The person or organisation responsible for continuing airworthiness of the aircraft, as defined in M.A.201(a)/ML.A.201(a), shall provide assistance to the inspector(s) in charge of accessing the aircraft and associated documentation, including maintenance records. Therefore, it shall ensure that the selected aircraft is presented clean and that adequate maintenance personnel support for the ACAM inspection is provided to the ENAC inspector/team.

The owner/operator must ensure that:

a) the appropriate information to ENAC to identify, based on the operational-maintenance planning of the aircraft forming part of the annual ACAM sample, date, place and type of inspection to be carried out;

b) The aircraft is made available to ENAC for the execution of the specific type of ACAM Inspection identified therein at the agreed place and date;

c) the appropriate resources are put in place and made available to allow, within the prescribed time limits, the identification of the final cases relating to the findings that emerged during the request for ACAM Inspection;

d) in relation to the above, appropriate corrective/preventive and proactive actions are identified and implemented within the time limit set to avoid the recurrence of the evidence highlighted.

Because the conduct of ACAM inspections may require the use of technical documentation and/or the carrying out of operations and inspections that may require the performance of maintenance activities with the consequent need for a CRS release, the owner/operator will ensure that a level of support to ENAC is provided comparable to that envisaged M.A.901 (j). By virtue of the above, where the verification activities carried out on the aircraft selected within the programme are deemed to be linked to the requirements and intents of paragraph M.B.704(c) of paragraph M.B.704(c) for the continuous oversight of the CAMO undertakings that manage the continuing airworthiness of those aircraft. However, it should be pointed out that, apart from the obligations deriving from the regulatory requirements mentioned above, adequate support to ENAC’s activities for the efficient and effective implementation of the ACAM programme contributes to ensuring that all actors in the aviation sector can operate in an “industrial” context in which the reference legislation is implemented consistently in all the sectors involved ▼ The above and especially to operators in the private sports-recreation sector engaged in first-person management of the continuing airworthiness of their aircraft, as it addresses a high level of safety that is proportionate to the complexity and non-finality of the above-mentioned evidence, also capable of responding to the risk.
