the Administrator may authorize a de-
viation from this paragraph if the Ad-

eign countries, or the certificate hold-
er’s operating certificate or operations 
specifications.

priate portions of the manual (and 
changes and additions) shall be made 
available to maintenance and ground 
operations personnel by the certificate 
holder and furnished to—

(2) Representatives of the Adminis-

trator assigned to the certificate hold-
er. 

(e) Each employee of the certificate 

holder to whom a manual or appro-
priate portions of it are furnished 
under paragraph (d)(1) of this section 
shall keep it up to date with the 
changes and additions furnished to 
them. 

(f) Except as provided in paragraph 

(h) of this section, each certificate 
holder must carry appropriate parts of 
the manual on each aircraft when away
