    Study Notes

    Registered Operator Responsibilities

    • Registered Operators (ROs) must follow safety regulations and ensure employees/flight crews are familiar with local laws and regulations.
    • Compliance Statements assess applications for Operations Manuals (and Maintenance Control Manuals, where applicable).
    • AOC holders need a current CASA Certificate of Compliance to show satisfactory passenger liability insurance.

    Operator's Responsibilities for Continuous Airworthiness and Maintenance

    • Continuing Airworthiness Requirements (CRS) are needed after any maintenance on an aircraft.
    • Rectification of defects, compliance with Airworthiness Directives, and only approved modifications/repairs are required.
    • Life-limited aeronautical products need replacing, and an Approved Maintenance Program is to be followed and measured.
    • Serviceable operational and emergency equipment is required, along with an Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC).
    • Maintenance details must be recorded in the flight technical log for any operational or emergency equipment that isn't in the approved design or regulated.

    Minimum Equipment List (MEL)

    • The MEL is a CASA-approved document.
    • It outlines conditions where aircraft can operate with inoperative equipment while being dispatched.
    • The MEL provides a timeframe for rectifying faulty items based on operational significance.

    Configuration Deviation List (CDL)

    • The CDL identifies any missing external aircraft parts before flight.
    • Some examples of missing parts and the impacts are given in the sample CDL, such as a winglet, and performance penalties on takeoff/approach climbs, ceiling reduction with one engine inoperative, and fuel increase.

    Operator's Responsibility to an Aircraft Maintenance Program

    • CASR Subpart 42.C outlines the continuing airworthiness requirements for aircraft and aeronautical products.
    • A Part 145 approval is needed for a maintenance organisation to service aircraft.
    • An Approved Maintenance Program (AMP) is needed for each aircraft, outlining scheduled maintenance tasks and their frequency.
    • An approved AMP must be followed at any given time.
    • Maintenance Program details should be annually reviewed, incorporating revisions into the program.
    • Applicable mandatory requirements for compliance with Part 21 should be incorporated into the owner or operator's Maintenance Program as soon as possible.

    Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO)

    • CASR Part 42 separates CAMO responsibility for continued RPT aircraft airworthiness from Part 145 Organisation's maintenance.
    • The AOC holder must be approved as a CAMO to ensure ongoing airworthiness of RPT aircraft.
    • Maintenance on aircraft and products needs to be conducted only by approved Part 145 organisations.

    Responsibilities of a CAMO: Obligations

    • A CAMO ensures maintenance and certification are performed by a Part 145 Organisation.
    • Compliance with relevant Airworthiness Directives for modifications, repairs and replacements (or any other compliance required) are needed.
    • Ensuring replacement of life-limited items and maintenance compliance with Approved Maintenance Programs to keep accurate records.
    • Using an aircraft technical log and ensuring that each flight and current maintenance status is recorded.
    • All items/equipment required by regulations are serviceable and fitted.
    • Compliance with the Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC).

    Requirements for Approval of a CAMO by CASA

    • CAMO approval requires adequate facilities, equipment, and qualified personnel.
    • CASA requires access to appropriate continuing airworthiness instructions.
    • A process and procedure exposition for the organisation and its employees is needed.

    Documents to be carried in Australian Aircraft

    • All necessary documents (registration, airworthiness, maintenance, crew licenses, medical certifications, and flight manual) must be carried on the aircraft.
    • Cargo and passenger manifests, bills of lading/manifests along with crew licenses and medical certifications need to be on hand.

    External and Internal Marking and Signs

    • Australian aircraft need permanent marking/signs including nationality/registration marks, aircraft registration identification plates, and identifying words.
    • Relevant regulations/rules are around locations, counts, heights, widths, sizes, and spacing of signs on the aircraft.

    Nationality and Registration Marks

    • A hyphen separates nationality (e.g., VH) and registration (e.g., ABC) for identifying an aircraft.

    Identification Plates

    • Fireproof identification plates must be attached to accessible locations.
    • The plates must be marked with nationality and registration information in a way to prevent loss or damage.

    Identifying Words

    • Aircraft carrying limited category restrictions must have the specific identifying words (LIMITED, RESTRICTED, PROVISIONAL, EXPERIMENTAL) in visible locations.

    Safety Signs

    • Safety placards should provide necessary information/instructions to aircraft crew and passengers.
    • Signs/instructions are for safety, no smoking, seatbelt, fire extinguishers, locations, exits, emergency exits, and break-in points.
    • Designated emergency areas for rescue crews must be marked clearly in red/yellow colour with white outlines.

    Placards

    • A placard is an essential aircraft part with a unique part number in the aircraft illustrated parts list/catalogue for type approval.
    • Placards must be easily readable.
    • Procedures cards/decal details will be on pre-flight checklists.
    • They indicate inoperative equipment and are often addressed by Airworthiness Directives (ADs).

    Certification of Aircraft, Parts and Appliances I(10.5)

    • Learning objectives cover the structure and intent, purpose, and issue of types of Certificates of Airworthiness (Standard/Special/Restricted).

    Part 21 Certification and Airworthiness

    • Deals with certification/airworthiness requirements for civil aircraft.
    • Includes topics on type certification and the approval of aircraft parts/appliances.

    Type Certificate

    • A Type Certificate (TC) is issued by CASA to define a type of aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller.
    • Ensures designs meet the appropriate requirements, including testing, analysis, and flight testing.
    • Covers all aspects for approval and satisfactory operation, identification of aircraft and aeronautical products.

    Provisional Type Certificate (PTC)

    • A temporary TC that applicants may request while working towards a full TC.
    • Provides benefits such as flight crew training, sales, and marketing, and reduces insurance premiums.
    • Allow manufacturers to train staff and conduct sales tests before issuing the TC.

    Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)

    • Allows a major change to a type-certificated aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller to be approved, before it is used.
    • An STC is obtained when an organisation proposes a major change.
    • Used when selling the major change design to multiple customers.

    Type Acceptance Certificates (TAC)

    • CASA issues a TAC for aircraft types approved by foreign authorities.
    • Ensures compliance needed for the issue of Certificates of Airworthiness (CofAs) in Australia.
