Aviation Organisations

Part-145 AMO Applications

Exposition development, capability demonstration, quality system establishment, and personnel qualification planning for Approved Maintenance Organisation approvals. The scope includes definition of the intended rating scope and coordination with the competent authority through the approval process, which often requires iterative adjustment to the exposition before the approval is granted.

Part-CAO Applications

Combined Airworthiness Organisation approval for non-complex aircraft, with an integrated exposition that covers both maintenance and continuing airworthiness functions within a single approval framework. The CAO structure reduces organisational overhead for small operators, because it avoids the need for separate Part-145 and Part-CAMO approvals.

Part-CAMO Applications

Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation approval, covering CAMO exposition, airworthiness review procedures, technical records management, and compliance monitoring systems. The compliance monitoring system in particular requires careful design, since it must detect non-compliance before the airworthiness review rather than after.

Part-21J DOA and Part-21G POA Setup

Design Organisation and Production Organisation approval support, including procedures manual development, design assurance or production quality systems, and the capability demonstration that the authority requires before granting the approval.

ATO/DTO Certification

Training organisation applications under Part-ORA, including training programme development, instructor standardisation, and quality management systems.

Part-IS and NIS-2 Compliance

Information security management system implementation for aviation organisations in accordance with Part-IS (EU 2023/203), covering risk assessment methodology, security procedures, and incident response planning. For organisations that hold military contracts or fall under critical infrastructure classification, the scope extends to NIS-2 applicability assessment and a compliance strategy that integrates with the existing approval framework rather than creating a parallel bureaucracy.

Compliance Management

Continuing compliance support for approved organisations covers internal audit systems, management review procedures, regulatory change monitoring, finding response coordination, and scope extension management. The internal audit system is designed to identify findings before the authority does, which shifts the organisation from reactive correction to proactive compliance.

Our Approach

Exposition documents reflect actual operational workflows rather than generic regulatory templates, because an approval whose procedures diverge from the way the organisation actually works tends to generate findings at the first audit. Aufwind has gone through the CAO approval process with its own organisation, which means that the recommendations to clients come from direct experience with the same systems and regulatory coordination. For multi-site or multi-national setups, the scope addresses the specific regulatory challenges of cross-border operations, dual approvals, and multi-authority coordination.
