145.A.30(cb) Access and responsibility to the accountable manager

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NOMINATED PERSONS TO THE ACCOUNTABLE MANAGER There are different ways to set up the organisation including the possibility to have managerial layers between the accountable manager and the nominated person. But the key principle is that, regardless of the arrangement, there is one nominated person responsible for each Part-145 function, this responsibility is recognised by that nominated person and the accountable manager, and a direct communication channel exists between them. The nominated person’s responsibility should not be diluted into the various levels of management and should be free of conflicts of interest.
