Organisations wishing to provide airworthiness support to military registered aircraft must meet the MoD’s standards as set out in the Maintenance Approved Organisation Scheme (MAOS). The requirements can seem complex so this course is designed to make MAOS simple. It will help you to interpret and implement the requirements and secure your organisation’s provision of services.

This in-depth course will provide you with a thorough appreciation of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) framework for design, manufacturing, certification and airworthiness. Over the three days, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the EASA approval principles, high level requirements and subsequent parallels with the UK Ministry of Defence (EASA aligned) MAOS framework.

The course takes a practical approach to clarifying and interpreting both the existing and the proposed content of Defence Standard 05-130. It gives you the opportunity to examine and discuss the requirements for approvals within the MAOS framework, notably Mil Part M, Mil Part 145, Mil Part 147 and Mil Part 66, and to analyse the standards in relation to your organisation and your specific job role.

Completing this course will significantly enhance your knowledge and understanding of the EASA and MAOS regulatory frameworks and will enable you to:

• Interpret Defence Standard 05-130 and the MAOS requirements in the context of your own organisation and specific job role
• Assess your organisation’s compliance against the standards required by the MoD to meet their implicit safety objectives
• Develop a practical action plan to implement any necessary changes
• Ensure your organisation is on target to gain / retain MAOS approval
