8 WHR — conditions for COA training and assessment

Note See also instrument CASA 03/15 containing directions and conditions variously addressed to COA holders and their employees, and to independent LAMEs (as defined in the direction).

8.1A COA holder:

(a) must not permit a person to carry out Part 1 WHR maintenance unless the COA holder has issued the person with a certification authorisation for carrying out the maintenance; and

(b) must ensure that an employee of the COA holder does not carry out Part 1 WHR maintenance except in accordance with a certification authorisation issued under this subsection.

8.2 A COA holder may issue a certification authorisation to an employed authority or type rating holder, or a WHR employee, in accordance with this subsection.

8.3 Before issuing a certification authorisation to a WHR employee, the COA holder must provide, and the WHR employee must successfully complete, training and assessment in Part 1 WHR maintenance in accordance with the COA holder’s quality control manual.

Note: > Note

This training and assessment is not required for an employed authority or type rating holder.

8.4 A certification authorisation may only be issued for a period of not more than 2 years.

8.5 A certification authorisation may be reissued for further periods of not more than 2 years each:

(a) to an employed authority or type rating holder; and

(b) to a trained WHR employee — but only if, before the reissue, he or she successfully completes the COA holder’s reassessment of competency for Part 1 WHR maintenance as provided for in the holder’s quality control manual.

8.6 Before issuing a certification authorisation to a trained WHR employee or reissuing a certification authorisation under paragraph 8.5, the COA holder must, in respect of the Part 1 WHR maintenance, be a CASA delegate for subregulation 42ZC (6) of CAR 1988 who may authorise a person for the purposes of paragraph 42ZC (4) (e).

8.7 The COA holder must give a notice of completion of training and assessment, or reassessment, in the approved form, to the WHR employee as soon as the employee has successfully completed the training and assessment, or reassessment, in Part 1 WHR maintenance, and been issued, or reissued, with a certification authorisation.

Note With training, assessment and certification authorisation, a WHR employee becomes a trained WHR employee. With reassessment of competency and certification authorisation, a trained WHR employee is permitted to continue as a trained WHR employee. Part 1 WHR maintenance may only be carried out by an employed authority or type rating holder or by a trained WHR employee to whom the COA holder has issued a certification authorisation.
