Part 119/136 Air Operator – HelicoptersMaintenance Requirements

CAA 119/136M of 27 Rev 2: 09/16

Part 119/136 Compliance Matrix (Maintenance Requirements)

The Rule references in this compliance matrix have been extracted from the Civil Aviation Rules system as the minimum maintenance compliance requirements foran applicant for the issue or renewal of a Part 119/136 Airline Air Operator Certificate.

A completed compliance matrix must be submitted by the applicant both for initial certification and for renewal. Additionally, the certificate holder should maintainan up-to-date compliance matrix to assist with on-going compliance and to support certificate amendment requests.

The purpose of the matrix is to speed up the certification process, ensure every applicable rule requirement has been addressed in the exposition and reduce thecost of certification by the quick location of required policies or procedures in the applicant’s exposition manual suite.

All rules have to be complied with, but not every rule has to be addressed in the exposition. At least the following Rules must be included unless they are notapplicable to the operation, in which case they should be annotated N/A. The intention of this matrix is to assist rather than instruct the applicant in an initialapplication or request for renewal. If for your operation, compliance is required with a rule not listed in the matrix, please add it to the list and identify theexposition reference.

This matrix needs to be completed by every applicant for a Part 119/136 Airline Air Operator Certificate and show the exposition pages and paragraph numbersthat satisfy the rules in the Manual References / Applicant’s Comments column. Where the applicant does not meet the rule requirement or deems it not applicable,an explanation should be given in this column. Please note ticks (ü) are not acceptable.

The completed matrix should accompany the exposition documents and preferably be included as a component of the exposition manual suite. The applicant maysubmit a completed matrix in a different format as long as it includes all the rule references identified below; however, there may be additional processing timerequired by the CASA in cross-referencing requirements.

General Manual Layout

Manual binder: Can the manual be amended easily? (Three- or four-ring binders are preferred: two-ring binders are not recommended as the pages are too easilytorn). If permanently bound, do you intend to re-issue at every amendment? This may inhibit frequency of needed amendments.

Electronic exposition: Is the matrix included as part of the file(s)/disc? If so, is it up to date? Have you considered the methods for distributing to the CASA andhow you will manage amendments?
