Transfer of aircraft continuing airworthiness records

M.A.307

M.A.307(a) Responsibilities

(a) When an aircraft is permanently transferred from one owner or operator to another, the transferring owner or operator shall ensure that the continuing airworthiness records referred to in point M.A.305 and, if applicable the technical log system referred to in point M.A.306, are also transferred.

AMC M.A.307(a) Termination of operation/ lease

Where an owner/operator terminates his operation, all retained continuing airworthiness records should be passed on to the new owner/operator or stored.
A ‘permanent transfer’ does not generally include the dry lease-out of an aircraft when the duration of the lease agreement is less than 6 months. However the competent authority should be satisfied that all continuing airworthiness records necessary for the duration of the lease agreement are transferred to the lessee or made accessible to them.

M.A.307(b) Transfer of records

(b) When the owner contracts the continuing airworthiness management tasks to a CAMO or CAO, the owner shall ensure that the continuing airworthiness records referred to in point M.A.305 are transferred to that contracted organisation.

M.A.307(c) Retention periods

(c) The time periods for the retention of records set out in point (e) of point M.A.305 shall continue to apply to the new owner, operator, CAMO or CAO.
