Method 3. The CAMO management process for AFns. CRE. • Task a 145 maintenance organisation to rectify the defect • Provide a life extension (i. e. repackage life within Airworthiness Limitation) • Seek an approved repair (may be unrepaired damage) from a Military Design Organisation Approval (MDOA) • Seek a Military Permit to Fly (MPTF) UNCLASSIFIED 18
