LEGISLATION AND ADMINISTRATION
1. CHICAGO CONVENTION 1944
1.1 Introduction
In the early months of 1944 the government of the United States invited 55 Allied and neutral States to attend a conference in Chicago to review the problems and issues associated with future international civil aviation. Fifty two (52) States accepted the invitation and their delegates held discussions in November 1944.
The outcome was the Convention on International Civil Aviation signed at Chicago on 7 December 1944 usually known as the CHICAGO CONVENTION 1944. Those States participating at the convention were identified as Contracting States. Malaysia is a Contracting State. One of the primary objectives of the Chicago Convention was to promote and develop the principles and techniques of international air navigation and air transport technical standards and recommended practices.
1.2
THE AGREEMENTS
One of the issues to which the conference delegates attached great importance was the question of the exchange of commercial rights in International aviation.
It was not found possible to reach an agreement satisfactory to all, but at the conference two agreements was established and signed as follow:
International Air Service Transit Agreement made provision for aircraft of any signatory power to fly over or to land for technical reasons in the territory of any other signatory and International Air Transport Agreement made provision, amongst other thing, for the carriage of traffic between the State of registration of the aircraft and any other signatory State. To administer these agreement a permanent body was established and known as The International Civil Aviation Organization- I.C.A.O
signed at Chicago on 7 December 1944
States participating at the convention were identified as Contracting States

International Civil Aviation Organization I.C.A.O
2.1
Introduction
ICAO was also set up as a means to secure international co-operation on highest possible degree of uniformity in regulations and standards, procedures and organization regarding civil aviation matters. INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION (I.C.A.O) was established on 4 April 1947. At the invitation of the Government of Canada, Montreal was chosen as the Headquarters of the organization. The text of the Convention is in the English, French, Spanish and Russian languages (In due course Chinese will be added) and are deposited in Washington in the archives of the government of the United States and remain open for additional signatories i.e. for countries wishing to become Contracting States. Presently there were 190 such States.
2.2 Implementation of the convention
Article 37 of the Convention requires contracting states to collaborate in securing the highest practicable degree of uniformity in Standard, Regulations, Procedures and Organizations to facilitate and improve air navigation. To this end, ICAO is required to adopt international standards and recommended practices and procedures. In Malaysia, provision for giving effect to the Article 37 of the Chicago Convention and generally regulating air navigation was made in the Malaysian Civil Aviation Act 1969 which requires contracting states to collaborate in securing the highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards and procedures and organizations to facilitate and improve air navigation. This is the authority for the Malaysian Civil Aviation Regulation, a statutory instrument which set out in detail the law of the land concerning civil aviation, inconformity with the standards and recommended practices of the International Civil Aviation Navigation.

AIRWORTHINESS LEGISLATION
11.1 Essential Features The law contained in Part 5 of the MCAR are intended to set and maintain a high standard of airworthiness by strict control of the design, construction and maintenance of aircraft. The control is achieved by the issue of certain certificates without which the aircraft is not permitted to fly.
The Setting and Maintaining High Standard of Airworthiness
REGULATIONS CONTAINED IN PART V OF THE M.C.A.R. ENSURES:
Making legal flight possible only by the issue of the following certificate
Issue of Certificates strictly limited to only personnel Qualified, Authorized or Approved by DCA
Type Certificate Maintenance Schedule CRS for SMI CMR CRS
Certificate of Airworthiness
37
11.2 General Certification Requirements

A certificate of airworthiness is issued for the prototype and for every other aircraft built to the same design. The standard of airworthiness is maintained by periodic renewal of the C of A. in many cases at the interval of 1 year or as stated in the C of A. subject to the satisfactory inspection of the aircraft and scrutiny of its technical record. Between the time of issue and renewal of the C of A, an aircraft, like any other vehicle need to be serviced and overhauled with the object of preventing or anticipating fault and deterioration. Such condition which occurs should be located at an early stage by regular inspection. These condition are the basis for the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, a document which set out a plan for the regular maintenance and inspection for every part of the aircraft. The work is carried out during a series of maintenance checks. Maintenance in accordance to the maintenance schedule is a requirement for a public transport aircraft and certain other aircraft. At the end of the specified maintenance checks, a certification is issued (i.e. CRS for SMI) to certify that the maintenance schedule has in fact been completed. Whether or not an aircraft receive a scheduled maintenance, there will be an unscheduled repairs, replacements, modifications, overhauls and mandatory inspections. All these work must be carried out accordance to specifications, drawings and maintenance, overhaul and repair manuals which is the basis on which the certificate of airworthiness is issued. A CERTIFICATE OF RELEASE TO SERVICE must be issued to certify the work has been done and in a manner approved by the DCA. This applies to work carried out on and aircraft and equally to equipment and parts removed from the aircraft to a workshop. The authority for issuing certificates is strictly limited to persons qualified by experience or examination. In an approved organization, designated staff may be authorized to sign Certificate of Release to Service in respect of certain range of work to be carried out by that organization. For work done outside an approved organization, certificate of release to service must be issued by a licensed aircraft engineers provided that the work is within the limits set by the endorsement on his license and does not include manufacture of parts.

12. CERTIFICATION OF AIRCRAFT. Ref. AN No 1
12.1
Type Certificate General
It is required that before an aircraft can be issued a Malaysian Certificate of Airworthiness in the Transport, Aerial Work or Private Category, that the aircraft for which certification is required, must be type approved by DCA or an internationally recognized airworthiness authority. A Type Certificate constitutes a statement that the design of the type to which the Certificate refers (and variants) has been approved by the Airworthiness Authority of the Country origin of the aircraft. Applicant for Malaysian certification should be aware that all aircraft, irrespective of their size, will normally be subject to investigation by DCA. When DCA is satisfied, all aircraft of similar type would qualify for C of A. This requirement applies to all categories with the exception of special Categories. The application for the issue of a C of A will also serve as an application for a type Certificate.
Malaysia does not issue Type Certificates for imported aircraft. Acceptance is based on process of validation by granting a Malaysian Certificate of Airworthiness.
39
12.2 Certificate of Approval of Aircraft Radio Installation. Ref: An 27

Another condition for issue a Certificate of Airworthiness is a requirement for an aircraft radio installation An aircraft radio installation must comply with: a. b. Malaysian Airworthiness Requirement The Malaysian Radiocommunication Regulation 1957

CERTIFICATION AND MAINTENANCE - General
An aircraft which has been constructed in a foreign country may be registered in Malaysia, providing its owner is a Malaysian subject otherwise qualified in accordance with the MCAR. After registration, the owner must apply to the DCA for a Certificate of Airworthiness, enclosing the Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the authority of the country of origin. I most cases the aircraft will be a series aircraft of a type with a well documented record. The DCA investigation will take into account the airworthiness standard of the foreign country and any reciprocal agreements in force. The DCA will seek to provide a level of safety equivalent to that required as provided for in Airworthiness Notice No.1 and its appendices. And for this purpose may impose special conditions prior to the issue of the C of A. On completion of all the requirements, the DCA issue a Malaysian Certificate of Airworthiness, including the Flight Manual where applicable. Considering the subsequent maintenance of the aircraft it must comply with the modifications and inspections which have been classified as mandatory by the airworthiness authority of its country of origin. Details of such modifications and inspection are laid down in Airworthiness Notices No.4.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (Ref; MCAR Regulation 28, AN No.89)
17.1
General
The continued airworthiness of an aircraft is dependent on its maintenance to a carefully planned programme of checks repeated at regular intervals. These maintenance check is known as Maintenance Schedule and includes detail of the extent and frequency of routine inspections and maintenance. Note the difference between a maintenance schedule and a maintenance manual. The schedule say what Is to be done while the maintenance manual describe how each operation is to be done. The MCAR states that an aircraft shall not be issued or renewed with a Cof A unless it is maintained in accordance to an Approved Maintenance Schedule to which it applies. An aircraft maintained in accordance with an approved Maintenance Schedule must have that fact certified by the issue of a Certificate of Release to Service for Scheduled Maintenance Inspection(Fig.10) and a Certificate of Maintenance Review must be in force before that aircraft is legally permitted to fly for hire or reward.

23. LOG BOOKS Ref: Regulation 35 of MCAR.
23.1
General
As one of the measure for ensuring the continuing airworthiness of aircraft, the greatest importance is attach to keeping a complete history of the aircraft. In particular this means a full and accurate record of the maintenance, inspection, overhaul, repair, replacement and modifications. Since the check schedule to which an aircraft is maintained is related to the total flying hours and associated factors, it is also necessary to record the particulars of all flight completed especially the duration of flight. For that purpose it is a statutory requirement for the operator of every aircraft registered in Malaysia to keep log book for each: Aircraft Engine Variable Pitch Propeller
Initially books are raised by aircraft manufacturers. They are responsible for entering essential data in the introductory pages. Subsequent information are entered by the operator. Approved log books are available from the CAA Note: Initiation of a continuation Log Book is the responsibility of the user and he should transfer sufficient data for continuity and should number the Log Book consecutively.

28. MAINTENANCE, OVERHAUL AND REPAIR MANUAL
28.1 General
Manuals are compiled by all manufacturers of aircraft, engine, propellers, ancillary components and all other support equipment essential to the relevant in-service maintenance programme. All information on the aspect of the specific tasks involved is covered in separate manuals. The manufacturers provides maintenance manual, overhaul manual and repair manual. In addition, a wiring diagram, an illustrated part catalogue and in some cases a tools and equipment lists and a separate weight and balance manual is also provided. This separate manual principle applies particularly where manufacturers adopt the standard format recommended in ATA Spec 100.
As a result of the different work covered by these manuals, there are variations in the breakdown of each, but basically, the breakdown of information is by systems. This is best illustrated by considering the breakdown of a Maintenance Manual. The major divisions are termed Groups, each being divided into chapters and allocated chapter numbers as shown in figure 1. Each chapter is arranged alphabetically in a group, and is divided into sections and then further subdivided into subjects designated by a dash number, as shown in the following example:-
87
Manuals containing information and recommendations necessary for the maintenance, overhaul and repair of aircraft, including engines and auxiliary power units, propellers, components, accessories, equipment, instruments, electrical and radio apparatus and their associated systems and radio stations fixed fittings must be provided by the contractor/manufacturer to comply with the procedures for the grant of C of A. These manuals are approved and certified under the authority of the appropriate approved organization.
Requirement and guidance on the format and context of these manuals is given in BCAR Chapter A5-3 and its appendix. The certification must be on the TITLE PAGE of each manual. A copy of each manual must be lodge with the DCA If requested by the DCA, the manual must be submitted for approval Revision of amendments must be certified separately and recorded on a separate record sheet The Registered of the Manual is responsible for making all arrangement with originator regarding revisions and amendments etc. If the Manufacturer subsequently publishes documents which may affect the manual, the document must be certified for content and accuracy. Amendments must be covered by letter of transmittal

Standard industrial practices such as Magnaflux testing, dye penetrant testing, riveting, plating etc. are not normally included in the manuals unless the practice is new or unique. If the manufacturers policy requires their inclusion in the manuals, they are covered within a chapter group entitled Standard Practices. Basically, the foregoing principles of breaking down information are applicable to all other manuals but variations arise, due to the different work requirements - e.g.. The work detailed in a maintenance manual compared with that detailed in an overhaul manual.

30. WEIGHT AND BALANCE OF AIRCRAFT
30.1 General
The need for accuracy when weighing aircraft is extremely important. Incorrect data could cause subsequent overloading of the aircraft resulting in an increase of structural loads and reduction in performance Aircraft exceeding 5700 Kg (12,500lbs) MTWA must be re-weighed within 2 years after the date of manufacture and, after this, a check weighing must be carried out at intervals not exceeding 5 years and at such times as the D.C.A. may require. Aircraft must be weighed to determine the Basic Weight and the corresponding Centre-of-Gravity position when all the manufacturing have been completed.
101
30.2
DEFINITIONS
BASIC EQUIPMENT is the inconsumable fluids (e.g. coolant and hydraulic fluid) and equipment which is common to all roles for which the operator intend to use the aircraft. BASIC WEIGHT is the weight of the aircraft and al of its basic equipment, plus that of the declared quantity of unusable fuel and unusable oil. In case of turbine engine aircraft, the MTAW of which does not exceed 5700kg (12,500ib), it may also include the weight Of usable oil VARIABLE LOAD is the weight of the crew and of items such as crew baggage, removable Units and other equipment the carriage of which depends upon the role for which the operator Intends to use the aircraft for a particular flight. DISPOSABLE LOAD is the weight of all persons (e.g. passengers) and items of load Including fuel and other consumable fluids carried in the aircraft other than the basic Equipment and variable load. M.T.A.W is the Maximum Total Weight Authorized for the aircraft and its contents, at which the aircraft may take off anywhere in the world, in the most favorable circumstances in accordance with the Certificate of Airworthiness or Flight Manual.
102
30.3
Aircraft Weight Schedule. Ref: MCAR Reg. 36
(1)
Every flying machine and glider in respect of which a certificate of airworthiness issued or rendered valid under these Regulations is in force shall be weighed, and the position of its centre of gravity shall be determined, at such time and in such manner as the DCA may require.
(2)
Upon the aircraft being weighed the operator of the aircraft shall prepare a weight schedule showing(a) either the basic weight of the aircraft, that is to say, the weight of the aircraft when empty together with the weight of unusable of fuel and unusable oil in the aircraft and of such items of equipment as are indicated in the weight schedule, or such other weight as may be approved by the DCA (b) either the position of the centre of gravity of the aircraft when the aircraft contains only the items included in its basic weight or such other position of the centre of gravity as may be approved by the DCA.
(3)
Subject to regulation 86, the weight schedule shall be preserved by the operator of the aircraft until the expiration of a period of six months following the next occasion on which the aircraft is weighed for the purposes of this regulation.
103
31 . APPROVED RELEASE CERTIFICATE. Ref: AN No.29
To ensure compliance with D.C.A requirement, all materials and parts, or parts subjected to special processes, must be released to the consignee under the authority of an Approved Release Certificate. Approved Release Certificate are considered as being Certificate of Conformity and cover materials or finished/partly finished parts. Firm releasing items which can be categorized as modified, overhauled, repaired or rectified must clearly indicate the category on the Certificate. Approved Stockists must record the manufacturers recommendations. e.g. the heat treatment or process on raw material Instructions for the completion of the DCA Authorized Release Certificate/ Airworthiness Approval Tag (ARC) is laid down in DCA Airworthiness Notices No.29A, appendix 2(maintenance) and 3(New parts)
104
APPROVED RELEASE CERTIFICATE( A.R.C) - General
MUST BE ISSUED CONSECUTIVELY AND BEAR A PRINTED SERIAL NUMBER
IF RAISED AND SUBSEQUENTLY CANCELLED, COPIES MUST BE MARKED TO INDICATE SUCH ONE CANCELLED COPY RETAINED

AUTHORIZE RELEASE CERTIFICATE/ AIRWORTHINESS APPROVAL TAG USER/INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
It is important to understand that the existence of the document alone dose not automatically constitute authority to install the Part/component/assembly. Where the user/installer works in accordance with the national regulations of an Airworthiness Authority different from Airworthiness Authority specified in block 2 it is essential that the user/installer ensures that his/her Airworthiness Authority accepts parts/components/ assemblies from the airworthiness authorities of the country of origin specified in block 1. Statement 14 and 19 does not constitute installation certification. In all cases the Aircraft maintenance record must contain an installation certification issued accordance with the regulation by the user/installer before the aircraft may be flown.
Original Documents are available at source for inspection / verification if necessary.

APPROVED STORE PROCEDURES

APPROVED STORE PROCEDURES
32.1 Introduction
During the construction and maintenance of an aircraft, an essential procedure in ensuring its airworthiness is the strict control of all parts and material used. Consider the typical case of an airline company which is approved by the DCA to carry out to certify overhaul, repair, replacements and modifications to its aircraft and equipment. The parts and material used in this work must come from a bonded store containing only those parts and materials intended for aeronautical purpose which has been certified as conforming to drawings and specifications. Parts and materials which are unserviceable or which awaits certification are kept quite separate in a quarantine store.
113
In a bonded store, a part which has been passes out of an airlines own workshops is identified by a label bearing the part number, serial no. if applicable), description of the item and certificate of release to service signed by the appropriately type rated LAE. Also contained in the bonded store are newly manufactured parts, and parts which after a period of service have been overhauled, repaired or modified by another organization approved by DCA for this purpose. A part or material received by the airline form another organization is accompanied by an Approved Release Certificate issued by that organization certifying conformity with the standard and specifications for the parts and with the requirement of the DCA. Before being placed in the bonded store the part or material is inspected for deterioration in storage and damage during transit.
In many cases one certificate relates to a number of items with the same part number. In this case the parts are allocated a batch number with a cross reference to the appropriate certificate. A part which has been manufactured but does not meet the published standards or specifications may still be certified fit provided that a concession is authorized by the design authority.
114
32.2
STORAGE CONDITIONS
General The correct handling of materials in transit and in storage is of extreme importance. They must be protected from damage by chafing or contact with other materials, and adequately supported to maintain the intended shape without strain. Temperature and relative humidity. Store premises must be clean, well ventilated and maintained at an even dry temperature to minimize the effects of condensation. Temperature and humidity must be check at regular intervals. Protective Materials for Storage Purposes. Vapor Phase Inhibitor (VPI) - Stored articles made of ferrous material may be protected against corrosion by this method. VPI protect by its vapor, which envelop any article in an enclosed space and inhibits the corrosive action due to the presence of moisture and oxygen. Paper and board treated with VPI are available for making up containers in which to store articles. The process are to be used only where approved by the manufacturer of article to be stored. Protective Oils, Fluids and Compound Where approved by the manufacturer of an article, protection from corrosion may be obtain as a temporary measure by the application of an oil fluid or compound. Subsequently the articles should be inspected at intervals and handled as little as possible.
115
Desiccants These are substance which prevent corrosion by absorbing moisture either inside a packaging container or a component. Silica Gel and Activated Alumna are the substance most commonly used for this purpose. Desiccants should be inspected and/or renewed at specific periods or when an airtight container has been opened. Care must be taken to avoid introducing moisture into a dry container when inspecting or renewing a desiccant. An indicating (tell tale) type of desiccant is used to give a visual indication of the moisture content by its color. Minimum moisture is when the crystals are deep blue. As moisture is absorbed the color may become paler and at saturation is pink. Desiccants may be reactivated by a simple heat treatment process to remove the moisture. Racks and Bins Open racks allowing free circulation of air are preferred. Painted metal bins are more suitable than wooden type. Rotation of Issue Stock should be issued out in the same order as it is received into stores, especially if the item are perishable. Storage limiting period Manufacturers sometimes imposed limit on the period for which a unit may be stored. At the end of such period the unit must be transferred to the quarantine store pending checking or overhaul as recommended by the manufacturer. Flammable Materials. Materials which burns easily, such as dope, thinners and paints should be kept in a store isolated from the main building.
Segregation of Stock Some materials needed to be stored separately from others. Carboys of acid are an obvious example, since escaping fumes may effect raw materials or finish parts. Phenolic plastics must be segregated from cadmium plated steel parts to avoid corrosion of the latter. Magnesium alloy must be stored away from flammable materials. Packaging of stock Magnesium fitting should not be kept in sacks, which have been known to cause corrosion. Polished aluminum or bright steel fitting should be wrapped in papers only if the paper is impregnated with sodium chromate.
