Documented procedures for pre-contract assessment of contractors are included in the documentation being developed for Part 119 Certification. This assessment process had been previously undertaken as a matter of course, but the process had not been well documented. The Airline Management System Manual covers the contract assessment and the procedures have been in use since 30 June 1998.
