AMC Acceptable means of compliance

## AMC1 CAMO.A.300 Continuing airworthiness management exposition (CAME)

This AMC provides an outline of the layout of an acceptable CAME. Where an [organisation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/organisation) uses a different format, for example, to allow the exposition to serve for more than one approval within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, then the exposition should contain a cross-reference Annex using this list as an index with an explanation as to where the subject matter can be found in the exposition.

The information required by CAMO.A.300 should be provided, directly or by reference, in the CAME.

ACCOUNTABLE MANAGER STATEMENT

1\. Part 0 ‘General [organisation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/organisation), safety policy and objectives’ of the CAME should include a statement, signed by the accountable manager (and countersigned by the chief executive officer, if different), confirming that the CAME and any associated manuals will be complied with at all times.

2\. The accountable manager’s exposition statement as specified in point CAMO.A.300(a)(1) should embrace the intent of the following paragraph, and in fact, this statement may be used without amendment. Any amendment to the statement should not alter its intent:

‘This exposition and any associated referenced manuals define the organisation and procedures upon which the competent authority’s\* CAMO approval is based.

These procedures are endorsed by the undersigned and must be complied with, as applicable, in order to ensure that all [continuing airworthiness](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/continuing-airworthiness) activities, including [maintenance](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/maintenance) of the [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) managed, are carried out on time to an approved standard.

These procedures do not override the necessity of complying with any new or amended regulation published from time to time where these new or amended regulations are in conflict with these procedures.

It is understood that the approval of the organisation is based on the continuous compliance of the organisation with Part-CAMO, Part-M and Part-ML, as applicable, and with the organisation’s procedures described in this exposition. The competent authority\* is entitled to limit, suspend, or revoke the approval certificate if the organisation fails to fulfil the obligations imposed by Part-CAMO, Part-M and Part-ML, as applicable, or any conditions according to which the approval was issued.

For organisations also approved as air carriers licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008¹, suspension or revocation of the CAMO certificate will invalidate the air operator certificate (AOC) of such air carriers.

\*Where ‘competent authority’ is stated, please insert the actual name of the competent authority delivering the CAMO approval certificate or the air operator certificate.
