Part 145 Release to Service Risk Checklist

This aviation QA checklist aligns with Nig.CARs Part 6 and Part 145 requirements for Approved Maintenance Organizations. It helps assess human factors, staff competency, and training programs, including CRM, HFACS, safety leadership, and engineering standards. Use it to review maintenance performance, documentation and technical records, MPM and MCM compliance, parts and consumables control, contractor oversight, and FOD prevention. The BowTie model targets the top event of releasing an unairworthy aircraft to service, with barriers such as QA audits, before-flight inspections, ground runs, leak checks, and emergency response planning. Apply this template to document findings, assign accountability, schedule corrective actions, and support recurrent training and supplier assurance.
