4.  
The independent quality audit reports referenced in AMC M.A.712 (b) should be sent to the relevant department for rectification action giving target rectification dates. Rectification dates should be discussed with such department before the quality department or nominated quality auditor confirms such dates in the report. The relevant department is required to rectify findings and inform the quality manager or the quality auditor of such rectification.

5.  
The accountable manager should hold regular meetings with staff to check progress on rectification except that in the large organisations such meetings may be delegated on a day to day basis to the quality manager subject to the accountable manager meeting at least twice per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance and receiving at least a half yearly summary report on findings of non-compliance.

AMC M.A.712 (b) Quality System
1.  
The primary objectives of the quality system are to enable the M.A. Subpart G organisation to ensure airworthy aircraft and to remain in compliance with the CAR M requirements.

2.
An essential element of the quality system is the independent audit.

3.  
The independent audit is an objective process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the M.A. Subpart G organisation’s ability to carry out continuing airworthiness management to the required standards. It includes some product sampling as this is the end result of the process.

4.
The independent audit represents an objective overview of the complete continuing

Rev 0, dated 2nd March, 2010
 Section-2 CAR M airworthiness management related activities. It is intended to complement the M.A.902 requirement for an airworthiness review to be satisfied that all aircraft managed by the organisation remain airworthy.
5.  
The independent audit should ensure that all aspects of M.A. Subpart G compliance are checked annually, including all the sub-contracted activities, and may be carried out as a complete single exercise or subdivided over the year period in accordance with a scheduled plan. The independent audit does not require each procedure to be checked against each product line when it can be shown that the particular procedure is common to more than one product line and the procedure has been checked every year without resultant findings. Where findings have been identified, the particular procedure should be rechecked against other product lines until the findings have been rectified after which the independent audit procedure may revert back to year for the particular procedure. Provided that there are no safety related findings, the audit time periods specified in this AMC may be increased by up to 100% subject to agreement by DGCA.

6.  
Where the organisation has more than one location approved the quality system should describe how these are integrated into the system and include a plan to audit each location every year.

7.  
A report should be raised each time an audit is carried out describing what was checked and the resulting findings against applicable requirements, procedures and products.

8.  
The independence of the audit should be established by always ensuring that audits are carried out by personnel not responsible for the function, procedure or products being checked.

9.  
An organisation should establish a quality plan acceptable to DGCA to show when and how often the activities as required by M.A. Subpart G will be audited.

AMC M.A.712 (f) Quality system
A small organisation is an organisation managing less than 10 aircraft. This number should be decreased by 50% in the case of large aircraft. The combination of aircraft and aircraft types, the utilisation of the aircraft and the number of approved locations of the organisations should also be considered before replacing the quality system by an organisational review.
