certificate of airworthiness “the flight authority is in effect only if the aircraft continues to meet the conditions of the flight authority”

is a service provided by Boeing that enables operators to more efficiently develop, publish and revise their minimum equipment list (MEL)

1. a maintenance schedule that conforms to the aircraft equipment and maintenance standards 2. where the A/C is operated undersubpart 6 of part IV or VII, or is a large aircraft or airship; “a maintenance schedule approved by the minister in respect of the aircraft operator”

the markings or placards are affixed to the aircraft or attached to a component of the aircraft in accordance with those standards

“all entries may be kept in the journey log book”

“where a person alters an entry on a technical record for the purpose of correcting the entry, done by striking out the incorrect entry in such a manner that the underlying information remains legible”

1. a maintenance schedule that conforms to aircraft equipment and maintenance standards or 2. a maintenance schedule approved by the minister (part IV & VII aircraft)

1. compass 2. ELT 3. weight and balance 4. propellers 5. engines 6. tachometers 7. altimeters

an air operator (AO) must appoint a person responsible for all of the day to day maintenance activities PRM must demonstrate knowledge of duties and responsibilities during interview with Transport Canada

1. make the entry accurate, legible and a permenant manner 2. enter the persons name and signature or employee identifier 3. date of entry

put one black line through the error and 1. print “EIE”, 2. your initials 3. correct entry EIE no longer explicitly stated in CARS

1. “when times / cycles remaining are established for each maintenance action item when transferred to the new maintenance schedule” 2. TC approval required 3. when installing a new engine, the maintenance schedule must be transferred to the new aircraft

1. the CDL is a listing of FAA approved non-structural external parts that may be missing 2. airplane remains airworthy

TRUE

“no person shall conduct a takeoff in the aircraft with equipment that is not serviceable or that has been removed, where that equipment is required by” 1. an air operator certificate, a private operator certificate, a special flight operators certificate or a flight training unit operating certificate 2. AD or regulation 3. opinion of pilot 4. log book entry required

make entries relating to the preceding volume that are nessesary to ensure that “an unbroken chronological record is maintained”

deliver technical records that relate to the aeronautical product

1. elementary work 2. servicing 3. initial training 4. updated training (3 years) 5. additional training 6. MCM training for AMOs 7. records of all training, qualifications and authorizations

true, air operator can only remove items from MMEL

1. assures that the aircraft can be flown safely for the intended flight 2. an air operator or FTU must have a technical dispatch procedure

retained for minimum 1 year

means “a limitation applicable to an aeronautical product” in the form of a life limit or a maintenance task that is mandatory condition of type certificate

“is a joint operations and maintenance document prepared for or by an air operator to dispatch an aircraft safely with inoperative equipment” 1. document approved by minister 2. to operate an aircraft with equipment that is “inoperative under condition” 3. may specify certain equipment that must be operative

pilot in command (PIC)

when a new volume of an existing technical record entries are made…we start the new logbook “by entering a few of the old tech record entries “ this ensures there’s no gaps in record keeping

1. must be operated I.A.W any conditions or limitations specified in the MEL 2. carry a copy of MEL on board 3. MEL must be transport Canada approved

“seperate” technical records for ex. airframe, engine and propellor

1. lists equipment which may be temporarily inoperative 2. subject to certain conditions, while maintaining an acceptable level of safety 3. each aircraft model has a distinct MMEL 4. produced by manufacture 5. regulatory approval required (TC/ FAA / EASA

YES, an air operator can modify MMEL to meet operating conditions and experience of operator on aircraft

1. the date of the document alteration 2. the reason for the alteration 3. the persons name and signature or employee identification number or where records are kept as electronic data.

1. details specific MEL maintenance procedures and actions 2. is intended to assist airline operators and AMOs in developing the procedures to operate A/C with inoperative equipment allowed by MMEL

1. recording aircraft defects 2. ensuring defects are rectified in accordance with requirements of CARs 3. detecting recurring defects, “reoccurs 3 times in 15 flights” 4. scheduling the rectification of defects whose repair has been deferred

carried on board

available to flight crew members at their duty stations 1. must be of latest amended status

1. heavy or overweight landings 2. flight on severe turbulence 3. exceeding airspeed / acceleration limits 4. burst tire incidents 5. immersion in water 6. prop / rotor strikes 7. lightning strikes 8. spillage of corrosive substance

manufactures “instructions for continued airworthiness” contains an “airworthiness limitations” section 1. provides mandatory replacement times, inspection intervals and procedures for aeronautical components 2. enables us to control a part with a specific life limit

category A: up to the operator who decides this category B: 3 days category C: 10 days category D: 120 days

until the aircraft is no longer registered

the integrity of the structure or the performance of the power plants or systems could be impaired

“tasks or inspections that DO NOT fall during the normal manufactures schedule” ex. weight and balance, all large aircraft shall be re-weighed / updated every 5 years ex. altimetry devices installed in aircraft operating “transponder airspace” calibrated every 24 months

category A: shall be repaired within the time interval specified in the remarks column of operators approved MEL; “air operator decides this” category B: shall be repaired within 3 days, 72hours. excluding day of malfunction recorded category C: repaired within 10 days (240hrs) excluding day of malfunction category D: shall be repaired within 120 consecutive calander days

by person who discovers defect, wether it’s a mechanic or apprentice

no, many small aircraft do not have an MMEL

1. journey log, must be on Aircraft during flight, “UNLESS the planned flight takes off and lands at same airport “ 2. a seperate technical record for airframe, each engine, each variable pitch propeller

aircraft, engine, propellers and components 1. nationality / registration marks 2. manufactures: name, type, model & serial number 3. ADs that are coming into effect 4. any abnormal occurrence 5. particulars of any maintenance performed

ALL aspects 1. maintenance quality assurance program 2. manuals and technical reference publications 3. controlling parts and materials 4. MCM “maintenance control manual”

1. planning and control of all maintenance for company aircraft 2. technical dispatch of aircraft returned from maintenance AMO 3. ensure inspection and maintenance packages complete 4. aircraft maintenance schedules 5. control of technical records

70%

1. developed by “air operator” to describe how the company will comply with CARS 2. is a “transport Canada approved document” that can be viewed as a contract between TC and the air operator 3. is a means for setting company policy and informing an operators staff about company procedures

1. domestic service 2. scheduled and non scheduled international service 3. sightseeing operation

1. we follow CARS requirments 2. factors to follow determined by the “type of flying that is about to happen” such as day ex. (VFR, night VFR, night IFR)
