Title
PART 6 –APPROVED MAINTENANCE ORGANISATION

Introduction

Part 6 provides Directives for the registration and monitoring of Approved Maintenance
Organisations (AMO) using the Standards and Recommended Practices contained in
Annex 6, Parts I, II, III and Annex 8. The proper maintenance of aircraft is fundamental
to aviation safety, and requires meticulous record keeping.
Modern practice among Contracting States varies. Maintenance requirements for AOC
holders with integral maintenance organisations with no AMO certificate and approval of
AMO contracted by Ghana AOC holders for the maintenance of Ghana registered aircraft
is addressed in Part 9.
Section 6.2.1(1)(d) requires an AMO applicant to disclose all AMO certificates the
applicant holds from any Contracting State other than Ghana. Many regional airline
consortia use common maintenance facilities in one Contracting State. This practice does
not relieve Ghana from approving the AMO that its AOC holders use. Knowledge of the
other Contracting State’s AMO licensing and regulating practices will allow the Authority
both to communicate with the Authority overseeing the AMO certificate, and to weigh the
AMO requirements of the other Contracting State for satisfaction of Ghana’s own
Directives
