Hi all of you!
I think it is time to explain my long absence from this forum:
In the last weeks, months already, my college and I had to create a PART 145 maintenance organisation for helicopters. As you may imagine, this is not done over night. There are tough regulations to follow and fulfil (to hum who is interested: regulation of the European commission 2042/2003, annex II, Part 145). Finally all has to be presented to the authority.
My task was to write the MOE, the Maintenance Organisation Exposition, the quality-handbook and get it accepted by the authority. In this book I had to state the scope of our intended work and the process how we follow the given regulations. This book has to be accepted by the authority first. Than we hat to find a suitable hangar and fit this with all benches, tools, books and necessary equipment. Than this has to be accepted by the authority.
Well, my college and I we made it so far. Mid of July we received our approval certificate with the number AT.145.068 for Bell 206, R 22 and R44.
Other types of helicopters are planed to be entered into our scope of work. Until Christmas I should make it possible to work on Bell 407, Bell 212, Agusta109 too.
Next step now is to start operation in Dubai, UAE. This is scheduled for mid of September. Our next tasks bill be the shipment of two helos (Bell 206, 407) to Dubai via ship and container. So the packing starts.
Therefore I will not have too much time to surf in this forum. I will glance in now and then. Whish you all the best so far
