How to proceed
Filing an application/declaration
Prior to any approval of an exposition document, applicants must submit an application form for document approval to DAC's airworthiness department. The form can be sent by post or email to the following address: nav@av.etat.lu.
Depending on their application, applicants must also provide the following associated exposition documents:
- CAME - Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition;

- MTOE - Maintenance Training Organisation Exposition;
- POE - Production Organisation Exposition;
- AMP - Aircraft Maintenance Program;
- CMM/SMM - Compliance Monitoring Manual and/or Safety Management Manual;
- ATL - Aircraft Technical Log.
Once the airworthiness department of the DAC has processed the application, the inspector in charge of approval of the exposition manual(s), or any other document, will contact the approved organisation or owner for further information, if required.
Supporting documents
Supporting documents are requested by the inspector in charge of the document review based on the application and the actual circumstances of the case.
