What fees does a CAO organization have to pay based on the services it requests?

The fees to be paid would be according to the following table: TASAS (hyperlink). If the case is not contemplated, contact the CAO mailbox. (New!)  smga.aesa@seguridadaerea.es 

A summary table on the applicability of the payment of fees is included:

Is the issuance of a CRS erroneous at the time of deferring a defect following the MEL, according to M.A.403(b)?

Although it is not always mandatory when deferring a defect, a certifying technician must issue a CRS if a previous analysis has been required or a maintenance action has been carried out.

Is point 145.A.30(g) applicable to a maintenance EAC organisation in the same terms, i.e. the figure of the certifier trained for specific tasks in EAC organisations?

EASA Response "The original intent of the task-trained certification staff was to provide relief to certification personnel requirements for maintenance organizations that have multiple line maintenance stations away from the main base. 

This scenario was particularly adapted to Part-145, which is the type of organisation required for authorised air carriers (and CMPAs), which normally use such line stations. This is why points 66.A.20(a)(1) and 66.A.20(a)(3)(ii) (for task-trained CS) only refer to Part 145. 

And, accordingly, this means that the CAO Party cannot propose qualified certification personnel for such a task.  

However, it should be noted that for general aviation other exemptions are allowed, such as B2L, B3 and L licences.

Is an FAA Form8130-3 with block 11 “Rebuilt” permissible for motor components, among other magnets?

No, as set out in the EASA-FAA bilateral agreement, only FAA Form8130-3 Rebuilt for engine are acceptable, as set out in point 10.11.1.6 “Engines rebuilt by the PAH can be accepted as specified in the TIP associated with Annex 1 of the Agreement.

“Rebuilt Engine” means an engine that has been disassembled, cleaned, inspected, repaired as necessary, reassembled, and tested to the same tolerances and limits as a new item by the production approval holder in 
accordance with 14 CFR part 43.

Does the scope reflected in the manual (CAE) of a combined airworthiness organisation that has an approval with one or more generic scopes have to be specific or can it be generic?

In any case, the organization's report (CAE) should always reflect the real scope of the organization and the work it performs; no aircraft may be added that are not being managed/maintained even though they fall under the category of their approval. (New!)

Is it necessary to apply for EASA approval for any changes to airworthiness review personnel, in accordance with CAO.A.045(b)?

EASA reply: “Yes, control and approval by the competent authority is necessary.”

Are Generic Maintenance Programmes necessary for Part-ML aircraft managed by an CAO?

EASA reply: “Generic maintenance programmes are not required for Part-ML aircraft”
