FAQs

The main objective is to assess and ensure compliance with EASA Part-M regulations regarding the maintenance, storage, and management of aircraft technical records and documentation throughout the aircraft's operational life.

This checklist should be used by technical records personnel, quality assurance managers, CAMO staff, and aviation auditors responsible for overseeing aircraft documentation and record-keeping processes.

Audits of aircraft records and documentation should be conducted at least annually, or more frequently for high-utilization aircraft or when significant maintenance events occur.

The checklist covers areas such as aircraft technical logs, maintenance records, airworthiness directives compliance, component life tracking, modification records, and electronic record-keeping systems.

Accurate and complete aircraft records ensure full traceability of maintenance activities, component life cycles, and modifications, which is crucial for making informed decisions about aircraft airworthiness and safety.
