Part 26 Compliance for Aircraft Owners and Operators in Respect of 26.370

A change to the UK Regulation (EU) 2015/640 (Part 26) in 2021 introduced a requirement for continuing structural integrity programme for ageing aircraft structures, placing some obligations on the Type Certificate Holder (TCH) of UK registered aircraft and the Supplementary Type Certificate Holder (STCH) where the STC is embodied on a UK registered aircraft.

Additionally, aircraft owners, operators and Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMO) of aircraft within the scope of that Regulation are required to implement any necessary amendments to the aircraft maintenance programme (AMP) in line with 26.370.

ORS4 No. 1619 exemption has been issued to extend the time limit of 26 February 2025 to allow sufficient time for the AMPs to be updated with the information obtained from the respective TCHs and STCHs.
