145. A.25 Facility requirements
The organisation shall ensure that:
a) Facilities are provided appropriate for all planned work, ensuring in particular,
protection from the weather elements. Specialized workshops and bays are
segregated as appropriate, to ensure that environmental and work area
contamination is unlikely to occur.
1. For base maintenance of aircraft, aircraft hangars are both available and
large enough to accommodate aircraft on planned base maintenance;
2. For component maintenance, component workshops are large enough to

accommodate the components on planned maintenance.
b) Office accommodation is provided for the management of the planned work

referred to in paragraph (a), and certifying staff so that they can carry out their
designated tasks in a manner that contributes to good aircraft maintenance
standards.
c) The working environment including aircraft hangars, component workshops

and office accommodation is appropriate for the task carried out and in
particular special requirements observed. Unless otherwise dictated by the
particular task environment, the working environment must be such that the
effectiveness of personnel is not impaired:
1. temperatures must be maintained such that personnel can carry out

required tasks without undue discomfort.
2. dust and any other airborne contamination are kept to a minimum and not
be permitted to reach a level in the work task area where visible
aircraft/component surface contamination is evident. Where dust/other
airborne contamination results in visible surface contamination, all
susceptible systems are sealed until acceptable conditions are re-
established.
3. lighting is such as to ensure each inspection and maintenance task can be

carried out in an effective manner.
4. noise shall not distract personnel from carrying out inspection tasks.
Where it is impractical to control the noise source, such personnel are
provided with the necessary personal equipment to stop excessive noise
causing distraction during inspection tasks.
5. where a particular maintenance task requires the application of specific

environmental conditions different to the foregoing, then such conditions
are observed. Specific conditions are identified in the maintenance data.
6. the working environment for line maintenance is such that the particular

maintenance or inspection task can be carried out without undue

distraction. Therefore where the working environment deteriorates to an
unacceptable level in respect of temperature, moisture, hail, ice, snow,
wind, light, dust/other airborne contamination, the particular maintenance
or inspection tasks must be suspended until satisfactory conditions are re-
established.
d) Secure storage facilities are provided for components, equipment, tools and
material. Storage conditions ensure segregation of serviceable components
and material from unserviceable aircraft components, material, equipment
and tools. The conditions of storage are in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions to prevent deterioration and damage of stored items. Access to
storage facilities is restricted to authorized personnel.
AMC 145.A.25 (a) Facility requirements
1. Where the hangar is not owned by the organisation, it may be necessary to

establish proof of tenancy. In addition, sufficiency of hangar space to carry out
planned base maintenance should be demonstrated by the preparation of a
projected aircraft hangar visit plan relative to the maintenance programme.
The aircraft hangar visit plan should be updated on a regular basis.
2. Protection from the weather elements relates to the normal prevailing local
weather elements that are expected throughout any twelve month period.
Aircraft hangar and component workshop structures should prevent the
ingress of rain, hail, ice, snow, wind and dust etc. Aircraft hangar and
component workshop floors should be sealed to minimise dust generation.
3. For line maintenance of aircraft, hangars are not essential but it is

recommended that access to hangar accommodation be demonstrated for
usage during inclement weather for minor scheduled work and lengthy defect
rectification.
4. Aircraft maintenance staff should be provided with an area where they may
study maintenance instructions and complete maintenance records in a
proper manner.
AMC 145.A.25 (b) Facility requirements

It is acceptable to combine any or all of the office accommodation requirements
into one office subject to the staff having sufficient room to carry out assigned
tasks. In addition, as part of the office accommodation, aircraft maintenance staff
should be provided with an area where they may study maintenance instructions
and complete maintenance records in a proper manner.
AMC 145.A.25 (d) Facility requirements
1. Storage facilities for serviceable aircraft components should be clean, well
ventilated and maintained at a constant dry temperature to minimise the
effects of condensation. Manufacturer’s storage recommendations should be
followed for those aircraft components identified in such published
