How to become a CASR Subpart 42G CAMO

   An exposition details how your organisation conducts activities safely by complying with legislation.

   Regardless of how you structure your exposition – as a set of documents or one volume - you must include all the requirements set out in Subpart 42.G - Subsection 1.2.1 of Part 42 Manual Of Standards.

   We recommend using our sample exposition to help guide you to structure and write your exposition: CASR Subpart 42.G continuing airworthiness management organisations sample exposition.

   A template for a CASR Part 42 Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation Exposition is also available through our Manual Authoring and Assessment Tool (MAAT). You can use the Tool to draft, revise, submit and update your exposition online. See the Part 42 Exposition - MAAT information.
