A. 125 Records The organization shall keep all student training, examination and assessment records for an unlimited period. 147. A.130 Training procedures and quality system a) The organization shall establish procedures acceptable to the DGCA to ensure proper training standards and compliance with all relevant requirements in this CAR. b) The organization shall establish a quality system including: 1. an independent audit function to monitor training standards, the integrity of knowledge examinations and practical assessments, compliance with and adequacy of the procedures, 2. a feedback system of audit findings to the person(s) and ultimately to the accountable manager referred to in 147.A.105(a) to ensure, as necessary, corrective action. AMC 147.A.130 (b) Training procedures and quality system 1. The independent audit procedure should ensure that all aspects of CAR-147 compliance should be checked at least once in every 12 months and may be carried out as one complete single exercise or subdivided over a 12-month period in accordance with a scheduled plan. 2. In a small maintenance training organisation the independent audit function may be contracted to another maintenance training organization approved under CAR-147 or a competent person acceptable to the DGCA. Where the small training orgainsation chooses to contract the audit function, it is conditional on the audit being carried out twice in every 12- month period with one such audit being unannounced. 3. Where the maintenance training organisation is also approved to another Part requiring a quality system, then such quality systems may be combined. 4. When training or examination is carried out under the sub-contract control system: I. a pre audit procedure should be established whereby the CAR 147 approved basic ………..2017 15CAR 147 (Basic) training organisation’ should audit a prospective sub-contractor to determine whether the services of the sub-contractor meet the intent of CAR 147. II. a renewal audit of the subcontractor should be performed at least once every 12 months to ensure continuous compliance with the CAR 147 standard. III. the sub-contract control procedure should record audits of the subcontractor and to have a corrective action follow-up plan. 5. The independence of audit system should be established by always ensuring that audits are carried out by personnel not responsible for the function or procedure being checked. GM to 147.A.130 (b) Training Procedures and Quality System 1. The primary objective of the quality system is to enable the training organization to satisfy itself that it can deliver properly trained students and that the organization remains in compliance with CAR 147. 2. The independent audit is a process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the training organization’s ability to carry out all training and examinations to the required standards. It represents an overview of the complete training system and does not replace the need for instructors to ensure that they carry out training to the required standard. 3. A report should be raised each time an audit is carried out describing what was checked and any resulting findings. The report should be sent to the affected department(s) for rectification action giving target rectification dates. Possible rectification dates may be discussed with the affected department(s) before the quality department confirms such dates on the report. The affected department(s) should rectify any findings and inform the quality department of such rectification. 4. A large training organization (an organization with the capacity to provide training for 50 students or more)]should have a dedicated quality audit group whose sole function is to conduct audits, raise finding reports and follow up to ensure that findings are being rectified. For the small training organisation (an organisation with the capacity to provide training for less than 50 students) it is acceptable to use competent personnel from one section/department not responsible for the function or procedure to check the section/department that is responsible subject to the overall planning and implementation being under the control of the quality manager. 5. The management control and follow up system should not be contracted to outside persons. The principal function is to ensure that all findings resulting from the independent audit are corrected in a timely manner and to enable the Accountable manager to remain properly informed of the state of compliance. Apart from rectification of findings the Accountable manager should hold routine meetings to check progress on rectification except that in the large training organization such meetings may be delegated on a day to day basis to the quality manager as long as the accountable manager meets at least once per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance. ………..2017 16CAR 147 (Basic) 147. A.135 Examinations (a) The examination staff shall ensure the security of all questions. (b) Any student found during a knowledge examination to be cheating or in possession of material pertaining to the examination subject other than examination papers and associated authorized documentation shall be disqualified from taking the examination and may not take any examination for at least 12 months after the date of the incident. The DGCA shall be informed of any such incident together with the details of any enquiry within one calendar month. (c) Any examiner found during a knowledge examination to be providing question answers to any student being examined shall be disqualified from acting as an examiner and the examination declared void. The DGCA must be informed of any such occurrence within one calendar month. AMC 147.A.135 Examinations 1. Examinations may be computer or hard copy based or a combination of both. 2. The actual questions to be used in a particular examination should be determined by the Examiners.

AMC CAR 147.A.145 (d) Privileges of the basic maintenance training Organization: Reserved GM 147.A.145 (d) Privileges of the maintenance training organisation 1. The pre audit procedure should focus on establishing compliance with the training and examination standards set out in CAR-147 and CAR-66. 2. The fundamental reason for allowing a maintenance training organisation approved under CAR-147 to sub-contract certain basic theoretical training courses is to permit the approval of maintenance training organisations, which may not have the capacity to conduct training courses on all Part-66 modules. 3. The reason for allowing the subcontracting of training modules 1 to 6 and 8 to 10 only is, most of the related subjects can generally also be taught by training organisations not specialised in aircraft maintenance and the practical training element as specified in 147.A.200 does not apply to them. On the contrary, training modules 7 and 11 to 17 are specific to aircraft maintenance and include the practical training element as specified in 147.A.200. The intent of the ‘limited subcontracting’ option as specified in 147.A.145 is to grant Part-147 approvals only to those organisations having themselves at least the capacity to teach on aircraft maintenance specific matters.
