CAMP: Airworthiness release or aircraft maintenance log entry

Before a CAMP aircraft can fly after maintenance work, someone must document that the work was done properly. This documentation takes the form of either an airworthiness release or a maintenance log entry.

The release or log entry must follow the program manager's manual procedures and certify that: the work met manual requirements, all necessary inspections were completed by authorized personnel, no known airworthiness issues exist, and the aircraft is safe to fly regarding the work performed.

Normally, an authorized certificated mechanic must sign this documentation. However, if a Part 145 repair station did the work, someone authorized by that repair station may sign instead.

The program manager's manual can simplify this process by stating that an authorized mechanic's or repairman's signature automatically constitutes certification of all the required conditions, rather than requiring each condition to be written out every time.
