EASA Part 145: the contracted AMO
OK, another Devil's Advocate question with regard to a contracted AMO and issuing one-authorisations to third parties (individuals): what constitutes an "operator's contracted AMO"?
Is it the AMO contracted to provide the bulk of an operator's line and base needs? Or, is the operator - that quickly gets in touch with an AMO asking them to provide a one-off to an individual on hand to fix their aircraft in a remote location - entering into a contract if a PO or email instruction ensues?
I'm going with an AMO contracted to provide the bulk, etc...
I'd like other opinions.
