D3.1 In order to enable an assessment of the suitability of an organization for approval, the applicant
shall comply with the requirements of this Air Navigation Order. The information provided by the
organization, including the organization procedures, shall be evaluated against the company exposition
manual, PCAA rules and relevant documents. When assessing an organization for approval, the
airworthiness directorate will examine the systems used to control all manufacturing activities. This will
include, where applicable:-
D4.2 An exposition manual must assure the PCAA that the organization is in documentary compliance
with the rules. Hence before the PCAA allows an organization to entry into the system, the exposition
manual must be accepted by the Director General.
D5.1 An exposition manual may be produced as a single volume or any number of separate manuals
depending on an organization’s structure and size. Separate manuals should cover the following
chapters:-
D5.2 If the exposition manual comprises more than one volume, the make up of the exposition manual
and the content of individual manuals must be described in the management part of the exposition
manual.
D5.3 Procedures should be established to ensure Managers hold copies of those parts of an
exposition manual which affect their areas of responsibility and staffs are familiar with those parts of an

material as Airworthiness Directorate may require.
D5.8 The version of manufacture organization approval by PCAA shall dependent upon the applicant
demonstrating compliance with the requirements laid down by PCAA for such organization.
Note: PCAA approved organizations when undertaking work outside their terms of Approval is deemed
to be unapproved.
D6.1 The acceptance of an organization’s exposition manual by the Director General will be one step
in the process of the approval. After the acceptance of the exposition manual, an audit will be conducted
with reference to the exposition manual and other relevant rules. Only after the satisfactory report of the
audit, the Manufacturing Organization Certificate can be versioned. Evidence of acceptance of the
exposition is the version of a certificate; however the PCAA will normally stamp the pages of the
exposition manual to signify that they have found the exposition acceptable at a particular status.
D7.1 When an organization seeks certification under more than one Civil Aviation Rule Part each of
which requires an exposition manual, it may be possible for some parts of the exposition manual to be
common to each certificate.
D7.2 For instance, if the same management set-up is used for each certificate, the management and
policy part of the exposition manual could be common. Equally, all of the quality assurance procedures
for one or more certificates could be placed in one manual.
D7.3 Whatever format of exposition manual is chosen, it must be possible to clearly show how the
requirements of each Part are satisfied. It is desirable that a compliance matrix is provided showing
where compliance is shown in the exposition manual for each Part. This matrix should distinguish
between those requirements which are common and those which are specific.
D8.1.1 Manufacture those appliances and parts specified on the certificate and detailed in the holder’s
exposition.
D8.1.2 Version airworthiness release certificates for those appliances and parts stating that the product
conforms to the Certificate of Type Design and is in a condition for safe operation.
D9.1 Subject to compliance with the requirements of this ANO, an organization may engage in
activities as stated in the Certificate of Approval.
D10.1 On every renewal, the Airworthiness Directorate may perform an audit of the organization as per
scope of approval. This will also include the organizations base within the country and abroad. The
expenditures on the outstation(s) audit abroad will be at no cost to PCAA. The organization will have to
apply for renewal on form (CAAF-102-AWXX) in duplicate along with the following documents at least 03
months before the expiry date of the certificate:
D11.1 An organization may apply for extension in the scope of approval on appropriate PCAA form in
duplicate along with the following documents:
D11.2 After receiving the above documents, fee, etc., an audit with reference to the capability list will be
carried out.
D12.1 An application to amend a manufacturing certificate is made in the same form and manner as the
original version. Where the changes include changes to the manufacturing organization’s exposition
manual, only the changes need to be submitted.
D12.2 Since a manufacturing certificate may be amended for several different purposes, the following
paragraphs provides examples as to which method is applicable, in different circumstances:
D12.2.1 The holder of a manufacturing certificate may make an application to add a supplemental type
certificate or design approval to the manufacturing certificate. Upon evaluation and approval of the
process control data and manufacturing facilities, as applicable, the PCAA will version a new certificate.
The new certificate will automatically cancel the existing one.
D12.2.2 When manufacture of completed products as well as spare parts has ceased, the holder of a
manufacturing certificate should request deletion of the applicable supplemental type certificate or design
approval from the manufacturing certificate. This can be accomplished by writing to the PCAA. A revised
certificate will be issued and any superseded certificate would be revoked.
D12.3 If the holder of a manufacturing certificate ceases to manufacture complete products, but
continues to manufacture replacement parts, the certificate does not require an amendment.
D13.1 When the holder of a manufacturing certificate changes their organization in such a way as to
necessitate a revision of their manuals or exposition manual, the PCAA is to be kept informed in writing.
An acceptable means of compliance with the notification requirements is to notify the PCAA in writing of
any changes. The PCAA’s agreement to the change may be more readily obtained if the proposed
wording of the change is fully defined and any supplementary information is provided to assist the PCAA
in deciding whether the change is acceptable.
D13.2 A change of supplier or in the delegation of quality functions to suppliers, which results in a
change to the exposition manual of the holder of a manufacturing certificate should be considered as a
change to the holder’s process control system.
D14.1 The PCAA operates a safety audit programme for all participants in the aviation system. The
visits will be notified in advance. These arrangements will allow for forward planning by both the PCAA
and the certificated organizations.
D14.2 An organization’s policy and procedures will be accepted by the PCAA during the entry process.
These policies and procedures, documented in an organization’s exposition manual, will form the agreed
performance standard for an organization’s safety audit programme. This safety audit programme will
initially examine the certificate holder’s internal quality assurance system. Any deficiency found at this
level will result in a broader and deeper investigation until the causal factors of the deficiency are
identified. The on-going frequency and depth of audit will depend directly on the performance of the
organization.
D14.3 PCAA’s level of confidence in an organization will be raised when it is found to comply with its
documented procedures. PCAA may then consider reducing the frequency and depth of the audit
programme. Conversely where the level of confidence is low, due to non-compliance, the level of auditing
may be expected to increase. Whenever it is discovered, through an audit or other reporting method, that
an organization is not conforming to its procedures, or complying with the PCAA rules, the Director
General may suspend or revoke the certificate.
D15.1 The certificate of type approval, supplementary type certificate and production certificate will be
issued by PCAA in accordance with the procedures manual for certificate of type approval,
supplementary type certificate and production certificate, for aircraft below 5700 kg, duly approved by the
Director General. For further information regarding the issuance of a certificate of type approval,
supplementary type certificate and production certificate the latest version of ANO related to type
approval, supplementary type certificate and production certificate.
D16.1 As per Annex 8, which states that when a Contracting State, other than the State of Design,
versions a Type Certificate for an aircraft type, it shall do so on the basis of satisfactory evidence that the
aircraft type is in compliance with the design aspects of the appropriate airworthiness requirements. In
such cases, the organization will version a certificate of compliance stating that the aircraft manufactured
is in compliance with the design standards of the state of design and with the airworthiness requirements
(Refer Para D29 and Annex ‘C’ and ‘D’ for the Certificate of Compliance).
D17.1 A production certificate will be issued to the approved organization stating the type of product to
be manufactured (Refer Para D16 above).
D18.1 If an organization decides to cease manufacturing activity, this rule requires the certificate holder
to notify the PCAA. A letter should be sent to the Airworthiness Directorate PCAA, together with the
certificate, within 30 days of ceasing activity.
D19.1 A liaison office headed by a qualified officer is to be established by the manufacturer for the
purpose of coordination on all matters relating to airworthiness and also to act as a contact point with the
Airworthiness Directorate, PCAA.
D20.1.1 Authorizations to sign authorized released certificates (ARC) shall comply with the following:-
D20.1.1.1 Persons authorized to sign Authorized Released Certificates (ARC) are required to have
personal shop approvals issued by the Airworthiness Directorate. Shop approval to personnel are NOT

D20.2.2 Before the release of an aircraft for it first production test flight, a duplicate inspection of
all vital points and control system in an aircraft shall be carried out.
D20.2.3 Vital points / controls systems subject to duplicate inspection must not be disturbed or re-
adjusted after the first certified inspection and the second part of the duplicate inspection must, as nearly
as possible, follow immediately after the first part. In some circumstances, due to peculiarities of
assembly or accessibility, it may be necessary for both parts of the inspection to be made
simultaneously. It is, therefore, desirable that the inspections of a control system are made as near as is
practicable to the time of the intended flight and that the full extent of the disturbance is understood by
both persons who carry out the duplicate inspections.
D20.2.4 If a vital / control system is disturbed after completion of the duplicate inspection, that
part, that has been disturbed, shall again be inspected in duplicate and a certificate of release to service
issued before the aircraft flies. The duplicate inspection shall be the final operation to establish the
integrity of the vital point / control system when all the work has been completed and shall take into
account all the relevant instructions and information contained in the associated technical data.
D20.2.5 Persons qualified to make the first and / or second part of duplicate inspection are as

D24.1 This rule details the process control elements of a manufacturing organization. These elements
ensure that conformity is assured at each step of manufacture. Process control includes provisions for:-
D24.1.1 SUPPLY:
D24.1.1.1 Supply is generally referred to in relation to those activities where items enter the
organization. The holder of a manufacturing certificate is responsible for any parts, assemblies or
services used in the manufacture of their product. The holder’s procedures should include methods to
monitor and control all parts or services obtained from suppliers and all suppliers to whom the holder has
delegated inspection duties for controlling conformity and quality.
Note: The requirements for the Approval of Suppliers, Stockiest and Distributors have been laid down
in the latest version of ANO-010-AWXX.
D24.1.2.1 To provide control over the fabrication and assembly operations and to ensure that
necessary inspections and tests are conducted in the proper sequence, production planning procedures
should be utilized. The manufacturing organization should establish its production procedures taking into
consideration:
D24.1.2.2 The process control procedures would include, for a non-destructive inspection as an
example:
Note: Any subcontracted work is considered to be an extension of the manufacturer’s organization and
should be controlled by the manufacturer’s procedures.
D24.1.3.1 The manufacturer should establish and comply with test and inspection procedures
applicable to the products. These procedures should include:
D24.1.3.2 The holder of a manufacturing certificate should establish procedures for dealing with
materials and parts not conforming to the type design or specifications. These procedures should enable
the manufacturing organization to:-
D24.1.3.2.1 Control the identification, rework, and use of non-conforming parts, including the isolation
and scrapping of unusable parts.
D24.1.3.2.2 Ensure that any parts which will not conform to the type design are not used until the
necessary design changes have been approved.
D24.1.3.2.3 Provide for corrective action with regard to discrepancies in manufacturing procedures,
processes, designs, or any other condition which caused the non-conforming parts, to ensure that all
affected and subsequent products will be in conformity with the type design.
D24.1.3.2.4 Maintain charts or records to show the effectiveness of the corrective action program and
to reveal problem areas as they arise.
D24.1.3.2.5 Ensure that only those parts and processes which have been accepted and found to
conform to acceptable design data are used in the product.
D24.1.4 STORES:
D24.1.4.1 Stores are generally referred to in relation to those activities where items move within the
organization. The stores system in many manufacturing organizations is linked closely to the supply
system. The stores system is generally the internal supply processes controlling product and material
distribution and flow through the organization. The latest version of Airworthiness Notice AWNOT-006-
AWXX may also be referred to as a guide line.
D24.1.5 VERSION:
D24.1.5.1 Although normally associated with the completed product, a manufacturing organization
may version products from one production area to another, either directly or through a stores control
mechanism.
D24.1.5.2 At each stage where a product leaves a production area the version may be controlled
by a statement of compliance. This is the confirmation by an authorized company person that the
product, whether complete or at a step in the process:
D25.1 The manufacturing organization has a responsibility to ensure that the products manufactured
are monitored and supported. These include monitoring of investigations and analysis defects, which if
corrected may aid production or make the item easier to use, resulting in an economic advantage to
operating and maintenance organizations. The term ‘Defect’ as stated in latest version of Airworthiness
Notice No. AWNOT-009-AWXX, means, any failure or malfunction of an aircraft component or aircraft
equipment whether found in-flight or on the ground. As per notice, every operator shall supply information
of ‘Abnormal Defects’ to the manufacturer. Defects that may result in injury, accidents, or hazards to
other aviation activities are considered abnormal defects.
D25.2 Under this rule, the manufacturing organization has a responsibility to keep the users of products
which they manufacture and the designer of those products informed of abnormal defects. The defect
reporting responsibility of a manufacturing organization will generally cover those product features that
are causing a problem that are introduced by poorly controlled manufacturing processes and poor
material performance rather than design faults or maintenance practices. Defect reporting to the PCAA is
covered in the latest version of Airworthiness Notice No. AWNOT-009-AWXX.
D25.3 For in-service products, the holder of a manufacturing certificate should establish procedures for
recording, investigating cause, and assuring corrective action of all known or reported failures,
malfunctions, and defects. Procedures should ensure that:
D25.3.1 In-service problems are investigated and prompt corrective action is taken on all affected
products as appropriate.
D25.3.2 Users of the product are informed of the service difficulties and resultant changes
through Service Bulletins (Refer Para D26).
D25.3.3 Feedback on service problems is received from the users of the products to the extent
practicable.
D25.4 The procedures required may form part of a totally integrated quality control system.
D26.1 After receiving feedback on service problems from the user of the product, it will be the
responsibility of the manufacturer to analyze the problem of the repetitive abnormal defects and inform
the user for any modification or inspection that is required to be embodied on the product. This is to be
informed through service bulletins. The service bulletins are to contain the following information / topics:
D27.1.9.1 Description
D27.1.9.2 Reference
D27.1.9.3 Change in Weight and Balance

D26.2 Keeping in view of the type of mod or inspection, the SB maybe categorized such as Mandatory
SB, Critical SB, Alert SB, etc. The categorization is to be defined in the company exposition manual.
D26.3 After every 01 year, a Service Bulletin index containing a list of all the pervious SBs is to be sent
by the manufacturer to all the operators and to the authorities where the aircraft has been registered
including PCAA.
D27.1 This will be applicable if the product manufactured is an aircraft - The manufacturer has to prove
that the aircraft fabric meets the requirements mentioned in the current version of Airworthiness Notice
No. AWNOT-029-AWXX
D28.1 This will be applicable if the product manufactured is an aircraft - A production test flight will be
carried out after completion of each product and a certificate of compliance (CAAF-022-AWXX and
CAAF-023-AWXX) will be issued. The procedures of the production test flight are to be laid down in the
company exposition manual.
Note: When an aircraft is to be exported from Pakistan, Airworthiness will version an Export Certificate
of Airworthiness (Refer latest version of ANO-004-AWXX).
D29.1 This will be applicable if the product manufactured is an aircraft - To determine the basic weight
and center of gravity, the aircraft is to be weighed after its final assembly.
D30.1 The Organization holds and makes available to both, personnel and PCAA, all technical
publications appropriate to the class of work covered by the Approval. Suitable arrangements are made
to ensure that these documents are kept amended and up-to-date. Necessary procedures for developing
maintenance manuals, wiring diagram manual, flight manual, structural repair manual, etc are to be
stated in the exposition manual.
D31. RECORDS:
D31.1 Manufacturing records - The holder of a manufacturing certificate should provide procedures that
ensure correct technical data control, including:
D31.1.1 Only applicable drawings, drawing change notices, engineering data, and quality control
data are available to production and inspection personnel.
D31.1.2 That unauthorized, inappropriate, and obsolete drawings and data are promptly removed
from production areas.
D31.1.3 Prior to final acceptance of products or parts, all changes to the type design are either
incorporated in the applicable drawings, or described in change notices attached to such drawings.
D31.2 For airworthiness certification and recording compliance with the airworthiness requirements, all
significant inspection and test records attesting to the conformity and safety of the completed part or
product are required to be retained.
D31.3 The procedures should detail the method of identification of records that are no longer current,
but are required to be held for research or other purposes.
D31.4 As the records should be legible and of a permanent nature, the retention of facsimile paper
records should be avoided due to its likelihood of fading.
D31.5 Records can be kept electronically but systems should ensure the information security, integrity,
and retrieval. A system of backing up electronic data would be considered appropriate. Procedures for
electronic record and document keeping should consider:
D31.6 For ease of access records may also be computerized but the original documents should be
retained in a secure environment. The rule requires the ideal retention of records to be 2 years from the
date of the withdrawal of the last example of the product from service. This is a very onerous requirement
but ensures that the information is available no matter how long the product remains in service. The rule
recognizes the need for varying this time limit in special cases. The cases that may support the reduction
of this period will vary considerable but may include, but not be limited to, the following:
D31.6.1 The only examples of the product being used are installed on aircraft limited to
experimental operations.
D31.6.2 The number of products is finite and the necessary information can be provided to each
owner for inclusion in the product’s service records.
D31.6.3 Although products still exist, the likelihood of restoring an operating example of the
product is considered extremely rare.
D31.6.4 The supplemental type certificate is cancelled and the owners of each example of the
product informed as to the non-type certificated nature of the product.

D32.2 The records may be kept in any format but must be controlled by the organization’s quality
assurance senior person. Safeguards must be put in place to ensure that the records cannot be altered in
an unauthorized way. Personal information must not be accessible to unauthorized persons.
Organizations should take account of Privacy of Information legislation in the management of personal
information.
D32.3 The persons to whom the records relate should be given access, on request, to his or her own
records. The PCAA is an authorized person in respect of any aviation documents and records. When the
PCAA is assessing eligibility for initial or continued approval, or when it has cause to doubt the
competence of a particular certifying person, it may access those records.
D32.4 An organization should keep the records for at least five years after the individual has ceased to
be in its employment, or after withdrawal of the authorization, whichever is sooner. In addition certifying
persons, on leaving an organization, must be provided with a complete record of company certification
authorizations which they have held.

developing the procedures, traceability, preservation and neatness of record are to be included.
D33.1 According to recent publications, reports, etc, on aviation safety, between 70 and 80 per cent of
aircraft accidents are due to human factors. Many of these accidents could have been avoided if basic
human factors concepts had been observed. Several incidents have a contributing factor fatigue due to
excessive hours of work. Excessive hours of work and constant pressure are two vital factors that lead to
errors. To reduce the contributing factor fatigue due to excessive hours of work and constant pressure,
the organization should employ sufficient personnel to plan, supervise and inspect the activities included
in the approval. Keeping the above points in view, the organization is required to:
D33.2 Have sufficient personnel employed to plan, supervise and inspect the activities, and
D34.1 The organization shall ensure that all personnel receive initial and refreshers training appropriate
