Applicability

Annex 6, Part 1 (4.7.2.6):


4.7.2.6 The State of the Operator shall, when approving maximum
diversion times for aeroplanes with two turbine engines,
ensure that the following are taken into account in providing the
overall level of safety intended by the provisions of Annex 8:
a) reliability of the propulsion system;
b) airworthiness certification for EDTO of the aeroplane type;
and
c) EDTO maintenance programme.

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 7


Applicability
Chapter 4 – Section 4.1.1

4.1.1.1 As explained in Section 2.1.5, there are no additional EDTO


airworthiness certification, maintenance procedures or
maintenance programme requirements for aeroplanes with
more than two engines.

Although an operator may consider as good practice for its operations with
aeroplanes with more than two engines some elements detailed in the
following sections of this chapter, these are primarily intended for, and
applicable to, EDTO operations of twin-engine aeroplanes only.

Accordingly the information and guidance in this Module 6 are primarily intended
for and applicable to EDTO operations of twin-engine aeroplanes only

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 8


Terminology
Chapter 4 – Section 4.2.1

The term Operator’s “EDTO maintenance programme” means the


maintenance related elements (maintenance tasks, organization
manuals, procedures, etc.) that must be implemented by the operators to
support their EDTO operations.

In this context, the aeroplane’s maintenance programme for


EDTO is one element of the operator’s EDTO maintenance
programme.

EDTO Significant Systems
Definition & concept

Recall (see Module 4): Both Aeroplane Manufacturers and Operators have to
develop an EDTO Significant Systems List

A system is identified as “EDTO Significant” when it has a unique influence for


EDTO, i.e. it specifically participates to the EDTO philosophy : "Preclude and
Protect the diversion“.

Accordingly, a EDTO Significant System is either:


‒ A system whose functional failure or degradation could adversely affect the safety
particular to an EDTO flight, or
‒ A system whose continued functioning is specifically important to the safe flight
and landing of an aeroplane during an EDTO diversion (for the contemplated
maximum diversion time)

EDTO Significant Systems
Creation and utilization

Review by the Review by the


Manufacturer Operator

(established by the Manufacturer) (may be identical to the one


provided by the Manufacturer)

The list of EDTO Significant Systems is a fundamental element of the


Operator’s EDTO Maintenance Program, as the list is needed for establishing :
‒ The Reliability monitoring and tracking program, and the reporting of EDTO relevant events

‒ Most of the elements of the EDTO Maintenance Program (e.g. Verification Program, Dual
Maintenance Restrictions, elements of Training Program which must bring special attention on
Qualified Maintenance Personnel, EDTO Service Check, etc… ) – see next slide

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 20


EDTO Significant Systems
Creation and utilization

The list of EDTO Significant Systems is an input for the following


elements of the EDTO Maintenance Program

Determine elements on which performing similar


actions should be avoided

Identify the elements of training program which have


to bring special attention for qualified staff

Develop reliability monitoring, tracking and


reporting of EDTO relevant occurrences

Develop verification program

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 21


EDTO Significant Systems
Example list

Example of a list of EDTO Significant Systems: WP-911 series


Operators are required to identify systems that are
significant to their EDTO operations.

• Manufacturers may usually provide guidance on


EDTO Significant Systems for operator use.

• In most cases, the list from the Operator is


identical to that of the Manufacturer

• It is not expected that items from the list of the


Manufacturer are removed

The list from the Operator is approved or validated


by the local authority and included in the EDTO
Maintenance Procedures Manual.

Review Questions

Question 6.2 :
On the aeroplane above, the EDTO dispatch with APU inoperative is allowed
for 10 days as per the MMEL. Furthermore, there is no configuration or
maintenance standards related to the APU in its EDTO CMP document, nor
any APU related P/N that are not approved for EDTO in the EDTO Parts List.
Is it correct to say that the APU may therefore be removed from the EDTO
Significant System list of this aeroplane?
– Yes
– No

EDTO-related maintenance tasks
EDTO Qualified Maintenance Staff

Criteria for EDTO qualification :


• An EDTO qualified staff is a person who has received an EDTO
training

• Criteria to be met for being rated as an EDTO qualified staff, as well


as for the currency of such qualification, should be detailed in the EDTO
Maintenance Procedures Manual (EMPM)

• Selected EDTO related maintenance tasks should be accomplished by an


EDTO qualified staff

• Purpose : promote EDTO awareness by ensuring only EDTO qualified


27

maintenance personnel accomplish selected EDTO related tasks


05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 27
EDTO-related maintenance tasks
Identification of tasks

Identification of EDTO-related maintenance tasks :


• The maintenance tasks related to EDTO are typically tasks impacting EDTO significant system(s)
• Note: Tasks or sub-tasks which are not impacting any EDTO significant system(s) should not be considered as
EDTO-related tasks even tasks supporting the overall verification process.

• The operator should select from the list of EDTO-related tasks those tasks which must be
accomplished by EDTO qualified staff.

Selected
EDTO related tasks

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 28


EDTO-related maintenance tasks
Identification of tasks

Identification of EDTO-related maintenance tasks :


• The selected EDTO-related tasks should be identified on the routine work /
task cards, parceled together and identified as an EDTO package
• It is not mandatory for the Operator to identify EDTO related tasks in their
maintenance program. If the Operator choose to NOT identify the EDTO related
tasks, then ALL tasks should be accomplished by EDTO qualified maintenance
personnel.

• The selected EDTO-related tasks should be retained for their EDTO relevance
EDTO-related and could include the installation, testing and/or servicing of airframe and propulsion
maintenance tasks systems identified in the EDTO significant systems list
• The filtering / selection process for identification of these selected EDTO-related tasks should be
developed by the operator

EDTO Parts Control
Required EDTO configuration of the aeroplane

The required EDTO configuration of the aeroplane is defined by the


applicable EDTO CMP Document :

CMP Configuration  Minimum Standard of system / component


Aeroplane’s
items  Additional system / component
configuration
required for
EDTO

• Recall : the aeroplane must be configured, maintained and operated in accordance with the
EDTO CMP Document, which means that the aeroplane should be configured as per the EDTO
CMP standards as long as it is operated on EDTO flights. 33

• Accordingly a Parts Control program must be put in place before start of EDTO.
05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 33
EDTO Parts Control
Purpose of the EDTO Parts Control Program

The purpose of the EDTO Parts Control Program is to ensure


compliance with EDTO CMP configuration standards

• The EDTO Parts Control Program should ensure that:


‒ Parts approved (required) for EDTO are
obtained and used; and
‒ Parts not approved (authorized) for EDTO are
not used

• The EDTO Parts Control Program is therefore the mean to


maintain the EDTO Type Design configuration, relying on:
‒ EDTO CMP document instructions 34 Aeroplane’s
configuration
‒ EDTO Parts List and Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) required for
EDTO

EDTO Service Check
Visual (physical) vs Cockpit checks

Acceptability of Cockpit checks* instead of visual (physical) checks


• Adequate consideration of the following factors make it possible to increase the number
of legs and flight hours between physical checks :
 The reliability of today’s A/C systems and engines
*Note : Cockpit checks could
 The accuracy of the indicating system be performed by the Flight
Crew, in coordination with MCC
 The low level oil consumption

Example of implementation :
Main base (departure point) : physical checks

Intermediate point (transit) : cockpit based service checks

Destination (extended transit) : physical checks + cockpit check for APU parameters

Question 6.4 :
What is the primary purpose of the Reliability Program for EDTO ?
– Allow early identification and prevention of EDTO related problems
– Ensure that the IFSD rate is not exceeded
– Monitor MTBF of EDTO Significant Systems
– Reduce operational interruptions that are “EDTO relevant”

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 51


Reliability Program
Basic principles and objectives

The objective is to allow early identification and to prevent


re-occurrence of EDTO related problems i.e. typically
involving EDTO Significant Systems.

• The program should enhance the operational


reliability and/or the Continuing Analysis and
Surveillance System program already in place.
• The program must also be event oriented, as
EDTO relevant events must be investigated reported:
• EDTO relevant events must be reported to the

Dual Maintenance Limitations
General Policy

As explained, the operator’s program should :


• Schedule concerned work at different checks
• Divide concerned work into separate work packages

Manufacturers may provide guidance (e.g. dual maintenance matrix) to support


the Operators in identifying tasks that may be subject to dual maintenance
limitations. See also next page for a typical flowchart for dual maintenance task
identification.

If Dual Maintenance cannot be avoided, the following are possible options :


‒ Use different technicians
‒ Utilize an inspector or supervisor to inspect the work being performed
‒ Perform sufficient verification tests on both systems

implemented to support EDTO operations.
Regulation

APU Oil consumption Monitoring Engine Oil consumption Monitoring

The engine and APU oil consumption monitoring program must :


‒ Be sensitive to oil consumption trend (oil added with reference to a running average).
‒ Define responsibilities and interfaces.
‒ Provide a procedure for oil analysis if considered meaningful – Refer to EDTO CMP Document
and/or engine manufacturer instructions to confirm if such procedure is required for EDTO.

Oil Consumption Monitoring
Requirements and Policy

An Oil Consumption Monitoring program must be


EDTO

EDTO
implemented to support EDTO operations.
Regulation

The purpose of the engine and APU oil consumption monitoring


program is to :
‒ Determine baseline oil consumption rate for each engine and APU
‒ Identify excessive oil use on previous flight
‒ Determine any medium/long-term increasing trends in oil consumption rate and not exceed the
maximum allowable

Oil consumption monitoring is an EDTO operational requirement to ensure consumption rates


established by the engine manufacturer are not exceeded. Investigation and correction of
consumption rate problems could prevent failures such as IFSD or loss of APU.
‒ Note : It is not a requirement to develop target consumption rate for EDTO, however the maximum rate
must be able to support a single engine diversion

Requirements

APU In-Flight Start Monitoring must be implemented


EDTO

EDTO
by the Operator
Regulation

The objective is to ensure the APU will continuously provide the performance and
reliability demonstrated by the manufacturer in the frame of EDTO certification.

• APU must be in EDTO Configuration

• Each aeroplane’s APU should be periodically sampled rather than


repeatedly sampling the same APU in the Operator’s fleet
The APU must
demonstrate a high
degree of reliability
• Start intervals should be adjusted according to system performance,
and availability for fleet maturity, Operator’s in-service experience and should be
EDTO flights approved (validated) by the State of the Operator

APU In Flight Start Monitoring
Requirements

95% success rate is defined for APU


EDTO

EDTO
In-flight start reliability.
Regulation

This 95% success rate is demonstrated at time of EDTO certification of the


aeroplane, and must be monitored by the EDTO operators once in service
• Periodic high altitude cold-soak in-flight start tests should therefore be performed by the
EDTO operators, and related in-flight start statistics be recorded and as applicable be reported.

• A successful start is typically when the APU can be started within 3 attempts

• Note 1 : This in-flight start reliability objective is applicable only to “on-demand” APU
operations i.e. it is not applicable if the APU must be started prior to entry into EDTO sector.

• Note 2 : EDTO regulation do not define APU run reliability, as it depends on applicable Type
Design objectives (typically an MTBF of 1,000 APU hours or more is required)

05/11/2019 ICAO EDTO Workshop – Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations 87


APU In Flight Start Monitoring
Recommendations

APU In-flight start reports may be issued


to track the reliability.
These reports are reviewed to identify need for corrective actions
(e.g. maintenance program update or APU design upgrade)
The EDTO regulations are usually not prescriptive on the
frequency of APU In-Flight Start tests, nor on the definition or
duration of “cold soak”
• Interval typically ranges from 1 start test per month per aircraft
to 1 per year, depending on operator’s in-service experience and
maturity of EDTO maintenance program
• Cold soak is usually 2 to 4 hours in cruise

Recommendation is to perform a high altitude cold soak start test after every maintenance actions
that may impact the start capability of the APU :
• e.g. APU change, Replacement of Electronic Control Box (ECB), Fuel Control Unit (FCU), ignitors...
Additional guidance or recommendations may be provided by the manufacturer.

Documentation & Training
EDTO Maintenance Procedures Manual (EMPM)

The operator should include EDTO information in the


EDTO

EDTO
EDTO maintenance procedures manual (EMPM).
Regulation

The EMPM should identify the operator’s EDTO maintenance practices (as detailed in
previous sections of this module) supporting the EDTO operations, as well as responsible
persons and/or organizations.
• The EMPM contains the Operator’s requirements, policies, procedures, roles and
responsibilities for EDTO
• Note : this information may be included in relevant part(s) of the basic maintenance
procedures manual (MPM) or published as a “stand alone” EMPM.
The EMPM should be subject to revision control, and should be reviewed and validated
(approved) by the State of the Operator in the frame of the specific approval for EDTO.

Module 6 : Maintenance Considerations
Summary

• The objective of EDTO regulations and standards related to Maintenance is to maintain the
risk at a minimum constant value.

• Accordingly, procedures such as dual maintenance, service check, oil


consumption monitoring, APU in-flight start tests, configuration control,
verification program and reliability program have to be set.

• The EDTO Operator has to define and implement an EDTO maintenance program to
address the items above.
‒ Roles and responsibilities are detailed in the EMPM, which describes the operator’s
procedures and requirements for EDTO.
‒ It also includes the training and qualification of the involved maintenance personnel

• Coordination and communication between Maintenance and Flight Operations


organizations is necessary for safe and reliable EDTO operations.
