The purpose of CARAC is to work with the Canadian aviation community to “advise the federal government” on aviation “CARAC (Canadian Aviation Regulations Advisory Council) is the association that advocates to the government on airline safety and security”

“performs an in depth examination of all the maintenance processes” 1.highest level of safety, lowest cost 2. A decision-logic process for determining initial scheduled maintenance requirements for new a/c and power plants 3. Contributes to the Maintenance review board “MRB”

• A detail, element, or assembly that contributes significantly to carrying flight, ground, pressure or control loads • The failure of an SSI affects the structural integrity that is necessary for safe flight

An item whose failure or malfunction could ? ; 1. Affect the safety on the ground or in flight 2. Have significant operational economic impact ​3. Requires detailed scheduled maintenance planning

1. MANDATORY under all conditions to have onboard the a/c 2. “provides ability to dispatch aircraft under certain conditions with a limited time frame to accomplish repairs” 3. Is specific to that particular airport 4. - (MEL) is configured in a way specific to each a/c

purpose is to list; 1. inoperable equipment 2. operational restrictions for an airline aircraft type

Hard Time - a component that requires a specific action at a specific interval (overhaul) per the manufacturers recommendations On condition - Inspects parts periodically to determine if it can continue in service Condition Monitoring - a process for systems, components, or appliances that have neither HT nor OC maintenance as their primary process Life Limited

1. Inspection 2. Function /operation check 3. Leak check (if required) 4. Papar Work checks

comprises of representatives from aircraft, engine, propellor, appliance manufactures and airline cutustomers for initial “maintenance planning”

SSI (structurally significant item) must be serviceable as it is critical to the safety of the aircraft “if Boeing detected a SSI or MSI, they would increase inspection methods and intervals. it is an identified issue that needs more attention”

Is responsible for the AMO operating certificate authorized by Transport Canada reg 106.02. will assume full responsibility for the companies compliance with CARS 2. discharges certificate holders responsibilities 3. if something is found in an audit at an AMO, the AE and PRM meet with transport Canada

quality assurance is the name of the program that holders of an AMO certificate shall establish to sample maintenance processes to “evaluate an AMOs ability to perform maintenance in a safe manner”. 1. AMOs verify performance, activities and results comply with MPM through random, progressive and segmented audits with applicable intervals. this is done in house

A check “ is part of a planned and scheduled maintenance program for the life of the aircraft b check?

identifies any external parts that can be missing and allows dispatch under certain conditions

paper work is a LEGAL document, and are ultimately the “responsibility of the owner” to record maintenance for compliance to; 1. Transport Canada 2. federal minister of civil aviation “where A/C is registered”

1. a quality assurance process audit ensures an AMO operates safely according to its MPM “maintenance policy manual” 2. another name used by an AMO to describe the activities used to prove compliance to transport Canada is “operational Q&A” 3. an AMO uses an audit to ensure conformance, identify non-compliances and find root causes for corrective actions 4. AMOs verify their performance, activities and results comply with the MPM through random, progressive and segmented audits with applicable intervals. this is done in house

Found in both MCM and MPM & TC 1. Operating certificate Must be approved to do the specific work 2. TC issues a certificate to operate as an AMO, the certificate lays out the SCOPE OF WORK the AMO is certified to do. (Ex. overhauls, NDT, Welding etc

an AME working for a part VII AMO can find out how to complete paper work on a snag in the MPM “maintenance policy manual”

an airline FOEB develops a MMEL from the DDG FOEB “flight operations evaluations board” DDG “dispatch deviation guide” MMEL “master minimum equipment list”

Used decision logic to develop scheduled maintenance From the B-747 in 1968 “Boeings original strategy for increased complexity of the B727 which was new at the time” this focused on MSI and SSI

“quality assistance organizations and standards has made global universal standards of processes, measurements, designs and performance” no matter where you go the standards are the same. the advantage for nations to have one system of standards is it ensures certification of a product is acceptable by all”

Non-governmental organisation comprises the national standard bodies of 149 countries. The 9000 family of certifications covers quality management standards “ISO 9000 is the most universal standard for quality management”

1. manages AMO activities in accordance with MPM 2. responsible to Transport Canada for MCM and MPM 3. if something is found in audit in an AMO, the AE and PRM get together with transport Canada

Aviation Fuels - estimation of net specific energy ISO 3648 “defines the energy level of JET A”

1. An AMO will authorise an AME to sign maintenance releases (ACA) Must be authorised in the MPM 2. “when you sign off your work, you’re responsible to the federal minister of transport, AMO and the owner”

purpose of a Maintennce planning document is so the customer can develop a “customized” maintence program

Uses pass/fail criteria to monitor items that are considered critical Inspecting for defects to ensure adequate quality is achieved QC is product oriented

Quality control; focused on FINISHED end product inspection. looks for defects on finished parts on pass fail system Quality assurance; based on periodic verifications of all aspects of the processes used in the performance of maintenance. ENSURES THINGS BEING DONE THE RIGHT WAY.

1. maintenance significant items “MSI” 2. structural significant items “SSI”

1. operational QA; verifies all activities conducted in accordance with regulatory and company requirements 2. system QA review; evaluates effectiveness of maintenance being done, is it being followed to plan or not?

dual inspection “second set of eyes” check or also referred as independent check

safety management system “designed to promote safe and orderly development of international civil aviation”

developed for the 747 and during the formation of new airlines being created. this required the need for new regulations. used decision logic to develop scheduled maintenance
