Study Notes

Propeller Identification

The holder of the Type Certificate or Production Certificate for a propeller, blade, or hub must legibly mark the information using a fireproof method, or attach a manufacturer's data plate with the information.
The information must be marked in a way that prevents defacement.
If a data plate is used, it must be attached to a non-critical location to prevent defacement or detachment during normal operation, and avoid loss in an accident.
A person must not remove or alter a manufacturer's plate without CASA approval.

Part 42 of CASR 1998

CASR Part 42 outlines Continuing Airworthiness requirements for aircraft and aeronautical products, including maintenance.
This part covers Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMOs) and authorization for CASA to issue MOS for CASR Part 42.
CASR Part 42 is applicable only to Australian aircraft and their products when operated under a Regular Public Transport (RPT) Air Operator's Certificate (AOC).
The CAMO, the AOC holder, and the Registered Operator can be the same person.

Legislative Documents

CASR Part 42 regulations and the Manual of Standards (MOS) are two legislative documents.
The two documents are supplemented by Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material (AMC/GM) and Advisory Circulars (ACs).
A legal instrument empowered by regulation 145.015 of the CASR, Part 145 MOS Instrument 2011, specifies maintenance requirements and airworthiness.

Part 42 Subparts

CASR Part 42 is divided into subparts (A to O) which are further divided into divisions.
Subpart 42.A - Preliminary (Purpose of Part, Applicability of Part, Definitions, Part 42 Manual of Standards, Requirements for registered operators)
Subpart 42.B - Division 42.B.1 - Preliminary, Division 42.B.2 - Continuing airworthiness requirements.
Subpart 42.C - Continuing Airworthiness Management requirements for the responsible person
Subpart 42.D - Maintenance requirements
Subpart 42.E - Aeronautical products requirements
Subpart 42.F - Requirements for Approved Maintenance Organisations (AMOs)
Subpart 42.G - Requirements for Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMOs).
Subpart 42.H - Maintenance Certification and Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) requirements
Subpart 42.I - Airworthiness Reviews and Airworthiness review certificates.
Subpart 42.J - Approval of Maintenance Programs and variations
Subpart 42.K - Directions to vary approved maintenance programs
Subpart 42.L - Approval of reliability programs and variations
Subpart 42.M - Continuing Airworthiness requirements for pilots
Subpart 42.N - Record keeping requirements
Subpart 42.O - Copying or Disclosing cockpit voice recording information

CASR Subpart 42.1

The Airworthiness Review, an official statement that the aircraft is airworthy, must be carried out by the CAMO.
Aircraft cannot operate without a valid Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC).
If an ARC is suspended and expires, it must be renewed prior to further operation.

CASR Subpart 42.J

This subpart covers the approval of maintenance programs and variations to those programs.
It includes approval processes by CAMOs and CASA.

CASR Subpart 42.K

This subpart includes directions regarding the modification of approved maintenance programs.

CASR Subpart 42.L

This subpart covers approval of reliability programs and their variations.

CASR Subpart 42.M

This subpart outlines pilot responsibilities in ensuring a pre-flight inspection and recording information in the flight technical log, including defects and abnormal occurrences.

CASR Subpart 42.N

This subpart covers record-keeping requirements, including legibility, retrieval, and protection from damage.

CASR Subpart 42.O

This subpart relates to copying and disclosing cockpit voice recorder information.

Unapproved Parts

A part is unapproved if counterfeit, not approved, not a standard part, produced outside of CASA or NAA authorisation, modified outside of Part 21 approval, unserviceable or unsalvageable, or accompanied by a fraudulent document.

Control of Unapproved Parts

If a part is unapproved, a label or tag must be applied within 2 days listing identifying information.
Details of the part's origin and reason for unapproval, must be determined within 2 days, if possible.
Store the part separately and secure it from servicable aeronautical products.

Reporting Unapproved Parts

Reporting of unapproved parts is mandatory to CASA and the relevant Type Certificate Holder or Foreign Type Certificate Holder.
A formal report to be completed and submitted.

Action Required if Parts are Not Required to Be Kept

If CASA notifies a person about a part, the person must act within 2 days to separate the part from others, or mutilate it.
If part owner, the same action is required within 2 days.

CASR Subpart 42.F

This subpart covers Continuing Airworthiness requirements for Approved Maintenance Organisations (AMOs).
Approval of Subpart 42.F Organisations, Changes to Subpart 42.F Organisations, and Requirements and Offences for Subpart 42.F Organisations are discussed

CASR Subpart 42.G

This subpart covers Continuing Airworthiness requirements for Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMOs).
Approval of CAMOs, Changes to CAMOs, Authorization of pilot licence holders to provide maintenance services, Requirements for and offences by CAMOs are required requirements.

CASR Subpart 42.H

This subpart covers requirements for maintenance certification and the Certificate of Release to Service (CRS).
Maintenance certification for aircraft and aeronautical products, Responsibility for maintenance certification are key points.

CASR Subpart 42.1 (Airworthiness Reviews and Airworthiness Review Certificates (ARCs))

Subpart I details ARC issuance, extensions, procedures, relationship with the CofA (Certificate of Airworthiness).
The Airworthiness Review ensures aircraft airworthiness.

Maintenance Schedules

A large aircraft requires an approved maintenance system within its maintenance program.
Class B aircraft (not commercially flown) use schedules as per CAR 41.
Manufacturer schedules and CASA schedules are used for maintenance schedules.

Modifications and Repairs

Modifications to aircraft must have Part 21 approval.
Repair schemes to the aircraft or components must have Part 21 approvals.
If a repair exceeds the outlined limits or scope, more options may be required.

Maintenance Documentation (Aircraft Logbooks)

Aircraft logbooks are required to be kept by the certificate of registration holder.
Important records such as maintenance, certification, components installation/removal, AD compliance, and changes to aircraft empty weight must be recorded in logbooks.
All logbook sections must be bound and consecutively numbered.

Alternative Aircraft Logbooks

CASA may approve alternative methods for aircraft logbooks, including AOC holder's logbooks.

Maintenance Records

The AMO is required to control the processes for identification, documentation, storage, and retrieval of maintenance records.
The records must be protected from damage.

Applicable National and International Requirements in Maintenance I (10.7)

This section describes aircraft maintenance management programs.
Various documentation for maintenance is included (including MEL, MMEL, and CDL)
This section details instructions for continued airworthiness, modifications, and repair schemes.

Applicable National and International Requirements in Maintenance II (10.7)

This section describes continuing airworthiness and its management.
It discusses aspects such as test flights, ETOPS/EDTO, and all-weather operations.

Defect Reporting

Operators, maintenance organisations, and manufacturers must report malfunctions, failures, defects, and any instances that endanger safe operations.

System Outcomes

The Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) system assists in effective decision-making.
It helps to track defects and institute corrective actions, and provides a more comprehensive database for airworthiness decisions.

Major Defects

Major defects are defined as those causing a primary structural, control, or engine failure, or a fire in an aircraft.
Discovered major defects must be reported to the Certificate of Registration (CofR) holder and CASA, as well as any incidents relating to the AD.
