Who approves the Configuration, Maintenance, and Procedures (CMP) Document?

• A. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
• B. World Air Sports Federation (FAI)
• C. European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
• D. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)

Answer: (A)

The authority that approves a Configuration, Maintenance, and Procedures (CMP) Document is the Federal Aviation Administration. The CMP outlines the approved aircraft configuration, maintenance tasks, and procedures, and the FAA reviews and authorizes it to ensure it meets applicable airworthiness standards and regulations. Other organizations operate in different contexts: FAI is a sport federation, EASA is a European regulator, and ICAO provides international standards but does not issue direct approvals for a specific U.S.-registered aircraft.
