EASA Part-M — Continuing Airworthiness Requirements

Section 01: Organizations & Authorities

Definition

The EASA Implementing Rule (Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, Annex I) establishing the requirements for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft, including the approval of continuing airworthiness management organisations (CAMO). Part-M covers airworthiness reviews, maintenance programme approval, defect reporting, and the overall framework for keeping aircraft airworthy throughout their operational life.

Where This Shows Up

Part-M has been partially replaced by Part-ML for light aircraft (ELA1 and ELA2 categories), providing a simplified continuing airworthiness framework for general aviation.
