Which of the following best describes the responsibilities of CAMO?

• A. Management of Airworthiness
• B. Flight Scheduling and Dispatch
• C. Ground Handling Operations
• D. Procurement and Inventory Control

Answer: (A)

CAMO is focused on keeping the aircraft legally and technically fit to fly over its entire life. This means actively managing the continuing airworthiness of the aeroplane—keeping its airworthiness status current, ensuring compliance with regulations, and maintaining the records, maintenance program, and documentation that prove the aircraft remains airworthy. In practice, this includes monitoring applicable Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins, managing life-limited parts, coordinating with maintenance providers, and ensuring the aircraft configuration and documentation reflect any changes. The other options describe functions outside CAMO’s remit—flight scheduling and dispatch cover operations planning, ground handling is about on-the-ground services, and procurement/inventory control deals with parts and materials.
