DASR 66 Military Aircraft Maintenance Licence (MAML)
• A MAML is the Legal Authority, issued by DASA, whichpermits an individual to sign a Certificate of Release toService (CRS) following On Aircraft maintenance whenauthorised by their DASR 145 Maintenance Organisation.
• The MAML is based on the individual’s Qualifications,Training, Experience and maintenance Authorisations

Exercising (use of ) a Licence
• A Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) is requiredfollowing the completion of On-Aircraft maintenance IAWDASR 145.A.50(a)
• Only an authorised licence holder with the appropriateprivileges can sign an On-Aircraft CRS followingmaintenance.
12
UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
What is a Certificate of Release to Service (CRS)?
• A CRS is a statement, signed by an appropriately authorisedlicence holder, on behalf of an approved organisation, whichattests that maintenance has been properly carried-out.
• The CRS contains the basic details of the maintenancecarried out, the date that it was completed and the identityand licence number of the person issuing the certificate.
What does this mean?

UNCLASSIFIED
Exercising (use of ) a Licence
14
Signing the CRS means that :
– all maintenance ordered by the CAMO has been correctly& completely carried out, and
– there are no non-conformances which could affect flightsafety
The CRS issued by the 145 MO certifies the work specifiedwas carried out IAW DASR 145 and the Aircraft is ready forrelease to Service.
UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
Task certification vs Exercise of licence privileges
Task certification (task sign off):• demonstrates that the maintenance task has been correctly &
completely carried out• is signed by the person who undertook or supervised the task• is made by anyone authorised by the DASR 145 to
undertake/supervise that task• DOES NOT require the certifier to have a licence
Exercising a licence (signing a CRS):• demonstrates that all ordered maintenance has been carried out*• that there are no non-compliances that could endanger flight safety • Can ONLY be signed by an authorised licence holder

UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
Line Maintenance
Line Maintenance is:AMC 145.A.20 (AUS)• Line maintenance should be understood as any maintenance that is carried out before
flight to ensure that the aircraft is fit for the intended flight. Line maintenance may include:– Trouble shooting.– Defect rectification.– Component replacement with use of external test equipment if required.
Component replacement may include components such as engines and propellers/rotors.
– Scheduled maintenance and/or checks including visual inspections that will detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies but do not require extensive in depth inspection. It may also include internal structure, systems and power plant items which are visible through quick opening access panels/doors.
– Minor repairs and modifications which do not require extensive disassembly and can be accomplished by simple means.

Minimum Equipment requirements – Test flights• A Fight Test Operations Manual should be maintained by the organisation
conducting flight test in accordance with Design or Production Organisations Exposition.
– The organisation is not required to produce a specific flight test operations manual, providing that Orders, Instructions and Publications (OIP) issued covers the flight test operation manual elements including:
• procedures to identify the instruments and equipment to be carried
– It is the responsibility of the DASR 145 Maintenance Organisation to ensure that the instruments and equipment related to flight test are appropriately installed
