Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 2 Major Discussion Points Continued Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) presented by EASA Maintenance management activities are shifting from the operator to the OEM. –New concepts presented by Boeing (Gold Care) and Rolls-Royce (Total Care). The operators contract with the OEM, and not with the repair stations. –These contracts are flexible and modular The responsibility still remains with the operator.

Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 3 Reactions from the Floor Request for additional information on CAMO. –EASA announced change in rule, to allow outsourcing of CAMO for air transport operations Concern that there may be an unclear situation with respect to airworthiness, because the contractual arrangements are between the repair station and the OEM, and not anymore with the operator.

Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 4 Reactions from the Floor This business model expands globalisation, which in turn raises additional concerns: –Cultural differences, communication and human factors. –New business model will standardise wording and promote information sharing, –Ability of repair stations to deal with aging aircraft, –Parts pooling and the multiple releases –Emerging Airworthiness Authorities’ requirements.

Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 5 Outcomes/Additional Ideas EASA CAMO rule will be revised. It might facilitate the new business model. EASA and FAA are monitoring the development of the new business model and will react accordingly.
