What is a GAR 39 Option 1 CAMO validation?
It is a simplified approval that allows an already approved CAMO to manage the continuing airworthiness of Guernsey-registered aircraft. Instead of obtaining a full GAR approval, the CAMO is validated based on its existing approval, subject to meeting GAR requirements.
Who can apply for a GAR 39 Option 1 CAMO validation?
an organisation holding a continuing airworthiness management organisation approval or combined airworthiness organisation approval issued by either EASA, an EASA member state, or the United Kingdom.
When do you need a GAR 39 Option 1 CAMO validation?

What is the validity and cost of the validation?
