomplished.
38.3 The applicant will inform the CAAN where base and scheduled line maintenance
is to take place and give details of any contracted maintenance which is in
addition to that provided in response to M.A.201 (h) 2 or M.A.708 (c).
38.4 At the time of application, the operator will have arrangements for all base and
scheduled line maintenance in place for an appropriate period of time, as
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 74
accepted to the CAAN. The operator will establish further arrangements in due
course before the maintenance is due.
Base maintenance contracts for high-life time checks may be based on one time
contracts, when the CAAN considers that this is compatible with the operator’s
fleet size.
39. Initial approval M.B.702
39.1 Provided the requirements of NCAR M.A.706(a), (c), (d) and NCAR M.A.707
are complied with, the CAAN will formally indicate its acceptance of the
M.A.706(a), (c), (d) and M.A.707 personnel to the applicant in writing.
39.2 The CAAN will establish that the procedures specified in the continuing
airworthiness management exposition comply with Part-M.A. Subpart G and
ensure the accountable manager signs the commitment statement.
39.3 The CAAN will verify the organisation’s compliance with M.A. Subpart G
requirements.
39.4 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once during
the investigation for approval to ensure that he/she fully understands the
significance of the approval and the reason for signing the exposition
commitment of the organisation to compliance with the procedures specified in
the continuing airworthiness management exposition.
39.5 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.
39.6 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close a
finding) and recommendations.
39.7 For initial approval all findings will be corrected by the organisation and closed
by the CAAN before the approval can be issued.
40. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (a))
40.1 ‘Formally indicate in writing’ means that a CAAN Form 4 will be used for this
activity. With the exception of the accountable manager, a CAAN Form 4 will
be completed for each person nominated to hold a position required by NCAR
M.A.706 (c) (d) and NCAR M.A.707.
40.2 In the case of the accountable manager, approval of the continuing airworthiness
management exposition containing the accountable manager’s signed
commitment statement constitutes formal acceptance, once the authority has
held a meeting with the accountable manager and is satisfied with its results.
41. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (b))
41.1 The CAAN will indicate approval of the continuing airworthiness management
exposition in writing.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 75
41.2 Contracts for sub-contracting continuing airworthiness management tasks by
continuing airworthiness management organisations will be included in the
continuing airworthiness management exposition. The CAAN will verify that
the standards set forth in AMC M.A. 201(h) 1 are being met when approving
the exposition.
41.3 The CAAN while investigating the acceptability of the proposed subcontracted
continuing airworthiness management tasks arrangements will take into account,
in the subcontracted organisation, all other such contracts that are in place
irrespective of state of registry in terms of sufficiency of resources, expertise,
management structure, facilities and liaison between the contracting continuing
airworthiness management organisation, the subcontracted organisation and
where applicable contracted Part-145 maintenance organisation(s).
42. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (c))
42.1 The CAAN will determine by whom, and how the audit will be conducted. For
example, it will be necessary to determine whether one large team audit or a
short series of small team audits or a long series of single man audits are most
appropriate for the particular situation.
42.2 The audit may be carried out on a product line type basis. For example, in the
case of an organisation with Airbus A320 and Airbus A310 ratings, the audit is
concentrated on one type only for a full compliance check. Dependent upon the
result, the second type may only require a sample check that will at least cover
the activities identified as weak for the first type.
42.3 When determining the scope of the audit and which activities of the organisation
will be assessed during the audit, the privileges of the approved organisation
will be taken into account, e.g. approval to carry out airworthiness reviews.
42.4 The CAAN auditing surveyor will always ensure that he/she is accompanied
throughout the audit by a senior technical member of the organisation.
Normally this is the quality manager. The reason for being accompanied is to
ensure the organisation is fully aware of any findings during the audit.
42.5 The auditing surveyor will inform the senior technical member of the
organisation at the end of the audit visit on all findings made during the audit.
43. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (e))
43.1 Findings will be recorded on an audit report form with a provisional
categorization as a level 1 or 2. Subsequent to the audit visit that identified the
particular findings, the CAAN will review the provisional finding levels,
adjusting them if necessary and change the categorisation from ‘provisional’ to
‘confirmed’.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 76
43.2 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation within 2
weeks of the audit visit.
43.3 There may be occasions when the CAAN finds situations in the applicant’s
organisation on which it is unsure about compliance. In this case, the
organisation will be informed about possible non-compliance at the time and
the fact that the situation will be reviewed within the CAAN before a decision
is made. If the review concludes that there is no finding then a verbal
confirmation to the organisation will suffice.
44. Initial approval (*) (AMC M.B.702 (f))
44.1 The audit report form will be the CAAN Form 13 (Appendix VII).
44.2 A quality review of the CAAN Form 13 audit report will be carried out by a
competent independent person nominated by the CAAN. The review will take
into account the relevant paragraphs of M.A. Subpart G, the categorisation of
finding levels and the closure action taken. Satisfactory review of the audit form
will be indicated by a signature on the CAAN Form 13.
45. Initial approval (AMC M.B.702 (g))
The audit reports will include the date each finding was cleared together with reference
to the CAAN report or letter that confirmed the clearance.
46. Issue of approval (NCAR M.B.703)
46.1 The CAAN will issue to the applicant a CAAN Form 14 approval certificate
(Appendix VI) which includes the extent of approval, when the continuing
airworthiness management organisation is in compliance with M.A. Subpart G.
46.2 The CAAN will indicate the validity of the approval on the CAAN Form 14
approval certificate.
46.3 The reference number will be included on the CAAN Form 14 approval
certificate.
46.4 In the case of commercial air transport, the information contained on a CAAN
Form 14 will be included on the air operator’s certificate
47. Issue of approval (AMC M.B.703)
The table shown for the Approval Schedule in CAAN Form 14 includes a field
designated as “Aircraft type/series/group”.
The intention is to give maximum flexibility to the CAAN to customise the approval to a
particular organisation.
Possible alternatives to be included in this field are the following:
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 77
- A specific type designation that is part of a type certificate, such as Airbus 340-211
or Cessna 172R.
- A type rating (or series) as listed in Part-66 Appendix I to AMC, which may be
further subdivided, such as Boeing 737-600/700/800, Boeing 737-600, Cessna 172
Series.
- An aircraft group such as Cessna single piston engined aircraft.
Reference to the engine type installed in the aircraft may or may not be included, as
necessary.
In all cases, the CAAN will be satisfied that the organisation has the capability to
manage the requested types/groups/series.
48. Continuing oversight (NCAR M.B.704)
48.1 The CAAN will keep and update a program listing for each M.A. Subpart G
approved continuing airworthiness organisations under its supervision, the dates
when audit visits are due and when such visits were carried out.
48.2 Each organisation will be completely audited at periods not exceeding 24
months.
48.3 A relevant sample of the aircraft managed by the M.B. Subpart G approved
organisation will be surveyed in every 24 month period. The size of the sample
will be decided by the CAAN based on the result of prior audits and earlier
product surveys.
48.4 All findings will be confirmed in writing to the applicant organisation.
48.5 The CAAN will record all findings, closure actions (actions required to close a
finding) and recommendations.
48.6 A meeting with the accountable manager will be convened at least once every 24
months to ensure he/she remains informed of significant issues arising during
audits
49. Continuing oversight (NCAR M.B.704)
49.1 Where the CAAN has decided that a series of audit visits are necessary to arrive
at a complete audit of an approved continuing airworthiness management
organisation, the program will indicate which aspects of the approval will be
covered on each visit.
49.2 It is recommended that part of an audit concentrates on two ongoing aspects of
the M.A. Subpart G approval, namely the organisations internal self monitoring
quality reports produced by the quality monitoring personnel to determine if the
organisation is identifying and correcting its problems and secondly the number
of concessions granted by the quality manager.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 78
49.3 At the successful conclusion of the audit(s) including verification of the
exposition, an audit report form will be completed by the auditing surveyor
including all recorded findings, closure actions and recommendation. A CAAN
Form 13 will be used for this activity.
49.4 Credit may be claimed by the CAAN Surveyor(s) for specific item audits
completed during the preceding 23 month period subject to four conditions:
(a) the specific item audit will be the same as that required by M.A. Subpart G latest
amendment, and
(b) there will be satisfactory evidence on record that such specific item audits were
carried out and that all corrective actions have been taken, and
(c) the CAAN surveyor(s) will be satisfied that there is no reason to believe standards
have deteriorated in respect of those specific item audits being granted a back credit;
(d) the specific item audit being granted a back credit will be audited not later than 24
months after the last audit of the item.
49.5 When an operator sub-contracts continuing airworthiness management tasks all
sub-contracted organisations will also be audited by the CAAN of operator at
periods not exceeding 24 months (credits per paragraph 4 above are permitted)
to ensure they fully comply with M.A. Subpart G. For these audits, the CAAN
auditing surveyor will always ensure that he/she is accompanied throughout the
audit by a senior technical member of the operator. All findings will be sent to
and corrected by the operator.
49.6 When performing the oversight of organisations that hold both M.A. Subpart F
and M.A. Subpart G approvals, the CAAN will arrange the audits to cover both
approvals avoiding duplicated visit of a particular area.
50. Findings (NCAR M.B.705)
50.1 When during audits or by other means evidence is found showing non-
compliance to the Part-M requirement, the CAAN will take the following
actions:
(a) For level 1 findings, immediate action will be taken by the CAAN to revoke, limit
or suspend in whole or in part, depending upon the extent of the level 1 finding,
the continuing airworthiness management organisation approval, until successful
corrective action has been taken by the organisation.
(b) For level 2 findings, the CAAN will grant a corrective action period appropriate to
the nature of the finding that will not be more than three months. In certain
circumstances, at the end of this first period, and subject to the nature of the
finding the CAAN can extend the three month period subject to a satisfactory
corrective action plan.

HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 79
50.2 Action will be taken by the CAAN to suspend in whole or part the approval in
case of failure to comply within the timescale granted by the CAAN.
51. Findings (AMC M.B.705 (a) (1))
51.1 For a level 1 finding the CAAN will inform the owner/operator and the CAAN
of any potentially affected aircraft in order that corrective action can be taken to
ensure possible unsafe conditions on these aircraft are corrected before further
flight.
51.2 Furthermore, a level 1 finding could lead to a non compliance to be found on an
aircraft as specified in NCAR M.B. 303 (g). In this case, proper action as
specified in NCAR M.B.303 would be taken.
52. Changes (NCAR M.B.706)
52.1 The CAAN will comply with the applicable elements of the initial approval for
any change to the organisation notified in accordance with point NCAR
M.A.713.
52.2 The CAAN may prescribe the conditions under which the approved continuing
airworthiness management organisation may operate during such changes unless
it determines that the approval will be suspended due to the nature or the extent
of the changes.
52.3 For any change to the continuing airworthiness management exposition:
(a) In the case of direct approval of changes in accordance with NCAR M.A.704(b),
the CAAN will verify that the procedures specified in the exposition are in
compliance with this Annex (Part-M) before formally notifying the approved
organisation of the approval.
(b) In the case an indirect approval procedure is used for the approval of the changes
in accordance with point NCAR M.A.704(c), the CAAN will ensure
(i) that the changes remain minor and
(ii) that it has an adequate control over the approval of the changes to ensure
they remain in compliance with the requirements of this Annex (Part-M);
53. Changes (AMC M.B.706)
53.1 Changes in nominated persons
The CAAN will have adequate control over any changes to the personnel
specified in NCAR M.A.706 (a), (c), (d) and (i). Such changes will require an
amendment to the exposition.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 80
53.2 It is recommended that a simple exposition status sheet is maintained which
contains information on when an amendment was received by the CAAN and
when it was approved.
53.3 The CAAN will define the minor amendments to the exposition which may be
incorporated through indirect approval. In this case a procedure will be stated in
the amendment section of the approved continuing airworthiness management
exposition.
Changes notified in accordance with NCAR M.A.713 are not considered minor.
For all cases other than minor, the applicable part(s) of the CAAN Form 13 will
be used for the change.
53.4 The approved continuing airworthiness management organisation will submit
each exposition amendment to the CAAN whether it be an amendment for
CAAN approval or an indirectly approved amendment. Where the amendment
requires CAAN approval, the CAAN when satisfied, will indicate its approval in
writing. Where the amendment has been submitted under the indirect approval
procedure the CAAN will acknowledge receipt in writing.
54. Revocation, suspension and limitation of an approval (NCAR M.B.707)
The CAAN will:
(a) suspend an approval on reasonable grounds in the case of potential safety threat,
or;
(b) suspend, revoke or limit an approval pursuant to NCAR M.B.705.
55. Assessment of recommendations (NCAR M.B.901)
Upon receipt of an application and associated airworthiness review certificate
recommendation in accordance with NCAR M.A.901:
55.1 Appropriate qualified personnel from the CAAN will verify that the compliance
statement contained in the recommendation demonstrates that a complete
NCAR M.A.710 airworthiness review has been carried out.
55.2 The CAAN will investigate and may request further information to support the
assessment of the recommendation.
56. Assessment of recommendations (AMC M.B.901)
56.1 The result of the verification and the investigation of a recommendation will be
sent to the applicant within 30 days. If corrective action has been requested
before the issuance of an airworthiness review certificate, the CAAN may
decide a further period for the assessment of the requested corrective action.
AAIIRRWWOORRTTHHIINNEESSSS IINNSSPPEECCTTOORRSS
HHAANNDDBBOOOOKK--FFOORR NNCCAARR 114455//6666//114477//MM
July 2012 Page 81
56.2 The verification of the compliance statement required by NCAR M.B.901 does
not mean repeating the airworthiness review itself. However the CAAN will
verify that the M.A. Subpart G organisation has carried out a complete and
accurate assessment of the airworthiness of the aircraft.
56.3 Depending on the content of the recommendation, the history of the particular
aircraft, and the knowledge of the M.A.Subpart G organisation or NCAR
M.A.901 (g) certifying staff making the recommendation in terms of experience,
number and correction of findings and previous recommendations the extent of
the investigation will vary. Therefore, whenever possible the person carrying out
the investigation will be involved in the oversight of the M.A.Subpart G
organisation making the recommendation.
56.4 In some cases, the inspector may decide that it is necessary to organise:
- a physical survey of the aircraft, or;
- a full or partial airworthiness review.
In this case, the inspector will inform the M.A.Subpart G organisation or
M.A.901(g) certifying staff making the recommendation with sufficient notice
so that it may organise itself according to M.A.901 (j).
Furthermore, this part of the investigation will be carried out by appropriate
airworthiness review staff in accordance with M.B. 902 (b).
5. Only when satisfied the aircraft is airworthy, should the inspector issue an airworthiness
review certificate.
57. Airworthiness review by CAAN (NCAR M.B.902)
57.1 When the CAAN carries out the airworthiness review and issues the
airworthiness review certificate CAAN Form 15a (Appendix III), the CAAN
will carry out an airworthiness review in accordance with point NCAR
M.A.710.
57.2 The CAAN will have appropriate airworthiness review staff to carry out the
airworthiness reviews.
(a) For all aircraft used in commercial air transport, and aircraft above 2730 kg
MTOM, except balloons, these staff will have acquired:
(i) at least five years experience in continuing airworthiness, and;
(ii) an appropriate licence in compliance with Annex III (Part-66) or a nationally
recognized maintenance personnel qualification appropriate to the aircraft
category (when Annex III (Part-66) refers to national rules) or an aeronautical

58.4 To hold a position with appropriate responsibilities means the airworthiness
review staff will have a position within the CAAN that authorizes that person to
sign on behalf that CAAN.
58.5 A person in the CAAN carrying out airworthiness reviews or airworthiness
certificate renewal inspections, prior to the date of entry into force of Part-M
will be considered as complying with Para 58.
59. Airworthiness review by the CAAN (AMC M.B.902 (b) (1))
For all aircraft used in commercial air transport and any other aircraft, other than
balloons, above 2730 kg MTOM, formal aeronautical maintenance training means
training (internal or external) supported by evidence on the following subjects:
- Relevant parts of continuing airworthiness regulations.
- Relevant parts of operational requirements and procedures, if applicable.
- Knowledge of the internal procedures for continuing airworthiness.
- Knowledge of a relevant sample of the type(s) of aircraft gained through a
