Successfully Applying Defence CAMO Regulations in the UK DAE

TR55 | 2 days

The MAA’s 4900 series of Regulatory Articles specify the regulations for the continuing airworthiness management of military aircraft operated within the UK Defence Aviation Environment. The Regulatory Articles define the concept of a Mil Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO), which has its origins in the civil EASA model. It introduces new accountabilities and responsibilities and a fundamental shift in how you ensure your military aircraft remain reliable, available, and safe. By examining the regulatory articles and understanding their intent, this course aims to help you consider its intelligent application for your particular operation.

FAQ's

Is this course suitable for a small to medium size organisation?

Yes; we look at the intent of the requirements and allow you to explore how to best apply the principles to the size of your organisation.

I am totally new to Mil CAMO role; will this course give me all I need?

Not everything as there will always be specific requirements defined by your organisation. However, it will help you gain clarity of your new role, enable you to avoid common issues we see others experience and help you to identify what else you need.

I am not directly in a continuing airworthiness role, but I am a decision maker in the business. Will I gain anything from this course?

Yes definitely; understanding your role and how it affects safety is crucial for any decision maker. This course will highlight how safety is an organisational obligation and not just down to a few individuals.

Is the course suitable if I work in industry but we manage the continuing airworthiness of UK Military Air Systems?

Yes. We will assist you in understanding the approach defined by the UK MAA for UK Military Air Systems.

I am employed as an auditor and will be required to audit our Mil CAMO so will this course help me understand the intent of the UK approach and if there are differences between the commercial CAMO regulations

Yes - the course obviously focuses on how the UK MAA has defined their approach. However, it will also discuss some of the fundamental differences that exist in comparison to the commercial CAMO approach and the EMAR CAMO requirements.
