Study Notes

Maintenance Records

Copies of each ARC issued, recommended, or extended, along with supporting documents, must be retained for up to 24 months after the aircraft is permanently withdrawn from service.
Records must be protected from damage, theft, and alteration, with computer back-ups stored in a different location.

Line and Base Maintenance

Line maintenance: routine and preventive maintenance performed on an aircraft before, between, or after flights, including tasks such as checking oil levels, tire pressures, and fuel quantity.
Base maintenance: periodic and corrective maintenance performed on an aircraft at longer intervals, including tasks such as inspecting structural integrity, testing systems, and overhauling engines.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting: the process of identifying the cause of a malfunction, determining its severity, eliminating the cause, and replacing or repairing discrepant components, systems, or structures.

EASA Part 66 and 145

EASA Part 66: maintenance certifying staff
EASA Part 145: maintenance organization approval, including a class and rating system for maintenance categories

Class and Rating System

Category A: maintenance on aircraft and components when fitted to the aircraft, including "line" maintenance before flight to ensure aircraft fitness.
Category B: "off-wing" or uninstalled engine and APU maintenance and overhaul.

Airworthiness Review

The physical survey of the aircraft ensures:
- All required markings and placards are properly installed
- The aircraft complies with its approved flight manual
- The aircraft configuration complies with approved documentation
- No evident defects are found that have not been appropriately addressed
The airworthiness review can be anticipated by a maximum of 90 days without loss of continuity.
An Airworthiness Review Certificate can be issued when the airworthiness review is properly carried out and the aircraft is airworthy.
