Q

are those tasks which vary from one check to another and from one aircraft to another

A

variable routine tasks

21
Q

are those work items that are generated by the accomplishment of other, routine tasks.

A

non routine tasks

22
Q

The plan produced by PP&C allows a certain amount of time for the performance work based on past knowledge of the work to be done and also based on the assumption that parts, supplies, manpower, and facilities will be available when needed.

A

production control

23
Q

covers the training requirements of mechanics, technicians, quality control (QC) inspectors, and quality assurance (QA) auditors

A

technical training

24
Q

responsible for the proper training of all its personnel. This includes flight crews, cabin crews, ground handling crews, maintenance mechanics and technicians, inspectors, auditors, managers, computer operators, and administrative personnel.

A

airline

25
Q

A

Be at least 18 years of age

Be able to read, write, speak, and understand the English language

Have passed all the prescribed test within a 24-month period

Comply with FAR requirements that apply to the rating he or she seeks.

26
Q

several different kinds of training activities that are required from time to time:

A

formal training

organizational training

manufacturer’s training

quality training

on-the-job training

upgrade training

refresher training

27
Q

This training is usually accomplished before the mechanic is hired.

A

formal training

28
Q

A&P mechanics and technicians can come from?

A

FAA approved A&P schools, form technical/trade schools with appropriate aviation curricula, or from the U.S. military services

29
Q

This training is developed and conducted by the airline organization itself and covers the airline’s basic policies and procedures, paper work, and specific aviation systems and equipment in use at the airline.

A

organizational training

30
Q

Airframe, engine, and aircraft equipment manufacturers often offer specialized training on their products or on special activities related to their products either facilities or at the airline/ the airline training organization makes all arrangements and monitors the activity.

A

manufacturer or vendor training

31
Q

Quality assurance auditors require training in auditing procedures and techniques as well as refresher training on regulations and airline policies; quality control inspectors need to be trained on inspection techniques and on tool and equipment calibration.

A

quality training

32
Q

involves special procedures that cannot be covered completely or effectively in classroom sessions and those that can only be accomplished by hands-on experience on the job

A

on-the-job training

33
Q

This kind of training is required when new equipment is incorporated in the unit’s vehicles or fleet or when new procedures are implemented in the maintenance activity.

A

upgrade training

34
Q

This training is required whenever it is noted that a mechanic or technician is “rusty” and needs to review or reverify certain skills. This may occur because the mechanic has had extended periods of tie where he or she was not exposed to the equipment or maintenance activities.

A

refresher training

35
Q

The training organization is tasked with the
responsibility of developing a basic course in human factor (HF) and in
incorporating HF into other training courses as applicable.

A

maintenance resource management

36
Q

Whenever an airline buys one or more aircraft from the airframe manufacturer (Boeing, Lockheed, Airbus, etc.) they usually get, as part of the purchase price,

A

a certain number of training slots for the manufacturer’s training classes on that
model.

37
Q

discusses the publication and distribution of all documentation required by the various maintenance and engineering departments. This includes documents provided by manufacturers, vendors, and regulatory authorities as well as those documents produced by the airline.

A

technical publications

38
Q

The technical publication organization essentially has three functions:

A
  1. To receive and distribute, within the airline, all those publications issued by outside sources
  2. To print and distribute the publications generated by the various organizations within the airlines
  3. To establish and maintain a complete, up-to-date library system for all such documents
    needed for M&E operations.
39
Q

to ensure that all applicable publications related to the airline operation are available to the users and are up to date with the latest changes.

Q

are issued for general information only and are not used to certify airworthiness. They do not require any of the tracking system requirements discussed below for controlled documents.

A

uncontrolled documents

43
Q

are used to certify airworthiness of the aircraft, engines, and components. Each controlled document will contain a list of effective pages (LEP) and a record of revisions to the document identifying the revision number or letter and the date of that revision. The LEP will also reflect the active page numbers of the latest revision. Table below is a typical list of controlled documents.

A
