It’s the System Used by Engineering to Follow-up on Maintenance Status of each A/C.
529- What is the Meaning of:
AML
ADD
PADD
SADD
(8.6.1.1)
- AML: Aircraft Maintenance Logbook

* Reserved to Permanent CB
- They will be Identified in the ADD Section of the AML.
533- What’s the Relation Between Maintenance Procedures and MEL?
(8.6.1.3)
- The Maintenance Procedure shall be Applied
Before Applying the MEL
- If Repetitive Actions are Required:
* Maintenance Must be Applied Before the 1st MEL
Dispatch and Repeated at Defined Periodicity.
534- What is a Verification Flight?
(8.6.1.4)
- It’s a Flight that will Validate the Use of the Aircraft
Under Normal Procedures
- This can be Performed on Non-Revenue or Revenue
Flight with an AML entry:
* “Verification Flight Required”
* “Verification Flight Carried Out Satis”.
535- What happened if a Defect Occurs After Doors Closed and Before Taxi?
(8.6.1.6)
The Capt. can Accept the Defect without Consulting Engineering if:
- It’s Covered by the MEL
- There is No Maintenance Procedure (M) Required.
536- What happened if a Defect Occurs After the A/C Start Taxiing?
(8.6.1.6)
- If it occurs During Taxi and Before the TakeOff Roll:
* It’s a Capt. Decision
- Before Making a Decision to Continue or Return to Gate:
* Any ECAM will be Completed
* FCOM And/Or MEL Referred to.
537- What is the Procedure to Follow if the Aircraft is Unserviceable On Ground (AOG)?
(8.6.1.7)
If Manned:
- Contact IOC then Engineering by phone, VHF,
ACARS or HF
- Review the MEL, consider CFDS
- CX Engineering can approve Another Local Engineer to
Carry out Repairs
If Unmanned:
- Consider: Engineering Section
(Defect Options At Unmanned Stations) 8.6.1.18
- Or Look at Article 11(1) Dispatch.
538- What is the Procedure to Follow if the Aircraft is Unserviceable once Airborne?
(8.6.1.7)
- Contact IOC then Engineering by any means Available
- If a Diversion is Required consider:
* Engineering & Good Communication at Diversion
* Schedule Flights to Hong Kong for Passengers.
539- Related to Maintenance,
What is a ‘CRS’?
(8.6.1.7)
A Certificate of Release to Service (CRS).
540- When is a ‘CRS’ Required?
Who can Write it Down in the AML?
(8.6.1.9)
- A Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) is Necessary:
* After any Maintenance Actions to the Aircraft
* For every Overnight Aircrafts (Not in Transit)
- The Signature of a Qualified Type Engineer is
Required and Constitute the CRS.
541- If a Duplicate Inspection Work is Due after Maintenance on Engines or Flight Control Systems,
Can the Commander Signed One Part of It? (8.6.1.9)
(8.6.1.13)
- Yes the Commander can Certify One Part of a Duplicate
Inspection Work.
* It’s simply a Crosscheck of What the Engineer did
in the 1st place According to the Proper Doc
- Additional Information at:
Engineering
(General)
(Duplicate Inspections)
8.6.1.13.
542- Under Which Circumstances an Article 11(1) of the AN(HK)O can be Issued?
(8.6.1.9)
When the Maintenance Work has been Performed by
a Non-Licensed Engineer
- And / Or the Engineer do Not feel Comfortable to
Certified the Maintenance Performed:
* The Commander exercise Discretion to Fly to a
Manned Station where the CRS can be Issued
(Signed by a Qualified Engineer)
- This Above constitutes Article 11(1) Dispatch.
543- What’s Specific about MEL which does Not Required a Maintenance Action (M)?
(8.6.1.9)
- They are Not Subjected to Article 11(1)
- If any (P)(S)ADD need to be Entered in the AML:
* The Pilot Can do it at an Un-Manned Station
+ If such the CRS will Remain Un-Signed
Until the Aircraft Reach a Manned Station.
544- What are the Broad Lines for the CRS?
(8.6.1.9)
- It’s only Required if Maintenance Work has been
Carried Out
- Only a Licensed Type Engineer can sign the CRS
and by then Validate It
- The commander Cannot Sign in the “Authority Column”
- The commander may Enter Details of Actions Taken and
Signed by his ERN within the “Action Taken”
column in the Situation of an Unmanned Station.
545- What is a Temporary Authorization,
Where to Find its Requirements?
(8.6.1.10)
- It’s a Company Procedure that will Allow a Non-
Licensed
Type Engineer to Issue a CRS
- Reference can be found at:

* (Summary of Temporary Authorisation versus
Article 11(1) Dispatch) 8.6.1.12 p222
* (Example of AML Entries for Dispatch Under
Temporary Authorisation) 8.6.1.25 p233.
546- Under what Circumstances the Temporary Authorization shall Not be Granted and an Article 11(1) Dispatch Preferred?
(8.6.1.10)
In case of the Engineer who carried out the work
- Does Not Feel Comfortable to Certify the
Maintenance Performed.
547- What are the Headlines of Article 11(1) Dispatch and
Where to find Detailed Information?
(8.6.1.11)
- It allows an Aircraft to be Dispatch after a Maintenance
Action Not followed by a CRS
- It can only be done after Consulting CX Engineering and
Informing the Duty Operation Manager (DOM)
- The Decision to Dispatch under Article 11(1) is Solely a
Capt. Decision
- CX engineering can only Advise Based on the Capt.
Report
- The Aircraft must be Flown to the Nearest Location at
which the CRS can be Signed
* In this Context it Can Be in Hong Kong
- If the Aircraft is Dispatch under Article 11(1) a Written
report Using Form ‘Article 11(1) Dispatch Form KA/03’
will be sent to CX QA and Technical Manager Airbus
- The CAR shall be Annotated
