3.1. Quality audit of organisation procedures.


Reference PART 145.A.65 (c) 1, 2, PART 145.A.70 (a) 12.
It is the ORENAIR maintenance organisation policy to improve quality system, which has the
following primary objectives:
- delivery of a safe product;
- compliance with the PART-145, requirements.
The discipline required within each section of the maintenance organisation to comply with the
requirements, to detect and eliminate non-compliances, is the responsibility of the person in charge of
that section. In this respect the audit system must not be exploited for the purpose of disciplinary
action, as this would reduce the effectiveness of the audit system in the long terms. Hence, non-
compliances discovered during audits will be considered as section management system non-
compliances and in this respect must be resolved by the person responsible for the section.
There are two essential elements in the quality system: an independent audit system and the
management control follow up system.
The independent audit is an objective process to check all aspects of ORENAIR maintenance
organisation ability to carry out all maintenance in accordance with the required standards.
Quality audits are subdivided as internal and external.
The internal audits must cover all PART-145 subjects and all internal procedures (MOE, CP).
The purposes of the internal audits are:
- determination of conformity or nonconformity of quality system elements and procedures to the
PART-145 and approved MOE requirements;
- determination of the factors, which negatively influence on the quality;
- determination of preventive and corrective actions directed to prevent/eliminate nonconformities
and reasons of their occurrence;
- to assure the quality of the works.
The purpose of external audits is to evaluate and select the Supplier/Subcontractor as per section 2.1 of
MOE.
The procedure is detailed within Company Procedure CP002-OA-005.
The QM is responsible for supervision of the maintenance system, implementation of the internal and
external quality audits. He interacts with the management personnel listed in the MOE (section 1.3)
and has straight access to the Accountable Manager.

The objects of audit are checked every 12 months and must cover of all the PART-145 subjects. The
annual quality audit plan is prepared by the Quality assurance group leader . During the preparation,
determination of volume and dates of the audits, the following are considered:
- requirements of the PART-145, changes of requirements;
- analysis results of the previous audits and comments of Aviation Authority;
- policy and management system changes;
- eventual reasons of occurrence of non – conformity;
- approved MOE procedures.
The plan is available and may be sent to the Aviation Authority upon request.
Availability of the plan does not exclude the possibility to carry out non-planned audit on request of
the management personnel listed in the MOE (section 1.3), Aviation Authority and upon necessity.
Where findings are identified, the particular procedure should be rechecked against until the non-
conformities will be rectified. Then the independent audit of this procedure has to be reverted back to
12 months. The Quality assurance group leader may change the audit interval depending on discovered
discovered findings during next audit.
The Quality assurance group leader is responsible for audits preparation and works out Questionnaire
(Form OA032-02 ) for every audit as per CP002-OA-05 and informs the manager of the audited
department, about the date, time and audit volume. Form OA032-02 contains the description of
checked subjects and results of check.
The audit is performed by the QD personnel. It is admitted to attract the staff of others departments
when qualified to carry out the audit and not responsible for the function, procedure or products being
check. The auditors are assigned as per section 3.6 of MOE.
At the end of the audit a Audit Report (FORM OA033- 02) is issued containing the following:
- references to the audit (section, place, subject, date, names of the auditors and auditiee);
- observations and non-compliances;
- recommendations;
- proposed categorisation of non-compliances;
- corrective actions;
- period of time allocated to perform the corrective action;
- other information.
Each non-conformity is recorded in the report. Rectification date should be discussed with the
manager of relevant department(s) or may be demanded by auditor before confirmation such dates in

department is responsible for the corrective and preventive actions control in a timely manner and for
the nonconformity rectification information. The auditor is responsible for evaluation of conformity,
identification of nonconformity, presentation of the report, monitoring and evaluation of corrective
action carried out. Implementation of corrective actions are monitored by Quality assurance group
leader via Corrective Actions Request (Form OA034- 02).
The audit system is failure prevention oriented and designed to analyze parts of the PART-145
Aircraft Maintenance System on a periodic basis, in order to assure a satisfactory level of confidence
in the compliance with the PART-145 standards.
The external audit is used for evaluation and selection of the Suppliers/Subcontractors before
including them into the List of Approved Suppliers. The external audit is performed, if the
Supplier/Subcontractor has no appropriate approval or collected data is not sufficient.
The procedure is detailed within Company Procedure CP002-OA-05.
The nonconformity reports are performed in two copies. One copy is remained in QD for monitoring.
Other copy is passed to the manager of the audited department/Supplier/ Subcontractor and is returned
to QD after accomplishment of corrective actions and nonconformity rectification.
The results of the internal/external audits are sent to the Accountable Manager of ORENAIR
maintenance organisation. If it is necessary, Quality assurance group leader transfers them to the other
Managers.
Reports are to be retained by the QD at least 2 years after the date of clearance of the findings to which
they refer.
