3.15.1 Purpose
To define NAC Engineering & Maintenance Policies for implement of Safety Management
System to comply with NCAR 145.A.65 (d) requirements.
3.15.3 Procedure
3.15.3.1 General
Safety Management System (SMS) is a systematic, explicit and proactive process for
managing safety that integrates operations and technical systems with financial and
human resources management to achieve safe operations with as low as reasonably
practicable risk.
Assesses the impact of these safety hazards and mitigates the risks
Provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of safety level achieved,
and
The SMS Manual assists all departments in achieving a high standard of safety in the
organization’s work and allows QA&FS to further refine and improve corporation’s safety
program.
Note: NAC has developed a SMS manual (SMSM) which is approved by CAAN. Refer to
company SMS manual for further guidance and implementation.
3.15.3.2 Management commitment to, and responsibility for, safety risk management
NAC Managing Director has signed “Safety Policy Statement” to ensure efficacy and
efficiency of corporation’s Safety Management System. The corporation has developed
management teams for insuring that the safety responsibility is discharged through the
operation of dedicated organizational system that incorporates the necessary safety risk
controls.
NAC has already implemented SMS system throughout the organization. SMS has been
implemented on phase-wise basis. SMS has been effective from date.
NAC has developed and maintained a common system for the management of emergency
response/contingency plan. NAC has developed an Emergency Response and Crisis
Management Manual (ERCMM) to provide common system in the management of
emergencies and crisis. This manual specifies the procedure to be carried out in case of
any emergency situation and roles and responsibilities of Nepal Airlines Emergency
Response Team, security, chief Team, Security, Chief Station Manager and other officials in
each emergency situation.
Planned and coordinated actions to ensure the risks attributable to a major safety
event can be managed and minimized.
Care for victims, family members and staff involved with the emergency.
a) Hazard Identification
Risks cannot be totally eliminated and the implementation of risk management process is
critical to an effective safety management program. Hazard identification is part of the
risk management process. Hazard identification is the first step in safety management
process and it includes collecting, recording, acting on and generating feedback about
hazards and safety risks in operations and maintenance.
NAC’s hazard identification processes are based on combination of reactive, proactive and
predictive methods of safety data collection through investigation of incidents and
accidents, voluntary and mandatory reporting systems, safety audits, safety surveys, and
safety data capture system. The hazard identification process takes place with non-
punitive and just safety culture within the organization. Following are some examples of
hazards:
For more detailed process of hazard identification and risk management, refer SMSM 4.4.
The risk assessment determines the level of risk based on two factors - the probability of
the occurrence and the severity of the consequences. The more severe the consequences
of an accident the probability of its occurrence must be lowered for the risk to be
acceptable. Conversely, accidents whose consequences are less severe and likelihood of
occurrence is higher may be acceptable. Using this concept as a baseline, design limits are
defined.
For detailed safety risk assessment and mitigation process and strategies, refer SMSM 4.5
and SMSM 4.6.
Safety assurance provides the confidence of performance and effectiveness of SMS. The
organization monitors, measures and evaluates the effectiveness of SMS through formal
safety review process.
It is the responsibility of QA&FS to promote the growth of a positive safety culture. SMS
training, safety meetings, seminars, etc. are used as a medium to communicate and
promote the safety policy, safety goals, safety objectives, and safety standards.
For further information on the safety promotion in the workforce, refer SMSM Chapter 6.

PART 6: CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE ORGANISATION EXPOSITION (CAMMOE)
MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
This paragraph defines NAC CAMO procedures for the compliance with the aviation Product
State of design and the State of registry mandated modifications and inspections. It provides a
comprehensive system for receipt, review, evaluation, and processing of Consigns de
Navigability and Airworthiness Directives (CNs/ADs) within the framework of the aircraft and
the aircraft components under the NAC’s continuing airworthiness responsibility. NAC ensures
that all applicable airworthiness directives have been applied and properly registered.
6.4.1 Access to Airworthiness Directives & Generic Requirements
Nepal Airlines Corporation is responsible for the accomplishment of all applicable
airworthiness directives and CAAN generic requirements.
The following mandatory requirements for airworthiness (Airworthiness Directives (AD) &
Generic Requirements (GR)) publications as applicable to the aircraft operated are subscribed
by NAC:
• State of Design Airworthiness Directives
• EASA/FAA/DOT Canada published Airworthiness Directives
• EASA/FAA/DOT Canada published Emergency Conformity Information
• CAAN published Airworthiness Directives
• CAAN approved contracting states
6.4.2 AD, ECI & GR Decision and Implementation
The in-house Part 145 maintenance organization will be advised by Nepal Airlines
Corporation Continuing Airworthiness Manager of any AD’s, ECI’s or GR’s, or revisions
thereto, which affect Nepal Airlines Corporation’s aircraft, engines, propellers or equipment at
the earliest possible opportunity with a view to establishing compliance. Where necessary,
and required by the AD/GR, Repetitive Inspections will be introduced until full compliance is
achieved. The maintenance organization will be notified of any emergency airworthiness
directives or ECI’s on receipt.
The details regarding evaluation of AD is given in CAMMOE 2.11.2.2
6.4.3 AD/ECI/GR Control - Compliance Monitoring
Airworthiness Directive, Emergency Conformity Information and Generic Requirement
compliance monitoring is the responsibility of Nepal Airlines Corporation and the task of
compliance monitoring is delegated to Maintenance Planning. The Continuing Airworthiness
Manager will review this monitoring at the Liaison Meetings. Compliance with AD/GR’s will
be verified by the Quality Manager as part of Nepal Airlines Corporation’s quality system.
6.4.4 AD/ECI/GR Control - Recording of AD/GR Compliance
The method of compliance and when such compliance was achieved will be recorded in the
aircraft airworthiness records (Log Books) by Technical Records. For AD/GR’s with repetitive
inspection content then each and every inspection will be recorded on completion in the
aircraft airworthiness records. A CRS will be issued every time compliance with an
AD/ECI/GR is established.
6.7.1 Major Change: An alteration not listed in the aircraft or aircraft engine specifications
All major changes will be raised through a contracted and suitably approved Design
Organization and submitted to CAAN by that organization. The approval of the change will
be by CAAN and will need to be recorded and held in the aircraft's airworthiness records.
Repairs will be carried out in accordance with the applicable manufacturer’s manual. When
the repair is not within limit (i.e. out of related Manual limit) ESTD will contact the Type
Certificate Holder (TCH).
The technical submittal shall include all the required data for the TCH which describe the
current situation properly. Once the repair approval sheet or the technical disposition is
received, embodiment will be carried out by the contracted AMO without deviation.
Repair classifications (i.e. major or minor) shall be determined by the TCH itself and any
repair procedure with the related inspection tasks, where applicable, shall be followed, as
specified by the type certificate holder.
Major Repair is a repair that: if incorrectly done can affect weight, balance, structural
strength, performance, power plant operations, flight characteristics, or other qualities
affecting airworthiness; or is not done according to accepted practices; or cannot be done
by Elementary Operations. Any repair that is not classified as major repair shall be treated
as minor repair.
Defects, that do not have any bearing on flight safety, which have not been accomplished but
are logged and re-scheduled to be completed at a specific time and/or location in the future
are defined as deferred defect.
Nepal Airlines Corporation will seek to ensure by Safety Management System practices that
the minimum number of open Deferred Defects exist. All open Deferred Defects will be
monitored by the Continuing Airworthiness Manager in consultation with the Part 145
maintenance organization to ensure earliest rectification and subsequent closure. All defects
that are subject to deferral action will be as per the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and its
guidelines for use, which are given in the CAAN approved MEL.
Defects such as cracks and structural defects that are not addressed in the MEL or DDG may
only be deferred as per SRM or after agreement with the Type Certificate holder and that the
defect is not of a safety concern.
When a Deferred Defect is raised the Continuing Airworthiness Manager will consult with the
Part 145 maintenance organization with a view to arranging the earliest possible rectification
action to be taken. This will involve the pre-allocation of down time, spares, personnel,
tooling etc. as appropriate.
A Certificate of Release to Service will be issued in the Technical Log upon clearance of any
Deferred Defects.
maintenance organization. The minutes will be made available on request to any duly
authorized member of the CAAN
