Chap 14 Flashcards
What must an organization consider for successful Aircraft maintenance?
The resources needed to ensure Aircraft availability and compliance with Airworthiness Regulations.
What is the risk of inadequate planning in maintenance organizations?
Increases the risk of maintenance error and risk to Airworthiness.
What should a maintenance organization have in place?
A system appropriate to the amount and complexity of work to plan the availability of personnel, tools, equipment, material, technical information, and facilities.
What are Human Factors Limitations in maintenance planning?
Refer to the upper and lower limits, and variations, of certain aspects of human performance, including the sleep-wake cycle and operational pressures.
What is required during the handover of maintenance tasks?
Relevant information must be adequately communicated between outgoing and incoming personnel.
Why is effective communication important during handover?
Helps reduce human error during the shift change or task handover.
What are the three elements that must be addressed in a handover?
- The outgoing person’s ability to communicate important elements of the job.
- The incoming person’s ability to understand the information.
- A formalized process for exchanging information.
What is the primary objective of a task handover?
To exchange detailed information related to the individual task, focusing on the status of the relevant maintenance work orders.
What topics should be included in a task handover?
- Location of removed parts.
- Logistic issues.
- Tool control.
- Time constraints.
- All relevant Aircraft documentation completed and certified up to the point of the task handover.
Where should the task handover take place?
At the aircraft or workplace, face-to-face, where practicable. If not possible, a written handover must be produced.
What is required for a Unit’s stores?
Secure storage facilities must be provided for components, equipment, tools, and material, ensuring segregation of serviceable from unserviceable items.
Who has access to storage facilities?
authorized personnel.
What should storage racks be capable of?
They should be strong enough to hold Aircraft components and provide sufficient support to prevent damage during storage.
How should Aircraft components be stored?
All components should remain packaged in protective material to minimize damage and corrosion during storage.
What is the spares demand requirement in Aircraft maintenance?
It requires the replacement and movement of components between organizations, ensuring correct identification and classification to maintain Airworthiness.
What happens if components are not correctly identified and classified?
It could lead to unsuitable items being accepted by maintenance organizations, potentially compromising Airworthiness and increasing risk to life.
How should components be classified?
-Components which are serviceable condition,released on a MOD Form 731 or equivalent.
-Unserviceable components
-Unsalvageable/Scrap components which are appropriately classified.
What must an organization ensure before installing a component?
The organization must satisfy itself that the particular component is suitable.
What must the user verify on the MOD Form 731?
The user must ensure that the Part no and Serial no on the MOD Form 731 match those on the component.
Who determines if conditioned technical equipment is serviceable?
An authorized person must determine and state whether the item is serviceable or not.
What is the purpose of the MOD Form 731 Equipment Conditioning Label?
It identifies the equipment as serviceable or unserviceable.
What information is included on the serviceable side of the MOD Form 731?
It includes details such as Part No, Serial No, Total Usage, Life Remaining, and Safety Information.
What does the label indicate if the equipment is unserviceable?
The label will indicate that the equipment is unserviceable.
What certification is provided on the MOD Form 731?
The signature/stamp certifies that the item is serviceable and that relevant safety precautions have been taken.
What should be done with unserviceable components?
Unserviceable components are to be correctly labelled and returned to the stores facility for disposal instructions.
Can units return repairable items without instructions?
No, units are not to return repairable items without first receiving instructions from the Project Team.
