For ODAs

Designation Authority and Continuing Compliance

An ODA is a license to act on the FAA's behalf. The price of admission is a Procedures Manual the FAA accepts; the cost of staying admitted is a continuous demonstration that you actually follow it. CIQ gives ODA holders the workspace to do both without drowning in paper.

Setting up an ODA — or expanding one to new authorities — requires a Procedures Manual that maps every authorized function to a defined process, qualified personnel, and an audit trail. CIQ provides the structure for the manual, the project execution it governs, and the evidence that ties them together.
