I. Foreword
I. FOREWORD:
1. The Civil Aviation Authorities of South Asian Regional Initiative (SARI) members (here in
after referred as “Member State Country”) have agreed to a common comprehensive and
detailed aviation requirements, with a future view to make it compatible for maintenance carried
out in one member state to be accepted by the Civil Aviation Authority in another member state.
3. This ANO has been issued in a consolidate version in order to provide its stakeholders with
an updated and easy-to-read publication. It has been prepared by putting together the regulations
with the related acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM) adopted so
far.
4. The content of this document is arranged as follows: the regulation appear first, followed by
the related acceptable means of compliance and guidance material paragraph(s). All elements
(i.e. regulation, AMC, and GM) are color-coded and can be identified according to the illustration
below.

ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE (AMC)
GUIDANCE MATERIAL (GM)
147.A.1 Authority
For the purpose of this ANO, Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) is the “Competent
Authority” for all maintenance training organizations (MTOs) seeking approval or already
approved under ANO-147.
This Air Navigation order is issued by Director General of Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority
(PCAA) in pursuance of power vested in him under Rule 4, 5, 180 and 360 and all other
enabling provisions of the Civil Aviation Rules 1994 (CARs, 94).
147.A.2 Implementation
This Air Navigation Order shall become effective from 22nd June, 2017 and supersedes
ANO-147-AWRG-1.0, issued on 30th September, 2013 and Manual MNL-147-AWRG-1.0
dated 22nd June, 2013.
147.A.3 Applicability
Applicable to all maintenance training organizations (MTOs) already approved or seeking
approval to conduct training and examination as specified in ANO-066-AWRG

2. The record may be kept in any format but should be under the control of the
organisations quality system.
3. Persons authorised to access the system should be maintained at a minimum to
ensure that records cannot be altered in an unauthorised manner or that such confidential
records become accessible to unauthorised persons.
4. PCAA inspector is an authorised person when investigating the records system for
initial and continued approval or when PCAA has cause to doubt the competence of a
particular person.
GM to 147.A.110 Records of instructors, examiners and assessors
Instructors, knowledge examiners and practical assessors should be provided with a copy
of their terms of reference (ToRs).
147.A.115 Instructional equipment
(a) Each classroom shall have appropriate presentation equipment of a standard that
ensures students can easily read presentation text/drawings/diagrams and figures from any
position in the classroom.
Presentation equipment shall include representative synthetic training devices to assist
students in their understanding of the particular subject matter where such devices are
considered beneficial for such purposes.
(b) The basic training workshops and/or maintenance facilities as specified in 147.A.100(d)
must have all tools and equipment necessary to perform the approved scope of training.
(c) The basic training workshops and/or maintenance facilities as specified in 147.A.100(d)
must have an appropriate selection of aircraft, engines, aircraft parts and avionics
equipment.
(d) The aircraft type training organisation as specified in 147.A.100(e) must have access to
the appropriate aircraft type. Synthetic training devices may be used when such synthetic
training devices ensure adequate training standards.
GM to 147.A.115(a) Instructional equipment
1. Synthetic training devices are working models of a particular system or component and
include computer simulations.
2. A synthetic training device is considered beneficial for complex systems and fault
diagnostic purposes.
AMC 147.A.115(c) Instructional equipment
1. An appropriate selection of aircraft parts means appropriate in relation to the particular
subject module or sub-module of ANO-066 being instructed. For example the turbine
engine module should require the provision of sufficient parts from different types of turbine
engine to show what such parts look like, what the critical areas are from a maintenance
viewpoint and to enable disassembly/assembly exercises to be completed.
2. Appropriate aircraft, engines, aircraft parts and avionic equipment means appropriate in
relation to the particular subject module or sub-module of ANO-066 being instructed. For
example category B2 avionic training should require amongst other equipment, access to at
least one type of installed autopilot and flight director system such that maintenance and
system functioning can be observed and therefore more fully understood by the student in
the working environment.
3. ‘Access’ may be interpreted to mean, in conjunction with the facilities requirement of
147.A.100(d), that there may be an agreement with a maintenance organisation approved
under ANO-145 to access such parts, etc.

5. The independence of the audit system should be established by always ensuring that
audits are carried out by personnel not responsible for the function or procedure being
checked.
GM to 147.A.130(b) Training procedures and quality system
1. The primary objective of the quality system is to enable the training organisation to
satisfy itself that it can deliver properly trained students and that the organisation remains in
compliance with ANO-147.
2. The independent audit is a process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the
training organisation’s ability to carry out all training and examinations to the required
standards. It represents an overview of the complete training system and does not replace
the need for instructors to ensure that they carry out training to the required standard.
3. A report should be raised each time an audit is carried out describing what was
checked and any resulting findings. The report should be sent to the affected department(s)
for rectification action giving target rectification dates. Possible rectification dates may be
discussed with the affected department(s) before the quality department confirms such
dates on the report. The affected department(s) should rectify any findings and inform the
quality department of such rectification.
4. A large training organisation (an organisation with the capacity to provide training for 50
students or more) should have a dedicated quality audit group whose sole function is to
conduct audits, raise finding reports and follow up to ensure that findings are being rectified.
For the small training organisation (an organisation with the capacity to provide training for
less than 50 students) it is acceptable to use competent personnel from one
section/department not responsible for the function or procedure to check the
section/department that is responsible subject to the overall planning and implementation
being under the control of the quality manager.
5. The management control and follow up system should not be contracted to outside
persons. The principal function is to ensure that all findings resulting from the independent
audit are corrected in a timely manner and to enable the accountable manager to remain
properly informed of the state of compliance. Apart from rectification of findings the
accountable manager should hold routine meetings to check progress on rectification
except that in the large training organisation such meetings may be delegated on a day to
day basis to the quality manager as long as the accountable manager meets at least once
per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance.
147.A.135 Examinations
(a) The examination staff shall ensure the security of all questions.
(b) Any student found during a knowledge examination to be cheating or in possession of
material pertaining to the examination subject other than the examination papers and
associated authorised documentation shall be disqualified from taking the examination and
may not take any examination for at least 12 months after the date of the incident. PCAA
shall be informed of any such incident together with the details of any enquiry within one
calendar month.
(c) Any examiner found during a knowledge examination to be providing question answers
to any student being examined shall be disqualified from acting as an examiner and the
examination declared void. PCAA must be informed of any such occurrence within one
calendar month.
AMC 147.A.135 Examinations
1. Examinations may be computer or hardcopy based or a combination of both.
2. The actual questions to be used in a particular examination should be determined by
the examiners. For further details on examination, refer latest issue of AWNOT-078.

PCAA will determine when or if the disqualified examiner may be reinstated.
147.A.140 Maintenance training organisation exposition (MTOE)
(a) The organisation shall provide an exposition for use by the organisation describing the
organisation and its procedures and containing the following information:
1. a statement signed by the accountable manager confirming that the maintenance
training organisation exposition and any associated manuals define the maintenance
training organisation's compliance with this ANO and shall be complied with at all
times.
2. the title(s) and name(s) of the person(s) nominated in accordance with 147.A.105(b).

8. the maintenance training organisation's exposition amendment procedure.
9. the maintenance training organisation's procedures, as required by 147.A.130(a).
10. the maintenance training organisation's control procedure, as required by
147.A.145(c), when authorised to conduct training, examination and assessments in
locations different from those specified in point 147.A.145(b).
11. a list of the locations pursuant to 147.A.145(b).
12. a list of organisations, if appropriate, as specified in 147.A.145(d).
(b) The maintenance training organisation's exposition and any subsequent amendments
shall be approved by Director Airworthiness, PCAA.
(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) minor amendments to the exposition may be approved
through an exposition procedure (hereinafter called indirect approval).
AMC 147.A.140 Maintenance training organisation exposition
1. A recommended format of the exposition is included in Appendix I to AMCs.
2. When the maintenance training organisation is approved in accordance with any other
ANO which also requires an exposition, the exposition required by the other ANO may form
the basis of the maintenance training organisation exposition in a combined document, as
long as the other exposition contains the information required by 147.A.140 and a cross
reference index is included based upon Appendix I.
3. When training or examination is carried out under the sub-contract control system the
maintenance training organisation exposition should contain a specific procedure on the
control of sub-contractors as per Appendix I item 2.18 plus a list of sub-contractors as
required by 147.A.140(a)12 and detailed in Appendix I item 1.7.
4. PCAA may approve a delegated exposition approval system for all changes other than
those affecting the approval.

3. The contract between the maintenance training organisation approved under ANO-147
and the sub-contractor should contain:
− a provision for PCAA to have right of access to the sub-contractor;
− a provision for the sub-contractor to inform the ANO-147 approved maintenance
training organisation of any change that may affect its ANO-147 approval, before
any such change takes place.
GM 147.A.145(d) Privileges of the maintenance training organisation
1. The pre audit procedure should focus on establishing compliance with the training and
examination standards set out in ANO-147 and ANO-066.
2. The fundamental reason for allowing a maintenance training organisation approved
under ANO-147 to sub-contract certain basic theoretical training courses is to permit the
approval of maintenance training organisations, which may not have the capacity to
conduct training courses on all ANO-066 modules.
3. The reason for allowing the subcontracting of training modules 1 to 6 and 8 to 10 only
is, most of the related subjects can generally also be taught by training organisations not
specialised in aircraft maintenance and the practical training element as specified in
147.A.200 does not apply to them. On the contrary, training modules 7 and 11 to 17 are
specific to aircraft maintenance and include the practical training element as specified in
147.A.200. The intent of the ‘limited subcontracting’ option as specified in 147.A.145 is to
grant ANO-147 approvals only to those organisations having themselves at least the
capacity to teach on aircraft maintenance specific matters.
GM 147.A.145(d)3 Privileges of the maintenance training organisation
In the case of type training and examination, the reason for allowing only subcontracting to
powerplant and avionic systems is that the related subjects can generally also be imparted
by certain organisations specialised in these domains such as the Type Certificate Holder
of the powerplant or the OEMs of these avionics systems. In such a case, the type training
course should make clear how the interfaces with the airframe are addressed and by whom
(the subcontracted organisation or the ANO-147 organisation itself).
AMC 147.A.145(f) Privileges of the maintenance training organisation
When an organisation approved to provide basic knowledge training or type training is also
approved to provide type examination in the cases where type training is not required,
appropriate procedures in the MTOE should be developed and approved, including:
− The development and the conduct of the type examination;
− The qualification of the examiners and their currency.
In particular, emphasis should be put when such an examination is not regularly conducted
or when the examiners are not normally involved in aircraft or activities with technology
corresponding to the aircraft type subject to examination. An example would be the case of
an organisation providing basic knowledge training only for the B1.1 license. This
organisation should justify how they run type examinations for single piston-engine
helicopters in the case of a B1.4 licence.
147.A.150 Changes to the maintenance training organization
(a) The maintenance training organisation shall notify PCAA of any proposed changes to
the organisation that affect the approval before any such change takes place, in order to
enable PCAA to determine continued compliance with this ANO and to amend if necessary
the maintenance training organisation approval certificate.
(b) PCAA may prescribe the conditions under which the maintenance training organisation
may operate during such changes unless PCAA determines that the maintenance training
organisation approval must be suspended.

APPROVED MAINTENANCE TRAINING ORGANISATIONS
(c) Failure to inform PCAA of such changes may result in suspension or revocation of the
maintenance training organisation approval certificate backdated to the actual date of the
changes.
147.A.155 Continued validity
(a) An approval shall be issued or renewed for a maximum period of (01) one year. It shall
remain valid subject to:
1. the organisation remaining in compliance with this ANO, in accordance with the
provisions related to the handling of findings as specified in point 147.B.130; and
2. PCAA being granted access to the organisation to determine continued compliance
with this ANO; and
3. the certificate not being surrendered or revoked.
(b) Upon surrender or revocation, the approval shall be returned to the Director
Airworthiness, PCAA.
147.A.160 Findings
(a) A level 1 finding is one or more of the following:
1. any significant non-compliance with the examination process which would invalidate
the examination(s),
2. failure to give the PCAA access to the organisation's facilities during normal
operating hours after two written requests,
3. the lack of an accountable manager,
4. a significant non-compliance with the training process.
(b) A level 2 finding is any non-compliance with the training process other than level-1
findings.
(c) After receipt of notification of findings according to 147.B.130, the holder of the
maintenance training organisation approval shall define a corrective action plan and
demonstrate corrective action to the satisfaction of PCAA within a period agreed with PCAA.

This Subpart provides the requirements to issue or vary the maintenance training
organisation approval.
147.B.110 Procedure for approval and changes to the approval
(a) Upon receipt of an application, PCAA shall:
1. review the maintenance training organisation exposition; and
2. verify the organisation's compliance with the requirement of ANO-147.
(b) All findings identified shall be recorded and confirmed in writing to the applicant.
(c) All findings shall be closed in accordance with point 147.B.130 before the approval is
issued.
(d) The reference number shall be included on the approval certificate in a manner
specified by PCAA.
GM to 147.B.110 Procedure for approval and changes to the approval
1. A meeting should be arranged between the applicant and Airworthiness officials of
PCAA to determine if the applicant's training activities justify the investigation for issue of
ANO-147 approval and to ensure that the applicant understands what needs to be done for
ANO-147 approval. This meeting is not intended to establish compliance but rather to see if
the activity is an ANO-147 activity.
2. Assuming that the applicant's activities come within the scope of ANO-147 approval,
Airworthiness field office audit team will carry out the audit of the applicant and when
satisfied that compliance has been established, a recommendation for the issue of approval
should be submitted to HQs Airworthiness Directorate along with all necessary enclosures
and checklists. Head of field office should determine how and by whom the audit shall be
conducted. For example, if the applicant is a large training organisation, it will be necessary
to determine whether one large team audit or a short series of small team audits or a long
series of single person audits is most appropriate for the particular situation. A further
consideration in the case of a combined ANO-145/147 organisation is the possibility to
combine the audits.
3. Where it is intended that the maintenance training organisation may conduct training
and examinations away from the maintenance training organisation address(es) in
accordance with 147.A.145(c), then a sample audit should be carried out by PCAA from
time to time of the process to ensure that procedures are followed. For practical reasons
such sample audits will need to be carried out when training is being conducted away from
the maintenance training organisation address(es).
4. The auditing surveyor should ensure that they are always accompanied throughout the
audit by a senior member of the organisation making application for ANO-147 approval.
Normally this should be the proposed quality manager. The reason for being accompanied
is to ensure that the organisation is fully aware of any findings during the audit. In any case,
the proposed quality manager/senior member of the organisation should be debriefed at the
end of the audit visit on the findings made during the audit.
5. There will be occasions when the auditing surveyor may find situations in the
applicant's organisation on which he/she is unsure about compliance. In this case, the
organisation should be informed about possible non-compliance at the time of audit and the
fact that the situation will be reviewed before a decision is made. The organisation should
be informed of the decision within 2 weeks of the audit visit in writing if the decision is a
confirmation of non-compliance. If the decision is a finding of being in compliance, a verbal
confirmation to the organisation will suffice.
