Paul Cartmail - Continuing Airworthiness Manager
Paul’s Background in Engineering began 37 year ago, since that beginning he has worked as an Aircraft Engineer in the Army, with BAE Systems in UK and Saudi Arabia and also with Airbus to name just a few. He has worked on fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft including fast jets, large jets and turbo props all in a variety of countries. Since moving to Perth in 2012 has moved into GA aircraft.
I like to think that I am a keen and eager person always willing to go that extra mile to provide a smoothly efficient service, the kind of service I expect myself.

Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC)
Every European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) aircraft that is registered in the UK and is operating on a full EASA Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) is issued, at renewal, with a non-expiring CofA that is supported by an Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC).
Airworthiness Review Certificates are valid for a period of 12 months. In order to allow legal flight to continue you need to ensure that before your ARC expires that a new ARC is issued or that the existing one is extended.
