JAR-145 means
“Joint Aviation Requirements Part 145” and contains the requirements and
procedures for the approval of an aircraft maintenance organization for the
maintenance release of a commercial transport aircraft.

The
Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) were responsible for the production and publication
of Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs) and the associated guidance and
administrative documents. JAR-145 is a regulation first published in 1991 which
addresses the requirements to be met by a maintenance organization that wishes
to maintain aircraft, components or equipment used in commercial air
transportation. Under the JAA regulations, only organizations that are
certificated under JAR-145 may carry out maintenance of such aircraft,
components and equipment.
This
above mentioned Certificate is issued by Pakistan International Airlines
Training Center, an institution under Civil Aviation Authority. The purpose of
establishing CAA is to provide for the promotion and regulations of Civil
Aviation activities and to develop an infrastructure for safe, efficient,
adequate, economical and properly coordinated Civil Air Transport Service in
Pakistan.
The day
of 7th December has significance, as it coincides with the date of creation of
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 1944 as a result of the
famous Chicago Convention. Incidentally, the United Nations have declared 7th
December as the International Civil Aviation day and celebrated as such every
year all over the world.
