Who We Are
Standards
and Procedures (AARPE) is responsible for
the coordination and management of all regional maintenance and
manufacturing activities, other than those related to AME
Licensing and Training. This includes acting as a central
coordination and communication point for other Civil Aviation
Authorities where services may be required of the regions.
We ensure the consistent application of branch policies,
standards, and procedures, by coordinating all regional / HQ
communications and managing the quality assurance review program
for the measurement of departmental aircraft maintenance and
manufacturing activities. In monitoring these actions we interpret
and evaluate the effectiveness of existing policies and make
recommendations for change.
In carrying out
these tasks we manage the following projects:
Human Performance
Factors For Elementary Work and Servicing
Approved Organization Database This is a database of companies that
have been given Transport Canada approval and issued a certificate
to carry out any combination of Maintenance, Manufacturing and/or
Distribution activities. The information displayed for an Approved
Maintenance Organization (AMO) will be according to the
information held in our National Aviation Company Information
System (NACIS) which is updated by the regions and administered
from this Division.
List of Minister's Delegates - Maintenance (MD-M) This is a current list of all current
MD-Ms across Canada.
International Coordination
We
act at the central contact point for requests from other national
authorities and foreign organizations or persons requesting
services from our regional Transport
Canada Centers (TCC) (e.g.
conformity inspections, confirmation of certifications in support
of our international agreements, various flight authorities,
follow-up investigations, etc.).
Suspected Unapproved Parts (SUP) Office
The purpose of SUP office is to support our industry both
nationally and internationally by coordinating and tracking
reports of SUPs in Canada and to advise all owners, operators,
maintenance entities, and manufacturers of a part produced without
proper production approval. We
work in concert with our aviation partners and additional
information may be obtained from our Information material regarding available material and presentations or the latest FAA
SUPs may be viewed from the FAA
SUP office site
Implementation
of New Rules and Exemptions In our efforts to ensure standards
are met it is recognized that the first step is initiated by
providing information on what the standards are about. Therefore,
we also develop and administer Information material
for informing our inspectors and the industry at large of
changes and developments in the our regulatory system.
