Q

What are the pros & cons of anticipating maintenance?

A

Pros:
- Get work done that needs to be done later, could be while have spare workforce or before going on op/ex

Cons:
- Do work early so lose that many hours of use out of component before buying a new one or doing maintenance work on it

CANNOT BREAK ADS rules

38
Q

What is the MilAR(MAR)

A

Military Airworthiness Review
An annual review (or Baseline for BMAR) of A/C and records in order to validate AW.
“MOT”

Gives a MARC(ertificate) MOD Form 710

“DDH/AM(MF) shall ensure that the air system is not flown without a valid MARC”

39
Q

Who carries out a MAR and how?

A

AR Team, who work alongside CAMO
A surveyor must have 10 years in CAw, 5 Years at super
(civvi equivalent EASA Cat B/C/ Form 4)

How:
- Records review
- Physical review
- Categorisation: Major (AW implication) Minor (unlikely AW) or Observation
         3 types AW, Eng, Husbandry
- Rect of findings (corrective action plan)
- MAR report
- Issue MARC
40
Q

A

Release to service. Part of an ADS defines the limits of the air system. Includes the SOIU

Deviations/similar:
Cleared with limited Evidence (CLE) things that are probably safe but you don’t have evidence. Such as new weapons being carried onboard or things that are safe on other A/c. 5 years max!

Op Emergency Clearance: OEC. Held by ODH, operational requirements E.g. Marines on an Apache

Mil Permit to Fly: Pre release to service.

53
Q

Explain the MACP

A

Evaluate
Agree
Demonstrate
Review
Monitor
54
Q

Explain Preventative Maintenance?

A

Aims to prevent faults before they occur rather than IRAN.

Servicing: Check/replenish consumables. e.g. BF/AF
Scheduled: every x hours or cycles these happen. E.g. Minor/Major. Can be OOP
Condition-based: as a result of findings from monitoring: Magplugs or NDT

55
Q

Explain Corrective Maintenance

A

IRAN - Inspect and Repair As Necessary

Repairing whats needed to an airworthy standard, rather than restoring to “as new”

56
Q

Who externally ensures quality of the CAMO?

A

MMA will audit the CAMO

CAMO QMS will do internally

57
Q

Talk about CAMO non-compliance.
