What Regulation can a CAMO give permission to a pilot to carry out maintenance?

Regulation 42 covers how continuing airworthiness management can enable certain maintenance tasks to be done by personnel other than a licensed mechanic, including pilots for appropriate simple tasks. A CAMO oversees the aircraft’s ongoing airworthiness and can grant permission for a pilot (who is trained and authorized) to perform specific, defined maintenance actions within the permitted scope and then sign off on the aircraft’s release to service. This keeps the aircraft safe to fly while allowing routine, uncomplicated maintenance to be carried out efficiently. Other regulations address different areas: Regulation 21 deals with certification and airworthiness for products and approvals, Regulation 145 is about maintenance organisations and their approvals, and Regulation 91 covers general operating rules. Those do not govern the delegation of maintenance tasks to pilots by a CAMO in the way Regulation 42 does.
