    2. (ii)

      refuse to approve the system.

(3) In deciding whether a system of maintenance adequately provides for the continued airworthiness of an aircraft, CASA or the authorised person must have regard to:

  1. (a)

    if the system of maintenance relates to a class A aircraft—the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and any inspection programs or documents issued by the manufacturer; and

  2. (b)

    if the system of maintenance relates to a class B aircraft—the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and the CASA maintenance schedule.

    to modify the system of maintenance;

CASA or the authorised person must include in the notice required by subregulation (4) a statement of the reasons for that decision.

42NWhen approval is effective

(1) If CASA or an authorised person approves a system of maintenance, the approval has effect from when notice of the approval is given to the holder of the certificate of registration for the aircraft concerned.

(2) An approval of a system of maintenance approved because of a request under regulation 42J stops being in force if:

  1. (a)

    CASA revokes the approval by written notice given to the holder of the certificate of registration for the aircraft concerned; or

  2. (b)

    the holder of the certificate of registration for the aircraft concerned gives CASA or an authorised person written notice that the holder no longer wants the approved system to apply to the aircraft.

(3) An approval of a system of maintenance submitted because of a direction of a kind referred to in regulation 42K stops being in force if CASA revokes the approval by written notice given to the holder of the certificate of registration for the aircraft concerned.

      adequately provide for the continued airworthiness of the aircraft;

CASA or the authorised person must approve the change.

  1. (a)

    if CASA is satisfied:

    1. (i)

      if the direction was for a specified change to be made—the change has been made; and

    2. (ii)

      if the direction was for a change to correct a specified deficiency in the system—the deficiency would be corrected by the change; and
