- Annual inspections: comprehensive checks required by regulatory authorities
- Inspection areas:
- Airframe and structural components
- Engines and engine components
- Avionics and electrical systems
- Propellers and propeller systems
- Landing gear and brakes
- Inspection techniques:
- Visual examinations
- Functional tests
- Measurement and testing
- Non-destructive testing (e.g. X-ray, ultrasound)
Quality Control
- Purpose: to ensure maintenance work meets specified standards
- Quality control checks:
- Review of maintenance records
- Inspection of completed work
- Verification of parts and materials
- Testing of systems and components
- Quality control personnel:
- Responsible for conducting quality control checks
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
- Identify and report discrepancies
Safety Protocols
- Hazard identification and risk assessment:
- Identify potential hazards in the maintenance environment
- Assess the risk of injury or damage
- Implement measures to mitigate or eliminate hazards
- Personal protective equipment (PPE):
- Required for certain tasks (e.g. welding, chemical handling)
- Ensure proper use and maintenance of PPE
- Lockout/tagout procedures:
- Prevent accidental startup of systems or equipment
- Ensure proper isolation and de-energization
- Emergency procedures:
- Fire response
- Spill response
- First aid and medical response
Record Keeping
- Maintenance records:
- Document all maintenance activities
- Include details of work performed, parts replaced, and inspections conducted
- Required for regulatory compliance and auditing purposes
- Record retention:
- Maintenance records must be retained for a specified period (e.g. 5 years)
- Records must be accurate, complete, and legible
- Electronic records:
- Allowed by regulatory authorities
- Must meet specific requirements for security, accessibility, and backup
Repair Procedures
- Repair categories:
- Minor repairs: routine maintenance tasks (e.g. replacing light bulbs)
