CAMO and AMO in Airworthiness: Roles, Differences and Keys to Air Safety

In the aeronautical sector, ensuring airworthiness is essential for safety, efficiency and regulatory compliance. Two key figures in this ecosystem are CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization) and AMO (Approved Maintenance Organization). Although they work in a complementary way, their responsibilities and functions are different. Here we explain what each one is and how they differ.

The 5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Selecting ATEX Tools

ATEX (Explosive Atmosphères) zones, regulated by the European Directive 2014/34/EU, present a working environment with a potential risk of explosion due to the presence of gases, flammable vapours or combustible dust. In these types of environments, choosing the right tool is not optional: it is a matter of operational safety.

What is an AMO and what tasks does it perform in the aeronautical ecosystem?

An AMO (Approved Maintenance Organization), also known in the United States as a Repair Station under the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) FAR Part 145, is an organization authorized by the competent authority to perform maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) tasks on aircraft, engines, components and systems. Their role is essential to guarantee the continued airworthiness and safety of operations.

Lean and 5S in aeronautical workshops: how to improve efficiency and safety with organizational solutions

In aircraft maintenance (MRO), efficiency is non-negotiable. Every minute of downtime represents a significant financial loss, and any error in traceability or tool control can put security and compliance at risk.

Aeronautical MRO: Real Technical Challenges Affecting Operations

In the world of aeronautical maintenance, every intervention is a meticulous choreography.

What is a CAMO and what is its main function?

In the demanding environment of civil aviation, where operational safety is a priority, CAMOs (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations) play an essential role. These organisations, approved by authorities such as EASA, are responsible for ensuring that aircraft are kept in optimal airworthiness throughout their useful life.

What is the aeronautical aftermarket: technical analysis for MRO professionals

In the aeronautical sector, the term aeronautical aftermarket refers to the set of activities, services and products related to MRO aeronautical maintenance and the management of spare parts after the initial sale of an aircraft.

What is an OSV (Overhaul Shop Visit) in aeronautical maintenance?

An in-depth intervention to return the engine or component to optimal conditions

Advanced Tool Management in Mining: Efficiency, Traceability and Safety

In mining, an unplanned stoppage can result in losses of tens of thousands of euros per hour. But in many operations — especially in regions where safety and maintenance culture is still taking shape — these interruptions don’t always receive the attention they deserve.

Torque Transducers in Offshore Wind: Keys to Maintenance and Efficiency

Offshore wind structures represent a fundamental pillar in the transition to renewable energy sources. However, their maintenance and the technical shutdowns necessary to ensure their operability require advanced tools that optimize safety and efficiency. In this context, torque transducers emerge as key devices in the monitoring and control of the operation of wind turbines.
