I. INTRODUCTION
SL00-1-COV
A. REVIEW
Welcome to the Government Safety Inspector

(GSI) – Airworthiness course for Approved
Maintenance Organisation (AMO) and Air Operator
Certification (AOC).
As a Government Safety Inspector, your job is

essential to ensuring aviation safety. You must be
systematic and thorough when evaluating
whether safety standards have been met or
exceeded. As such, it’s important that you have a
thorough understanding of the important job that
Government Safety Inspectors perform.

Page 5 of 24
B. PURPOSE
The purpose of this lesson is to provide you with

an overview of this course and its associated
materials. I will highlight the regulations or
standards on which the course is based.
C. OBJECTIVES
D. OVERVIEW
SL-2-COV
We will cover the following topics in this lesson:

• Course Structure and Design
• Course Materials
• Regulatory Guidance

Page 6 of 24
II. BODY
A. COURSE STRUCTURE AND DESIGN
SL-3-COV
This course is divided into two modules:
• Module 01 covers AMO certification and

consists of 9 nine lessons.
• Module 02 covers Air Operator certification

(AOC) and consists of 11 lessons.

Page 7 of 24

SL-4-COV
This course was designed and developed using

both Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and
International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)
methodology.
Both modules will cover the five phases of

certification.
1. Pre-Application
2. Formal Application
3. Document Evaluation
4. Demonstration Inspection
5. Certification

Page 8 of 24
1. Course Acronyms and Definitions
SL-5-COV NOTE: We are

using MCARs 2.6
in this course.
Throughout this course, we will use several

acronyms. We have included an acronym list in
your student materials.
Additional definitions for terms and concepts used

in this course can be found in MCAR Part 1.
Abbreviation meanings are located in MCAR Part
6.

B. COURSE MATERIALS
SL-6-COV
You have binders associated with this course: Instructor Note:

Please note that
the Inspector
• Student Binders, one for AMO and one for Handbook and
MCARs are in
AOC, contain the content for each lesson and more than one
the associated mastery tests and group binder and are
activities. labeled.
• The Inspector Handbook contains the

reference material.
• The Model Civil Aviation Regulations contain

the MCARs to which you will refer throughout
this course.

SL-7-COV

2. Inspector Handbook
SL-8-COV
This reference material binder will be referred to

as the Inspector Handbook. The Field Reference
List in your handbook lists and describes all of the
references associated with this course.

Page 12 of 24
3. Model Civil Aviation Regulations
SL-9-COV

Page 13 of 24
C. REGULATORY GUIDANCE
SL-10-COV
As mentioned earlier, the MCARs have 11 parts.

• Each part has subdivisions called subparts.
• Each subpart is further subdivided into
sections.
• Finally, a subsection, which can be a
subdivision of a subpart or a section, refers
to the title of the regulation and may refer to
an Implementing Standard.

Page 14 of 24
The Model Civil Aviation Safety Act was developed

for States to use as a model in developing their
own aviation laws.
The Model Act can be used for guidance in:
• Providing a legal basis for the establishment of

a Civil Aviation Authority
• Establishing the authority under the Director of

Civil Aviation (DCA)
• Defining both the duties and the authority

granted to the Director under the law of the
State
The Model Law consists of 11 subchapters.

Subchapter I contain definitions that are not
specifically defined by the MCARs.
As with the MCARs and the Model Civil Aviation

Safety Act, the advisory material and directive
material used during this course can, in some
cases, serve as a model that States can follow in
developing their own directive and advisory
material appropriate for aviation in their State.
States need to develop technical guidance

material to provide technical experts with
guidance to accomplish their specific functions.
Technical guidance is important information,

because regulations describe what must be done,
but the technical guidance explains how to do it.

Page 15 of 24
1. MCAR Language
SL-11-COV
Throughout the MCARs, the following word usage

applies:
• Shall – indicates a mandatory requirement.
• No person may or no person may NOT –

means that no person is required, authorised,
or permitted to do an act described in the
regulation.
• May – indicates that discretion can be used

when performing an act described in the
regulation.
• Will – indicates an act incumbent upon the

Authority.
• Includes – means includes but not limited to.

Page 16 of 24
• Approved – means the Authority has reviewed

the method, procedure, or policy in question
and has issued formal written approval.
• Acceptable – means the Authority has

reviewed the method, procedure, or policy and
has neither objected to nor approved its
proposed use or implementation.
• Prescribed – means the Authority has issued

written policy or methodology, which imposes
either a mandatory requirement, if the word
shall is used, or a discretionary requirement, if
the word may is used.
2. Implementing Standards
SL-12-COV Instructor Note:

Example is MCAR
9.1 IS.
In our earlier discussion on MCAR organisation,

we reviewed how a subsection or subpart within a
MCAR may refer to an Implementing Standard.

Page 17 of 24
Implementing Standards:
• Provide detailed requirements that support the

intent of a regulation that is presented in a
part.
• Gain the force and effect of a governing

regulation only if specifically referred to in the
governing regulation.
• Are used in the MCARs to allow an Authority

the flexibility to incorporate new practices or
procedures as they become available without
the procedures required for promulgation of
legally binding regulations.
Parts 2 through 9 have associated Implementing

Standards (IS). This course will touch on Part 5,
Airworthiness; Part 7, Instruments and
Equipment; and Part 8, Operations.
We will primarily cover Part 6, Approved

Maintenance Organisation, and its IS, and Part 9,
Air Operator Certification and Administration, and
its IS.

III. SUMMARY
SL-13-COV
A. REVIEW
In this lesson, we reviewed the course structure

and explained how both FAA and ICAO
methodology were used in the design of this
course. We also reviewed the materials you will
use throughout the course and the regulations
that will guide you.

Page 19 of 24
B. OBJECTIVES FOR THE COURSE
After completing this course:
• You will have acquired a thorough foundation

of knowledge in each of the five phases of
AMO and AOC. Although the course is quite
comprehensive, it represents only the first level
of complexity in certification.
• You will have materials you can take with you

that you and your State can use in developing
your own aviation laws, regulations, and
certification programs.
• You will have gained experience, although

limited, in most of the tasks performed by
airworthiness inspectors during the air operator
or AMO certification process through the
completion of the lesson mastery tests.
• Although you will be quite knowledgeable

about the certification process after completing
this course, it represents only limited practice
in certification. You will need further training
through an on-the-job training or a mentoring
program, and your State will need to have a
developed certification process before you can
acquire all the skills and tools necessary to
properly certify an operator or AMO in your
State.
C. PREVIEW
In the next lesson, we will discuss our ICAO End of Lesson 00
obligations.
