What does the maintenance planning program provide
Provides information necessary for each aircraft operator to develop a customised schedule maintenance program
In its simplest form a maintenance program is a …..
A maintenance schedule
Does a maintenance program need to be produced for each aircraft used for commercial air transport (CAT)
Yes
What must the maintenance program detail
Details the intervals at which certain components on the aircraft must be inspected, lubricated or overhauled
Will also detail any mandatory life limits on components
What will the maintenance program normally have
A reliability program to analysis its effectiveness
What must happen before the maintenance schedule can be used
It needs to be approved by the National aviation authority (NAA)
What is the maintenance schedule
Publication that the operator creates that defines when certain maintenance tasks and components replacement will take place
What maintenance program will a ELA1 category aircraft not used for commercial operation use
A self declared maintenance program
All non EASA, piston engine aeroplane with less than 2730 kg MTOM, used for commercial and non commercial air transport use what maintenance schedule
Light aircraft maintenance schedule (LAMS)
What CAP addresses requirements for the light aircraft
CAP 411
What does the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) contain
Contains information necessary to allow the mechanic to carry out scheduled maintenance
Who produces the AMM and what aircraft is it applicable too
Produced by the aircraft design authority and is applicable to one aircraft type
How are is AMM manuals configured
Configured with the ATA100 and in each chapter there is a description of the particular system
What set of preliminary pages does the AMM contain at the start
List of chapters
Record of revisions
List of temporary revisions
Service bulletin list
De-activation / re-activation index
Who is the illustrated parts catalogue produced by
Produced by the aircraft manufacturer
What is the illustrated parts catalogue used for
Used to allow the aircraft mechanic to identify replaceable components on the aircraft
What does the illustrated parts catalogue consist of
Consists of exploded drawings showing every area of the aircraft and associated pages listing the parts and giving part numbers of parts
What are the 3 subdivision that a wiring diagram Manual divided into
Aircraft schematic manual (ASM)
Aircraft wiring manual (AWM)
Aircraft wiring list (AWL)
What information does the component maintenance Manual (CMM) contain
Contains the information required for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft components.
Where is the component maintenance Manual (CMM) intended to be used
The Manual is intended to be used within the workshop environment
What will the component maintenance Manual contain (CMM)
The manual will contain the information to return the component to a serviceable condition
What will the structural repair manual (SRM) contain
All the information necessary to carry out identification and repair of damage to aircraft structures
What information does the SRM contain for aircraft types
Contains information for all aircraft of a particular type and is not customised to a particular operator
What is the purpose of the trouble shooting manual
The purpose is to allow the systematic identification, isolation and rectification of aircraft faults
What form is the troubleshooting manual in
Normally in the form of a flow chart
Who is the master minimum equipment list (MMEL) produced by
MMEL is produced by the aircraft manufacturer
What is included within the Master Minimum equipment list (MMEL)
It lists the items which may be temporarily inoperative, associated with special operation condition, limitation or procedures as applicable, for a specific aircraft type
Who’s requirement is it for an operator to operate under an approved MEL
Part M and air ops
What is the MEL
The MEL is an operator compliance document, tailored to their own needs, created to reference the MMEL
What document is more restricted between the MEL and the MMEL
The MEL can be more restricted than the MMEL but never less
What does the MEL detail
Details any airworthiness significant items or systems that can be unserviceable or inoperative at the time of aircraft dispatch
How will the MEL be arranged
In the ATA 100 chapter order
If the components is not listed within the MEL it must be what.
If a components of airworthiness significance is not listed in the MEL,then it must be serviceable prior to dispatch
Where are the defects that have been deferred in the MEL be recorded
Will be recorded within the tech log and in some cases the cockpit must be placarded
What are the 4 different categories used for item rectification
