17
Q

What CASRs are relevant to maintenance?

A
CASR 39 Airworthiness Directive
CASR 42 Continuing Airworthiness
CASR 66 Maintenance personal Licensing
CASR 145 Maintenance Organisations
CASR 147 Training Courses, Staff & Facilities
18
Q

In what CAR does CASA allow appointment of non CASA people to make decision about application of regulations?

A

CAR 6

19
Q

What is CAMO? Describe

A

Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation.
CAMO is responsible for the training, evaluation and approval of certain individuals, within the organisation, who effectively have the power of the regulator to make certain “airworthiness” decisions under CASR Part 42.

20
Q

What statement says that “an aircraft operator must provide skilled maintenance personnel for certifying that an aircraft is
airworthy.”

A

ICAO Convention Annex 1 Chapter 4

21
Q

What is a LAME?

A

Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.

22
Q

What is AMS?

A

Aircraft Maintenance Specialists

23
Q

What are the 3 categories of AMS’?

A

AMS-1 for certifying Non-type certificated aircraft
AMS-2 for NDT, Welding etc
AMS-3 for certifying Amateur built and experimental aircraft

24
Q

What is the difference between AMS and AME?

A

The AMSs will not be licensed but will be issued with a Certificate document specifying their competencies in such processes as Welding, NDT, carpentry, etc or for certifying the maintenance on non-certified aircraft or experimental aircraft.
AME is licensed and certified to CASA regulations and standards.

25
Q

Nearly all Preventative Maintenance and Corrective Maintenance on a Class “A” Transport Aircraft is carried out by a LAME, but who else can do some maintenance? Explain

A

If a pilot is trained and authorised, he or she may carry out some preventative maintenance

26
Q

Under the new Part 66, what is the requirements for LAME?

A
  1. Airframe structure, Power plant, Mechanical & Electrical Systems
  2. Avionic & Electrical Systems
27
Q

What is the CAT A?
