Audit elements covering turbine engine condition monitoring
programs (ECMP) are already included in the 2004/05 surveillance
program of airlines, and are reflected in the Control Group
Inspectors (CGI) Handbook. Furthermore, I am advised that after
2004/05, Airline Operations Branch will also add this element to
the audit list in its Regulatory Oversight System trial and will be
scoped according to risk. I understand that the CASA's General
Aviation Operations Branch has engine trend monitoring as an
element for aircraft maintenance audits. However, it is not
intended that this will be an element of particular focus.
