The Director of Maintenance (DOM) holds a full-time position and has overall authority and responsibility for the Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) outlined in the General Maintenance Manual. This includes the program's execution, production, alteration, revision, and distribution. The DOM holds final authority over all maintenance-related departments, including the maintenance shop, inspection, scheduling, training, parts, and the CASS.
