         of 25 February 2020
         amending Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 as regards transitional measures for organisations involved in the continuing airworthiness for general aviation and continuing airworthiness management and correcting that Regulation
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 17(1) and Article 62(14) and (15) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383 (2) has introduced more flexible requirements for maintenance of light aircraft established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (3). It has also added safety risk management measures for organisations that manage the continuing airworthiness of aircraft operated by holders of an air operator certificate.

                     (2)

                     In order to move toward full compliance with the new rules and procedures it introduced, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383 provided for transitional measures for organisations involved in the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and components. In order to clarify the oversight requirements of those organisations, the transitional measures should be amended.

                     (3)

                     Some missing or wrong references between Annexes to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383 should also be corrected.

                     (4)

                     As the intention of the Commission is not to extend further the transition period, application date of this amendment should be aligned with the one laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383.

                     (5)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 127(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139,

                                                         [COMPANY NAME AND ADDRESS]

                                                      as a continuing airworthiness management organisation in compliance with Section A, Subpart G of Annex I (Part-M) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, approved to manage the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft listed in the attached terms of approval and, when stipulated, to issue recommendations and airworthiness review certificates after an airworthiness review as specified in point M.A.901 of Annex I (Part-M) or ML.A.901 of Annex Vb (Part-ML), and, when stipulated, to issue permits to fly as specified in point M.A.711(c) of Annex I (Part-M) to that Regulation.
                                                      CONDITIONS

                                                                  1.

                                                                  This certificate is limited to that specified in the scope of work section of the approved continuing airworthiness management exposition as referred to in Section A, Subpart G of Annex I (Part-M) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014.

                                                                  2.

                                                                  This certificate requires compliance with the procedures specified in the continuing airworthiness management exposition approved in accordance with Subpart G of Annex I (Part-M) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014.

                                                                  3.

                                                                  This certificate is valid whilst the approved continuing airworthiness management organisation remains in compliance with Annex I (Part-M) and, if applicable, Annex Vb (Part-ML) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014.

                                                                  4.

                                                                  5.

                                                                  Subject to compliance with the conditions 1 to 4 above, this certificate shall remain valid until 24 September 2021, unless the certificate has previously been surrendered, superseded, suspended or revoked.
                                                                  If this form is also used for licenced air carriers in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) number shall be added to the reference, in addition to the standard number, and the condition 5 shall be replaced by the following extra conditions 6, 7 and 8:

                                                                  6.

                                                                  This certificate does not constitute an authorisation to operate the types of aircraft referred in condition 1. The authorisation to operate the aircraft is the AOC.

                                                                  7.

                                                                  Termination, suspension or revocation of the AOC automatically invalidates this certificate in relation to the aircraft registrations specified in the AOC, unless otherwise explicitly stated by the competent authority.

                                                                  8.

                                                                  Subject to compliance with conditions 1 to 4, 6 and 7, this certificate shall remain valid until 24 September 2021, unless the certificate has previously been surrendered, superseded, suspended or revoked.
