CHAPTER 9
SURVEILLANCE / AUDIT OF APPROVED ORGANIZATION
1. Introduction
1.1 DGCA has approved a number of organizations under various categories under Rule 133B. These
organizations are engaged in design, manufacture, maintenance, Continuing airworthiness Management,
testing, fuel storage and distribution, and training. It is DGCA’s responsibility that these organizations, once
approved, continue to function in compliance with the approval standards and are not allowed to degrade
from their initial level of approval. To fulfil this responsibility, surveillance/audit of approved organizations
is required to be carried out by RAO/SROs at least once in a year to assure that aviation licence, certificate,
authorisation and/or approval holders continue to meet the established requirements.
a) Surveillance is a planned inspection of an approved facility or part thereof, carried out at regular intervals
by the Airworthiness offices, to ensure adherence to the laid down requirements by approved
organizations for continued approval of DGCA. All the area of approved CAR 145/ CARM / CAR 147
organisations shall be covered with in a period of two years. By definition, Surveillance is the monitoring of
behaviour. Systems surveillance is the process of monitoring the behaviour of people, objects or processes
within systems, for conformity to expected or desired norms. Although the word surveillance in French
literally means "watching over", the term is often used for all forms of observation or monitoring. The word
surveillance is commonly used to describe observation from a distance. It is the examination and testing of
systems including sampling of products, and gathering of evidence, data, information and intelligence. The
planned inspections should include station facility, base facility and operator’s manuals. The various
checklists to be used by the officers while carrying out the surveillance of operators are available in
Appendix A.
b) Surveillance of Foreign Repair Organisation including Line Stations is a planned inspection of an approved
foreign maintenance facility/ line stations, carried out at regular intervals of 3 years by the Airworthiness
representatives, to ensure adherence to the laid down requirements by approved foreign maintenance
repair organizations / line stations for continued approval of DGCA. DAW, Hqrs shall prepare the plan for
such inspection and nominate Airworthiness representatives to carry out the inspection, subsequently duly
filled checklist (CAR-145) along with recommendation report on CA Form-6 to be submitted to DGCA Hqrs
for renewal of AMO. Surveillance of accepted foreign AMOs /line stations shall be carried out once in two
years.
c) Spot Checks : Apart from scheduled Surveillance checks & Regulatory Audits, it is also decided to carry out
the spot checks. Spot checks are unplanned checks and will be carried out to verify the effectivity of internal
audit system of any organisation and ensuring the continued compliance of previous DGCA audit/
surveillance findings. Spot Checks are product inspections carried out through random checks to observe
processes, and/or inspect aircraft, documents, and records. Spot Checks are designed to gather information
on particular facets of the aviation industry and are usually carried out independently of an audit. If a spot
check is likely to take more than half a day, then a special audit may be more appropriate. Compliance of
surveillance finding may be verified during spot checks.
d) Ramp Checks : Ramp checks are planned product inspections carried out to inspect aircraft at ramp during
schedule operation to verify the compliance of laid down regulation during operation of schedule airlines.
At least one ramp inspection per type of aircraft per operator shall be carried out quarterly. This
inspection may be carried out jointly with FSD representatives. In case, only an airworthiness
PART II
June, 2018 Page 2 of 256
representative is inspecting the aircraft, then only items related to airworthiness shall be checked
and remaining may be crossed.
e) Aircraft Continued Airworthiness Monitoring (ACAM): An ACAM in-depth Survey is a sample inspection of
the key risk elements (KREs) and should be performed during scheduled/extensive maintenance of an
aircraft. Chapter-3E of this manual provides guidance on KREs that can be used for planning and/or analysis
of the inspections. Check list for physical survey of aircraft may be supplemented along with ACAM
Checklist, if considered necessary.
1.2. Regulatory Audits
Besides the surveillance, regulatory audits will be carried out during the year wi th an aim to
ascertain the internal control of any organization in its activities and to ensure compliance of
regulatory requirements. DGCA has issued manual of regulatory audit which provides comprehensive
instruction and procedures for the conduct of regulatory audit by the officers and is made available in
DGCA website.
1.3 SOFA Inspection
Under Article 16 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, States are entitled to search
aircraft from other States on landing and departure and to inspect the certificates and other
documents. Further, paragraph 4.2.2.2 of ICAO Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft, Part I —
International Commercial Air Transport — Aeroplanes) also requires that States shall establish a
programme with procedures for the surveillance of operations in their territory by a foreign
operator and for taking appropriate action when necessary to preserve safety . The SOFA
inspections will be carried out jointly by the Airworthiness officers and FSD representatives. The
procedure for inspection and post inspection activities are to be followed as per the detailed in
CAP 8500.
1.4 Night Surveillance Checks
The purpose of Night Surveillance is to ensure that operators do not compromise to any
procedures, deployment of necessary manpower, release of aircraft without proper defect
rectification, extend MELs due to absence of managerial supervision at night or any other reason.
The random inspections shall include station facility, base facility and operator’s manuals. A
standard checklist as per Surveillance procedure Manual for the night surveillance may be used as
a guideline by Airworthiness Officers while carrying out night surveillance. The various checklists to
be used by the officers while carrying out the surveillance of operators are available in Appendix A.
1.5 Surveillance of OJT and procedure for issuance of recommendation of AME licence shall be carried out as
per the prescribed check lists.
2. Procedure
The process of surveillance will consist of the following elements:

- Planning
- Preparation
- Conduct
PART II
- Reporting
- Finalization
- Follow-up Monitoring and improvement
2.1 Planning
(i) It is desired that all the aviation activities of the approved organization are subjected to surveillance
inspection at least once a year. A comprehensive surveillance programme has been prepared with inputs
from all RO/SROs. It has been attempted that all areas of a manufacture, maintenance, continuing
airworthiness Management, fuel storage and distribution, and training organization CAR 145 approved
maintenance organization are covered by surveillance. Officers Airworthiness Directorate are required to
keep a note of their assignments and ensure that the assignments are fully discharged.
(ii) Regional/Sub-regional offices shall prepare an organization-wise calendar of surveillance activity and
provide the same to DGCA Headquarters well before end of the year for preparation of DGCA annual
surveillance program for the forthcoming year. The annual surveillance program will be published in the
DGCA website. The objective of surveillance program should be providing more thrust in the risk areas of
the operators identified through root cause analysis of previous surveillance findings. Areas like compliance
of all requirements for continuation of EDTO approvals by operators and ACAM should also be covered in
the surveillance program. The surveillance programme of the entire year may be intimated to the
respective organizations with the proposed dates advising them to carry out their internal audits of the
respective areas, prior to the proposed surveillance inspections.
2.2 Preparation
It is imperative that the surveillance is carried out by teams consisting of at least two members, the senior
being the team leader as per the annual surveillance plan. Due to certain exigency, deviation from the
annual surveillance program may be permitted by head of the office and the reason to be reflected in the
monthly surveillance report. The teams may comprise of DDAW and ADAW/ AWO or ADAW and AWO.
Contracted consultants may be used as member of Audit team in place of regular officer.
(i) The team should start preparing for the surveillance activity a few days in advance. The following should
be studied:
- Internal audit report of the concerned activity;
- Relevant regulation or other applicable standards;
- Company Expositions and other departmental manuals;
- Approved documents like Maintenance Programme, MEL, Technical log etc. as required;
- All maintenance data
- Previous surveillance findings and action taken information. This maybe in the form of
completed/closed audit finding forms or file correspondence.
- Customized checklist etc.
(ii) The QCM/QM/Post holders or one representative of the approved organisation familiar with the area
being surveyed be associated with the inspection. This is done to enable the organization to provide
any clarifications on the spot and to ensure that the findings are immediately known to the
organization.
(iii) During the preparation stage, the Lead Auditor and the Auditors should determine the depth of
sampling required to verify each system. For example where history indicates that an Organization has
adequate systems, a small sampling may be sufficient to confirm that the situation has not changed.
PART II
Where history indicates recurring problems with a system, a greater level of sampling would be
appropriate.
2.3 Conduct of Surveillance
(i). The surveillance should be objective, without any bias, with a view to detect any weakness and
deficiency in the practice and procedure followed by the organisation in the light of the requirements
laid down by DGCA/ manufacturer and should be used as a tool for enhancing airworthiness/ safety
standards.
(ii). Prior to commencement of the surveillance, a briefing meeting beheld, explaining the purpose and
scope of the surveillance. Open issues of the previous audits, organization’s internal audit findings
and corrective actions may also be discussed during the briefing.
(iii). Inspections will sample the organization’s activities. Investigation should be to a depth that will
enable a judgment to be made on the ability of the organization’s systems to deliver a safe and
compliant outcome. The method to follow is to determine how well the organisation accomplishes
the process being assessed. To do this, the team should seek to ascertain whether or not the
organization’s processes are:
- Managed by a suitable and qualified person and department;
- Supported by policies and procedures (written or informal) that are sufficiently detailed, and are
understood;
- Supported by adequate infrastructure;
- Compliant with legislation;
- Put into practice and achieve their objectives;
- Controlled;
- Measured, reviewed and improved;
- Interfaced effectively with other persons and departments.
(iv) As the officers are always in the public eye, they are expected to exercise good judgment and
professional behaviour at all times while on and off duty. It is imperative that all the officers be
sensitive to the responsibilities and demands of their positions and be objective and impartial while
performing their duties. Officers must conduct themselves while on-duty or off-duty in a manner that
will not cause the public to question their reliability and trustworthiness in carrying out their
responsibilities.
(v) To facilitate comprehensive surveillance / audit, a compilation of checklists covering most of the
engineering related aspects/areas of Organizations approved/ seeking approval in different Categories
by DGCA have been supplied to all officers of Airworthiness Directorate. This checklist shall be used
while carrying out surveillance / audit, as per the program drawn out so that the surveillance is
comprehensive and meaningful. The contents of checklists are to be treated as general guidance of
DGCA requiring adherence by approved organizations. The officer may use relevant regulations,
approved organization policy (ies), maintenance data etc. for reference whenever check lists are found
not adequate to cover activities of the organization.
(vi) Surveillance in the areas of ETOPS/EDTO should be two fold in nature

a. Continuing surveillance in the all elements of reliability control of the Aircraft and engine
combination performing the ETOPS/EDTO operation so as to ensure that the fleet wise approval
PART II
granted to the operator is always upheld. Detailed guidance regarding the above are available in
chapter 24B and 29.
b. Annual Surveillance with the dedicated checklist with an aim to ensure the effectiveness of
continuing surveillance programme as mentioned in Para (a) above.
2.4 Collecting Evidence
Evidence is collected during the conduct of an audit with relevant information recorded in the Audit
Worksheet to support the final audit findings. It should be obtained with the knowledge of the Auditee and
verified for correctness and completeness. Evidence includes:
• Oral evidence – record date, time, details of conversation on Audit Worksheet;

• Notes taken during an audit;
• Documents sighted during the audit – reference the document and page numbers;
• Copies of documents and records – verified where necessary for correctness and completeness.
• Photographs (record time, date, place and photographer on worksheet);
• Video recordings (record time, date, place and video operator on worksheet); and
• Physical evidence such as original document, records or defective parts.
2.5 Discontinuing an Audit / Surveillance
The decision to discontinue an audit must be made by the relevant Head of the Office. However, in
threatening situations, an individual Auditor may discontinue an audit. In such an event, the Lead Auditor
and Head of the Office must be informed at the earliest opportunity. Events that may prevent an audit
continuing include:
• The safety of the audit team is at risk;
• The objective of the audit becomes unattainable due to access limitations;
• Hindrance, harassment or aggressive behaviour of the Auditee;
• Non-availability of Auditee’s key staff; or
• Enforcement action is assessed as being more appropriate to discontinuing an audit, Airworthiness
officers must draw the Auditee’s attention to the delegation of powers under Aircraft Rules 1937 read
with the Government of India then Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism Notification No.: S.O. 727(E)
dated the 4th October 1994.
2.6 Report Finalization
While pointing out the deficiencies, it is important to note that the relevant Regulations /
Standards/Requirements /Expositions/Procedure manual/circulars should be clearly spelt out. Where
deficiencies are not covered by these documents, the same may be treated as suggestion for improvement.
If such deficiencies are serious in nature affecting safety/airworthiness it should be brought to the notice
of Headquarters immediately for laying down the standards /requirements if necessary. However, they
should be firm in their decision for upholding rules & regulations/ requirements. Surveillance records must
be kept in a clear manner and provide a chronological history of surveillance activities and events.
2.7. Reporting
On completion of the surveillance, the deficiencies observed by the inspecting officers should be listed and
discussed in a debriefing meeting with Accountable Manager and/or relevant Post holder(s). After final
PART II
discussion, deficiencies noticed shall be listed on Deficiency Reporting Form, which will have a unique
number. For example:
[DRF/ WR/yyyy/Name of the Org. /Issue No. dated dd/mm/yy].
2.8 Deficiency Reporting Form (Form CA-2001)
For every deficiency observed, a deficiency reporting forms (DRF) will be made. If the organisation has
already taken necessary rectification action to the satisfaction of Airworthiness Office before the de-
briefing meeting the same need not be listed in the DRF. The findings may be classified as Level l and Level
2. For categorization of level of findings guideline given in AAC no. 2 of 2011 shall be followed.
Resolution of deficiencies observed during surveillance shall be dealt in line with guidelines as given in
Enforcement Circular No. 1/2009. To ensure continued airworthiness of an operator's fleet during a strike
or labour dispute or called by the personnel of an approved organization, special emphasis shall be placed
on the activities of the organization. A copy of CA- 2001 is placed as Appendix- A.
2.9 Monitoring
(i) All deficiencies observed during surveillance / inspection shall be followed up and monitored for on
time receipt of compliance report with root cause analysis.
(ii) The audit team leader will review the compliance action and if satisfied may close the DRF for level-
2 findings. However for level-1 findings the DRF to be closed by Head of the office after discussing the
compliance action with audit team leader.
(iii) At Headquarters, a review of surveillance activities of various RO/SROs is taken by the Director
General every month. In the review meeting, the surveillance activities of various offices for the
previous month are discussed.
3. General
3.1 Authorization Cards for Airworthiness Officers: Authorization cards have been provided to all
officers who need to have access to any place for carrying out any functions of inspection of aircraft
or documents under rule 156 of the Indian Aircraft Rules 1937. Officers are advised to carry the
updated and valid card for carrying out any inspection.
3.2 In case the activities of the organization are being performed continuously round the clock due to
shortage of personnel, our officers should be deployed on shift duties for effective surveillance, as
deemed necessary. It will be the responsibility of the Regional/sub-Regional office to determine
the extent and locations, where additional surveillance is needed and to make necessary
arrangements to depute his officers accordingly.
3.3 Under no Circumstances Airworthiness Officers shall not express opinions on strike or labour
dispute and issues involved, nor shall any such opinions be expressed in public or press.
PART II
3.4 A report shall be forwarded to Headquarters giving the extent of the operator's plan of action to
comply the regulations during such contingencies. Headquarters should also be kept informed of
any serious deficiencies noticed along with the details of action taken by the Regional Offices.
4 Surveillance of Leased Aircraft
4.1 Civil Aviation Requirements, Section 3, Series ‘C’ part-I lays down the criteria for leasing of aircraft
by Indian Operators.
4.2 Indian operator takes a foreign registered aircraft on lease, charter or any similar arrangement
from a person holding AOC issued by another contracting State;
4.3 Indian operator gives an Indian registered aircraft on lease to an operator outside India;
4.4 Indian operator borrows an aircraft on lease from another Indian operator, (for domestic or
international operations).
4.5 While the administrative permissions, including process for permission from Ministry of Civil
Aviation, for leasing of the aircraft is handled by the Air Transport Directorate, the Airworthiness
Directorate shall carryout the surveillance of leased aircraft as long as the aircraft is operated under
AOP issued by DGCA.
4.6 For leased aircraft as per para 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, the surveillance will cover airworthiness aspects in
accordance with the ramp inspection check list. The bilateral agreement under Article 83 bis of
ICAO convention, if signed between the DGCA and State of Operator may also be examined to
define the scope of inspection in each case.
4.7 For aircraft on leased operations as per para 4.1.2, Airworthiness officers will be deputed, at least
once in six month, for carrying out inspections of maintenance facilities where the aircraft will
normally be based in the State of Operator. The CAA of the State of Operator shall be kept informed
of such inspections and local CAA may also be co-opted to participate in such inspections.
5 The surveillance check lists are as follows in Appendix A.
6 Record Keeping:
All RAO/ SRAO should maintain the yearly Surveillance inspection records operator wise. This will facilitate
assessment of weak operator in a particular year and to further enhance the number of Surveillance
accordingly in the next year programme. All the records for any Surveillance carried out such as completed
checklist, DRF (CA- 2001) and any other supporting documents in support of closure of findings etc. should
be kept together for easy reference. Yearly record for root cause analysis should be maintained identifying
the weak operator and the weak areas. Surveillance and Enforcement Division (SED) of DGCA (Hqrs) should
maintain Surveillance record yearly for all the Directorates of DGCA including root cause analysis.

qualified staff for the expected work? Para-
0.3.8
The actual number of persons to be employed and their
necessary qualifications is dependent upon the tasks to
be performed and thus dependent on the size and
complexity of the organisation (general aviation
aircraft, corporate aircraft, number of aircraft and the
PART II
aircraft types, complexity of the aircraft and their age

and for commercial air transport, route network, line
or charter, EDTO) and the amount and complexity of
maintenance contracting. Consequently, the number of
persons needed, and their qualifications may differ
greatly from one organisation to another and a simple
formula covering the whole range of possibilities is not
feasible.
Additional training in fuel tank safety as well as

associated inspection standards and maintenance
procedures should be required of continuing
airworthiness management organizations’ technical
personnel, especially the staff involved with the
management of CDCCL, Service Bulletin assessment,
work planning and maintenance programme
management. DGCA guidance is provided for training
to Continuing Airworthiness Management
Organizations’ continuing airworthiness personnel in

updated in the CAME the title(s) and name(s) of person(s)
referred to in points M.A.706(a), M.A.706(c), M.A.706(d)
and M.A.706(i)?
To enable DGCA to accept the number of persons and

their qualifications, an organisation should make an
analysis of the tasks to be performed, the way in which
it intends to divide and/or combine these tasks, indicate
how it intends to assign responsibilities and establish
the number of man/hours and the qualifications needed
to perform the tasks. With significant changes in the
aspects relevant to the number and qualifications of
persons needed, this analysis should be updated
