    Safety & Oversight

    (front page link)

    Government & Industry Safety at all Levels


    A Global Partnership for Aviation Safety
    Maintenance organisations, manufacturers, designers, air operators, industry
    sector association and CASA all work together to ensure aviation safety.

    Maintenance organisations are approved (i.e., licensed) and regulated by the Civil
    Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) which derives its authority from the Civil
    Aviation Act, Civil Aviation Safety Regulations, Civil Aviation Regulations, and
    amended frequently, establishes the legal mandate for CASA to promulgate
    Manual of Standards affecting civil aviation safety and security.

    Regulations and CASA promulgated Standards made under the Civil Aviation
    (Safety) Regulations which control – among other things – the design, production,
    sales, operation and maintenance of civil aviation aircraft, products and articles.
    Other countries have created similar regulatory infrastructures and parallel civil
    aviation authorities (CAA) to oversee the industry.

    Regulation
    Maintenance organisations are regulated under CASR Part 145 & CAR 30 which
    is why maintenance organisations are often referred to as CASR 145 or CAR 30
    organisations. To be approved by CASA, they must demonstrate to CASA that
    they possess the facilities, equipment, personnel, and data and quality control
    systems necessary to perform maintenance in an airworthy manner. A
    maintenance organisation is licenced to perform certain types of maintenance,
    based on demonstrating capability. The standards, and the related organisation’s
    capability, reflect the reality that maintenance organisations perform maintenance
    that ranges in size and complexity.

    Oversight & International Relations


    Oversight obligations, however, are not limited to CASA or other CAAs. In
    addition to regular inspection visits and audits by CASA, maintenance
    organisations receive frequent audits by their airline customers, third party quality
    organizations, and the maintenance organisations’ own quality assurance
    personnel. Collectively, industry and government work together to provide
    consistent oversight to ensure continued quality and safety.

    Oversight is also international. Bilateral Air Safety Agreements (BASAs) are


    government-to-government arrangements that regulate the operation of
    international air services between two countries. BASAs allow for cooperation in
    a range of areas including design, production, flight operations, environmental
    certification, and maintenance.

    While Australia has concluded a number of BASAs with various governments,


    only a few involve maintenance. Industry see a need for a maintenance agreement
    with the United States of America (FAA), New Zealand (CAA(NZ) and countries
    in the Asia/Pacific Region.

    BASAs aim is to reduce regulatory duplication and provide greater market access
    for maintenance organisations. Generally, BASAs remove regulatory obstacles by
    allowing the domestic aviation authority to perform audits and make findings on
    behalf of the foreign authority, thereby avoiding duplication and government
    waste, and making it easier for maintenance organisations to serve foreign
    customers. For example, under the BASA between the United States and EU, U.S.
    repair stations can obtain approval to work on EU-registered products based on a
    valid FAA part 145 certificate and compliance with certain other conditions.

    For the benefit of Australia’s maintenance industry, government and CASA must
    apply considerable effort to opening up foreign markets, especially with
    Asia/Pacific Rim countries.

    You can access agreements listed by CASA HERE

    There are agreements with: United States, China, New Zealand, Singapore, Korea,
    Brazil, Papua New Guinea and EASA.

    They haven’t benefited the maintenance industry, the design industry or


    manufacturing industry to any great effect.
