AMC Acceptable means of compliance

## AMC1 CAO.A.075 Continuing airworthiness management

(a) The CAO holding the CAO.A.095(b) privilege is in charge of the [continuing airworthiness](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/continuing-airworthiness) management and this includes the tasks specified respectively in M.A.301 points (b), (c), (f), (g) and (h), and ML.A.301 points (b), (c), (d) and (e).

(b) If the CAO does not hold the appropriate [maintenance](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/maintenance) privilege, then the CAO should conclude a contract with the appropriate maintenance [organisation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/organisation)(s) in agreement with the owner/operator.

(c) The CAO bears the responsibility for the airworthy condition of the [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/aircraft) for which it performs the continuing airworthiness management. Thus, it should be satisfied before the intended flight that all required maintenance has been properly carried out.

(d) The fact that the CAO has contracted a maintenance organisation should not prevent it from checking at the maintenance facilities on any aspect of the contracted work to fulfil its responsibility for the airworthiness of the aircraft.

(e) The contract between the CAO and the maintenance organisation(s) should specify in detail the responsibilities and the work to be performed by each party.
