Q

What is the procedure for submitting and approving a change request to existing equipment or operational position layout?

A

Procedure:

Completion of Change Request Form:

  • The Change Request Originator completes Part 1 and 2 of the Change Request form AA/FORM/186.
  • Include STAR references if the change is related to a STAR Recommendation.

Peer Review:

  • Submit the Change Request form to the TC for peer review.
  • If the TC has no suggested changes, the form is forwarded to the GEM/GM for approval.

Assessment by GEM:

  • The GEM, in consultation with appropriate Engineers, assesses the Change Request for practicality and performs a cost/benefit analysis.
  • If the GEM agrees, the request is signed off and forwarded to the GM for final approval.
  • ATC then processes the change, producing instructions and APSA as required.
  • If the GEM disagrees, a statement explaining the reason for rejection is provided, and the request is forwarded to the GM for endorsement of rejection before returning to the Originator or TC.

Note:
If safety or business continuity is at risk, the GM or GEM can approve the change request immediately without further consultation.
