AMOREA............SI 145

Coordinate and Schedule an Inspection. Coordination is required between the DAAO Inspector(s) and the applicant to ensure that the appropriate management personnel are available during the inspection. Procedures on how to inspect the AMO refer to SI 8900-6.9.

 A.
Manuals. During the inspection phase, the team should verify that the facility follows its AMO and QCM. NOTE: When AMO manual is located in the work area and is in the national language, the DAAO inspector(s) must be provided with a supervisor or other person who can read the national language version to the team so it can confirm that this version has the same information as the English language version.
 This same process applies when the DAAO requests review of maintenance records, technical documents, and other material that is part of the certification. (The use of the national language is an option provided to AMOs located outside the Republic of Indonesia. If an AMO elects to use the national language, it must provide a method for the DAAO to confirm the material is accurate.)

B. Statement of Compliance. The DAAO inspector(s) should use the AMO statement of compliance to confirm that the facility meets all the requirements of the regulations. SI 8900-2.13 Edition 1 September 2017 13
C. Line Stations. On an initial AMO certification only, the DAAO should visit each location for which the applicant requests a line station authorization. The authorization may not be issued for a location outside the boundaries of the country where the AMO is located. (ii) Perform a Housing and Facility Inspection. Inspect the AMO facilities to ensure that the work being done is protected from weather elements, dust, and heat. Ensure that workers are protected to the point that the quality of their work will be unimpaired. (For additional guidance on facilities inspection, refer to SI 8900-6.9, Chapter.V). (iii) Evaluate Maintenance Organization. Ensure the following: A. A sufficient number of personnel are available to satisfy the volume and type of work to be performed, as required by part 145 subpart D. Also ensure that: • An employee is designated as the accountable manager. • Qualified personnel are provided to plan, supervise, audit, perform, and approve for return to service the work for which the facility is rated. • The facility has a sufficient number of employees with the training or knowledge and experience to accomplish the work being performed. - Interview a sampling of supervisors and inspection personnel to ensure that they are able to read, write, and understand the English language. - During the interview, review and ask the supervisors and inspectors questions regarding their knowledge and experience level with the intended operation. (A recommended source for questions is the AMO manual and/or the employees’ employment summaries.) - Request to see any NAA maintenance certification the supervisors and inspectors may have been issued by the NAA. - If qualifications remain in question for any individual, bring the concern to the attention of the AMO management and request that they reexamine the employee to confirm his or her qualifications.
