Engineering Flashcards
Who can sign the CRS?
Licensed engineer only.
Can the commander sign a duplication inspection?
Commanders are permitted to carry out duplicate inspections following maintenance
action at outstations, provided:
a. A second qualified engineer is not available.
b. Only a minor adjustment is involved.
c. The crew member is qualified on the aircraft type.
There is no engineer to sign the CRS, what can the commander do if anything?
If maintenance work has been performed on an aircraft at a line station where no appropriately licensed engineer is available to sign the CRS, the Commander may exercise his discretion to fly to a station where the CRS can be issued. This would constitute an aircraft dispatch under Article 11(1) of the AN(HK)O.
If an item is deferred to the MEL, but no engineer is available to sign the CRS, what can the commander do?
An aircraft defect or un-serviceability allowable under the MEL that does not require any maintenance action does not fall within Temporary Authorisation or Article 11(1) of the AN(HK)O. Such a defect or unserviceability is to be entered in the AML and transferred as a (P)(S)ADD as applicable from the MEL.
At unmanned stations, pilots are authorised to make these AML entries. In such a case, the CRS shall remain
unsigned until the aircraft reaches a place where an appropriately authorised licensed engineer can issue the CRS.
When is a CRS required?
Only after maint.
