Issue: 4.00 13 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements AMC1 147.A.115(a) Instructional equipment If the maintenance training organisation transfers knowledge through a virtually controlled environment (e.g. distance learning, computer-based training (CBT) or multimedia-based training (MBT)), the organisation should ensure that: - the computer system requirements are made known to the end user; - the students’ activities are traceable, documented and recorded; and - the computer system requirements of any third-party provider are covered by a written agreement concluded between the two parties and includes the terms of delivery, data security and data integrity. GM1 147.A.115(a);(d) Instructional equipment 1. Refer to the GM to Section 3 of Appendix III to MCAR-66 for the description, and to point 7 of the AMC to Section 1 of Appendix III to MCAR-66 for the definitions. 2. It is acknowledged that situations could exist where the size and complexity of such MSTDs and/or MTDs may require dedicated infrastructure. Such instances should be acceptable provided that student access to, and the use of, the respective MSTDs/MTDs is appropriately ensured. AMC 147.A.115(c) Instructional equipment 1. An appropriate selection of aircraft parts means appropriate in relation to the particular subject module or sub-module of MCAR-66 being instructed. For example the turbine engine module should require the provision of sufficient parts from different types of turbine engine to show what such parts look like, what the critical areas are from a maintenance viewpoint and to enable disassembly/assembly exercises to be completed. 2. Appropriate aircraft, engines, aircraft parts and avionic equipment means appropriate in relation to the particular subject module or sub-module of MCAR-66 being instructed. For example category B2 avionic training should require amongst other equipment, access to at least one type of installed autopilot and flight director system such that maintenance and system functioning can be observed and therefore more fully understood by the student in the working environment. 3. “Access” may be interpreted to mean, in conjunction with the facilities requirement of 147.A.100(d), that there may be an agreement with a maintenance organisation approved under MCAR-145 to access such parts, etc. Issue: 4.00 14 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements 147.A.120 Maintenance training material (a) Maintenance training course material shall be provided to the student and cover as applicable: 1. the basic knowledge syllabus specified in MCAR-66 for the relevant aircraft maintenance licence category or subcategory and, 2. the type course content required by MCAR-66 for the relevant aircraft type and aircraft maintenance licence category or subcategory.

MCAR-147.A.130 Training procedures and quality system (a) The organisation shall establish procedures acceptable to the CAA to ensure proper training standards and compliance with all relevant requirements in this regulation. (b) The organisation shall establish a quality system including: 1. an independent audit function to monitor training standards, the integrity of knowledge examinations and practical assessments, compliance with and adequacy of the procedures, and 2. a feedback system of audit findings to the person(s) and ultimately to the accountable manager referred to in 147.A.105(a) to ensure, as necessary, corrective action. AMC1 147.A.130(a) Training procedures and quality system This guidance material provides some clarifications for the incorporation of new training methods and training technologies in the procedures for aircraft maintenance training. The classic training method is a teacher lecturing the pupils in a classroom. Commonly the training tools are a blackboard and training manuals. New technologies make it possible to develop new training methods and use other training tools, e.g. multimedia-based training and virtual reality. A combination of several training methods/tools is recommended in order to increase the overall effectiveness of the training. Simulation cannot be eligible as a sole training or assessment tool for basic hand skills such as wiring, welding, drilling, filing, wire locking, riveting, bonding or any other skill where competence may only be achievable by performing a hands-on activity.

Computer- CBT is any interactive means of structured based training training using a computer to deliver a (CBT) content. (Note: Not to be confused with X X X competency-based training that also uses the acronym ‘CBT’) Demonstration A method of teaching by example rather than explanation. X X Distance Distance learning reflects training learning situations in which instructors and asynchronous students are physically separated. It is X X asynchronous if the teacher and the students do not interact at the same time. Distance Distance learning reflects training learning situations in which instructors and synchronous students are physically separated. It is synchronous if the teacher and the X X students interact at the same time (real time). e-learning Training via a network or electronic means, with or without the support of X X X instructors (e-tutors). Lecturing Practice of face-to-face delivery of training (instructor- and learning material between an X X led/face to face) instructor and students, either individuals or groups.

Web-based Generic term for training or instruction training (WBT) delivered over the internet or an intranet X X X using a web browser. Note: The purpose of this table is to provide a short definition for each associated training method and to relate each method to the focus of the learning. It is not meant to comprehensively explore and identify the capabilities of each training method herein included. (1). ‘Instructor-centred’ means that the instructor is responsible for teaching the student. (2). ‘Student-centred’ means that the student is responsible for the learning progress. (3). ‘Blended training’ includes different instructional methods and tools, different delivery methods, different scheduling (synchronous/asynchronous) or different levels of guidance. Blended training allows the integration of a range of learning opportunities. (4). ‘Multimedia-based training’ by definition uses various media to achieve its objective, thus, none of the single media listed is per se a complete solution for training. Table 3 presents the combination of training methods and tools that may be taken into account for theoretical and practical training. The table is intended to support potential delivery methods. Additional training methods and further use of those methods could be acceptable to the competent authority when demonstrated as supporting learning objectives.

Issue: 4.00 21 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements AMC 147.A.130(b) Training procedures and quality system 1. The independent audit procedure should ensure that all aspects of MCAR-147 compliance should be checked at least once in every 12 months and may be carried out as one complete single exercise or subdivided over a 12-month period in accordance with a scheduled plan. 2. In a small maintenance training organisation the independent audit function may be contracted to another maintenance training organisation approved under MCAR-147 or a competent person acceptable to the CAA. Where the small training organisation chooses to contract the audit function it is conditional on the audit being carried out twice in every 12 month period with one such audit being unannounced. 3. Where the maintenance training organisation is also approved under another part of the Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations requiring a quality system, then such quality systems may be combined. 4. When training or examination is carried out under the sub-contract control system: i. a pre audit procedure should be established whereby the MCAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation’ should audit a prospective sub-contractor to determine whether the services of the sub-contractor meet the intent of MCAR-147. ii. a renewal audit of the subcontractor should be performed at least once every 12 months to ensure continuous compliance with the MCAR-147 standard. iii. the sub-contract control procedure should record audits of the subcontractor and to have a corrective action follow-up plan. 5. The independence of the audit system should be established by always ensuring that audits are carried out by personnel not responsible for the function or procedure being checked. Issue: 4.00 22 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements GM 147.A.130 (b) Training procedures and quality system 1.

The primary objective of the quality system is to enable the training organisation to satisfy itself that it can deliver properly trained students and that the organisation remains in compliance with MCAR-147. 2. The independent audit is a process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the training organisation’s ability to carry out all training and examinations to the required standards. It represents an overview of the complete training system and does not replace the need for instructors to ensure that they carry out training to the required standard. 3. A report should be raised each time an audit is carried out describing what was checked and any resulting findings. The report should be sent to the affected department(s) for rectification action giving target rectification dates. Possible rectification dates may be discussed with the affected department(s) before the quality department confirms such dates on the report. The affected department(s) should rectify any findings and inform the quality department of such rectification. 4. A large training organisation (an organisation with the capacity to provide training for 50 students or more) should have a dedicated quality audit group whose sole function is to conduct audits, raise finding reports and follow up to ensure that findings are being rectified. For the small training organisation (an organisation with the capacity to provide training for less than 50 students) it is acceptable to use competent personnel from one section/department not responsible for the function or procedure to check the section/department that is responsible subject to the overall planning and implementation being under the control of the quality manager. 5. The management control and follow up system should not be contracted to outside persons. The principal function is to ensure that all findings resulting from the independent audit are corrected in a timely manner and to enable the accountable manager to remain properly informed of the state of compliance. Apart from rectification of findings, the accountable manager should hold routine meetings to check progress on rectification except that in the large training organisation such meetings may be delegated on a day to day basis to the quality manager as long as the accountable manager meets at least once per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance. Issue: 4.00 23 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements MCAR-147.A.135 Examinations (a) The examination staff shall ensure the security of all questions. (b) Any student found during a knowledge examination to be cheating or in possession of material pertaining to the examination subject other than the examination papers and associated authorised documentation shall be disqualified from taking the examination and may not take any examination for at least 12 months after the date of the incident. The CAA shall be informed of any such incident together with the details of any enquiry within one calendar month. (c) Any examiner found during a knowledge examination to be providing question answers to any student being examined shall be disqualified from acting as an examiner and the examination declared void. The CAA must be informed of any such occurrence within one calendar month. (d) The examination shall be performed in a controlled environment by a training organisation approved under this Regulation and described in its maintenance training organisation exposition (MTOE). For examination purposes, a ‘controlled environment’ means an environment where the following can be established and verified: (a) the identity of the students; (b) the proper conduct of the examination process; (c) the integrity of the examination and (d) the security of the examination material. AMC 147.A.135 Examinations 1. Examinations may be computer- or hard-copy-based or a combination of both. 2. The actual questions to be used in a particular examination should be determined by the examiners. GM 147.A.135 Examinations The CAA will determine when or if the disqualified examiner may be reinstated.

(b) The maintenance training organisation's exposition and any subsequent amendments shall be approved by the CAA. (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) minor amendments to the exposition may be approved through an exposition procedure (hereinafter called indirect approval). Issue: 4.00 25 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements AMC 147.A.140 Maintenance training organisation exposition 1. A recommended format of the exposition is included in AMC Appendix 1. 2. When the maintenance training organisation is approved in accordance with any other part of the Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations which also requires an exposition, the exposition required by the other regulation may form the basis of the maintenance training organisation exposition in a combined document, as long as the other exposition contains the information required by 147.A.140 and a cross reference index is included based upon AMC Appendix 1. 3. When training or examination is carried out under the sub-contract control system the maintenance training organisation exposition should contain a specific procedure on the control of sub-contractors as per AMC Appendix 1 item 2.18 plus a list of sub-contractors as required by 147.A.140(a)(12) and detailed in AMC Appendix 1 item 1.7. 4. The CAA may approve a delegated exposition approval system for all changes other than those affecting the approval. Issue: 4.00 26 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements MCAR-147.A.145 Privileges of the maintenance training organisation (a) The maintenance training organisation may carry out the following as permitted by and in accordance with the maintenance training organisation exposition: i. basic training courses to the MCAR-66 syllabus, or part thereof. ii. aircraft type/task training courses in accordance with MCAR-66. iii. the examination of students who attended the basic or aircraft type training course at the maintenance training organisation; iv. the examination of students who did not attend the aircraft type training course at the maintenance training organisation; v. the examination of students who did not attend the basic training course at the maintenance training organisation, provided that: (1). the examination is conducted at one of the locations identified in the approval certificate, or (2). if performed at locations not identified in the approval certificate, as permitted by points (b) and (c), either - the examination is provided through a Central Question Bank (CQB) accepted by the CAA, or - in the absence of a CQB, the CAA selects the questions for the examination; vi. the issue of certificates in accordance with Appendix III following successful completion of the approved basic or aircraft type training courses and examinations specified in points (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) and (a)(v), as applicable. (b) Theoretical training, knowledge examinations, practical training and practical assessments may be carried out only at the locations identified in the approval certificate or at any location specified in the MTOE. (c) By derogation to paragraph (b), the maintenance training organisation may only conduct training, knowledge examinations and practical assessments in locations different from the paragraph (b) locations in accordance with a control procedure specified in the maintenance training organisation exposition. Such locations need not be listed in the maintenance training organisation exposition. (d) 1. The maintenance training organisation may subcontract the conduct of basic theoretical training, type training and related examinations to a non maintenance training organisation only when under the control of the maintenance training organisation quality system. 2. The subcontracting of basic theoretical training and examination is limited to MCAR-66, Appendix I, Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. Issue: 4.00 27 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements 3. The subcontracting of type training and examination is limited to powerplant and avionic systems. (e) An organisation may not be approved to conduct examinations unless approved to conduct the corresponding training. (f) By derogation from point (e), an organisation approved to provide basic knowledge training or type training may also be approved to provide type examination in the cases where type training is not required. Issue: 4.00 28 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements AMC1 147.A.145(c) Distance learning via uniform resource locator (URL) addresses Distance training may also be delivered via URL addresses. When delivering distance training, the learning location is the responsibility of the student and need not be controlled by the training organisation. Refer to point 147.A.100(j). Knowledge examinations may also be conducted by accessing the examination questions via uniform resource locator (URL) addresses, provided the knowledge examination environment is under the control of the maintenance training organisation. AMC 147.A.145(d) Privileges of the maintenance training organisation 1. When training or examination is carried out under the sub-contract control system it means that for the duration of such training or examination, the MCAR-147 approval has been temporarily extended to include the subcontractor. It therefore follows that those parts of the sub-contractor’s facilities, personnel and procedures involved with the MCAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation’s students should meet requirements of MCAR-147 for the duration of that training or examination and it remains the MCAR-147 organisation’s responsibility to ensure such requirements are satisfied. 2. The maintenance training organisation approved under this Regulation is not required to have complete facilities and personnel for training that it needs to subcontract but it should have its own expertise to determine that the subcontractor meets the MCAR-147 standards. Particular attention should be given to ensuring that the training that is delivered also meets the requirements of MCAR-66 and the aircraft technologies as appropriate. 3. The contract between the maintenance training organisation approved under this Regulation and the subcontractor should contain: (a) a provision for the CAA to have right of access to the sub-contractor; (b) a provision for the subcontractor to inform the MCAR-147 approved maintenance training organisation of any change that may affect its MCAR-147 approval, before any such change takes place. AMC 147.A.145(f) Privileges of the maintenance training organisation When an organisation approved to provide basic knowledge training or type training is also approved to provide type examination in the cases where type training is not required, appropriate procedures in the MTOE should be developed and approved, including: - The development and the conduct of the type examination; - The qualification of the examiners and their currency. In particular, emphasis should be put when such an examination is not regularly conducted or when the examiners are not normally involved in aircraft or activities with technology corresponding to the aircraft type subject to examination. An example would be the case of an organisation providing basic knowledge training only for the B1.1 licence. The organisation Issue: 4.00 29 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements should justify how they run type examinations for single piston-engine helicopters in the case of a B1.4 licence. Issue: 4.00 30 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements GM 147.A.145 (d) Privileges of the maintenance training organisation 1. The pre audit procedure should focus on establishing compliance with the training and examination standards set out in MCAR-147 and MCAR-66. 2. The fundamental reason for allowing a maintenance training organisation approved under MCAR-147 to sub-contract certain basic theoretical training courses is to permit the approval of maintenance training organisations which may not have the capacity to conduct training courses on all MCAR-66 modules. 3. The reason for allowing the subcontracting of only training modules 1 to 6 and 8 to 10 of Appendix 1 to MCAR-66 is that most of the related subjects can generally also be taught by training organisations not specialised in aircraft maintenance and the practical training element as specified in 147.A.200 does not apply to them. On the contrary, training modules 7 and 11 to 17 of Appendix I to MCAR-66 are specific to aircraft maintenance and include the practical training element as specified in 147.A.200. The intent of the “limited subcontracting” option as specified in 147.A.145 is to grant MCAR-147 approvals only to those organisations having themselves at least the capacity to teach on aircraft maintenance specific matters. GM 147.A.145 (d)3 Privileges of the maintenance training organisation In the case of type training and examination, the reason for allowing only subcontracting to powerplant and avionic systems is that the related subjects can generally also be imparted by certain organisations specialised in these domains such as the Type Certificate Holder of the powerplant or the OEMs of these avionic systems. In such a case, the type training course should make clear how the interfaces with the airframe are addressed and by whom (the subcontracted organisation or the MCAR-147 organisation itself). Issue: 4.00 31 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements MCAR-147.A.150 Changes to the maintenance training organization (a) The maintenance training organisation shall notify the CAA of any proposed changes to the organisation that affect the approval before any such change takes place, in order to enable the CAA to determine continued compliance with this regulation and to amend if necessary the maintenance training organisation approval certificate. (b) The CAA may prescribe the conditions under which the maintenance training organisation may operate during such changes unless the CAA determines that the maintenance training organisation approval must be suspended. (c) Failure to inform the CAA of such changes may result in suspension or revocation of the maintenance training organisation approval certificate backdated to the actual date of the changes. Issue: 4.00 32 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements MCAR-147.A.155 Continued validity (a) An approval shall be issued for a maximum period of one year. It shall remain valid subject to: 1. the organisation remaining in compliance with this regulation, in accordance with the provisions related to the handling of findings; and 2. the CAA being granted access to the organisation to determine continued compliance with this regulation; and 3. the certificate not being suspended, surrendered or revoked. (b) Upon surrender or revocation, the approval shall be returned to the CAA. Issue: 4.00 33 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements MCAR-147.A.160 Findings (a) A level 1 finding is one or more of the following: 1. any significant non-compliance with the examination process which would invalidate the examination(s), 2. failure to give the CAA access to the organisation's facilities during normal operating hours after two written requests, 3. the lack of an accountable manager, 4. a significant non-compliance with the training process. (b) A level 2 finding is any non-compliance with the training process other than level 1 findings. (c) After receipt of notification of findings, the holder of the maintenance training organisation approval shall define a corrective action plan and demonstrate corrective action to the satisfaction of the CAA within a period agreed with this authority.

(b) The knowledge training element shall cover the subject matter for a category or subcategory aircraft maintenance licence as specified in MCAR-66. (c) The knowledge examination element shall cover a representative cross section of subject matter from the paragraph (b) training element. (d) The practical training element shall cover the practical use of common tooling/equipment, the disassembly/assembly of a representative selection of aircraft parts and the participation in representative maintenance activities being carried out relevant to the particular MCAR-66 complete module. (e) The practical assessment element shall cover the practical training and determine whether the student is competent at using tools and equipment and working in accordance with maintenance manuals. (f) The duration of basic training courses shall be in accordance with Appendix I. (g) Notwithstanding point (f), in order to benefit from changes in training technologies and methods (theoretical training), or from credits specified in point 66.A.25(e) of MCAR-66, the number of hours as established in Appendix I (Basic training course duration) may be amended provided that the syllabus content and schedule describe and justify the proposed changes. A procedure shall be included in the MTOE to justify those changes. (h) The duration of conversion courses between (sub)categories shall be determined through an assessment of the basic training syllabus and the related practical training needs. Issue: 4.00 35 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements AMC 147.A.200(b) The approved basic training course Each licence category or subcategory basic training course may be subdivided into modules or submodules of knowledge and may be intermixed with the practical training elements subject to the required time elements of 147.A.200 (f) and (g) being satisfied. AMC 147.A.200(d) The approved basic training course 1. Where the maintenance training organisation approved under MCAR-147 contracts the practical training element either totally or in part to another organisation in accordance with 147.A.100(d), the approved organization in question should ensure that the practical training elements are properly carried out. 2. At least 30% of the practical training element should be carried out in an actual maintenance working environment. AMC1 147.A.200(f) The approved basic training course 1. In order to follow pedagogical and human factors principles, the maximum number of training hours per day for the theoretical training should not be more than 6 hours. A training hour means 60 minutes of tuition excluding any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visit. In exceptional cases, the CAA may allow deviation from this standard when it is properly justified that the proposed number of hours follows pedagogical and human factors principles. These principles are especially important in those cases where: - Theoretical and practical training are performed at the same time; - Training and normal maintenance duty/apprenticeship are performed at the same time. 2. The minimum participation criteria for the trainee in order to meet the objectives of the basic training course should not be less than 90 % of the tuition hours or 95 % completion of the content for student-centred methods in a theoretical training course. Additional training may be provided by the training organisation for the trainee to meet the minimum participation criteria. If the minimum participation that is defined for the basic training course is not met, a certificate of recognition (CoR) should not be issued. AMC 147.A.200(g) The approved basic training course Typical conversion durations are given below: (a) The approved basic training course to qualify for conversion from holding a MCAR-66 aircraft maintenance licence in subcategory A1 to subcategory B1.1 or B2 should not be less than 1600 hours and for conversion from holding a MCAR-66 aircraft maintenance licence in subcategory A1 to subcategory B1.1 combined with B2 should not be less than 2200 hours. The course should include between 60% and 70% knowledge training.

Issue: 4.00 40 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements AMC 147.A.210(a) Basic practical assessment Where the maintenance training organisation approved under MCAR-147 contracts the practical training element either totally or in part to another organisation in accordance with 147.A.100(d) and chooses to nominate practical assessors from the other organisation, the organization in question should ensure that the basic practical assessments are carried out. AMC 147.A.210(b) Basic practical assessment An assessed pass for each student should be granted when the practical assessor is satisfied that the student meets the criteria of 147.A.200(e). This means that the student has demonstrated the capability to use relevant tools/equipment/test equipment as specified by the tool/equipment/test equipment manufacturer and the use of maintenance manuals in that the student can carry out the required inspection/testing without missing any defects, can readily identify the location of components and is capable of correct removal/fitment/adjustment of such components. The student is only required to carry out enough inspection/testing and component removal/fitment/adjustments to prove capability. The student should also show an appreciation of the need to ensure clean working conditions and the observance of safety precautions for the student and the product. In addition, the student should demonstrate a responsible attitude in respect to flight safety and airworthiness of the aircraft. Appendix III to AMC to MCAR-66 provides criteria for the competence assessment performed by the designated assessors (and their qualifications).

Issue: 4.00 42 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section A – Technical Requirements AMC1 147.A.300 Aircraft type/task training Aircraft type training may be sub-divided in airframe and/or powerplant and/or avionics/electrical systems type training courses. A maintenance training organisation approved under MCAR-147 may be approved to conduct airframe type training only, powerplant type training only or, avionics/electrical systems type training only or any combination thereof. 1. Airframe type training means a type training course including all relevant aircraft structure and electrical and mechanical systems excluding the powerplant. 2. Powerplant type training course means a type training course on the bare engine, including the build-up to a quick engine change unit. 3. The interface of the engine/airframe systems should be addressed by either airframe or powerplant type training course. In some cases, such as for general aviation, it may be more appropriate to cover the interface during the airframe course due to the large variety of aircraft that can have the same engine type installed. 4. Avionic/electrical systems type training course means type training on avionics systems covered by but not necessarily limited to ATA (Air Transport Association) chapters 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 31, 33, 34, 42, 44, 45, 46, 73 and 77 or equivalent. 5.

Issue: 4.00 44 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section B – Procedures for the CAA Section B — PROCEDURES FOR THE CAA Issue: 4.00 45 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section B – Procedures for the CAA Subpart A — GENERAL MCAR-147.B.05 Scope This section establishes the administrative requirements followed by the CAA in the application and the enforcement of Section A of this MCAR Issue: 4.00 46 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section B – Procedures for the CAA Subpart B — ISSUE OF AN APPROVAL This Subpart provides the requirements to issue or vary the maintenance training organisation approval. MCAR-147.B.110 Procedure for approval and changes to the approval (a) Upon receipt of an application, the CAA will: 1. review the maintenance training organisation exposition; and 2. verify the organisation's compliance with the requirement of MCAR-147. (b) All findings identified will be recorded and confirmed in writing to the applicant. (c) All findings will be closed in accordance with point MCAR-147.B.130 before the approval is issued. GM to MCAR-147.B.110 Procedure for approval and changes to the approval 1. A meeting will be arranged between the applicant and the CAA to determine if the applicant's training activities justify the investigation for issue of MCAR-147 approval and to ensure that the applicant understands what needs to be done for MCAR-147 approval. This meeting is not intended to establish compliance but rather to see if the activity is a MCAR- 147 activity. 2. Assuming that the applicant's activities come within the scope of MCAR-147 approval, instructions should be sent to the CAA staff requesting that an audit of the applicant be carried out and when satisfied that compliance has been established. The CAA will determine how and by whom the audit shall be conducted. For example, if the applicant is a large training organisation, 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 person audits is most appropriate for the particular situation. A further consideration in the case of a combined MCAR-145/147 organisation is the possibility to combine the audits. 3. Where it is intended that the maintenance training organisation may conduct training and examinations away from the maintenance training organisation address(es) in accordance with 147.A.145(c), then a sample audit will be carried out by the CAA from time to time of the process to ensure that procedures are followed. For practical reasons such sample audits will need to be carried out when training is being conducted away from the maintenance training organisation address(es). 4. The auditing surveyor will ensure that they are always accompanied throughout the audit by a senior member of the organisation making application for MCAR-147 approval. Normally this should be the proposed quality manager. The reason for being accompanied Issue: 4.00 47 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section B – Procedures for the CAA is to ensure that the organisation is fully aware of any findings during the audit. In any case, the proposed quality manager/senior member of the organisation will be debriefed at the end of the audit visit on the findings made during the audit. 5. There will be occasions when the auditing surveyor may find situations in the applicant's organisation on which he/she is unsure about compliance. In this case, the organisation will be informed about possible non-compliance at the time of audit and the fact that the situation will be reviewed before a decision is made. The organisation will be informed of the decision within 2 weeks of the audit visit in writing if the decision is a confirmation of non-compliance. If the decision is a finding of being in compliance, a verbal confirmation to the organisation will suffice. 6. A change of name of the maintenance training organisation requires the organisation to submit a new application as a matter of urgency stating that only the name of the organisation has changed including a copy of the organisation exposition with the new name. Upon receipt of the application and the organisation exposition, the CAA will reissue the approval certificate valid only up to the current expiry date. 7. A name change alone does not require the CAA to audit the organisation, unless there is evidence that other aspects of the maintenance training organisation have changed. 8. A change of accountable manager requires the maintenance training organisation to submit such fact to the CAA as a matter of urgency together with the amendment to the accountable manager exposition statement. 9. A change of any of the senior personnel specified in 147.A.105(b) requires the maintenance training organisation to submit a Form 4 in respect of the particular person. If satisfied that the qualifications and experience meet the standard required by MCAR-147, the CAA will indicate acceptance in writing to the maintenance training organisation. 10. A change in the maintenance training organisation’s exposition requires the CAA to establish that the procedures specified in the exposition are in compliance with MCAR-147 and then to establish if these are the same procedures intended for use within the training facility. 11. Any change of location of the maintenance training organisation requires the organisation to make a new application to the CAA together with the submission of an amended exposition. The CAA will follow the procedure specified in 147.B.110(a) and (b) in so far as the change affects such procedure before issuing a new MCAR-147 approval certificate. 12. The complete or partial reorganisation of a training organisation will require the re-audit of those elements that have changed. 13. Any additional basic or aircraft type training courses requires the maintenance training organisation to make a new application to the CAA together with the submission of an amended exposition. For basic training extensions, an additional sample of new examination questions relevant to the modules associated with the extension being sought Issue: 4.00 48 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section B – Procedures for the CAA will be required to be submitted. The CAA will follow the procedure of paragraph 11 in so far as the change affects such procedures unless the CAA is satisfied that the maintenance training organisation has a well-controlled procedure to qualify such change when it is not necessary to conduct the audit elements of the paragraph 11 procedure. AMC 147.B.110(a) Procedure for approval and changes to the approval 1. The audit will be conducted on the basis of checking the facility for compliance, interviewing personnel and sampling any relevant training course for its conduct and standard. Issue: 4.00 49 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section B – Procedures for the CAA MCAR-147.B.120 Continued validity procedure (a) Each organisation will be completely audited for compliance with this Regulation at periods not exceeding 12 months. This shall include the monitoring of at least one training course and one examination performed by the maintenance training organisation. (b) Findings will be processed in accordance with point MCAR-147.B.130. (c) Notwithstanding (a) the oversight planning cycle may be extended up to 24 months if the CAA has established that during the previous 12 months: (1) the organisation has continuously demonstrated under point 147.A.150 that it has full control over all changes; (2) no level 1 findings have been issued; (3) all corrective actions have been implemented within the time period accepted or extended by the CAA as defined in point 147.B.130. AMC 147.B.120(a) Continued validity procedure 1. Audits will be conducted to ensure the continuity of the approval; it is not necessary to sample all basic and type training courses, but the CAA will sample, as appropriate, one basic and one type training course to establish that training is conducted in an appropriate manner. Nevertheless, the duration of the sampling for each course will not be less than 3 hours. Where no training course is being conducted during the audit, arrangements should be made to return at a later date to sample the conduct of a training course. 2. It is not necessary to sample all examinations associated with a training course but the CAA will sample, as appropriate, one basic and one type training course examination. Issue: 4.00 50 24 April 2025 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-147 – Training Organisation Requirements Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Section B – Procedures for the CAA MCAR-147.B.130 Findings Failure to complete the rectification of any level 1 finding within three days of written notification shall entail revocation, suspension or limitation by the CAA, of the maintenance training organisation approval in whole or in part. Action will be taken by the CAA to revoke, limit or suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure to comply within the time scale granted by the CAA in the case of a level 2 finding. AMC 147.B.130(b) Findings 1. In the case of a level 2 finding, the CAA may give up to six-month notice of the need for rectification. Dependent upon the seriousness of the level 2 finding(s) the CAA may choose a notice period less than six months. 2. When the CAA chooses to allow six months, the initial notification should be of three-month duration to the quality manager followed by the final three-month notice to the accountable manager.
