SECTION 1
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL
The owner/operator or the person in charge for the management of the continued
airworthiness must make sure that the inspections appearing in the maintenance schedule
are carried out in the prescribed intervals.
Nothing of what is contained or omitted in the maintenance schedule discharges the
owner/operator from the responsibility to make sure that the aircraft is maintained
airworthy.
The maintenance schedule must hold account of the operational requirements, as well as
all requirements of maintenance rising from the modifications or repairs.
The modifications made to the maintenance manual must be accepted by the qualified
services.
The owner/operator must modify its maintenance schedule according to directives of the
qualified services, the publications delivered by the manufacturers (service bulletins,
revisions to the maintenance documents), the maintenance documents of the
manufacturers following a modification. This update is carried out within one year as from
the diffusion of the requirement of the authority or the recommendations of the
manufacturer. A personalized follow-up must be set up to carry out these inspections in
waiting of their insertion in the program.
The specificities of the country in which the aircraft is registered must be taken into
account.
B. DEFINITION OF MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, with preventive vocation for all the components taking part in the
airworthiness condition, is composed of the whole of the operations which contribute to
maintain the aircraft on a satisfactory level of safety. It incorporates generally:
inspections: examinations of various levels, having for goal to objectively

recognize the state of a component;
specific actions, predetermined or not: interventions for purpose of conservation,

like corrective actions resulting from the;
replacements of components in the given term;
Particular operations having the aim of making sure of continued operational

features or consecutive to certain unforeseeable occurrences.
Accordingly, the maintenance schedule is a document which describes the operations

necessary to maintain the aptitude of an aircraft for being operated, in particular as
regards aptitude for the flight, of maintenance of the equipment as of the means of radio
communication/navigation whose presence on board is required by the regulation.
The application of the airworthiness directives is managed in a way personalized to each
airplane.

Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
Flight safety sensitive maintenance tasks (M.A. 402(a)):

- The tasks for which the manufacturer's documentation has explicitly planned an
independent inspection;
- At least: a practical work on a control system which, in case of errors, could lead to a
failure, a malfunction or a defect threatening flight safety.
A control system is a system of the aircraft which may change the flight path, the
flight attitude or the propulsive force of the aircraft, Notably the flight controls, the
engine and propeller, the related control systems and the associated operating
mechanisms.
Examples of possibly sensitive maintenance tasks:
- Installation, setting and adjustment of flight controls.
- Installation of engines, propellers on aircraft.
- Overhaul calibration or adjustment of components such as engines, propellers,
transmissions and gearboxes.
It is the responsibility of the person who issues the aircraft Certificate of Release to
Service (CRS) to assess how critical is the maintenance task carried out so as to
determine the need for an independent inspection. It must also take into account for this
evaluation; knowledge on how experienced is the person who performed the tasks
involved.
Under AMC at M.A. 402(a), independent inspection means an inspection carried out by
a person other than the one that made the task to be checked.
However for airplanes less than 2730 kg that are not complex motorized airplanes,
alternate solutions may be proposed for the approval of the authority (example: selfinspection, if not simply taking in the same order, the steps already completed, but
including verification points that do not assume to know how was performed the task to be
checked).
A special inspection shall be carried out after any flight safety sensitive
maintenance task unless otherwise specified by Part-145 or agreed by the
competent authority.

C. TERMINOLOGY
Flight time Definition
Breakdown time since the aircraft starts moving towards the runway by means of its own
power plant till the time it stops at the end of the flight.
Routine inspection
Overall inspection or test of good jettisoning. It enables to check the good working order of
an assembly of the aircraft without forcing to a removal.
Visual investigation or visual check
It is one of the components of the above mentioned routine inspection. The aim is to
ensure carefully that a given element is in good serviceable conditions. This investigation
is carried out visually, in situ. Example: Search for cracks or corrosion.
Detailed inspection
Consists in a complete examination of a part or an assembly with removal if necessary in
order to detect defective parts and foresee which ones could lead to catastrophe.
Detailed investigation or detailed check
It is one of the components of the detailed inspection. It consists in an accurate
examination of an element either visually, after removal, or with the help of magnifying
glass or the help of another means of investigation (dye-penetrant inspection, magnetic
particle inspection, eddy current).
Verification
It is one of the components of both routine inspection and detailed inspection. It is an
operation through which an element is checked to ensure its compliance, or state, possibly
using a measuring instrument. Example: verification of the tension of control cables.
Bench test
Complete operating test following removal of the equipment on a bench test in a
workshop. It leads to establish technical records.
Operational test
Operation only necessary to make sure that a system or equipment is in good working
condition. These tests do not require any special equipment or any special installation
other than those required on the aircraft (power supply). They must be comparable to
those carried out by the operation crew.
Functional test
This test is only used to ascertain that a system or component functions in every way
according to the minimum acceptable specification in relation to the original design of the
system or the equipment. This test can require a11itional ground equipment and must be
more detailed and precise than operational test. The definition of this test must include all
means necessary to conduct these tests allowing the possibility of maintaining the
reliability of systems or equipment at an acceptable level. Requires a report to be done.
Calendar time inspection (aging inspection)
Consists in a routine or detailed inspection depending on the maintenance operation table
column, with calendar time interval, to detect defective parts or conditions due to aging
(storage ).

Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
Global Test
Test using radiation, with no removal, by means of specialized benches.
Life Limit
Time after which a life timed equipment must be replaced (example for radio: ELT
batteries).

SECTION 2
TIME BETWEEN INSPECTIONS
The aircraft must be inspected in accordance with the interval of periodic inspection per
table 1. The intervals of inspection may vary within the tolerances set.
Instructions and detailed procedures related to maintenance schedule are listed in section
6.The maximum periodicity of an inspection is marked by a dot () in the relevant column.
REMINDER: MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NECESSARILY CUMULATIVE
Example 1: a 500 h maintenance inspection shall include instructions planned at 50 h, 100 h and 500 h.
Example 2: a 3 year maintenance inspection shall include instructions planned at 1 year and 3 years.
For maintenance operations listed as routine / or detailed and with calendar time, the
calendar time inspection must only be performed if no routine or detailed inspection has
been performed within the calendar time interval.
Example: for operation item 25.20 , the one year interval inspection will be performed
only if 100 hour routine inspection has not been done within the one year interval.
Tolerances
A certain amount of tolerance is given in which to perform inspection operations, to enable
a more flexible use of the aircraft. Thus, inspections related to aircraft operation may be
made to coincide with calendar type inspections.
Note: Permissible tolerances cannot be cumulated.
Example: if a 100 h inspection is performed at 110 h, this same inspection cannot be
subsequently performed at 220 h but only after a maximum of 210 h.
Therefore, such tolerances cannot lead to eliminate one 100 h inspection out of ten.

Weigting
Refer to Aircraft flight manual, maintenance manual.
First interval: 5 years. A weighing form with inventory is to be filled out.
Time between two weighings shall not exceed 60 months. It is tolerated that this expiry is
deferred to the 1st grounding of the airplane for planned inspection occurring immediately
after 60 months (cf. fascicule GSAC P-61-10).
Weighing must be carried out:
- after:
> a major modification
> a major repair
> a main conversion of interior equipment
> complete painting of the aircraft.
- each time a modification insufficiently precise of the condition of the aircraft does not
allow the update weight and balance record by a simple calculation.

SECTION 4
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS
This section provides the special inspections of an aircraft following abnormal events such
as:
After:
Overweight landing. Landing on unapproved runway,
Flight in excessive turbulent atmosphere,
Flight in hail,
Engine or propeller limits exceeded,
Aircraft limits exceeded,
Too high and gusty wind conditions (effects on control surfaces, etc.),
etc.
In the demonstrated lack of manufacturer's recommendation or instruction developed in
the maintenance schedule, the aircraft that has encountered an exceptional event will not
be airworthy any longer and inspection procedures for the return to service of the aircraft
shall be developed, approved and carried out before further flight.
Any person who performs maintenance work has to use the methods, techniques, practices,
parts, materials, tools, equipment and test equipment recommended by the manufacturer.
It is recommended to draw ones inspiration from document:
Advisory Circular AC 43.13 Acceptable methods, techniques, and practices Aircraft
inspection and repair .
This section is intended to clarify the requirements for the inspection of aircraft after abnormal
events; there is also general advice on how to perform these inspections.
Aircraft Certification specifies their use within certain limits which determine so-called normal
operating. In the case of exceeding these limits due to abnormal operating conditions, or that
the aircraft was at risk or constraints for which it was not designed, the integrity of the structure
or the good operation of the engine and of its systems may be compromised.
In the presence of any indication or evidence that the limits have been exceeded, or the
aircraft has been damaged, an inspection of the aircraft must be performed to ensure it is still
airworthy.
The following paragraphs provide an overview of the inspections required after some of the
more frequent abnormal operating conditions.
The procedures described are not intended to be exhaustive and do not assert to consider all
possibilities. It is the person performing the inspection duty to assess the circumstances of
each case and decide on appropriate action. In case of doubt, one will contact the
manufacturer or the competent civil aviation department.
It is normally expected that the inspections described in this section are carried out by a
qualified mechanic. It is even common that only the pilot of the aircraft is able to assess the
severity of the incident or there is nobody else who can decide what action to take. To take
Page 25 of 36
Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
into account situations where the services of a mechanic are not available, it is recommended
that the following procedure be applied.
Abnormal operating conditions, including, without limitation, those described in this section,
must absolutely be recorded in the log book. Wherever possible, the registration should give
an idea of the seriousness of the incident.
An inspection of the aircraft will then have to be performed before the next flight; it will
preferably be carried out by a mechanic with the appropriate qualifications. If it is impossible to
obtain the services of a mechanic, the pilot of the aircraft will perform the inspection. In this
case, the inspection will necessarily be limited to areas which are not subject to the issuance
of a certificate for return to service after maintenance, that is to say, the inspection does not
require disassembly of parts.
If the pilot feels that the aircraft is in a satisfactory condition for the intended flight, it shall make
an entry to that effect in the logbook, so a full inspection takes place upon return of the aircraft.
The pilot will then take the planned flight or the flight segments until it reaches the facility
where the remaining steps of the inspection can be made. No special flight permit is required
in the circumstances. On the first occasion, the mechanic, with appropriate qualifications, shall
inspect and approve the aircraft for return to service.
If, to the opinion of the pilot, the aircraft is not airworthy, or if the severity of the incident is such
that its airworthiness is questionable, even after a satisfactory preliminary inspection, the
aircraft shall then be inspected by a mechanic who will sign the approval for return to service
after the inspection, so that the airplane can resume its flight.
In the following paragraphs, no distinction is made between actions that may be part of the
preliminary inspection by the pilot and the actions taken by the mechanic.
If there is any doubt as to the airworthiness of the aircraft, take off will not be allowed before
the mechanic has signed approval for return to service after maintenance.
Hard or overweight landing.
The landing gear of an aircraft is designed to withstand the impact of landing within certain
weight limits and at a given rate of descent. Exceeding one or the other of these parameters
during a landing will almost certainly damage the landing gear or its supporting structure.
Landing gear may also suffer excessive stress when the airplane lands drifting, so that the
front or tail wheel touches the runway before the main landing gear for example.
However, if it is known or suspected that there was a hard landing, consult the flight crew to
determine the landing conditions and whether the pilot heard noise characteristics of a
structural damage.
Damage caused by a hard landing primarily affects the landing gear and its supporting
structure in the wing or fuselage, as well as the wing-to-fuselage connection points, the engine
mount and attachment. Secondary damage can occur to the structure and the upper and
lower surfaces of the fuselage, as well as the structure and wing skin, depending on the
configuration and load of the aircraft.
Because of the many factors involved, it would be impossible to give detailed instructions on
how to perform the inspection, it varies depending on the type of incident and the aircraft type.
However, preliminary inspection made after the incident should normally cover the following
points:
Landing gear
Remove the fairings.
Check tires for creeping on wheel, flat, bumps, cuts, loss of pressure and any abnormal
dilation
Page 26 of 36
Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
Check the wheels and brakes for leaks, cracks or other damage;
Inspect axles and torque links to check if they are bent or damaged;
Check oleo struts for leaks and other;
Detailed inspection of the undercarriage attachment and of adjacent structures by
looking for cracks or other damage and checking for play; this inspection may require
removal of critical fastening bolts to allow to perform meticulous non-destructive
testing;
Inspect structural elements adjacent to the attachment points of the undercarriage,
looking for cracks, deformations, rivets or bolts showing play;
Inspect access doors and fairings to check if they are damaged or distorted;
Jack airplane; have the nose wheel steering mechanism operate.
Make sure of the easy sliding of the gear shock strut (after deflation, put a hose on the
valve not to lose hydraulic fluid).
Wings, fuselage
Inspect extrados and intrados wing skin for damages;
Search for traces of seepage or leakage of fuel at the wing tanks;
Inspect the wing-to-fuselage junction fairings for cracks and signs of having moved;
Make sure that the flight controls move freely and with full deflection;
Inspect the balancing weights, the support of flight servo-unit; look for cracks on the
brackets and joints of the control surfaces and make sure that the control surfaces are
free of damage and they do not jam in operation;
Inspect the fuselage skin for wrinkling or other damage;
Make sure that emergency devices are not activated (Emergency Locator Transmitter);
Check for deformation of pipes and ducts, or if they are leaking;
Engine
Make sure that the engine and propeller controls move freely and with full travel;
Inspect the engine mount and supports and make sure they are not damaged nor
distorted; check the tubular frames ensuring that they are not bent nor show cracked
welds; check attachment bolts for damage or play;
Make sure rotary assemblies move fully free. Sparking plugs must be removed to make
sure that propeller and inner parts of the engine rotate or move freely;
Inspect engine cowlings for wrinkling or distortion and make sure fasteners are in good
condition;
Check for evidence of oil leakage, fuel leakage or hydraulic fluid leakage ;
Inspect the battery support and attachments;
Check proper alignment of the propeller shaft.
Tail assembly
Make sure control surfaces move freely;
Look for cracks in the joints of the rudder and stabilator; inspect the control surfaces for
cracks and distortion, particularly around the balance weight supports;
Inspect the attachment points and fairings of the stabilizer, as well as the trim system
and its supports; make sure there is neither distortion nor play.
Structure - Skin
Check the surface of the wing at the spar (integrity of trailing edge at wing rib no. 8
when moving the wing tip, signs of broken sticks, peeling of plywood, torn rib lacing
knots etc.).
Inspection of the attachment of the stabilator bearings (peening, bruising of wood).
Page 27 of 36
Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
Propeller
Inspect spinner and blades ends for shocks
Ground runs
If the inspection has revealed no major structural deformation, then a ground run can be
performed to make sure all systems and controls are working properly. It will include a
general check for leaks, engines running.
Flight through severe turbulence
Damage that can occur to an aircraft flying through turbulence are of the same type as the
damage caused by a hard landing, except that they will be more evenly distributed and
that the landing gear, wheels and brakes are likely to remain intact .
During a flight in such conditions, the aircraft structure is subjected to sudden acceleration
or transverse vertical, the effects of these can be multiplied by the inertia of the heavy
components such as engines, fuel tanks.
We can then expect that damage occurs to the main attachment points, including wing-tofuselage or tail-to-fuselage attachments, as well as engine-to-cell attachment.
Damage can also occur in parts of the wings, of the fuselage, of the stabilizer or of the
control surfaces where the bending moment is at maximum, roughly half length thereof;
deformation thus caused will result in wrinkle coating or cause other damage of this kind.
The inspection performed after a flight turbulence report should include the "hard or
overweight landing" inspections except, in most cases, the steps involved in the inspection
of the landing gear.
In all cases:
- Detailed inspection of the engine mount attachments
- Visual inspection of all control surfaces, of their bearings and control levers.
- Check the free movement of flight controls throughout their operating range.
- Make sure of the proper sliding of the canopy (condition of rails).
Further dismantling and, in some cases, removal of parts of the coating may be necessary
to permit inspection of the support structure in areas where there has been damage to the
coating
Speed limits or load factor exceeded
In cases where it is reported that the aircraft has exceeded its approved speed limits or
load factor, the inspection required is the same as that specified for a flight through severe
turbulence.
In cases where the exceeded limit applies to a given configuration, e.g. lowering limits of
the flaps, the required inspection may then be limited to areas of the cell that were
affected.
Incidents related to a burst tire
If a tire burst during taxiing, takeoff or landing, fragments of the tire can damage parts of
the aircraft which are in line with the wheel disc. Damage may also occur due to the fact
that the wheel rolls on a paved runway and it transmits shocks to the leg of the landing
gear and its supporting structure.
Page 28 of 36
Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
In most cases, the wheel concerned will be repaired or put out of operation. In addition, the
following checks should be performed:
Inspect the other wheels, the tire of which did not burst ;
Inspect the brakes of the landing gear involved and look for signs of damage. The
cause of the burst can be overheating brakes that were not loose enough; it will then
be necessary, when replacing the wheel, to pay a special attention to the condition of
operation of the brakes, especially in regard to the frictionless rotation of the wheel,
once the brakes are released;
examine the leg of the landing gear in question, including pipes and hydraulic hoses,
looking for signs of damage or leaks of hydraulic fluid;
Inspect the supporting structure and the attachment points of the leg of the landing
gear, looking for cracks, warped panels or loose rivets. In some cases, it may be
required to remove some critical resistant structural support bolts in order to proceed to
non-destructive testing;
Inspect the adjacent parts of the wing skin or of the fuselage for evidence of damage.
Strong wind or jet blast
Aircraft parked can be significantly damaged by strong wind or by the blast produced by a
jet or propeller of other aircraft taxiing or performing a ground run in the vicinity. Small
aircraft are particularly vulnerable to this type of damage that may be caused by the blast
itself or by thrown debris. Following such incidents, inspect the aircraft as follows:
Check control surfaces for deformation or other signs of internal damage.
Control surface deflections;
Flight Controls: make sure of the free movement of controls, inspect the cables at
pulleys level, check stops, inspect joints (lever and bell crank).
Check whole cell, including windshields, for impact damage such as chips and marks,
and check if the engine air inlets, cooling ducts, etc. contain debris;
If the blast was strong enough to move the entire plane, the need to conduct an internal
inspection to discover structural elements damaged, or a verification of symmetry of the
whole aircraft, or both must be considered.
Landing gear: inspect the landing gear struts for deformation, crack initiation. Check
the condition of axles. Inspect landing gear attachments to the fuselage and the wing.
Check the condition of tires.
Bad fuelling
This kind of incident includes refueling with contaminated fuel.
When it is realized that an aircraft tanks were filled with contaminated fuel or with fuel a
degree inadequate, it must be determined if the fuel has already reached the engine. If by
chance the problem is detected before the fuel reached the running engine, it is enough to
drain all the fuel with care.
To this end, the aircraft (or tanks concerned) will be emptied of all the fuel, making sure
that the tanks are arranged so that the drain outlet is located at their lowest point. After
draining and once the tanks are filled with clean fuel, finally supply lines must be cleaned
and the engine operation checked by performing a ground runs.
If the engines were supplied with polluted fuel, applicable corrective actions depend on the
type of engine and type of pollution. One must refer to the maintenance manual and the
Page 29 of 36
Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
certification of the type of engine concerned or to the data sheets of the type certificate for
additional details.
Significant change in climatic conditions
Check the tension of the flight control cables at each significant change of climatic
conditions (temperatures).
Salty or tropical atmosphere
Close inspection for corrosion of all metal part every year.
Shock on propeller
Refer to AD 2004-10-14. Refer to propeller manufacturer document.
Impact on the leading edge of the wing
Damage to the wings of aircraft made of wood and fabric very often require repair. It was
noted that further damage outside the impact area exposed, could often be caused to the
structure of the wings.
Therefore, in the context of flight safety, when a shock on the leading edge of the wings
causes damage requiring repair, it is recommended to completely remove covering of the
wing affected by the incident.
This covering removal should allow a thorough inspection of the wooden structure and
glued joints to make sure of the integrity of the wings before a return to service of the
aircraft.
Depending on how important is the shock, the wing main spar deforms to the rear in a
flexion / torsion in the horizontal plane which can cause secondary cracks sometimes
appearing at a certain distance from the main damage.
If the spar exceeds the elastic limit, following the impact, the damage is transmitted to the
spar itself. Cracks are formed in the grain direction of the plywood coating at the extrados
and/or extrados (45 ) and more rarely against the direction of the fibers at the splice scarf
joints of the plywood.
Unsticking between the spar caps and the upper and lower surface coatings may also
occur.
In the case of an impact on the leading edge of an aircraft wing with a dihedral (aircraft
type: Jodel, DR ...) a visual inspection allows, firstly, to measure the deformations at the
dihedral rib tail by inspecting the lower and upper fabric at this level.
If internal failure, the fabric relaxes with the deformation of the ribs rods.
Repair: Any repairs that would not have been already approved must be the subject of a
record of repair submitted to EASA for approval.

SECTION 5
CONTROL FLIGHT
Control flights must be carried out at the end of the achievement of certain maintenance
operations; the cases of current liability and the methods of their execution are defined
below.
1. Case of liability
1.1.
Complete control flight (see paragraphs 3 & 4)

A complete control flight consists of:
checking aircraft general performance as laid out in flight manual (take-off,
climbing, and bearing) and the correct operation of various systems.
And,
carrying out procedures which do not usually apply to flight operations
(especially emergency procedures).
A complete control flight shall be carried out:
after a 2000 h / 6 year inspection,
or
after major repairs following an accident unless an exemption was obtained
when approval of the repair.
1.2.
Abbreviated control flight
An abbreviated control flight only consists of checking some aircraft system functions
that are directly or indirectly related to the work carried out.
An abbreviated control flight must be carried out when, at the completion of a
maintenance operation, a ground test is not sufficient to make sure the airplane is
operating correctly, specially:
after an intervention on the flight controls, except exemption after
demonstration, planned in the maintenance schedule accepted by the
qualified services, or
Page 31 of 36
Doc. no. 1001586GB
Chapter II
after replacement or reinstallation (*) of the engine (except for single engine
fitted with fixed pitch propeller. An exemption can however be obtained from
the qualified services, for the aircraft maintained within an approved
framework, when it was shown by at least two consecutive control flights that
the operations of replacement or reinstallation were carried out in a fully
satisfactory way; the demonstration of reinstallation is worth only for the
reinstallation; no exemption can be granted for a replacement relating to
more half of the engines installed; or
when, after a design change or a repair of the aircraft, the need to carry out a
control flight is stated in the design change file or approved repair file or
for the radio installations, after a maintenance inspection which required
demounting and the bench test of the equipment, or after a routine inspection
by the method known as of global test.
(*) Replacement is the removal of an engine followed by the installation of another
engine, and reinstallation is the removal and reinstallation of an engine to its original
position without any major intervention (such as the replacement of module) being
carried out on this engine.
2. Remarks
At each control flight, check the carbon monoxide CO ratio during climb and during
cruise. The CO ratio should permanently be lower than 50 ppm. Use an electronic
portable CO detector with 1 ppm resolution. During measurements, take the precision of
the detector into consideration.
