Over the years, the majority of projects that QCM design have been involved in are for the certification of Cabin Interior Changes, ranging from the simplest Carpet Change up to Full Cabin Refurbishments. In particular, complying to the Certification Specifications has always been achieved, especially in regards to the challenging aspect of surrogate processes andupholding the safety of the product to the highest levels.
Avionics

QCM design has successfully mastered the challenges of incorporating several Avionics / Electrical Systems into Aircraft and Helicopters. At a glance, the systems include Flight Management Systems with RNAV capabilities; ADS-B Out (with several configurations); Cabin Management Systems; CDUs with new Human Interface challenges due to Touch Screens; WiFi / WLAN Router full certifications, including all phases of Flight and Frequencies; and KU Band Installations; etc.
IFE/Connectivity

Cabin Management System integration in aging aircraft, or for aircraft with obsolete systems, have been challenges which were undertaken by QCM design several times. Integration of new to old is challenging, but we have demonstrated that we develop this integration with success.
Structures

The integration of any Antennae, small or large, to the aircraft, including the challenging Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Calculations, has enhanced our capabilities over the past years. QCM design can develop new Interior Cabinets, and by complying to all applicable regulations, passenger safety is always assured.
Interior Refurbishment

Aircraft interiors are subject to wear and tear which can affect the overall impression of the cabin. Refurbishing your interior will bring a feel of renewal to the atmosphere in the aircraft, and give those entering the aircraft a neat, polished, first impression. From leather refurbishment, veneer revarnishing, carpet replacement we can certify your new cabin interior.
Flammability

Working with several Flammability Laboratories over the past decade(s), and seeking more transparency on given test results, QCM design developed the Flamelab 4.0, which is an independent, Human Factor Free Flammability Chamber.
The Flamelab 4.0 gives traceability for all tests, and answers the “WHY” and “HOW” of the test results and their performance, aswell as additionally allowing for online test witnessing.
Special Mission

Customers with special one-off requests have been key to our success. From building laboratories for Special Avionics Testing Capabilities or developing a Hook Release System for helicopters for Alpine Rescue, there is no request we cannot succeed with.
Certification & Engineering Support

QCM design has assisted individual Partner DOAs with Certification Support on individual Means of Compliances. We can be subcontracted for individual Calculations or System Safety Analyses.

Questions, Answers, EASA UAS Regulations
- How do you keep up to date with all technicalities related to unmanned aviation?
- What do UAS, Drone, RPAS, VLOS/BVLOS, SORA, U-Space, etc. mean?
- Do you want to learn how to operate a UAS, and how to comply with applicable regulations?
- Where am I allowed to operate a UAV? Where is it prohibited?
- Do I need to present a Risk Assessment to obtain permission to operate my UAV?
- Open, specific, certified? Under which category am I operating?
Combining QCM’s extensive experience in aviation certification, maintenance, operations and training, we have
partnered with UAS professionals to offer comprehensive training on EASA UAS Regulations.
- U-001 EASA UAS Regulations and National Specifications (1 or 2 days)
Contact us for any training required and we will ensure – together with all our partners – that your specific need and your expectation is fulfilled.
Continuing Airworthiness Management
Q.C.M. camo plus AG, as an EASA approved organisation (CH.MG.7004), can support you with the following activities:
- Development and control of a suitable maintenance programme, including applicable reliability programme
- Management of approval of modification and repairs
- Ensuring that maintenance is carried out i.a.w. the approved maintenance programme
- AD / SB assessment
- Aircraft defect / deferred defect control
- Record / technical log control and retention
- Establishment of appropriate maintenance contracts
- AOG service
- Performance of airworthiness review (physical and records review)
By means of our maintenance tracking program you only need internet access to your latest aircraft maintenance
data, its airworthiness status or next maintenance due dates.
Maintain your standards – maintain your value
Whether you are a bank, an insurance company, a private investor or an operator, you will have a vested interest in ensuring assets maintain their highest value. This requires a focus on the monitoring of technical conditions, to guarantee either airworthiness or controlled storage. A financing deal presents you with the challenge to deliver and redeem the aircraft, as well as to design and support the remarketing strategy.
We are here to take on this challenge for you.
Additional services
In addition, Q.C.M. camo plus AG can assist you in the following:
- Pre-buy inspection
- Import and export of new and used aircrafts
- Monitoring of aircraft being implemented into your operation
- Representation during maintenance events
- Invoice and record control
Independent Audit Services
Our qualified auditors support the internal quality personnel or perform audits independently on request of our clients.
The following audits can be performed by QCM:
- Internal Audits in the area of Flight Operations, Continuing Airworthiness, Maintenance, Design and Production Organisations
- Contractor-/Subcontractor-/Supplier-Audits
- Preparation of external audits (Authority, Customer)
Preparation of Aviation Documentation
Our consultants generate the documentation specifically tailored to comply with the needs of the different organisations. They also assist with developing the documents for specific parts.
The following documents can be prepared by QCM:
- Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition (CAME)
- Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE)
- Maintenance Training Organisation Exposition (MTOE)
- Safety- and Quality-Management Manual (SQMM)
- Design Organisation Handbook (DOH)

Interim Management
Since several years we are closing personnel gaps for air operatosrs, CAMOs, and maintenance organisations in Switzerland, Germany and Austria by providing staff for management functions. Our customers benefit from our knowledge, our experience, and our great acceptance by the National Aviation Authorities. Besides the fulfilment of the management functions, we also train the recruited personnel by targetoriented coaching to prepare them for their future position.
QCM has adequate personnel for the following functions:
- Quality Manager
- Safety Manager
- Continuing Airworthiness Manager
- Chief of Office Airworthiness
- Compliance Verification Engineers
Individual Consulting Projects
Together with our sister companies of the QCM-Group we are able to provide individual solutions.
QCM provides the following services:
- Support for gaining aviation certifications (AOC, CAMO, Part-145, Part 147, DOA)
- Evaluation of processes and implementation of efficient procedures
- Cost analysis
- Evaluation of aircrafts
- Support for import and export of aircrafts
- Integration of aircrafts into an AOC/CAMO
Why do you need a design company?
All deviations from an aircraft type design are “changes” that have to be approved by the authorities. Because these deviations can range from a simple correction to a massive structural intrusion, the EASA considers two kinds of changes: minor and major changes. Major Changes are design changes as defined by EU regulation 748/2012 § 21A.91 and GM 21A.91. Minor Changes are all other changes not classified as a Major Design change.
As a Part 21J Design Organization, we are entitled to classify and approve minor changes, as well as help our customers plan for major changes. This gives us more flexibility to find solutions for your requests.

General Information on DTO
As of April 8th 2018, training activities in Declared Training Organisations (DTO) may commence. To do so, an organisation should submit a declaration and the applicable training programmes (syllabi). Additionally a safety policy must be available.
Due to a shortage of resources, the oversight in the DTO domain has been outsourced. After a formal invitation to tender in the fall of 2017 the contract has been awarded to the company Quality Control Management AG (QCM) in Belp.
Consequently, any enquiries, declarations and correspondence in the DTO context should be made to the following address:
dto@qcm.ch
Declaration:
By means of a declaration an organisation states that it operates within the bounderies of the law and provides information on training courses offered. In case of changes in the organisation, the declaration shall be amended and submitted again.
Safety policy:
The representative of the DTO states by means of a safety policy that the organisation aims for a safe operation of all activities.
Annual activity report and annual internal review:
By means of the annual activity report, the DTO reflects on the past year and reviews its internal processes. The annual activity report is made in the first two months of the new year. A template for such an activity report, as well as an annual review checklist will be published here ahead of time.

DOA APPROVAL CERTIFICATE
External LEDs for your Bombardier aircraft!
QCM design has done it again! We have secured EASA approval for the replacement of the current external Landing, Taxi, and Navigation halogen lamps on a Challenger 604 with new LED lights. The LED lights were implemented in place of the existing halogen lights in order to reduce maintenance costs, due to the longer life cycle. They offer improved illumination, longer lifespan and greater reliability with an increased mean time between failures. The further benefits to the operator are improved reliability, power consumption reduction and weight savings.
We received the STC Approval 27 June 2017, and we look forward to receiving your notices of interest upon successful completion of this endeavor!
