Aircraft Technical Log Utilization

The custom er's Techni cal Log system is usu all y com posed of four log books:
· Technical Logbook (TLB).
· Deferred Defect Logbook (DDL).
· Cabin Logbook (CLB).
· Deferred Cabin Logbook (DCLB).

The operator is resp onsibl e for

- The format and contents of the logbooks
- Obtaining Civil Aviation Authority approval prior to being put TLB into use
- Create and monitor the production and distribution of TLB for all aircraft.

Techni cal log is used to:

- Recording of defects
- Maintenance performed on A/C
- Maintenance information required by the crew

The con tinu ing airwort hiness inform at ion includes:

- The operating crews observations and remarks
- Defects or incidents having effect on airworthiness;
- Results of technical inspections requested by the maintenance organization;
- Maintenance performed by the contracted maintenance organization.

MEL Appli cat ion

- MEL is established based on MMEL approved by TCH authority

- The MEL can never be less restrictive than the MMEL
- The operator Flight Operations Manual provides detailed guidance for the use of MEL.
- The operator chief inspector is responsible to obtain MEL approval from the registry civil aviation
for the issuance and any further revisions.

Categ ories of MEL

Four categories:
CAT (A): Follow the dedicated calendar / FC or FH limits for the specific MEL item.
CAT (B): 3 Days.
CAT (C): 10 Days.
CAT (D): 120 Days.
 Maintenance Program

General
- Each aircraft has a maintenance program, issue by (CAMO) and approved by the operator
authority.
- The aircraft should only be maintained to one approved maintenance program at a given point in
time.
- The purpose of this maintenance program is to provide maintenance planning instructions
necessary for the airworthiness of the aircraft.

The maintenance programs are based on:

· Maintenance review board (MRB) report
· Maintenance planning document (MPD)
· Maintenance data information on scheduling for components.
· Required integration related to installed systems not considered by the airframe
manufacturer (STCs) if applicable.
· Instructions issued by the competent authority.
· Outcomes of the reliability program.
· Instructions issued by the aircraft operator.

Resp onsibi lities:

- Maintenance Program Staff is responsible for preparation of M.P
- CAMO senior director shall review and sign M.P
- Operator chief inspector is responsible to obtain approval of the Maintenance Program with his
Civil Aviation Authority.
- Technical publication department is responsible to distribute copies of M.P to the concerned
departments

Manual am end m ents

The issued MP should be revised at least annually.
Between 2 MP revisions, it may issue partial or temporary revisions.
- Partial revi sio n
o Amendment of some section of M.P (for example ALS section) and proceed as complete
revision
- Tem porary revi sio n
o Operator chief inspector will approve and send M.P to registration authority for notification.

Acceptance by the auth ority

· The initial MP and its revisions except temporary revisions shall be approved by the competent
authority before implementation.
· Operator chief inspector must handle the approval of the Maintenance Program with his authority.
· For temporary revision, Operator chief inspector will approve M.P and send it to operator's
authority for notification.

· Receives AD status from AD/SB Record.
· Receives BOW from BOW Department
· Issues due report.
· Issues discrepancy report in case of any discrepancies
 Analysis of the Effectiveness of the Maintenance Program (s)

Purpose of the Maintenance Program Effectiveness:

Effectiveness of maintenance program is important to demonstrate that maintenance tasks
intervals is suitable to aircraft operation.

Record department PCC JCC

Base maintenance Line maintenance

Reliability department
Routine task cards performed during a period,
Non routine card issued during such period.

Reliability department
- Count the quantity of tasks implemented with NRC raised
- Produce an indicator showing the rate of NRC with the alert level.
- Issue alert notice for the tasks exceeding alert value

T.S
Study all tasks exceeding the alert value and provide
investigation result and corrective action proposal.

Reliability department
All proposed corrective actions are
discussed in RCB meeting

Proposed Corrective action can be

- Changing task content of M.P
- Create a new task.
- Reducing task interval

 Pre-flight inspection
The "Pre-flight" inspection
- Is the inspection performed immediately before each flight, to ensure that the aircraft is fit to
make the intended flight including:
o A walk-around of the aircraft and its emergency equipment
o An inspection of the aircraft continuing airworthiness record system or the operators
technical log
o Ensure that consumable fluids, gases etc. are of the correct specification, free from
contamination, and correctly recorded.
o Ensure that all doors are securely fastened.
o Ensure that control surface and landing gear locks, pitot/static covers, have been
removed.
o Ensure that all the aircraft's external surfaces and engines are free from ice, snow,
sand, dust etc.

- The content of the pre-flight inspection is included in the operation flight manual

- Pre-flight inspection is performed by the cockpit crew member (Captain or First officer),
qualified on the aircraft type.

- The cockpit crew member who performs the inspection signs the pre-flight execution on the
TLB in the "Pre-Flight" box.

- The captain is responsible to control before the flight, that the schedule preflight inspection
has been performed with positive result and that the related "Pre-Flight" box has been
signed by the crew member who did the inspection.

- The captain signs in order to accept the aircraft in the "Aircraft Acceptance Commander
Signature Box".

Ground handling activities

- Ground handling activities are described in the Operator Ground Operation Manual
- Ground handling activities are supervised by the Captain

Control of refueling

- Captain is responsible for refueling operations

- The operator responsible to contracts with the oil company and maintains an updated list of
the contracted oil companies on the base and outstations; the list is communicated to the
crew.

Control of snow, ice dust and sand contamination

In case of ice/snow presence, or if there is possibility that ice and snow can accumulate before take
off, the captain will request de-icing/anti-icing procedures,
The captain is responsible for the verification that the aircraft is free from ice or snow contamination
during take off.
