Week 1 - CARs Crap Flashcards
(29 cards)
Why do you need to do inspections?
- make sure aircraft conforms to type design
- monitor components to determine service life
- detect part wearing before failure
- ensure safe to fly
When do you need to do inspections?
Anytime you are in direct or indirect contact with the aircraft.
What parts of cars are we looking at?
Part V (airworthiness) Part VI (general operating and flight rules)
What is CARs 605.85?
Maintenance Release: No person can conduct a takeoff, where the aircraft has undergone maintenance, unless the maintenance has bene certified by the signing of a maintenance release pursuant to CARs 571.10 (airworthiness manual)
What is CARs 571.10?
Airworthiness Manual:
- after maintenance, maintenance release done before takeoff
- performance rules of CARs 571.02 complied with, airworthiness standards met to sign release
What is CARs 571.02
Airworthiness Manual:
- person who performs maintenance or elementary work needs to follow manufacturer’s recommendations or equivalent practices (manuals, ADs…)
- when no manufacturer recommendations, standard practices used
What is CARs 605.86?
Maintenance Schedule:
- no person conduct takeoff or allow takeoff unless aircraft maintained IAW maintenance schedule that confirms to aircraft equipment and maintenance standards (CARs 625) and
- where aircraft operated under subpart 6 of part iv or VII (commercial aircraft), or is large, turbine powered pressurized or airship, maintenance schedule approved by minister in respect of aircraft operator
When would the minister approve a maintenance schedule for an aircraft?
If the schedule conforms with the aircraft equipment and maintenance standards (CARs 625)
What is CARs 605.84 and STD 625.84?
- no person shall conduct takeoff or permit one to be conducted unless aircraft is maintained IAW:
- airworthiness limitations applicable to aircraft type design
- applicable airworthiness directives
What are some airworthiness limitations?
- life limited parts
- Inspection tasks required by supplemental inspection document
- certification maintenance requirements
- any other limitation for continued airworthiness issued from manufacturer
What are airworthiness directives?
- issued by minister or civil aviation authority responsible fo ran aeronautical product type design
- mandatory complaince
- specfies corrective actions and timelines
- owner responsible for completion
What needs to be done before a person conducts a takeoff on an aircraft that has undergone maintenance?
The maintenance has been certified by signing a maintenance release (CARs 605.85)
Who is responsible for the completion of ADs?
The owner/operator of the aircraft.
What part of CARs is inspection regulations?
625.86 appendix b, c and d
What is scheduled inspection/maintenance?
-ongoing, repetitive assessment of the aeronautical product, required to ensure compliance with type certificate
What is unscheduled inspection/maintenance?
-assessment made to determine that aircraft continues to comply with type certificate following specific incident like hard landing, bird strike, etc
What are some abnormal occurrences that require an unscheduled/conditional inspection?
- hard/overweight landing
- extreme turbulence or manoeuvre
- IDG disconnect with engine running
- lightning strike
- aircraft overspeed
- volcanic ash
- contamination
- bird strike
- high energy stop/rejected takeoff
- tire burst
- engine-driven pump operated dry after hydraulic fluid loss
- air-driven generator deployment (ADG or RAT)
What are aircraft defects?
- categorized as unscheduled inspections
- component/system failures and any damage to aircraft
- all defects must be addressed (repaired or deferred)
What are the requirements for scheduled inspections?
- scheduling and identifying the need for maintenance is aircraft owner’s job
- any person operating aircraft needs to be informed by owner of required maintenance
- standard and associated regulations applies to ALL aircraft (including hang gliding suicide missions and ultralights)
Where are maintenance scheduling requirements found?
CARs 625.86 (Maintenance schedules) Appendix B, C, D
- Inspection and check intervals, applicability of aircraft type and role with maintenance also found in CARs 625.86
- this applies to ALL aircraft
What is CARs 625.86 Appendix B?
- inspections that must be done every 12 months on small aircraft
- Inspection must be done by end of month (ex due may 3rd, has until may 31st)
What are the different parts of CARs 625.86 Appendix B (small aircraft)?
Part 1: small aircraft, excluding pressurized turbine-powered aircraft and balloons
Part 2: balloons
What is the scope of inspection for CARs 625.86 Appendix B?
- Aircraft Generally
- Fuselage & Hull Group
- Cabin & Cockpit Group
- Engine & Nacelle Group
- Landing Gear Group
- Wing & Centre Section
- Assembly
- Empennage Assembly
- Propeller Group
- Radio Group
- Miscellaneous Items
What is CARs 625.86 Appendix C?
- identifies out of phase inspection items for all aircraft (like components that have their own maintenance program)
- has specific requirements that may fall out of phase with annual inspection (appendix B)
- Items must be completed before or on due date
- applies to ALL aircraft
