Study Notes
Registered Operator Responsibilities
- Registered Operators (ROs) must comply with safety regulations and local laws.
- ROs ensure employees and flight crews are aware of relevant regulations.
- A Compliance Statement evaluates applicants' Operations Manuals and Maintenance Control Manuals (where applicable).
- Aircraft operators need a current Certificate of Compliance from CASA, which verifies satisfactory passenger liability insurance.
Operator's Responsibilities for Continuous Airworthiness and Maintenance
- Continuing airworthiness requirements are ensured by the Registered Operator (RO) before an aircraft is permitted to fly.
- These requirements include: rectifying defects, adhering to Airworthiness Directives, using only approved modifications/repairs, replacing life-limited products, complying with an approved maintenance program, assessing maintenance program effectiveness, ensuring all operational/emergency equipment is serviceable and fitted, and maintaining a valid Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC).
- A Continuing Airworthiness Review (CAR) is needed for any aircraft maintenance.
Minimum Equipment List (MEL)
- The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is a document approved by CASA detailing conditions under which an aircraft can operate with inoperative equipment.
- MELs outline the timeframe for rectifying faulty items based on their operational significance.
Configuration Deviation List (CDL)
- The Configuration Deviation List (CDL) identifies external aircraft parts that may be missing at the commencement of flight.
- Examples of missing parts and associated performance impacts/limitations are included in the CDL.
Dispatch Deviation List/Guide (DDL/DDG)
- DDL, also known as DDG, includes both the MEL and CDL.
Operator's Responsibility to an Aircraft Maintenance Program
- CASR Subpart 42.C outlines continuing airworthiness requirements for aircraft and aeronautical products, including for CAMOs.
- Aircraft maintenance must adhere to a Part 145 approval.
- A Maintenance Program details scheduled maintenance tasks and their frequencies.
- The program should be reviewed annually, incorporating any revisions affecting the program.
Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO)
- CASR Part 42 separates CAMO’s responsibility for continued airworthiness from a Part 145 Organisation's responsibility for maintenance.
- An RPT operator (AOC holder) must be approved as a CAMO.
- Maintenance operations must be performed by Part 145 approved organisations.
Responsibilities of a CAMO
- A CAMO must ensure compliance with airworthiness directives, use only approved modifications/repairs, replace life-limited aeronautical products, and fulfill the Approved Maintenance Program.
- CAMOs must maintain an aircraft continuing airworthiness record system, including technical log systems, and have an Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC) for the aircraft.
- Ongoing airworthiness tasks must be achieved before an aircraft can fly.
- This includes pre-flight inspections, rectifying defects, and ensuring equipment serviceability
Requirements for Approval of a CAMO by CASA
- An organisation seeking CAMO approval needs adequate facilities/equipment, access to continuing airworthiness instructions, qualified personnel, and processes for fulfilling regulatory obligations.
- CASR Part 42 Subpart G details initial and subsequent CAMO approvals.
Documents to be Carried in an Australian Aircraft
- CAR 139 mandates that the pilot carries required documents, including the aircraft's registration certificate, airworthiness certificate, maintenance release or continuing airworthiness review (CRS), crew licenses/medical certificates, flight manuals, any relevant radio licenses, passenger lists, and cargo manifests.
CASR Part 45 Aircraft Marking Requirements
- Australian aircraft must have specified markings, including nationality and registration marks, and registration identification plates.
- The location, sizing and spacing of markings are regulated.
Nationality and Registration Marks
- Nationality and registration marks consist of two parts: nationality marking (e.g., VH) and registration marking (e.g., ABC), separated by a hyphen (e.g., VH-ABC).
- Certain aircraft may be exempt from displaying these markings under specific conditions.
Identification Plates
- Aircraft registration plates must be affixed in an accessible location, be made of fireproof material, and have the nationality and registration marks.
- Defacement or detachment of the plate is a violation.
Identifying Words
- Restricted aircraft categories necessitate specific identifying words (e.g., Limited, Restricted, Provisional, Experimental) on the aircraft.
Safety Signs
- Safety placards must be displayed on Australian aircraft to alert pilots and passengers about safety requirements/hazards, including no smoking, seatbelt use, fire locations, and emergency exits.
- Rescue crew access areas must be clearly marked.
Placards
- Essential aircraft parts, these are safety aids recorded in illustrated parts listings and catalogues.
- They indicate inoperative equipment and may be subject to Airworthiness Directives.
Certification of Aircraft, Parts and Appliances I (10.5)
- This topic covers the structure and intent of CASR Parts 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29, including the purpose and issue processes for standard/special/restricted Certificates of Airworthiness.
Part 21 Certification and Airworthiness
- Part 21 covers the certification and airworthiness requirements for civil aircraft.
- It includes type certification (TC), airworthiness certification, production certification, and approvals for aircraft engines, propellers, materials, parts, processes, and appliances for certain types of aircraft.
- Aircraft type certification (evaluating and approving aircraft design data) is required before a Type Certificate can be issued and a Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) can be issued for an individual aircraft.
Type Certificate Issue of Type Certificates
- A Type Certificate is a document issued by CASA to define the design and certification of aircraft, engines or propellers which meet all the applicable airworthiness requirements.
Certification of an Aircraft Type
- Type certification procedures outline design standards and requirements for testing, analysis, flight testing, manufacturing, and maintaining acceptable operating characteristics.
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
- An STC allows modifications to a type-certificated aircraft, engine or propeller, as long as the modification is approved, meets the design and airworthiness standards.
Type Acceptance Certificates (TAC)
- A TAC is a document issued by CASA permitting an approved foreign type design for Australian aircraft.
- A TAC facilitates the issuance of a Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) for imported aircraft.
Application for a Type Certificate
- Aircraft type certificates require specific documentation, including drawings, preliminary data, and detailed designs including engine type and limitations.
Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS)
- This document by the NAA contains airworthiness requirements and general design details.
- It outlines specifics about the aircraft, engine, propeller, and other key aspects.
Airworthiness Certification (Meaning)
- A Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) is a necessary condition for operating a registered Australian aircraft.
- It refers either to a Standard CofA (for aircraft in designated categories like Normal, Utility, or Acrobatic) or a Special CofA (for other categories).
Certification Categories and Designation
- Aircraft are categorised both operationally and by airworthiness standards (e.g., CASR Parts 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, and 29).
- This categorization determines type design criteria and standards which are applied depending on operational requirements.
Issuing a Special Certificate of Airworthiness
- Special CofAs are issued for aircraft not meeting standard criteria, with certain requirements and categories (e.g., agricultural, forest conservation, and weather control operations).
Restricted Certificates of Airworthiness
- Restricted Category TCs are necessary for aircraft designed or modified for specific purpose operations.
Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) Application Process (Aircraft Data)
- This process outlines data required from applicants for CofA approvals when an aircraft is being based in Australia, imported, modified or in new/used condition.
Foreign Aircraft
- Specific Australian authorities issue TACs for foreign-built aircraft types that already have a valid TC in another country. This is done based on specified documentation standards set by CASA for foreign aircraft.
Duration of the CofA
- A CofA's duration depends on the Certificate's specified period or until cancellation in case of non-compliance.
