10.4 Air Operations Flashcards
What do the air operations annexed do?
Establish the requirements to be followed by an air operator these include :
Commercial air transport operations
Commercial specialised operations
Non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered aircraft.
Non-commercial specialised operations with complex motor-powered aircraft
What is annex 1 and what does it do?
This annex is definitions and it establishes definitions of key words
What is annex 2 and what does it do?
Authority requirements for air operations, establishes requirements for the administration and management system to be fulfilled by the CAA
What is annex 3 and what does it do?
Organisation requirements for air operations, establishes requirements to be followed by an air operator
What is annex 4 and what does it do?
Commercial air transport operations, establishes additional operational requirements to be followed and procedures to be established by an air operator conducting Commercial Air Transport (CAT) operations
What is annex 5 and what does it do?
Operations Requiring Specific Approvals, This annex establishes requirements to be followed by an air operator for specific operational approvals
What does an air operator certificate do?
The AOC gives the organisation approval to operate
How do you gain an AOC?
The operator must show that they meet all safety requirements and they must allow UK CAA access to their operation to ensure compliance
What do the organisation have to prove to the CAA?
That they are following the requirements of part M
What does every organisation need to follow part M?
CAMO
Who is responsible for aircraft continuing airworthiness?
The operator is always responsible unless clearly stated in a contract when aircraft are leased to a third party
What does the operator have to do with a maintenance program?
The operator must create and gain approval for this aircraft maintenance programme to be used for each aircraft
What is involved in the maintenance program?
This document details which maintenance actions must be carried out at which intervals during the life of the aircraft in order to keep it in an airworthy condition
What should the maintenance programme be based off?
The maintenance review board report(MRBR)
What do a organisation have to do for a newly type certificated aircraft?
Should follow manufacturers recommendations and Maintenance Review Board Report together with other airworthiness information
What do organisations have to do for existing aircraft types?
They can make comparisons with maintenance programmes previously approved
What does an organisation have to do with a technical log?
Create one for each aircraft approved by the CAA
What does the organisation have to prove to the CAA regarding a Part 145?
Demonstrate how it will ensure that all the maintenance actions can actually be performed
What is essential with a minimum equipment list?
This is created by a operator and will be approved by the CAA it details the minimum amount of things that are needed to fly
What must an operator do with language in the workplace?
That all employees can communicate in the same language
What is the maintenance planning document made up from?
The Maintenance Review Board (MRB).
The certification regulations of the aircraft type and its operational demands.
The follow‑up of the aircraft operation and the feedback from experience leads to additional specific tasks to maintain the airworthiness of the aircraft
What does the maintenance review board do?
The MRB report provides to the operator the minimum and initial maintenance programme of the aircraft, with the tasks and application frequency
What is the structure programme?
Structure Significant Items (SSI) were entered into the structure maintenance programme. Part of this category is those items which contribute significantly to loads applied during flight, ground loads, pressurisation, and where a failure threatens the structural integrity and the safety of the aircraft.
How is a part selected for structure significant items (SSI)
The consequences of failures in critical locations, the failure probability
What is the master minimum equipment list?
This is the parts that can be unserviceable at the time and created by the manufacturer
What is different about the MEL and MMEL
the MEL can be more restrictive than the MEL but not less restrictive
What does the configuration deviation list do?
identifies any external parts of an aircraft type which may be missing at time of departure under specified conditions in the document
Why do documents, manuals and information need to be carried on flight
For safety
What are the emergency exit signs for?
They give directions to the exits, must be clearly marked and have an emergency illumination source
What are the emergency break in points for?
Areas of the fuselage suitable for a break-in by rescue crew are to be marked by hashed line rectangles
When must there be a door between the flight deck and the passenger compartment?
If the aircraft has a seating capacity of 19 passengers
What must each external door have on?
They must have a placarded as exit or emergency exit and must bear instructions for the operation of the door
Why is there a seatbelt sign?
If the flight crew cannot see all passengers then there needs to be a sign for them to know to put them on
Why does a plane need a national marking?
Because a plan cannot fly unless it bears national registration marking
