2 Nepal: CAAN has published NCAR 145 including Section B as well as AMC and GM. The organisations have been required to comply with this NCAR 145 before the end of Buddha Air and Yeti Airlines have already been granted a NCAR 145 Approval. Other maintenance organisations (operators) are currently going through the NCAR approval process. The NCAA was requested to de-identify the findings they issue during the approval process of the Nepalese operators and to provide SARI with these findings. The information collected may facilitate the identification of systemic issues the Nepalese maintenance organisations are facing. CAAN reported that currently one of the major issues faced by their industry is the absence of a SARI Part M which makes the split of maintenance / continuing airworthiness responsibilities difficult. CAAB has published ANO 145 effective 17 July The industry is now required to comply with this new regulation. Lack of adequate hangars as well as a lack of personnel matching quality manager profile. DCA Bhutan is still following JAR 145 as well as BAR AW for other airworthiness areas. BCAR 145 based on EASA Part 145 has been drafted few years back but never implemented. DCA Bhutan will therefore implement SARI Part 145 at issue 1. As the number of operators in Bhutan and their scope of work are limited the DCA do not anticipate major difficulties in the implementation of SARI Part 145. SARI underlined that the DCA will have also to apply SARI Part 145 when approving foreign maintenance organisations. DCA Bhutan recognised that this may be more difficult given the current lack of experience of DCA officers. DCA Bhutan will provide SARI with a timeframe for the implementation of SARI Part 145 including Section B procedures for Competent Authority CAA Maldives is fully aligned on SARI Part 145 draft issue 1 and its industry fully complying. The only difficulties Maldives is currently facing are the availability of airworthiness officers and the fast development of the aviation sector. By PCAA informed SARI that their ANO 145 should be approved by their Director General on 15 June The industry will be required to show compliance by 3 September It was not clear if this compliance date was for new organisations only. SARI will require additional information from PCAA. (Action: SARI Coordinator) 2. The draft SARI NPA Procedure issue 3 dated 7 February 2012 was commented. Draft 4 will be issued before the end of June to modify the consultation process that will include, prior to the WG meeting, the distribution of the draft NPA to the WG members. Each SARI Member State will be required to comment or formally accept / approve the SARI NPA Procedure before the end of August 2012 (Actions: SARI Coordinator to release draft NPA Procedure rev 4; SARI Member States to review, comment or approved the draft) 3. The SARI NPA G & S were presented. These two NPA have only been commented by CAAN so far. The SARI Coordinator reminded the SARI Member States they were formally required to comment or accept / approve the content of these NPA. A revision to the NPA will be issued before end of June 2012 to reflect the CAAN comments. The SARI Member States will be required to accept / approve these 2 NPA before the 31 st of August SARI emphasise the importance for the Member States to adopt the NPA S related to SMS in maintenance in order to meet the ICAO SARPS. (Actions: SARI Coordinator to release the revised NPA; SARI Member States SARI 145 WG-5th meeting Summary Final issue 2 / 6

3 to review, comment or approve the 2 NPA). 4. In order to keep SARI Part 145 as close as possible to EASA Part 145 and taking into account the EASA Parts reference that have been used to develop SARI Part 66 and SARI Part 147 as well as the future EASA Part M reference that may be used to develop SARI Part M, the SAR 145 WG agreed to adopt the EASA ED no 2011/011/R, 2010/006/R and 2010/002/R. The WG agreed that including 2012/004/R (B3 licence and others) would be premature. The 3 EASA ED mentioned above were reviewed by the WG. The following comments or actions were noted concerning 2010/002/R: 1. Item 60 Addition of ATA Chapter 47 to 28 Require clarification from EASA 2. Item 86 - Deletion of AMC 145.A.85 Request clarification from EASA 3.

4 information such as who keeps the Form 1, originals or copies. 6. Absence of DGCA India and CAA Pakistan did not allow reviewing the existing SARI Part 145 National Variants. Therefore the next SARI Part 145 revision to be published end of 2012 will still include National Variants. The absence of participation from several SARI CAAs is seriously questioning the SARI harmonisation process. The SARI Coordinator will inform EASA of the difficulties encountered in order EASA defines is policy concerning the technical support they provide to SARI.
