GM1 ML.A.502 Component maintenance
ED Decision 2020/002/R
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFYING STAFF
The cases where the independent certifying staff can release component maintenance are only valid when the independent certifying staff is allowed, according to ML.A.201, to carry out maintenance (refer to GM1 ML.A.201) and when he or she is competent for such component maintenance.
As an example, in accordance with ML.A.201(e), the independent certifying staff cannot carry out maintenance when the balloon is operated under Subpart-ADD.
