US-FAA 14 CFR PART 145 : REPAIR STATION OPERATORS The FAA may deny an application for a repair station certificate if the FAA finds that: A. The applicant holds a repair station certificate in the process of being revoked, or previously held a repair station certificate that was revoked; B. The applicant intends to fill or fills a management position with an individual who exercised control over or who held the same or a similar position with a certificate holder whose repair station certificate was revoked, or is in the process of being revoked, and the individual materially contributed to the circumstances causing the revocation or causing the revocation process, or; C. An individual who will have control over or substantial ownership interest in the applicant had the same or similar control or interest in a certificate holder whose repair station certificate was revoked, or is in the process of being revoked, and the individual materially contributed to the circumstances causing the revocation or causing the revocation process E. US-FAA 14 CFR PART 39: AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are legally enforceable rules issued by the FAA in accordance with 14 CFR part 39 to correct an unsafe condition in a product. 14 CFR part 39 defines a product as an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance Who has to comply with ADs? No person may operate a product to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of the AD. Furthermore, the owner or operator of an aircraft is required by 14 CFR 91.403 to maintain the aircraft in compliance with all ADs. When do I have to comply with an AD? The AD specifies a compliance time that relates to the effective date of the AD. That compliance time determines when the actions are required. When is an AD issued? The FAA issues an AD addressing a product when we find that: A. An unsafe condition exists in a product; and, B. The condition is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design. What types of Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are issued? We issue three types of ADs: A. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), followed by a B. Final Rule Final Rule; Request for Comments C. Emergency ADs When is an Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued? An Emergency AD is issued when an unsafe condition exists that requires immediate action by an owner/operator. The intent of an Emergency AD is to rapidly correct an urgent safety of flight situation. For more information, see the Emergency AD page. What is a superseded AD? An AD is considered no longer in effect when it is superseded by a new AD. The superseding AD identifies the AD that is no longer in effect. There are no compliance requirements for an AD that has been superseded. F.

AD may warrant urgent maintenance, inspection or modification in order to ensure that an aircraft type may not encounter potential system or component failures that may lead to tragic incidents. Thus, AD is an approved document by the authority governing the registry of an aircraft. Authorities may identify manufacturer’s service bulletin and other source data, or develop and prescribe inspection, procedure and limitations in the form of an AD for mandatory compliance pertaining to the aircraft that they oversee. Airworthiness Directives are being handled by TS1 to provide service to customers or air carriers who have Technical Service Agreement or any technical contract with LTP. The customer is responsible for the AD control, to conduct an initial review to determine if the AD is potentially applicable to their aircraft or its component. LTP shall assist as per customer request in detailed review of an AD to determine its applicability. If so, TS1 shall determine the action required and issue the appropriate engineering paper work. Compliance with an AD is mandatory. The records of accomplishment covering the AD shall be retained by LTP while the aircraft is under LTP’s responsibility. QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND SIGNATORY RESPONSIBILITIES OF LTP PERSONNEL EXECUTING AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE RELEASE 1.)

REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CONTINUATION VALIDITY OF LTP ISSUED AUTHORIZATION For an LTP authorized personnel maintaining authorization validity shall be subjected to meet the prerequisites of the authorization such as being responsible for ensuring that all relevant licenses and prerequisites for authorizations are current. And that no revoked or expired license be present that shall automatically invalidate all granted authorizations. He/she must immediately report suspended/revoked license to QM1 and corresponding Division Head, and also must be responsible for renewing his/her relevant license in accordance with the requirements of CAAP CAR Part 2.6.2.13 and Part 2.6.3.12.

SUP? DETECTION AND REPORTING SUP Suspected Unapproved Parts (SUP) may be defined as aircraft article or a part of an aircraft article that was not manufactured or maintained in accordance with approved procedures specified in aviation regulations such as 14 CFR Part 21, CAR Part 5, EASA Part 21, EASA Part 145 or that does not conform to an approved type design of certain standards, or has a missing, or altered or incomplete certification or delivery documentation. Detection: SUP may be brought into circulation with invalid or forged certificates of return to service histories or accompanying papers and incorrect labels and packaging. They may be discovered installed on aircraft during maintenance and inspection. Genuine and counterfeit parts frequently differ only in the material or production method used. They can be found or detected at any phase of inspection from goods receiving through installation or removal on aircraft. The following indicators suggest that a part may be unapproved part: Modified or unusual finish; Part is of different color; Missing data plate or unusual presentation, particularly tampered/altered part number/serial number; Part/serial number engraved in an unusual place; Generally distinctive and unusual appearance of the part. They have distinctive packaging and documentation such as incorrect, incomplete or missing documentation; modified, smudged, overwritten or over-stamped entries, particularly the date, PN or SN; the packaging looks different, example: not the original box; the use of simpler packaging like missing protective sleeves; and there is slight modification of the company logo. And also there are distinctive features from the suppliers such as the price of a part is significantly lower than the price asked by other suppliers; delivery time for a part that is not currently in the warehouse is significantly shorter than with other suppliers; supplier gives the impression that he can obtain any part in any quantity; the supplier is unable to immediately supply all the requested accompanying documents particularly the certificate of return to service, and unusual or distinctive financial procedures. Reporting/Handling: Any available information about SUP from the authorities, manufacturing organizations, customers should be passed to the Quality Management Department which will, if necessary, conduct an investigation to establish if LTP or vendor has used the affected parts. Upon discovery of a SUP, the user should provide the unit with SUP identification label/tape and immediately report to QM Department, and r
