and, when approved, JAR-Maintenance

JAR-OPS and JAR-145 are linked by the requirement for a JAR-OPS organisation being required to maintain its aircraft using a JAR-145 approved company

Similarly, for a company to issue engineers licences or approvals under JAR-66, that company needs to be JAR 147 approved

JAR OPSJAR OPS

JAR-OPS 1, prescribes the operation of any civil aircraft in the CAT category by an operator whose principal place of business is within a JAA member state.

It does not apply to military, customs or police aircraft.

engineering

“an operator shall not operate an aeroplane for the purpose of commercial air transportation other than in accordance with JAR-OPS Part 1JAR-OPS Part 1”.

The relationship to JAR-145 can be found at paragraph 1.875 of sub-part M to JAR-OPS 1. Here it clearly states that an operator cannot operate an aircraft unless it is maintained and released to service by an organisation approved or organisation approved or accepted in accordance with JAR 145accepted in accordance with JAR 145
