Airworthiness review
Bombardier Global 7500 airworthiness-review evidence records review
This review checks that the airworthiness-review evidence behind a Bombardier Global 7500 stands up: the review certificate, the CAMO records that supported it, the open findings still outstanding, and the continued-airworthiness status the certificate was issued against. It is run by or for a party evaluating or taking over the aircraft, often at a management-provider change or ahead of a sale. It confirms that the certificate rests on recommendation evidence that reconciles to the underlying file. You receive an exception list of unsupported or stale review items, a source map to the CAMO records, and a plan to close the open findings for the tail.
When this review is needed
- A management-provider change means the CAMO that supported the last review no longer holds the file.
- A buyer wants confirmation that the current review certificate is backed by evidence that still reconciles.
- Findings from the last review remain open and their closure status has not been confirmed.
- The continued-airworthiness status behind the certificate needs to be checked against the source records.
The problem
An airworthiness review certificate is a snapshot: it says the file supported the aircraft's continued airworthiness on the day it was signed. Between reviews the status keeps moving, the CAMO that produced the recommendation may hand the aircraft on, and open findings can quietly outlive the review that raised them. A party relying on the certificate alone inherits its date, not its current truth, and on a Global 7500 changing hands early in life those handovers come fast.
What gets reviewed
- The current review certificate and the recommendation report behind it
- CAMO records supporting the continued-airworthiness status at the review date
- Open findings from the last review and their closure status
- Continued-airworthiness status reconciled from the certificate back to source records
- Continuity of the review history across any management-provider change
- AD and life-limited status as presented to the last review versus the file today
Scope this review
Tell us the asset, the event, and the evidence in scope, and we will outline a focused first engagement.
Send a representative, redacted record set and we will scope the review.
What gets validated
- The review certificate is supported by a recommendation report that names the evidence relied on
- Every finding raised at the last review is either closed with evidence or explicitly still open
- Continued-airworthiness status in the certificate reconciles to the current source records
- The CAMO records that backed the review are available and internally consistent
- The review history is continuous across any change of management provider
Evidence normally required
- The current airworthiness review certificate and recommendation report
- CAMO records covering the review period
- The open-finding log from the last review
- Current AD, SB, and LLP status reports
- Continued-airworthiness status summaries for the tail
Common discrepancies
- A review finding recorded as raised but with no closure evidence on file
- Continued-airworthiness status in the certificate that no longer matches the source records
- A gap in the review history across a management-provider change
- A recommendation report that references CAMO records the current file does not contain
What is at stake
If the certificate rests on findings that were never closed, or on status that has since drifted from the source records, its assurance is thinner than it looks. A CAMO transition that loses the recommendation evidence leaves the next review with no baseline to build on, which forces a heavier reconstruction than the certificate implied and can delay the next renewal.

How the work runs
Anchor the certificate
Pull the current review certificate and the recommendation report that supports it.
Reconcile the status
Trace the continued-airworthiness status in the certificate back to the source records.
Resolve the findings
Confirm which review findings are closed with evidence and which remain open.
Set the next baseline
Assemble a closure plan and a clean baseline for the incoming CAMO and the next review.
What the buyer receives
- An exception list of unsupported, stale, or unclosed review items ranked by significance
- A source map linking the certificate to the CAMO records and status behind it
- A closure plan for the open findings the next review will otherwise inherit
Who uses the output
- Asset managers confirming the certificate they are relying on still reflects the file
- CAMO leads taking over a tail and needing a baseline for the next review
- Records teams closing findings before the next renewal comes due
How the work fits into the transaction or program
This review connects the airworthiness review certificate to the continued-airworthiness file it summarizes, so the party taking on the aircraft knows whether the certificate is backed or merely dated. Its closure plan sets up the next review and hands the incoming CAMO a baseline instead of an unverified snapshot.
Aircraft-specific considerations
The Global 7500 often sits under a management provider that runs the CAMO function, so a change of provider is the moment when review continuity is most at risk. The type's cabin and avionics standard also means status presented to a review has to be tied to the exact configuration, since a finding or an AD can apply to one software baseline and not another.
Jurisdiction-specific considerations
The airworthiness review is an EASA continuing-airworthiness construct, so on an FAA-registered Global 7500 the equivalent assurance comes from a different recordkeeping path. The review notes where a certificate issued under one system will not carry to the other and what the receiving side would expect instead.
Regulatory limits
The review checks that the certificate reconciles to its supporting evidence. It does not issue or extend an airworthiness review certificate, act as the CAMO, or make an airworthiness determination on the aircraft.
What this review does not cover
- Issuing, renewing, or recommending an airworthiness review certificate
- Performing the CAMO function for the aircraft
- Physical survey or inspection tied to a review finding
Specific to this review
- A review certificate certifies a date, so its value depends on how far the status has moved since it was signed.
- Open findings can outlive the review that raised them, which is why closure status is checked item by item rather than assumed from the certificate.
- A management-provider change is the most common break in review continuity, because the recommendation evidence can stay with the outgoing CAMO.

Frequently asked questions
If the review certificate is current, why check the records behind it?
The certificate confirms the file supported continued airworthiness on the review date. Status moves afterward, findings can stay open, and a change of management provider can break the evidence trail. Checking the records behind the certificate tells you whether it still reflects the aircraft or only marks a point in the past.
