If you’re operating an approved maintenance facility, part of the approval for an aircraft type is that the organisation has the necessary publications necessary to carry out the work in the scope of work.
Thats not necessarily true - In the case of the Part M controlled environment for easa types, the MO only has to have it available when doing the job. the CAMO must hold the manuals, and tells the MO what to do, and gives the MO the required data. Thus in this case the cost of the manuals would be met by the CAMO, who would retrieve the costs in their CAMO charges.
