Introductory Words
Dear Reader.
It has taken a while to update this consolidated version of Part-147. But now, I am able to provide you the version which also
includes the latest change to the AMC&GM.
I really want to apologise for this delay but time rushes. The year became more hectic as foreseeable in the beginning.
Once again, thank you very much for all of you who did submit feedbacks. Regardless whether these are compliments,
inquiries or comments for corrections, you can be sure that I take all your comments serious and try to answer all your
questions.
Sitting in an aircraft or in a train or at a hotel bar is always a good opportunity to work on a consolidated version. At the
moment I am too tired to concentrate on establishing an audit report. But, it's a good time for updating this consolidated
version.
Towards the end of last year EASA was busy to issue a complete new version of the AMC&GM material. I already
incorporated this material into my Part-145 consolidated version but I did not incorporate it into my other consolidated
versions.
Here you find now the Part-147 consolidated version including all the latest amendments.
As usual, you are kindly invited to inform me of any error you may identify while using this consolidated version.
In addition I want to inform you that we, at Q.C.M., ensure that all our trainings include the latest amendments. We even
have developed special courses regarding the latest changes.
You find the list and description of all courses on our homepage under http://www.qcm.ch/en/training/.
All my colleagues and myself are looking forward to welcome you at our campus (http://www.qcm.ch/en/qcm-campus/)
during one of our courses.
On request, we are more than happy to deliver training at your facility or location. All our trainers, as well as myself, are
willing to travel to your place to make you familiar with the current regulations.

The organisation shall keep all student training, examination and assessment records for an unlimited period.
147.A.130 Training procedures and quality system

147.A.130(a)
The organisation shall establish procedures acceptable to the competent authority to ensure proper training standards and
compliance with all relevant requirements in this Part.
147.A.130(b)
AMC 147.A.130(b)
The organisation shall establish a quality system including: 1. The independent audit procedure should ensure that all
aspects of Part-147 compliance should be checked at
1. an independent audit function to monitor training
least once in every 12 months and may be carried out as
standards, the integrity of knowledge examinations

corrective action. 147 or a competent person acceptable to the competent
authority. 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 to another Part 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 Part 147 approved maintenance
training organisation should audit a prospective
sub-contractor to determine whether the services
of the sub-contractor meet the intent of Part 147.
(ii) a renewal audit of the subcontractor should be
performed at least once every 12 months to
ensure continuous compliance with the Part-147
standard.
(iii) the sub-contract control procedure should record
audits of the sub-contractor 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.
December 2015]
GM 147.A.30(b)
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 Part-147.
2. The independent audit is a process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the training organisations 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.
147.A.135 Examinations
147.A.135(a)
The examination staff shall ensure the security of all questions.
147.A.135(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 competent authority shall be informed of any such incident together with the details of any enquiry within one calendar
month.
147.A.135(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 competent authority must be informed of
any such occurrence within one calendar month.
AMC 147.A.135
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
The competent authority will determine when or if the disqualified examiner may be reinstated.
147.A.140 Maintenance training organisation exposition

147.A.140(a)
The organisation shall provide an exposition for use by the organisation describing the organisation and its procedures and
containing the following information:
1. a statement signed by the accountable manager confirming that the maintenance training organisation exposition and
any associated manuals define the maintenance training organisation's compliance with this Part and shall be complied

with at all times.

2. the title(s) and name(s) of the person(s) nominated in accordance with point 147.A.105(b).
3. the duties and responsibilities of the person(s) specified in point 2, including matters on which they may deal directly
with the competent authority on behalf of the maintenance training organisation.
4. a maintenance training organisation chart showing associated chains of responsibility of the person(s) specified in point
(a)(2).
5. a list of the training instructors, knowledge examiners and practical assessors.
6. a general description of the training and examination facilities located at each address specified in the maintenance
training organisation's approval certificate, and if appropriate any other location, as required by point 147.A.145(b).
7. a list of the maintenance training courses which form the extent of the approval.
8. the maintenance training organisation's exposition amendment procedure.
9. the maintenance training organisation's procedures, as required by point 147.A.130(a).
10. the maintenance training organisation's control procedure, as required by 147.A.145(c), when authorised to conduct
training, examination and assessments in locations different from those specified in point 147.A.145(b).
11. a list of the locations pursuant to point 147.A.145(b).
12. a list of organisations, if appropriate, as specified in point 147.A.145(d).
147.A.140(b)
The maintenance training organisation's exposition and any subsequent amendments shall be approved by the competent
authority.
147.A.140(c)
Notwithstanding point (b) minor amendments to the exposition may be approved through an exposition procedure
(hereinafter called indirect approval).
AMC 147.A.140
1. A recommended format of the exposition is included in Appendix 1.

2. When the maintenance training organisation is approved in accordance with any other Part which also requires an
exposition, the exposition required by the other Part 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 Appendix I.
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 Appendix 1 item
2.18 plus a list of sub-contractors as required by 147.A.140(a)12 and detailed in Appendix I item 1.7.
4. The competent authority may approve a delegated exposition approval system for all changes other than those
affecting the approval.

147.A.145 Privileges of the maintenance training organisation

147.A.145(a)
The maintenance training organisation may carry out the following as permitted by and in accordance with the maintenance
training organisation exposition:
1. basic training courses to the Annex III (Part-66) syllabus, or part thereof.
2. aircraft type/task training courses in accordance with Annex III (Part-66).
3. the examinations on behalf of the competent authority, including the examination of students who did not attend the
basic or aircraft type training course at the maintenance training organisation.
4. 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)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3), as applicable.
147.A.145(b)
Training, knowledge examinations and practical assessments may only be carried out at the locations identified in the
approval certificate and/or at any location specified in the maintenance training organisation exposition.
147.A.145(c)
By derogation to point (b), the maintenance training organisation may only conduct training, knowledge examinations and

2. The maintenance training organisation approved under
[Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 of 26 November 2014] Part-147 is not required to have complete facilities and
personnel for training that it needs to sub-contract but it
should have its own expertise to determine that the sub-
contractor meets the Part-147 standards. Particular
attention should be given to ensuring that the training
that is delivered also meets the requirements of Part-66

and the aircraft technologies are appropriate.

3. The contract between the maintenance training
organisation approved under Part-147 and the sub-
contractor should contain:
a provision for the Agency and the competent
authority to have right of access to the sub-
contractor;
a provision for the sub-contractor to inform the
Part-147 approved maintenance training
organisation of any change that may affect its Part-
147 approval, before any such change takes place.
December 2015]
GM 147.A.145(d)
1. The pre audit procedure should focus on establishing compliance with the training and examination standards set out in
Part-147 and Part-66.
2. The fundamental reason for allowing a maintenance training organisation approved under Part-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 Part-66 modules.
3. The reason for allowing the subcontracting of training modules 1 to 6 and 8 to 10 only is, 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 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 Part-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
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 avionics 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
Part-147 organisation itself).
147.A.145(e)
An organisation may not be approved to conduct examinations unless approved to conduct the corresponding training.

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 license.
This organisation should justify how they run type
examinations for single piston-engine helicopters in the case of
a B1.4 licence.

147.B.110(b)
AMC 147.B.110(b)
All findings identified shall be recorded and confirmed in The date each finding was rectified should be recorded
writing to the applicant. together with the reference document.
December 2015]
147.B.110(c)
All findings shall be closed in accordance with point 147.B.130 before the approval is issued.
147.B.110(d)
The reference number shall be included on the approval certificate in a manner specified by the Agency.
GM 147.B.110
1. A meeting should be arranged between the applicant and the Member State who issue Part-147 approvals to determine
if the applicant's training activities justify the investigation for issue of Part-147 approval and to ensure that the
applicant understands what needs to be done for Part-147 approval. This meeting is not intended to establish
compliance but rather to see if the activity is a Part-147 activity.
2. Assuming that the applicant's activities come within the scope of Part-147 approval, instructions should be sent to the
competent authority staff requesting that an audit of the applicant be carried out and when satisfied that compliance
has been established, a recommendation for the issue of approval should be submitted to the competent authority staff
who grant approval unless these are the same staff. The competent authority should 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 Part-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 should be carried
out by the competent authority 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 should ensure that they are always accompanied throughout the audit by a senior member of the
organisation making application for Part-147 approval. Normally this should be the proposed quality manager. The
reason for being accompanied 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 should 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 should 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 should 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 competent authority
should reissue the approval certificate valid only up to the current expiry date.
7. A name change alone does not require the competent authority 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 competent
authority 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 Part-147, the competent authority should indicate acceptance in writing to the maintenance training
organisation.
10. A change in the maintenance training organisations exposition requires the competent authority to establish that the
procedures specified in the exposition are in compliance with Part-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 competent authority together with the submission of an amended exposition. The competent authority should
follow the procedure specified in 147.B.110(a) and (b) in so far as the change affects such procedure before issuing a
new Part-147 approval certificate.
12. The complete or partial reorganisation of a training organisation should 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 competent authority 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 will be required to be submitted. The competent authority should follow the procedure of paragraph 11 in
so far as the change affects such procedures unless the competent authority 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.

147.B.120 Continued validity procedure

147.B.120(a)
AMC 147.B.120(a)
