4.2.3 CONTROL OF DOCUMENTS
Documents required for the quality management system are controlled.
A documented procedure is established to define the controls needed:
a)
To approve documents for adequacy prior to issue,
b)
To review, update as necessary, and re-approve documents,
c)
To ensure that changes and the current revision status of documents are
identified,
d)
To ensure that relevant versions of applicable documents are available at
points of use,
e) To ensure that documents remain legible and readily identifiable,
f)
To ensure that documents of external origin determined by FCI to be
necessary for the planning and operation of the quality management system
are identified and their distribution controlled, and
g) To prevent the unintended use of obsolete documents, and to apply suitable
identification to them if they are retained for any purpose.
As a regulatory requirement, any revision to this section, section two, of the
Manual must be submitted to the FAA for approval prior to implementation in
accordance with term 13 of the PMA Letter.
