 What is Maintenance ? 1

Maintenance is procedures performed to keep

something working properly or in good condition.
 Why are we Obligated to Perform Aircraft
Maintenance?
• It’s the Law ( FARs 91 & 121.)

• They say that the owner , operator or certificate

holder is responsible for maintaining the
airworthiness of & the performance of
maintenance on the aircraft, aircraft engines,
propellers, appliances and parts there of
 To what Standard must
Maintenance be performed ?
Airworthiness qualities
Resistance to vibration
FAR 43.13 states:
That the condition of whatever was worked on will be
at least equal to the original or properly altered
condition in regard to:

Resistance to deterioration
 What Has to be Used………
…When Performing Aircraft & Engine Maintenance
• FAR 43.13:
states that each person performing

maintenance…………. shall use

the tools, equipment and test equipment
necessary to ensure completion of the work in
accordance with accepted industry standards

• & The Maintenance Manual

Who Can Perform Aircraft Maintenance?
• A mechanic
• A repairmen
• “YOU” ?

• Pilot (Any Maintenance ? on any aircraft ?)

• Repair Station ? HOW???????????

• Airlines?
 What Are the
Types of Aircraft / Engine Maintenance ?

• Routine Maintenance
• Non-Routine Maintenance
• Condition Based Maintenance
( CBM)
What is Routine Maintenance ?
Routine Maintenance
is Maintenance Done
Over & Over to Assure
Airworthiness
 Routine Maintenance
• How can a mechanic find out when Routine
Maintenance has to be performed?

• How can the mechanic find out What has to

be Done in a Routine Maintenance job

• Who or What keeps track of when Routine

Maintenance has to be done
 Examples of Routine Maintenance
Are:
• Replacement of Life Limited Parts (LLPs)

• Annual Inspections

• 100 Hour Inspections

• Progressive Inspections
(A check, B check, C check, D check )
 What are Life Limited Parts?

• Examples of a Turbine Engine LLPs are?

• A List of LLPs (Where can I Find Them ?)

• Time of Replacement of LLPs are based on

 Life Limited Parts
• Aircraft / Engine parts Identified by OEM as having a
limited total life span.

Change What ?Where ?

• Engine LLPs consists of Engine rotor & Critical
Structural Parts.
Are ?
Why
• LLPs Foundare they
in TCDS changed ?
or in the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness.

• Life span given in hours, cycles or as specified in TCDS.

Time is
• LLPs must be approved by FAA
Based On ?
Contrast 100 hour & Annual Inspections
• When done ?
• Who can do them ?
• Aircraft done on ?
• Minimum Items?
• What if I go over?
 Annual vs. 100 hour Inspection

Annual Inspection 100 hour Inspection

• Done yearly on A/C not • Done every 100 hours
used for hire. on A/C used for hire.

• Performed by IA only • Performed by A&P

Minimum requirements for both

are in
FAR 43 Appendix D
Would the Airlines fall under 100 hour or annual Inspections ?

What Type of Maintenance program do the Airlines Use?

 CAMP
( continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program)
for
Commercial Airlines (FAR 121)

Includes Progressive Checks

( A Check, B Check, C Check & D Check)

&
Scheduled Maintenance
 Contrast CAMP
with
Annual & 100 Hour Inspections
What is Non-Routine Maintenance ?

It is Maintenance Work done to

address problems or things that are
broken or are not working right.

Give an Example of Non-Routine Maintenance

 HOW DOES
THE FAA
GET INVOLVED IN
Non-Routine
AIRCRAFT & ENGINE
MAINTENANCE ?
 What is an Airworthiness Directive

• Means by which the FAA notifies the

Owner or Operator of Unsafe Conditions
that exist on an aircraft, engine , appliance
or propeller

Tell me some other “Stuff” you know About ADs

Why are ADs Issued ?
What Information
May We Find in an
AD ?
 Airworthiness Directives
• Issued by the FAA.
• Requires owner or operator of an aircraft to check
for or correct an unsafe condition.
• How & when to comply is specified in the AD
• Compliance is mandatory and is the responsibility of
owner or operator.
• Compliance must be recorded in permanent records.
• Emergency ADs can ground the Aircraft
• A/C may be flown to a repair facility via specific
authority or FAA special flight permit.
 What is
Condition Based Maintenance?
• Maintenance Program that Monitors the
Conditions of a Gas Turbine Engine &
requires maintenance only when they
deteriorate to a specific level.
• Things are not broken yet, but they are getting
close.

Contrast Routine & Condition Based Maintenance

 Condition Based Maintenance
• Maintenance based on condition rather than a
schedule.
• Condition checked by inspections, checks,
computer monitoring, Trend Monitoring, &
Computer Analysis & Algorithms.
• Engines allowed to remain in service as long as
monitoring systems indicate they are
serviceable.
• Does not supersede replacement of life limited
parts
• Must be Approved by the FAA
 ALL MAINTENANCE WORK
MUST BE DOCUMENTED.
• Documented ! What does that Mean? ?

A Computer or Written record

of
Information, Evidence or Proof
 Where / In What do WE Document
MAINTENANCE WORK

In
• Log Books ( hard copy or Electronic)
• Maintenance Paper Work & Job Cards
• Computerized Maintenance & Planning System
• 337 Forms,
• Routine / Non-Routine Cards
• TODs (task oriented document)

-----------All are Required by the FARs----------------

 A HOT QUESTION
What are some reasons behind Why
MAINTENANCE WORK MUST BE DOCUMENTED.

1. Required by FAR 43.9

2. As a troubleshooting aid
3. For use in an accident investigation
4. To know that something has or has not been done.
5. Assure safety
6. Maintain the aircraft’s or engine’s value
