FAR 91.1423 — CAMP Maintenance Organization

FAR 91.1423 sets organizational requirements for fractional ownership program managers who maintain aircraft under a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP). The rule ensures both the program manager and any contractor performing maintenance work are properly structured to do that work safely and competently.

Key requirements:

• Adequate organization for maintenance work: Any program manager (or person they hire) performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations — other than required inspections — must have an organization capable of doing the work.
• Adequate organization for required inspections: Anyone performing required inspections under §91.1427(b)(2) or (3) must also have an adequate organization for that work.
• Separation of functions: When the same person performs both required inspections and other maintenance, the required inspection function must be organizationally separated from other maintenance functions. That separation must occur below the level of administrative control where overall responsibility for both functions is exercised.

Why it matters: Separating required inspections from other maintenance prevents conflicts of interest and ensures an independent set of eyes verifies critical airworthiness items — a core safety principle in fractional ownership operations.
