(b)   must ensure that an employee of the COA holder does not carry out Part 1 WHR maintenance except in accordance with a certification authorisation issued under this subsection.

8.2     A COA holder may issue a certification authorisation to an employed authority or type rating holder, or a WHR employee, in accordance with this subsection.

8.3     Before issuing a certification authorisation to a WHR employee, the COA holder must provide, and the WHR employee must successfully complete, training and assessment in Part 1 WHR maintenance in accordance with the COA holder’s quality control manual.

Note   This training and assessment is not required for an employed authority or type rating holder.

8.4     A certification authorisation may only be issued for a period of not more than 2 years.

8.5     A certification authorisation may be reissued for further periods of not more than 2 years each:

(a)   to an employed authority or type rating holder; and

8.6     Before providing the training and assessment mentioned in paragraph 8.3, or the reassessment of competency mentioned in subparagraph 8.5 (b), the COA holder must, in respect of the Part 1 WHR maintenance, be a CASA delegate for subregulation 42ZC (6) of CAR 1988 who may authorise a person for the purposes of paragraph 42ZC (4) (e).

Note   With training, assessment and certification authorisation, a WHR employee becomes a trained WHR employee. With reassessment of competency and certification authorisation, a trained WHR employee is permitted to continue as a trained WHR employee. Part 1 WHR maintenance may only be carried out by an employed authority or type rating holder or by a trained WHR employee to whom the COA holder has issued a certification authorisation.

8.8     The COA holder must retain in safe custody, for at least 2 years after the WHR employee has left his or her employment with the holder, a perfectly legible copy of any notice of completion mentioned in paragraph 8.7.

(a)   to an employed authority or type rating holder; and

(b)   to a trained WHR employee — for an aircraft mentioned in an item in column 1 of Part 1 of the table in Appendix 3 but only if the person holds a licence in the category mentioned in the corresponding item in column 2 of Part 1 of the table.

8.10     For this subsection, a certification authorisation issued for an aircraft mentioned in an item in column 1 of Part 1 of the table in Appendix 3 may be identified by reference to the suggested identification (if any) mentioned for the item in column 3 of Part 1 of the table.

8.11     For this subsection, a COA holder may carry out maintenance on an aircraft mentioned in an item in column 1 of Part 2 of the table in Appendix 3 only if the maintenance is carried out by:

(a)   an employed authority or type rating holder (whether or not the person holds a certification authorisation); or

(b)   a WHR employee (whether or not the person is a trained WHR employee, and whether or not the person holds a certification authorisation) — but only if the person holds a licence in the category mentioned in the corresponding item in column 2 of Part 2 of the table.

8.12     For this subsection, a COA holder may carry out maintenance on an unlisted WHR only if:

(a)   the maintenance is carried out as if the unlisted WHR were a WHR listed in Part 1 of the table in Appendix 3; and

(b)   each of the requirements under this subsection for Part 1 WHR maintenance (including for qualifications, training, assessment, reassessment, certificate authorisations, delegations, notices and records) applied to maintenance of the unlisted WHR.

8.13     For paragraph 8.12, a WHR with an airframe mentioned in column 1 of Part 2 of the table in Appendix 3 whose piston engine type has been modified to be a turbine engine type, is deemed to be an unlisted WHR.

9          Provisions not affected

9.1     Subsection 8 does not affect the operation of regulation 42G of CAR 1988.

Note   Regulation 42G of CAR 1988 concerns who may be qualified as an “appropriate person” to conduct the independent inspection required when an aircraft flight control system is assembled, adjusted, repaired, modified or replaced in the course of maintenance on the aircraft.

9.2     Subsection 8 does not affect the operation of paragraph 42ZC (4) (d) of CAR 1988.
