CA FORM 6 ----APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION
REPORT
CA form 4 is applicable for POST HOLDER
an CAR 145 approved organization the scope of approval
deemed to constitute the approval is given in MOE.
During maintenance any incomplete maintenance is
brought to the notice to AIRCRAFT OPERATOR
INDEPENDENT AUDIT is the important element in the
quality and safety policy
Any maintenance carried out before flight to ensure the
aircraft is fit for intended flight is LINE MAINTENANCE
The internal reporting process should be CLOSED LOOP
CERTIFYING STAFF will ensure that components is not in
airworthy condition
CDCCL--Critical design configuration control limitation
Endanger the flight safety---any instances where safe
operation could not be
assured or which could lead to an unsafe condition. It
typically includes, but is not limited
to, significant cracking, deformation, corrosion or failure of
primary structure, any evidence
of burning, electrical arcing, significant hydraulic fluid or
fuel leakage and any emergency
system or total system failure. An airworthiness directive
overdue for compliance is also
considered a hazard to flight safety.
Where an organisation approved under this CAR
terminates its operation, all
retained maintenance records covering the last 3 years
shall be distributed to
the last owner or customer of the respective aircraft or
component or shall be
stored as specified by DGCA
Significant deviation from the maintenance man-hour plan
should be reported through
the departmental manager to the quality manager and the
accountable manager for
review. Significant deviation means more than a 25%
shortfall in available man-hours
during a calendar month
Human factors means principles which apply to
aeronautical design, certification,
training, operations and maintenance and which seek safe
interface between the
human and other system components by proper
consideration of human performance.
Human performance means human capabilities and
limitations which have an impact
on the safety and efficiency of aeronautical operations.
The accountable manager may be the accountable
manager for more than one
organisation and is not required to be necessarily
knowledgeable on technical matters as
the maintenance organisation exposition defines the
maintenance standards. When the
accountable manager is not the chief executive officer,
DGCA will need to be assured that
such an accountable manager has direct access to chief
executive officer and has a
sufficiency of maintenance funding allocation.
Continuation training should be of sufficient duration in
each 2 year period

It should not take the
form of a training bulletin, or other self study
and the pass mark of the
examination should
be 75%.
Mandatory Modification means the modification
incorporated in an aircraft, aircraft component and items of
equipment after type
certification to maintain it in an airworthy condition.
An airworthiness directive means a document issued
or adopted by DGCA which mandates actions to be
performed on an aircraft to
restore an acceptable level of safety, when evidence
shows that the safety level
of this aircraft may otherwise be compromised
At the time of issue of C of A to a new type of aircraft
imported into the country,
the operator shall ensure that all Airworthiness Directives
issued by the
Regulatory Authority of the State of Manufacture are
complied with. A statement
in this regard shall be submitted to DGCA. All repeat
inspections mentioned in
the Airworthiness Directives may form part of the
maintenance inspection
schedule
the routine test flight will be conducted at maximum all-up
weight,
authorised for the type of aircraft, keeping in view the
limitation imposed
by the factors like aerodrome altitude/temperature, runway
length etc
Engine change would mean removal of any engine and its
replacement by :
(I) an overhauled engine
(ii) an engine removed from any other position of the same
aircraft or any other
aircraft.
(Reinstallation of the same engine on the same aircraft in
its original position would
not constitute an engine change for this purpose, provided
the engine has already
been flight proven and the entire installation of the engine
is double-checked and
certified.)
The "observed actual climb performance" in no case be
lower by more than 3% (in terms of ft. per minute) of the
"expected climb
performance" for the purpose of acceptance of test flight
report.
The MEL shall include all the maintenance and operational
procedures given by
the manufacturer in Dispatch and Deviation Procedures
Guide
(DDPG)/Operations procedures.
use the tools, equipment and material specified in the
maintenance data. If necessary, tools and equipment shall
be controlled and calibrated to an officially recognised
standard
Newly directly employed personnel working under
direct supervision may receive training within 6 months
after joining the maintenance
organisation.
TECHNICAL LOG
SECTION-1 should contain details of the registered
name and address of the operator the aircraft type and the
complete international registration marks of the aircraft.
SECTION 2 --next scheduled maintenance is due
SECTION 3--

iii the times at which the aircraft took off and landed.
SECTION 4--- DETAILS OF DEFFERED DEFECT
SECTION 5NEXT SUPPORTIVE MAINTENANCE
The owner or operator shall ensure when an aircraft is
permanently transferred from one owner or operator to
another that the continuing airworthiness records and, if
applicable, operator's technical log is also transferred
permanent transfer does not generally include the dry
lease-out of an aircraft when the duration of the lease
agreement is less than 6 months.
The senior management shall familiarize themselves with
the principles and
practice of Just Culture and incorporate a structured
strategy for its
development as part of the SMS implementation.
