The independent audit procedure should ensure that training enrollment standard,
the testing method, instructor qualification and training, training facilities, instructional
equipment, material, special tool and shop equipment compliance with CASR Part
147. The compliance should be checked at least once in every 24 months and may
be carried out as one complete single exercise or subdivided over a 24-month period
in accordance with a scheduled plan.
The primary objective of the quality system is to enable the training organization to
satisfy itself that it can deliver properly trained students and that the organization
remains in compliance with CASR Part 147.
The independent audit is a process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the
training organization’s ability to carry out all training and examinations to the required
standards. It represents an overview of the complete training system and does not
replace the need for instructors to ensure that they carry out training to the required
standard.
A report should be raised each time an audit is carried out describing what was
checked and any resulting findings. The report should be sent to the affected
department(s) for rectification action giving target rectification dates. Possible
rectification dates may be discussed with the affected department(s) before the
quality department confirms such dates on the report. The affected department(s)
should rectify any findings and inform the quality department of such rectification.
The aircraft maintenance training organization training may have a dedicated quality
audit group whose sole function is to conduct audits, raise finding reports and follow
up to ensure that findings are being rectified, or use competent personnel from one
section/department not responsible for the function or procedure to check the
section/department that is responsible subject to the overall planning and
implementation being under the control of the quality manager.
The management control and follow up system should be established, this function is
to ensure that all findings resulting from the independent audit are corrected in a
26
SI 147-01 Edition 1

timely manner and to enable the accountable manager to remain properly informed
of the state of compliance. Apart from rectification of findings the accountable
manager should hold routine meetings to check progress on rectification except that
in the large training organization such meetings may be delegated on a day to day
basis to the quality manager as long as the accountable manager meets at least
once per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance.
The training procedure manual shall have statement of compliance, declaration, and
signed by accountable manager, including the following information:
2. Chart and description of the training organizations, and the names of the

A. Surveillance Objectives
This chapter provides guidance for conducting surveillance of certificated Aircraft
Maintenance Training Organization (AMTO). The primary objective of surveillance is
to provide the DGCA, through the conduct of a variety of inspections, with an
accurate, real time, and comprehensive evaluation of the safety status of the air
transportation system. This surveillance program objective is accomplished by
inspectors performing the following:
• Determining each maintenance training organization's compliance with
regulatory requirements and safe operating practices
• Detecting changes as they occur in the operational environment
• Detecting the need for regulatory, managerial, and operational changes
• Measuring the effectiveness of previous corrective actions.
B. Surveillance Scheduling
CASR 147.55 allows inspection of a AMTO at any time to determine its compliance
with part 147.
b) At the inspection exit briefing, the inspector must provide the AMTO with
notification of discrepancies found during the formal inspection, record and
monitor the discrepancies in DGCA data base (IMSIS). The DGCA
Inspector will provide a written follow-up list of areas of noncompliance to
the AMTO. The AMTO must initiate immediate corrective action to
demonstrate regulatory compliance and must provide the DGCA with
written notification of the action taken.

4) Examine the System for Determining Final Course Grades. Ensure the
system reliably distinguishes between successful students and unsuccessful
students.
a) Ensure all grade reports and records identified, as part of the approved
grading system, meet the recordkeeping requirements of CASR147.39.
b) Ensure that the approved grading system is being followed.
5) Ensure Maintenance of Instructor Requirements. Determine whether
instructor resources are adequate and effective, meeting the requirements of
CASR 147.21.
a) Check the instructor/student ratio against the maximum allowable ratio of
1:25 in a class shop or lab. If necessary, require a lower ratio in any shop
or lab to provide adequate instruction and supervision of students.
b) Determine if instruction given by specialized instructors is well coordinated
with aviation technical subjects (e.g., math instructors might teach Weight
and Balance (W&B) principles). Evaluate the suitability of non-certificated
instructors to teach certain general courses on an individualized basis.
c) Determine whether the AMTO has positive control over what is taught and
when it is taught, in accordance with its approved curriculum.
d) Observe classes and conduct interviews to determine individual instructor
effectiveness. While it is permissible to talk to instructors and/or students
in an ongoing lab or shop session, try to avoid disrupting any theory class
while it is in session.
e) encourage the AMTO to assess instructor performance regularly and
provide for instructor improvement.
6) Ensure AMTO Space Usage Allows for Appropriate Separation of
Classes in Session (CASR147.23(b)). See Chapter IV of this Staff

1. GENERAL
The objective of this chapter is to determine whether a AMTO applying for written
test examining authority meets the requirements outlined in CASR 147 subpart D.
Successful completion of this task results in either issuance or denial of examining
authority to that AMTO.
An AMTO may request written test examining authority for a type of training. CASR
147.47 states that an AMTO that holds examining authority may recommend a
person for the basic certificate, license or rating without taking the DGCA knowledge
test. If the AMTO does not hold written test examining authority, written test is
conducted by DGCA.
ELIGIBILITY. Only the holder of a Certificate of Approval for a AMTO
is eligible for
an examining authority. In addition to meeting the requirements of CASR147, a
AMTO must meet the provisions of
CASR 141.65 within the preceding 24 calendar-
months.
33
SI 147-01 Edition 1

3) The AMTO must have held the rating for which examining authority is sought
for
at least 24 calendar-months preceding the month of application for
renewal of its examining authority.
4) The type of training for which examining authority is requested may not be a
training that is approved without meeting the minimum instruction hour
requirements of part 147.
C. Expiration of Authority.
Examining authority expires concurrently with the
Certificate of Approval on which it
is issued; that is, examining authority expires at the end of the 24th calendar-month
after the month in which it was issued. Reapplication must be made at least 30 days
before the expiration date. Examining authority is routinely renewed at the same time
as the AMTO’s certificate is renewed, provided the AMTO meets the requirements of
part 147 subpart D.
2. PROCEDURE
B. Examine Qualifications.
