For the continued airworthiness of aviation products, aviation authority requires that every manufacturer should provide ICA(Instruction of Continued Airworthiness) to their users, and the users should follow it by themselves or using another approved maintenance agent. To reduce the cost and improve performance quality of maintenance activities, lots of users tries to outsource this job. To perform maintenance or repair of other owned air products, an air carrier and aviation maintenance companies should obtain AMO(approval of maintenance organization). It means AMO is a postulation to enter MRO(Maintenance Repair and Overhaul) market. For that, this paper discusses the comparison of requirements and procedures of AMO system between Korea and US to help understand the AMO system, and then, tries to point out what improvement should be made to Korean AMO system to be more effective, efficient and safe.

In order to advance into the MRO industry, the Aviation maintenance organization with suitable for the standards for personnel, facilities and operations should be first approved by FAA and EASA. The purpose of study is designed to arrange the standards required for personnel, facility, operation rule for approval of Repair Station maintenance organizations certified by FAA PART 145 of the US Federal Aviation Regulation. Also to consider the following differences through the comparative analysis with domestic AMO certification of the information in the Management, Maintenance Process, and Quality System for approval of maintenance organization authorized, the additional EASA PART 145. As a comparative analysis on maintenance organization certification in the country between FAA and EASA, this study could show us that domestic maintenance organization, certified manual contents are used by applying just many of the FAA system. And we could know that as part of the EASA maintenance organization certification process, airmen personnel were relatively systematically segmented and controlled. For domestic maintenance organization certification, operational as policy implications we would like to present policy implications such as the implication of rating system of Aviation Mechanic License like EASA, the financial support of the training center to resolve the shortage of the FAA or EASA license holders, operational organization as "CAMO" for systematic aviation mechanic certified system should be required, continued construction of hangar or MRO for airworthiness repair under Governmental support, and varied application of DER system from FAA accordingly.
