Licensed Engineer

[Appoo]

I'm just about to go for my company approval with my first type and have been asked to research several areas concerned with quality issues and company procedures. An area I am struggling with is a clear concise statement regarding licensed engineers certification privilages. I'm not totally sure what our quality manager is after and I don't want to go in and waffle.

Any help appreciated.

Your Part 145 MOE shouild provide the answers you need, and you're meant to know what's in it as part of holding an authorisation.

I know what I'm responsible for but what I was after was a short definitive answer, which I think I've now found after following a note I'd made in my M10 book.
