2.2.1 General
Supply Manager is authorized to supply, contract and subcontract materials and services in
case of requisition by the operations.
2.2.2 Suppliers
Suppliers are classified as suppliers, contractors and subcontractors depending on the nature
of their role in the company supply chain as follows.
1. Supply Manager supplies all types of aircraft/aircraft component materials used in the
company for airworthiness purposes from either of the following sources:
1. Any supplier in 2.01.02 selected by Supply Manager is registered to MIS (Wings software
system “Vendor Maintenance” section) as an Approved Supplier List record (ASL).
2. All kind of quality documentation and certificates are also recorded to the same database
showing the validity data (dates, scopes and limitations).
3. All suppliers are evaluated once a year latest. Evaluations are performed in using MIS and
as result of this process an evaluated supplier either stays as approved or rejected
depending on the evaluation results.
5. If a supplier becomes rejected in the MIS, it automatically rejects any order (purchase,
repair, loan, exchange, etc.) issued, since all orders are put by the buyers using the same
system.
6. Rejected and approved suppliers are visible to the personnel via MIS at any time.
7. In case a quality document or certificate of a supplier expires in one month period, MIS
automatically sends a notification to Supply Manager in order to let renewed certificate and
records timely obtained and recorded to the MIS with the new validity data.
Suppliers falling into categories defined in 2.01.02 Para 1 and Para 2 may not need quality
system extension because of the airworthiness specifications and certifications they already
have. However, subcontractors mentioned in Para 3 need extension of the quality system to
provide services on aircraft/aircraft components during maintenance. This is achieved as
follows:
1. Where the need arises to subcontract a process or a service (work), the user operations
department finds the appropriate subcontractors from the industry.
3. If it is not listed, user informs both Supply Manager and Quality Manager.
4. Quality Manager, together with the representative(s) from the user department, audits the
subcontractor to determine its suitability for work. The audit should include, but not limited
to, the following areas:
a. Capabilities,
b. Quality system and approvals held,
c. Organizational set-up and personnel including qualification, experience and
competencies,
d. Tools and equipment,
e. Housing and facilities,
f. Documentation system and procedures,
g. Safety considerations both in terms of SMS and EHS,
h. Quality of finished products.
6. When SCLIST is revised, it is disseminated within the company using MIS (Lotus Notes
Documentation Module) in order to let Supply Manager and User become informed of the
approval.
7. Whenever SCLIST is revised as above, Supply Manager updates ASL in the MIS (Wings
software system “Vendor Maintenance” section).
8. This SCLIST is maintained by Quality Manager. It will specify the scope of work for which
the subcontractors have been approved.
9. User department must ensure that the work performed by the subcontractor meets the
following requirements:
10. For continuing assessment, the subcontractors are audited in accordance with MOE 3.01
and 3.02 procedures as appropriate.
2.2.1 Introduction
All incoming materials, including components, standard parts, raw materials, and
consumables (in short “Material”) intended for use on aircraft or components maintenance are
subject to an acceptance and a receiving inspection process.
Once materials have been checked and accepted, they are located for storage in sections
(Serviceable storage area, Unserviceale storage area) by store personnel. None of incoming
material will be stored before inspection by the Receiving Inspectors authorized by QA
Manager.
Materials intended for use on aircraft or components maintenance are accepted when the
source is compliant to MOE 2.01 and inspected iaw 2.02.03.
Acceptance process generates records in company MIS (Wings system). Material certificates
are digitized and kept as electronic copies in the company system.
The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that materials being accepted have
- required documents,
- been verified to purchase order, and,
- physical good condition.
If the material conforms to all of the inspection criteria, it is accepted to the store and
acceptance is recorded in MIS (Inventory Management Module in WINGS system) together
with the Table 1 documents. Also records like copies of any kind of reports, invoices etc. are
kept in Supply Department.
For bulky items like engine, APU or landing gears, a special incoming inspection is performed
on the received items by a B1 technician qualified iaw MOE 3.04. Such case generates
additional records using the Form OT-205, “Special Incoming Inspection for Engine / APU /
Landing Gears”. These are received in specified area, inspected for conformity and protected
as required.
MOE
If materials are not in compliance with the requirements for inspection, actions are recorded
and reported to the customer.
All relevant documents accompanying the materials are forwarded to Supply Manager for
filing.
- Materials intended for use on aircraft or components maintenance are accepted when
they have respective documents described in Table 1.
- Component life data must be stated in the remarks column of the respective
document described in Table 1 when it is a life limited part (LLP).
- PMA Parts can only be accepted if customer/operator permits so.
- Component returning from a repair shop must have shop report enclosed.
- Serial numbers (when applicable) must match with the respective documents
described in Table 1 and the other associated documents delivered.
- Designation,
- Part number, serial/lot or batch number if applicable,
MOE
o Part number and other identification data including serial number (when
applicable) written both in the component, package and documentation, must
be consistent with corresponding order records.
- Quantity,
o Quantity must meet the PO. If the quantity received does not meet the order
quantity, information and approval of Supply Manager is needed.
- Work status: new,inspected, modified, repaired, overhauled,
- Delivery documents: Inspection report, Test report, etc.
- Modification Standard and AD compliance (in case needed, Engineering is
consulted),
- Airworthiness documents: EASA Form 1 or equivalent (ARC – Authorized Release
Certificate).
- Materials being received are checked for the corresponding PO record on the
company MIS (Inventory Management Module in WINGS system). PO record must
be in “AWAITING” status.
- Material must be in a good physical condition without any damage which may affect
its proper usage and functioning. This must be checked before and after unpacking.
- Caps and plugs must be in. If not, a proper caps/plugs are installed.
- Physical condition check may require ESD measures. Refer to 2.24.10 “ESD
Program”.
On the package and/or within the documents accompanying to the material package;
Certificate of Conformity must be used for standard parts, raw materials and chemicals. The
information written on this document must prove that the part is airworthy.
It must be verified with Supply Manager that manufacturer of standard parts has reference to
a parts catalogue which is approved by national authority or has reference to a national or
international parts catalogue.
(e) Checks for frozen material that requires storage under -18°C
In the case of materials used for composite repairs (e.g., Prepreg, resins, etc.), it is very
important to pay special attention to materials which should be stored below -18°C, when
receiving composite shop materials to the store. In this case, the following procedure applies
for Incoming Inspector:
- The temperature recorder, which arrives with material and dry ice, is stopped and the
material is put in freezer as soon as the material is received.
MOE
- To prevent undesirable fiber breakage and resin transfer on roll materials, rolls are
stored by hanging appropriately. Don’t let rolls touch the ground.
- In order to prevent moisten on materials, all materials are stored in a moisture-proof
bags.
- The materials should be stored below -18°C have shelf life and shop life. Shelf life of
the material is the life limit in case of stored below the - 18°C. Shop life of the material
is the life limit in case of stored at room temperature.
- The shelf life and shop life data are given to the staff who requests the material.
- The supplier laboratory test results of materials used in composite repairs are taken
from the supplier for each batch number.
- Keep the Form OT-287 “Frozen Material Follow-up Sheet” with material.
MOE
In accordance with EASA Decision ED 2007/003/C, PMA parts received from the USA
sources are acceptable in terms of EASA regulations only under the following conditions:
- The PMA part is not a 'critical component'. A 'critical component' is a part identified as
critical by the design approval holder during the validation process, or otherwise by
the exporting authority. Typically, such components include parts for which a
replacement time, inspection interval, or related procedure is specified in the
Airworthiness Limitations section or certification maintenance requirements of the
manufacturer's maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. In
this case, the statement 'This PMA part is not a critical component' should be written
in Remarks column of the FAA Form 8130-3.
- The PMA part conforms to design data obtained under a licensing agreement from
the holder of the FAA design approval according to 14 CFR 21.303(c)(4) of the
Federal Aviation Regulations. In this case, the statement 'Produced under licensing
agreement from the FAA design approval holder' should be written in Remarks
column of FAA Form 8130-3.
- The PMA holder can show that the part has received an explicit approval by means of
a design change or STC from EASA or, when this approval was granted prior to 28
September 2003, from any of the National Aviation Authorities of the Member States
of the European Union. In this case, the reference to this authorization should be seen
in Remarks column of the FAA Form 8130-3.
A suspected unapproved part (SUP) is a part that has doubts in having the below properties:
Installation of SUP into aircraft/engine/component may possibly create an unsafe condition for
the airworthiness and flying public and must be strictly avoided. It is policy to use only
approved parts and to exercise best effort to protect the use of SUP during maintenance
activities at all levels.
It is the responsibility of Supply Manager to order the product related parts/components from
approved sources, vendors and distributers and systematically request the correct release
documentation. This is also the best way to protect the organisation from the entry of SUPs
into the system.
Purchasing ensures the procurement of 'approved parts' from suppliers who have a
documentation system, which ensures the traceability of parts to an EASA and/or FAA
approved/accepted source.
- Confirm the packaging of the part identifies the supplier or distributor, and is free from
alteration or damage.
- Verify that the actual part and delivery receipt reflect the same information as the
purchase order regarding part number, serial number, and historical information (if
applicable).
- Verify that the identification on the part has not been tampered with (e.g. serial
number stamped over, label or part/serial numbers improper or missing, vibro-etch or
serial numbers located at other than the normal location).
- Ensure that shelf life and/or life limit has not expired, if applicable.
- Conduct a visual inspection of the part and supporting documents to the extent
necessary to determine if the part is traceable to an approved source.
- Evaluate any visible irregularities (e.g. altered or unusual surface, absence of
required plating, evidence of prior usage, scratches, new paint over old, attempted
exterior repair, pitting or corrosion).
- Conduct random sampling of standard hardware packaged in large quantities in a
manner which corresponds to the type and quantity of the parts.
If, after all investigations, the receiving inspector makes sure that the part is a SUP, this
situation shall be informed to Quality Manager and Supply Manager and the part is
quarantined.
For the mechanics who install parts and/or components check for the features of the
parts/components they install. Obviously, the installers, i.e., the mechanics, are the last
protection point to prevent a SUP installation. If noticed discrepancies in the physical features
such as the shape, colour, texture, etc., installers inform immediately their
supervisor/manager, who shall notify QA Manager.
Quality Auditors may also discover Suspected Unapproved Parts during audits in
Maintenance Organisation.
MOE
In this case, this situation is informed to the EASA and the Company. A Quality Alert Bulletin
issued for the situation in order to inform organization of the situation.
In any case a SUP research is performed using EASA Safety Information link
http://ad.easa.europa.eu/sib-docs/page-1
In case of any suspect, the part/component is transferred in quarantine area for decision.
(h) Components received from customers for repair in the company shops
Customer order is checked for the correct definition of the component. Further inspections are
performed as Preliminiary Inspection by the shop personnel.
When an AD issued to a component, the Engineering checks the store inventory using the
company MIS (Inventory Management Module in WINGS system). I any applicable
component is detected, Engineering makes a request from the Supply who sends the
component to a capable shop. The component, after shop visit, is accepted iaw the same
acceptance and inspection procedure applies.
Tags are generated from the company MIS (Inventory Management Module in WINGS
system).
In case attaching a tag is not handy, not functional or impractical (e.g. in chemical cans, spray
bottles, oils, grease cans, and consumables, raw materials and standard parts of similar
nature), the sticker tags are used. After taging and identification of the material, it is recorded
in the company MIS (Inventory Management Module in WINGS system) and stored iaw MOE
2.03. The materials in any case are stored in segregated area in the store.
Recording in the company MIS (Inventory Management Module in WINGS system) and
tagging and identification of the material contains any life limit or storage limit information
when applicable.
If any discrepancy is detected during the inspection iaw MOE 2.02.03, the material is taken to
the Quarantine iaw MOE 2.02.04.
In such case,
Such material is accepted to store with the companyy MIS (Wings System) and records are
updated by the receiving inspector.
For return procedure of defective aircraft components from maintenance to store, refer to
MOE 2.19.
(b) Return of aircraft components from internal component shops after shop
maintenance release
Each component maintained is required to be release to service with EASA Form 1. For the
process of acceptance and inspection of such items to store the same procedure applies with
the ones received from external sources.
As the company procedure, the components removed serviceable from the aircraft, an EASA
Form 1 is issued iaw MOE 2.16. For the process of acceptance and inspection of such items
to store the same procedure applies with the ones received from external sources.
For the material returned due to any other reason that it is not used in the maintenance
process at all (because of excessive drawal more than required by mistake, cancellation of
the task before performing, planning change in the workscope, kit, material, etc.), Returned to
the store as like “Return Serviceable” just if it’s not used it will be stated in return form by
technician, so that the part status remains not changed. “Material Return Form” (OT-107) will
be filled for store use. This means returning material is in the same serviceable condition as it
is delivered from the store. Such material is accepted to store with the company MIS
(Inventory Management Module in WINGS system) and records updated by the receiving
inspector.
For acceptance and inspection of internally fabricated parts, refer to MOE 2.09.01.
MOE
2.3 Storage, Tagging and Release of Aircraft Components and Material to Aircraft
Maintenance
2.3.1 Introduction
This procedure describes the handling of all incoming parts intended for use on aircraft. All
parts and materials stored must be preserved in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations or standard procedures.
The Company has secure storage facilities for components, equipment, tools and materials
that ensure segregation of serviceable components, materials from unserviceable
components, materials, equipment and tools.
Access to the storage facilities which is provided for aircraft component and/or parts,
equipment, tools and material are restricted to authorized personnel.
2.3.2 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the Stores Personnel to receive parts into Stores. Store personnel are
responsible for segregation, identification of parts to assure those parts do not become
contaminated with foreign matter and that only serviceable parts are supplied to aircraft and
maintenance staff.
Store personnel are also responsible for proper issuance and rotation of stock to prevent the
expiration of shelf life.
2.3.3 Procedure
All flammable materials must be stored in a separate room adequately equipped with fire
extinguishing system. Bulk supplies of flammable fluids must be stored as specified by the
national regulations. The quantitiy of flammable material stored in the shops and hangar must
be kept to a minimum and must be stored in closed metal cabinets marked and identified as
required.
Material requiring special storage conditions shall be stored in a manner which meets
manufacturer’s requirements.
All electrostatic sensitive devices shall be handled iaw MOE 2.24.10 “ESD Program” and
manufacturer’s instructions.
All parts must be protected from water, fire, dirt, theft etc.
Refer to TPM-DPO 2.3A “Storage and Release of A/C Materials” procedure for detailed
storage methods applied in stores.
Refer also to TT-BKM 2.3 “The Storage Methods of the Parts Removed from the A/C in
Hangar” procedure for storage methods of the parts which are removed from the aircraft in
hangar during base maintenance.
All stored components and parts are correctly identified with serviceable / unserviceable tag.
Uncertain, suspected parts and components are stored in quarantine room until their
condition is determined.
MOE
All removed parts waiting for maintenance are identified with unserviceable tag and placed in
unserviceable store to provide segregation from serviceable ones and to be protected as
necessary.
Similar consumables that come in at different dates are tagged and stored separately and
have separate tags showing receiving dates on it.
Some chemicals are hazardous for the health of the user. For that reason, they should be
handled in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer’s Material Safety
Data Sheets.
When an equipment is withrawn from the stockroom the stock is properly updated.
No part/component can be put into stores and/or seperately delivered to a customer without a
valid certificate.
Refer to TPM-DPO 2.3A “Storage and Release of A/C Materials” procedure for more details.
Refer also to MOE 2.02.04 “Tagging and Storage Procedure After Acceptance / Inspection”.
Any component, part or material released from store for use in aircraft shall be in serviceable
condition. Information on Remarks column of ARC is made available on
Serviceable/Unserviceable Component Tag in order to let the certifying staff know vital
airworthiness related information which may need appropriate and necessary actions.
When parts, components or materials are delivered from the store for maintenance purposes,
Release From Stock Report is issued and stock is updated accordingly.
When a serviceable part is installed on aircraft, the technician replacing the component, on
completion of the installation, fills in:
The serviceable section for the component installed (aircraft registration, position,
date)
The unserviceable section with all pertinent data from the removed component.
The removal/installation data is recorded on the MIS.
Refer to TPM-DPO 2.3A “Storage and Release of A/C Materials” procedure for detailed
methods on Issuance and Returning of Aircraft Materials.
MOE
Shelf life limited material defined according to manufacturer recommendation, and shelf life
limits are written on serviceable tag after incoming inspection by the authorised personnel.
Shelf life control, proper issuance and rotation of stored parts are also responsibility of the
store personnel. In order to prevent shelf life expiration, the material that has a shelf life shall
have a special label that shows the expiry date on it. Store personnel checks the shelf lives
every month during inventory check.
Supply Manager requests at all times the MSDS for the hazardous material from the supplier.
The MSDS is kept in a close and continuous reach of the personnel.
For materials with shelf life, during receiving inspection, a Shelf-Life Sticker indicating the
expiration date of material is attached to each container.
Store Personnel generates a monthly list of shelf lifed materials within 30 days to expiry for
review.
Unsalvageable component is not allowed to re-enter the aviation supply system unless a
solution has been approved in accordance with Part-21. Unsalvageable parts are returned to
the customer. For this purpose, scrap parts are processed iaw MOE 2.24.09, Scrapping of
Parts Procedure.
MOE
This procedure describes the acceptance of new, maintained, modified, and calibrated
tools/equipment received including loaned tools. This procedure also describes the appraisal
of suppliers taking role in these processes.
All tools and equipment required by the applicable maintenance data are permanently
available in sufficient quantities except for the following:
2.4.2 Acceptance
The company purchases, loans and accepts tools and equipment which are incuding the loan
returns to ensure that they comply with the required specifications as follows:
During Incoming Inspection for tools and equipment, the followings are applied by the tool
shop:
Visually inspected,
Calibration requirements checked,
Having acceptance documents defined in MOE 2.04.02,
Checked for compliance with purchase order,
User/Instruction Manuals are referenced in Wings System,
Maintenance Inspection Program of item is entered in the Wings System,
OT-180 Serviceable Tool Tag is issued with a unique tag number,
Transfers to tool/equipment dedicated shelf/storage area,
Fills in a Form OT-006 Tool Acceptance and Registration Form to construct a record
of this acceptance process.
A tool/equipment then, is identified with its [Tool Number] + [Tag Number] written on OT-180
tag. If calibration is required for a tool/equipment, ID number has a “TC” prefix. If calibration
is not required, ID has a “TO” prefix.
A tool/equipment when scrapped, lost or sold is subtracted from inventory. In these cases ID
number of such tool is not assigned to another one.
When calibration required tool/equipment is received, the following documents are also
required:
Calibration Certificate
Calibration Label of calibration agency
An OT-137 label, that indicates the next calibration date, is attached on the tool by Incoming
Inspector beside the Calibration Date Label attached by the Calibration Laboratory. Refer to
procedure MOE 2.05 Calibration of Tools and Equipment for details of the calibration process
and documentation.
MOE
This section describes the procedures related to the controls, revisions, modifications,
checking and calibrations of the tools/equipment, so called Time Controlled Tools and
Equipment (TCTE).
1. Class 1 items.
2. Class 2 items.
Those with relatively less effect on airworthiness and relatively more effect on health
and safety such as self-powered industrial vehicles (SPIV) (cherry pickers, elevating
scissors, forklifts, ride-on scrubber/dryers, etc.), wheeled equipment (washing cart,
compressor cart, etc.), axle jacks, access platforms, slings and others. These are
subject to a maintenance-inspection program.
Refer to MOE 2L.02 for management of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) in line
maintenance.
Responsibility of keeping inventory of all GSEs belongs to Facility Maintenance Manager.
It is the company policy to ensure that ‘Expired’ TCTEs are withdrawn from service prior to
due date and re-lifed prior to further use.
This section covers Class 1 items. Maintenance instructions of Class 2 items in base and
workshop maintenance are prepared iaw TT-BKM 2.6A, Equipment Instructions.
Inspection, Servicing and Calibration Program is managed by Tool Store. Responsible person
for the tool store is Tool Store Chief who reports to Base Maintenance Manager.
Calibration is outsourced to accredited shops and calibration records are kept in the tool
store.
These items may also need maintenance-inspection as well as calibration. Form OT-259
“Maintenance Follow Up” is used to trace and register such processes.
These items are registered in the company MIS (Wings System-Tools Module).
A Tool Calibration Expiry Report is produced and issued on a periodic (monthly) basis in the
tool store. This report lists all items due for calibration within a specified period. It may also
include overdue items.
Register is regularly printed from the company MIS (Wings System-Tools Module) and this
printout is kept in the tool store in order to ensure business continuity until the system
becomes available in case of prolonged or unscheduled failure of MIS (Wings System-Tools
Module).
Form OT-008 “Calibration Control Card” is used to control calibration history of such items.
These forms are maintained in the tool store for such items. These forms, can be printed out
from the company MIS (Wings System-Tools Module).
Every last week of the month, tool store staff determines the tools expiring in next month and
reports this to Base Maintenance Manager who is responsible to follow up the calibration of
subject tools.
This interval is normally recommended by the manufacturer and is usually 1 year. When there
is no data by the manufacturer, the interval may be determined by officially recognized
standards and Quality Manager’s judgment.
This is performed by an authorized incoming inspector in the tool store with training on
measurement and calibraion.
Tool or equipment sent out for calibration must be returned with a calibration certificate and in
addition to the provisions mentioned in MOE 2.04, items received with calibrations shall be
traceable by its certificate. A calibration certificate is the sole evidence that tool or equipment
meets metrologic characteristics required for its use in the maintenance operations.
Certificate should be interpreted for these attributes.
2.5.5 Identification & Due Dates for TCTEs & Servicing / Calibration
Each calibrated item has a prefix and a unique identifier as “TC” and a number in the format
of “99999”.
Example: TC00280, TORQUE WRENCH.
Calibration due is traced via the company MIS (Wings System-Tools Module).
An identifier is attached to the item as Form OT-137 “Next Calibration Label”. The expiry date
recorded in the system is expressed in (dd/mm/yyyy), normally a year later the date of
calibration as recorded in the calibration reports and the company MIS (Wings System-Tools
Module), while the date on the labels indicate (mm/yyyy). Users must be cautious on what
due label indicates. When being in the indicated month (mm) and when become in doubt,
user technician must refer to the tool store records.
No item is loaned or used if controls, revisions, modifications, checks and calibrations due.
Items becoming overdue are immediately returned to the originator.
MOE
This procedure describes the management of tools and return after use.
The tools and equipment are issued from the tool store to a specific work order with the
registration number of the user through Wings System where the records are retained. Tool
store also records the date and A/C tool will be used on.
Once the tool or equipment is issued from the tool store, the user performs an initial
inspection as follows before he uses it;
2.6.3 Training and Control of Personnel in the Use of Tools and Equipment
Personnel are trained in case a specific tools/equipment must be used. This training may be
received from external sources in a specific equipment case (like borescope), as well as
internally training the technical personnel in simpler tools. Maintenance Manager is
responsible for providing the trainings to the personnel when considered necessary in
justification with technical data.
Aircraft Technician tool box containing small tools of regular use, are issued to each
technician as detailed below.
Tool Store is responsible for kitting, issue and control of tool boxes.
When tool box content is augmented with additional ad-hoc items, it is delivered to
the tool box by the tool store by listing in the Form OT-256 “Technician Tool Box
Additional Content List”.
Each tool box is marked with a unique tool box number for control and accountability.
Tool box number is marked on all tools as well.
Each tool box has a contents list duly signed by the Technician using Form OT-150
“Technician Tool Box Counter Ticket Form”. Master copy of the list is retained in Tool
Store.
A list containing details of each tool box content is maintained in Tool Store.
MOE
Technicians are issued with a tool box on joining the company. There may be a
toolbox replacement for several reasons and the process is the same with issuing a
new tool box in such cases.
No tool box is handed over to another technician than the owner.
The individual Technicians are responsible for correct use, accounting, maintaining
tool box ID mark and upkeep of tools held in tool box.
Each staff holding tool box must check his own tool box discipline once a month.
Quality auditors are to check of tool box contents on a regular basis in every audit
opportunity.
In case of loss (a lost tool is considered lost within aircraft/aircraft component and constitutes
safety issue):
The Technician fills Form OT-294 “Missing Tool Form” and informs Supervisor or
Boardman.
Supervisor or Boardman is to carry out immediate investigation and inspection on
related working areas prior to aircraft release.
If needed, Supervisor or Boardman forms a team of personnel to eventually find the
lost tool.
Due to below listed circumstances, the tools that are not in the inventory can be loaned.
The staff to use this special tool, in this last situation, will be supplied along with the tool as
well.
Loaned tools are assigned a tool number with prefix “TL” written in OT-180 Serviceable Tool
Tag.
If a defect is detected during use of tools by staff, it is reported to the Tool Store by filling
Nonconformity Declaration Form OT-279 while the tool is returned to Tool Store for review
and processing by tool store staff. This information is entered on the Wings System
immediately when the tool is received back from the user. Whenever this tool is intended to
be released to another user, an OT-278 “Release From Tool Store” fiche exposes the defect
to this user as recorded in Wings.
If a calibration controlled tool is confirmed as defective or found out of limits per calibration
report, following procedure is applied;
- Tool store staff withdraws subject tool from service, prepares an unserviceable label
and puts to quarantine area and tags the tool with Form OT-246 Quarantine Tag.
Then staff prepares a list that indicates the dates, registration of the a/c and work
order number that this tool used on since last calibration date in order identifies usage
records.
- Usage records are investigated by a task force contributed also by PPC and Planning
for assessment of affected tasks.
MOE
Use of alternate tools may become inevitable when aircraft manufacturer/OEM recommended
tool or equipment is unavailable and the Company remains unable to supply in required
timeframe. The use of alternate tools has been established by major aircraft manufacturers
(Airbus, Boeing, etc), and the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Major aircraft manufacturers (Airbus, Boeing, etc.) allow the use of alternate tools and
equipment throughout AMM procedures (Airbus AMMs Front Matter/Introduction, Boeing
introduction to AMM Part II (Practices and Procedures) and the Tools/Equipment sections).
OEMs such as airplane component suppliers allow the use of alternate tools and equipment
in the Testing and Fault Isolation and Special Tools, Fixtures, and Equipment sections of their
CMM.
An alternate tool is subject to an equivalency assessment process before its use. Refer to
TPM-MUH 2.6 Tool Equivalency Assessment procedure for details of the process.
For NDT tools, in case of a definition stated about alternate / comparable tooling usage in
reference documents, equivalence assessment is processed iaw NDT Manual TPM-BKM
3.11.1.
MOE
2.7.1 General

are covered by this procedure.
2.7.3 Responsibilities
The responsibilities of cleanliness of hangar, mezzanine offices, and ground flat offices,
corridors, lavatories, stores and aircraft maintenance areas belong to Facility Manager.
Shop supervisors are responsible for the cleanliness of component maintenance workshops.
2.7.4 Procedure
Hangar has door and epoxy based floor coating in order to minimize the adverse effect of
accumulated dust and other pollutive materials on maintenance of aircraft and components
and personnel.
Hangar surface is cleaned by using the battery powered equipment at least twice a week
according to Cleaning Plan (Ground Flat & Hangar).
All wastes produced within the maintenance organization must be handled according to safe
and best practice principles with regard to responsible environmental practice.
Workshop personnel keep clean workshop and working areas each working day.
Cleaning personnel sweeps and mat the workshop floor according to Cleaning Plan (Ground
Flat & Hangar).
And additionally Store floor is swept and matting made by cleaners according Cleaning Plan
(Ground Flat & Hangar).
Air conditioners are kept effective and running to prevent dust accumulation.
MOE
Tool room floor, racks, and tools are cleaned by store personnel properly.
Additionally Store floor is swept and matting made by cleaners according to Cleaning Plan
(Ground Flat & Hangar).
Toilettes, stairs, and corridors on ground flat and mezzanine are swept and matting performed
according to Cleaning Plan (Ground Flat & Hangar).
st
Cleaning of Toilettes, stairs, and corridors on 1 flat is made according to Cleaning Plan.
MOE
This section explains the management procedure of the technical documentation for
continuing airworthiness of the aircraft and components as per Part 145.A.45(a), (b), (c), (d),
(e), (f), (g) and AMC 145.A.(b) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, (c) 1, 2, (d), (f) 1, (g) 1, 2, 3.
Documentation Department ensures that all necessary maintenance data (AMM, IPC, WDM,
ASM, SRM, CMM, NDT manuals, etc.) is provided from either the manufacturer or the
customer, and only applicable and current maintenance data is kept in the system and made
available for the use of the maintenance organisation during any maintenance work, including
modifications and repairs.
In case of maintenance for a customer or an operator, in addition to the maintenance data, the
appropriate sections of the operator’s maintenance schedule, associated SBs, SILs,
supplementary structural and corrosion inspection documents, CDCCL and EWIS items, any
other TC or STC specific document, as necessary as per the scope of the work shall be taken
from the customer and held in the system. Acquisition and incorporation of such documents is
managed by the PPC Manager.
In either case, any maintenance data necessary for the accomplishment of the work on an
aircraft, is made reachable by IT Department in the close proximity of the aircraft and number
of terminals shall be enough as compared to the size of the work.
These data is revised every time when the manufacturer or customer issues a revision. For
this purpose Documentation Department performs periodic check of these data with the
manufacturer (or any source for the data) publication records.
It is unrealistic that work-cards are revised in real time, making these data available when the
work is in progress. Because of this, the company defines a timing for the updating of work-
cards vs. revision of maintenance data like AMM or CMM. Also, in fact, the maintenance
instructions issued by manufacturers as defined in 145.A.45(d) are not mandatory approved
data and the routine revisions of AMM /CMM are not the means to communicate real safety
issues. As a consequence it is permissible to revise work-cards in not less than three months,
by the date of the revision (not by the receiving date into the Company). Refer to MOE 2.10
for the provisions on complying with the maintenance program of the customer/operator.
During the same maintenance input, the set of work-cards used remains at the same revision
status, to avoid any inconsistency.
Documentation Department makes these data available when the work is in progress and
Planning (or Shop Management in case of component maintenance) keeps the maintenance
records as well as associated maintenance data iaw MOE 2.14.
Engineering provides service information publication (AD, SB, AOT, SIL, OIT, etc.) from the

MOE
2.14.1 General
The Company records all details of aircraft and component maintenance work carried out
during maintenance operations and provides a copy of each certificate of release to service to
the operators/owners, together with a copy of any specific repair/modification data used for
repairs/modifications carried out.
Properly executed and retained records provide customers and maintenance personnel with
information essential in controlling unscheduled and scheduled maintenance, and trouble
shooting to eliminate the need for re-inspection and rework to establish airworthiness of
articles maintained.
The primary objective of this procedure is to have secure and easily retrievable records with
comprehensive and legible contents. The records may include associated maintenance data
which includes specific information of maintenance (e.g. repair and modification data, etc).
This does not necessarily require the retention of all Aircraft Maintenance Manual,
Component Maintenance Manual, IPC etc. issued by the TC holder or STC holder.
Maintenance records should refer to the revision status of the data used.
The Company retains records necessary to prove that all requirements have been met for
issuance of the certificate of release to service, including, if any, contractor’s/subcontractor’s
release documents. These records are stored in a manner that ensures protection from
damage (caused by flood, fire, etc.), alteration and theft. Archieves are equipped with
sprinklers and hand fire extinguishers in order to quickly react in case of fire.
Paper is used to control maintenance and/or record details of maintenance work carried out.
Paper records should use robust material which can withstand normal handling and filing
during maintenance operations and retention (i.e. in archieve or office files) so that the record
will remain legible throughout the required periods of retention.
Files containing the records and cabinets are clearly identified to display their contents.
Achieves used for record retention are safe and locked with limited authorized personnel
access. The keys of this archive are kept in the Planning Manager and archive personnel. All
cabinets and shelves in archieve are closed at the end of working time, and, considering their
limited anti-thieves capability, locking system of the main entrance is kept closed to ensure
high security standard. Shop maintenance records are also kept in archieve with same
recordkeeping standards .
Digital medium is used to control maintenance and/or record details of maintenance work
carried out. Each terminal accessing or modifying these records is required to contain
program safeguards against the ability of unauthorised personnel to alter the data. MIS file
sharing used for records retention are read only network places that safe and locked with
limited authorized personnel access.
MOE
MIS has backup system which is updated at least within 24 hours of any maintenance
copying to a series of cartridges. Digital medium (Computer backup discs, tapes etc.) is used
for backup. The backups are stored in a different location from that containing the working
discs, tapes etc., in an environment that ensures they remain in good condition. The access
for digital archive backups are limited to IT personnel.
The Company keeps a copy of all detailed maintenance records and any associated
maintenance data for minimum of three years from the date the aircraft or component to
which the work relates was released to service.
All retained maintenance records will be distributed to the last owner or customer of the
respective operation or will be stored as specified by EASA.
Reconstruction of lost or destroyed records can be done by reference to other records which
reflect the time in service, research of records maintained by repair facilities and reference to
records maintained by individual mechanics (technician log books or OJT records) etc. When
these things have been done and the record is still incomplete, the owner/operator may make
a statement in the new record describing the loss and establishing the time in service based
on the research and the best estimate of time in service. The reconstructed records is
submitted to the competent authority for acceptance. In this situation an additional
maintenance may be required when complete set of proofs not achieved.
MOE
All kinds of defect (system failure or structural damage) detected/encountered during base
maintenance or reported in aircraft technical log are recorded on Non-Routine Work Order
(NRWO) Form OT-012. One NRWO should be raised for each single defect. Making a NRWO
record includes making an entry to “List of Non-Routine Items” Form OT-111. As soon as a
NRWO is closed, its closure is reflected to “List of Non-Routine Items” Form OT-111 by SS
responsible for the job.
Each NRWO shall properly be filled in iaw OHY TT-BKM 2.13B including;
identification of defect,
action taken for rectification or defer information with approved document references,
date of defect found,
date of action taken,
tools and parts used when applicable.
Rectifications shall be within the capability/scope of the company approval, performed and
signed-off by authorized staff.
All issued NRWOs are brought to the attention of the customer for the specific purpose of
obtaining agreement to rectify such defects or completing the missing elements of the
maintenance work order. For the defects out of scope of base maintenance agreement,
customer approval must be obtained prior to rectification. In the case where the aircraft
operator declines to have such maintenance carried out under this procedure, an incomplete
maintenance release procedure is applied as described in MOE 2.16.
Any defect with lack of material, tool, equipment, time, man-power, etc. to rectify, which does
not affect the airworthiness, is deferred only under documented customer approval.
Notification shall be given to customer, manufacturer and authority for occurrences iaw MOE
2.18.
MOE
A CRS is issued in order to release to service an article after maintenance on behalf of the
Company:
a. Significant cracking,
b. Deformation,
c. Corrosion or failure of primary structure,
d. Burning evidence,
e. Electrical arcing,
f. Significant hydraulic fluid or fuel leakage,
g. Any emergency system or total system failure, etc.
An airworthiness directive overdue for compliance is also considered a hazard to flight safety.
IMPORTANT:
The use of EASA Part 145 CRS statement is not allowed for non-EU registered
and/or operated aircraft.
A CRS issued before flight at the completion of any maintenance contains the following:
“Certifies that the work specified, except as otherwise specified, was carried out in
accordance with EASA Part-145 and in respect to that work the aircraft/aircraft
component is considered ready for release to service”,
7. The aircraft type, aircraft registration and serial number, the S/N of installed engines
and APU (when applicable),
8. The name and signature of the person who has certified the release.
Note: A stamp may replace the signatories full name when placeholder for this
identifier does not offer adequate space.
A CRS after aircraft base maintenance is issued by base maintenance CS issuing a CRS
Form OT-082E. It is the responsibility of the C category CS to sign the CRS Form (and
customer/operator Aircraft Technical Log when requested) after base maintenance.
Before issuing the CRS Form, the CS applies the following checklist over the whole
maintenance process:
1. CS ensures that SS have confirmed that all tasks (including but not limited to
inspections, servicing, modifications, repairs, airworthiness directives etc. as ordered
in the WO) have been carried out to the required standards (attested, signed and
dated),
2. B1 and B2 support staff ensures that all relevant tasks or inspections have been
carried out to the required standard before the category C certifying staff issues the
certificate of release to service,
3. CS ensures that all NRWO forms are properly closed,
4. CS ensures that all maintenance personnel worked are competent
5. CS ensures that all additional work under the same work order required by the
customer has been accomplished during the particular base maintenance or as per
work package,
6. CS ensures no un-approved modification has been incorporated,
7. CS ensures no un-approved repair has been incorporated,
8. CS assesses the impact of any work not carried out, defers such work agreeing with
the customer and documents it with the deferral limitations indicated in the Deferred
Item List as an attachment to the CRS Form,
9. CS ensures that all component change records are complete, appropriate material
tag and ARC exists,
10. CS ensures contractors/sub-contractors were certified to perform the work,
11. The latest approved issues of the documentation have been used,
12. The tools were acceptable and calibrated,
13. The parts / components / equipment were acceptable (airworthiness tags available)
14. Any due AD found non-embodied on the aircraft has been duly reported to the
Operator/Authority,
15. Any defect discovered during maintenance has been repaired or is properly deferred
and accepted by customer,
16. All instructions and methods used were approved,
17. All test results are normal (if required).
A CRS Form for aircraft base maintenance contains the CRS statement as defined in MOE
2.16.02.
IMPORTANT:
An EASA Part 145 Release to Service for non EU registered aircraft or for
aircraft operated by non EU operator will be validated by the competent
authority of the State of Registry or the State of the operator as appropriate.
MOE
The release to service certificate is valid only when accepted so. In this case
the CRS statement changes to:
“Certifies that the work specified except as otherwise specified was carried out in
accordance with Part-145 under the full recognition and oversight responsibility of the
[national aviation authority] as competent authority of [the State of Registery] and
in respect to that work the aircraft is considered ready for release to service.”
A CRS after aircraft line maintenance is issued by line maintenance CS on the applicable
document (like logbook, work order, engineering order, task card, etc.) requested by the
customer.
Before issuing the CRS, the CS applies the following checklist over the whole maintenance
process:
1. CS confirms that all tasks (including but not limited to inspections, servicing,
modifications, repairs, airworthiness directives etc. as ordered in the WO) have been
carried out to the required standards (attested, signed and dated),
2. CS ensures that all maintenance personnel worked are competent,
3. CS ensures no un-approved modification has been incorporated,
4. CS ensures no un-approved repair has been incorporated,
5. CS assesses the impact of any work not carried out, defers such work agreeing with
the customer and documents it with the deferral limitations as agreed by the operator,
6. CS ensures that all component change records are complete, appropriate material
tag and ARC exists,
7. CS ensures contractors/sub-contractors were certified to perform the work,
8. The latest approved issues of the documentation have been used,
9. The tools were acceptable and calibrated,
10. The parts / components / equipment were acceptable (airworthiness tags available)
11. Any due AD found non-embodied on the aircraft has been duly reported to the
Operator/Authority,
12. Any defect discovered during maintenance has been repaired or is properly deferred
and accepted by customer,
13. All instructions and methods used were approved,
14. All test results are normal (if required).
A CRS for aircraft line maintenance contains the CRS statement as defined in MOE 2.16.02.
CS stamps the applicable document with OT-082ES CRS stamp and signs to complete the
CRS process.
IMPORTANT:
An EASA Part 145 Release to Service for non EU registered aircraft or for
aircraft operated by non EU operator will be validated by the competent
authority of the State of Registry or the State of the operator as appropriate.
The release to service certificate is valid only when accepted so. In this case
the CRS statement changes to:
“Certifies that the work specified except as otherwise specified was carried out in
accordance with Part-145 under the full recognition and oversight responsibility of the
[national aviation authority] as competent authority of [the State of Registery] and
in respect to that work the aircraft is considered ready for release to service.”
MOE
A CRS is issued at the completion of any maintenance on a component whilst off the aircraft.
1. The work done is within the capability list of the workshop, if some work has been
subcontracted, the subcontractor has to be approved for this work.
2. Work was done in conformity with the applicable regulations and the intent of work
order:
a. All maintenance tasks are attested, signed and dated by authorized staff,
b. All parts and materials used were certified,

The ARC “EASA Form 1” referred to in MOE 5.01 constitutes the component CRS in this
case.
The ARC can only be issued while the article is within the Company Scope of Work described
in MOE 1.09.
Not allowed for customer delivery. The ARC “EASA Form 1” is used as above.
(c) Issuance of EASA Form 1 for Components Removed Serviceable from Aircraft
CASE 1: Serviceable aircraft components removed from EU Member State registered aircraft
may be issued an EASA Form 1 subject to compliance with the following conditions:
1. The component should be removed from the aircraft by appropriately qualified staff,
MOE
2. The component may only be deemed serviceable if the last flight operation with
component fitted revealed no faults on that component or its related system,
3. The component should be inspected for satisfactory condition including in particular
damage, corrosion or leakage and compliance with any additional manufacturer's
maintenance instructions,
4. The aircraft records should be researched for any unusual events that could affect the
serviceability of the component such as involvement in accidents, incidents, heavy
landings, or lightning strikes. Under no circumstance may an EASA Form 1 be issued
if it is suspected that the aircraft component has been subjected to extremes of
stress, temperatures or immersion which could affect its operation,
5. A maintenance history record should be available for all used serialized components,
6. Compliance with known ADs, modifications and repairs should be established,
7. The flight hours/cycles as applicable of any life limited parts including time since
overhaul should be established,
8. 'Component Removal in Serviceable Condition’ Form OT-303 is properly filled and
signed.
CASE 2: Serviceable aircraft components removed from non EU Member State registered
aircraft may only be issued an EASA Form 1 subject to compliance with the following
conditions:
The same provisions apply when a component is swapped between two aircraft registered in
a non EU Member State. In this case a Serviceable Tag is allowed and sufficient for
certification provided both aircraft is being maintained by the Company.
CASE 2.1: For the components removed from OHY Airlines, which the airworthiness status
of the AC and the components retained by The Company as a shared enginering
responsibility, below 3 items are sufficiently required:
1. The component should be removed from the aircraft by appropriately qualified staff
2. The component may only be deemed serviceable if the last flight operation with
component fitted revealed no faults on that component or its related system,
3. The component should be inspected for satisfactory condition including in particular
damage, corrosion or leakage and compliance with any additional manufacturer's
maintenance instructions.
An EASA Form 1 is not required for the component changes between two EU registered
aircraft or between different positions of the same EU registered aircraft for components fitted
to those airplanes, Serviceable Tag is allowed for certification, provided both aircraft is being
maintained by the Company. A Serviceable Tag is filled by an appropriately authorized CS for
such components as follows:
When the Company performs an NDT inspection on an aircraft, aircraft component or part
under the Company D1 Rating, the release to service is performed and certified using an
ARC form issued by authorized CS.
When the Company performs an NDT inspection in the course of a maintenance carried out
by the Company under the customer’s WO which schedules such NDT inspection as a task
within its scope, a sign-off to the proper documentation together with an inspection report is
sufficiently accepted.
When an aircraft grounded at the location other than main base due to the non-availability of
a component with the appropriate release certificate, it is permissible to temporarily fit a
component having a suitable release certificate under below restrictions:
MOE
1. For a maximum 30 flight hours or until the aircraft return to main base, whichever is
the sooner,
2. Subject to the customer/operator agreement,
3. Suitable release certificate must contain the following as minimum:
a. Clearly states the aircraft component is serviceable
b. Clearly specifies the organisation releasing the component
c. Clearly specifies the details of the competent authority of the releasing organisation
4. Appropriate entry in the aircraft technical log book, checking the condition of aircraft
component plus information on where, when and why the aircraft was grounded.
Such components will be removed by the above prescribed time limits unless an appropriate
release to service has been obtained in the meantime. In such a case the Company makes
an entry in the customer/operator Aircraft Technical Log, checking for compliance with type
design standards, modifications, repairs, airworthiness directives, life limitations and condition
of the aircraft component plus information on where, when and why the aircraft was
grounded.
This paragraph does not apply to an AOG situation at the Customer’s Main Base.
1. The situation is communicated with the flight crew of the aircraft with full details of the
defect.
2. If necessary, the Company QA Manager is requested to issue a one-off authorisation.
3. QA Manager assesses each situation after issuance of a one-off authorization and
asks for performance of maintenance and additional actions if deemed necessary.
4. QA Manager issues the one-off authorization iaw MOE 3.04.
5. QA Manager verifies that:
a. Full technical details relating to the work required to be carried out have been
established and passed on to the certifying staff authorized within the scope
of the case.
b. The person to whom a one-off authorisation is issued has been provided with
all the necessary information and guidance relating to maintenance data and
any special technical instructions associated with the specific task
undertaken. A detailed step by step worksheet has been defined by the
organisation, communicated to the one-off authorisation holder.
c. The one-off authorisation holder certifying personnel sign off the detailed step
by step worksheet when completing the work steps.
d. In all cases, due consideration is given to the complexity of the work involved
and the availability of required tooling and/or test equipment needed to
complete the work.
e. The Company manages, coordinates and controls the total maintenance
activity performed iaw MOE 2.24.01.
6. The completed tasks verified by visual examination and/or normal system operation
upon return to an appropriately approved Part-145 maintenance facility.
7. If any condition which could affect flight safety is identified, maintenance is repeated
in main base.
MOE
Every maintenance task or group of tasks signed-off in order to prevent omissions. A “sign-
off” is a statement by the authorized competent person performing or supervising the work,
that the task or group of tasks has been correctly performed. A sign-off relates to one step in
the maintenance process and is therefore different to the release to service of maintenance.
“Authorised competent person” means a person formally authorised iaw either of MOE 3.04,
3.07, 3.08, 3.11, and formally assessed iawMOE 3.14 by the maintenance organisation
approved under Part-145 to sign-off tasks. “Authorised competent person” is not necessarily a
“certifying staff” or “support staff”.
To ensure the task or group of tasks is completed; it should be signed-off after completion.
Sign-off is performed only by whom the task is performed. As an exception to this, Work by
supervised personnel (i.e. temporary staff, trainee...)is checked by authorised supervisor
personnel before sign-off.
The grouping of tasks is permitted for sign-off except for the purpose of signing-off should
allow critical steps to be clearly identified iaw MOE 2.23. A grouping of tasks when sign-off
may only be permitted when a group is performed by the same person in the same visit and
same shift on the same day.
For the purpose of sign off, the company qualifies stamps dedicated to each staff with
personnel identifiers on. Both sign off and stapming are acceptable means when completing
the task. Same provision can be used for completion of non-routine work orders, engineering
orders and other documents that record specific works in a maintenance. Reports, such as
NDT reports, borescope reports, etc can also be stamped instead of signing off.
Tally sheet in any case is stamped by the inspecting support staff in order base maintenance
CS to become ensured that the tasks falling in particular support staff responsibility are
properly performed.
When a test flight is required, a CRS is issued with the wording in remarks:
“This Certificate of Release to Service is issued that the aircraft is ready for a test flight".
When no defect, snag or discrepancy is reported by the flight crew, normal CRS rules
apply and a final CRS is issued.
When a defect, a snag or a discrepancy is reported, it is processed iaw MOE 2.15.
Test flight report and such defect rectification is a part of release documentation of an aircraft
when this procedure applies.
Please also see MOE 3.09 for Aircraft or Aircraft Component Maintenance Tasks Exemption
Process Control.
New defects identified during base maintenance are processed iaw MOE 2.15.
Incomplete maintenance work orders identified during maintenance is brought to the attention
of the customer for the specific purpose of obtaining agreement to complete the missing
elements of the maintenance work order. In the case where the customer/operator declines to
have such maintenance carried out under this paragraph, incomplete maintenance may be
released iaw this procedure.
When the Company is unable to complete all maintenance ordered, it may issue a CRS within
the approved aircraft limitations. The Company enters such fact in the aircraft CRS before
issue.
If the customer/operator agrees to the deferment of full compliance with the work order scope,
then the CRS may be issued subject to details of the deferment, including the
customer/operator’s authority, being endorsed on the certificate.
These cases, CS requires that a signed proof of customer approval is obtained before the
maintenance CRS is issued.
Whether or not the aircraft operator has the authority to defer maintenance is an issue
between the customer/operator and its competent authority of the State of Registry or State of
operator, as appropriate. In case of doubt concerning such a decision of the operator, the
Company informs EASA on such doubt, before issuing the CRS. This will allow EASA to
investigate the matter with the competent authority of the State of Registry or the State of the
operator as appropriate.
(c) Non-compliance
If there is a contract with the customer/operator, the Company provides the customer/operator
with all records of services provided upon completion of a work order as agreed in the
contract, when applicable. When there is a requirement in the contract, the Company may
also provide service for record keeping on behalf of customer/operator.
For the primary customer (OHY), the Company keeps all base maintenance records as dirty
fingerprints in the shared archieve facilities. When an aircraft is redelivered to another
operator/owner with full operational responsibility (ACMI wetleases excluded), full record set
of the aircraft falling into last three years of period is duplicated via copying or scanning.
These duplicates are managed iaw MOE 2.14.
MOE
The Company or a non-certificated subcontractor under its QA system reports any defect
condition of the aircraft or component (occurence) that has resulted or may result in an unsafe
condition that hazards seriously the flight safety.
The Company has established a system called Occurence Reporting System (ORS) and this
procedure in order to manage this reportings.
The occurrence reporting system is an essential part of the overall monitoring function. The
purpose of this procedure is to provide methods to determine which occurrences should be
reported to the EASA, Competent Authorities, Operators, Manufacturers, Design
organisations, TC/STC holders, in short, Reported Bodies (RB), and it provides instructions
on the timescale for submission of such reports. This procedure also describes the objective
of the overall ORS including internal and external functions.
The objective of the ORS is to use the reported information to contribute to the improvement
of aviation safety, and as a consequence of safety policy, not to attribute blame, impose fines
or take other enforcement actions.
The ORS is complementary to the normal day to day procedures and 'control' systems and is
not intended to duplicate or supersede any of them. The ORS is a tool to identify those
occasions where routine procedures have failed.
Occurrences should remain in the database when judged reportable by the person submitting
the report as the significance of such reports may only become obvious at a later date.
2.18.2 Process
Each reporting is filed under the Company Technical Records Control System described in
MOE 2.14.
MOE
The reports of the occurences discovered during maintenance to the RB are mainly sent via
email and required attachements and coordinated as follows:
All issued defects are brought to the attention of the customer/operator for the specific
purpose of obtaining agreement on the status of the occurrence/defect. MOE 2.15 and MOE
2.16.10 is considered in setting communication with the customer/operator. Report must
contain pertinent and evaluation results produced during initial internal evaluations.
Supporting documents as photographs, specs, references to airworthiness specifications, etc.
are also appended to the file when reporting.
In order to prevent recurrance, any one or a combination of the followings listed (as non-
exhaustive) may be applied:
The Company maintains a customised list adapted to its operation and the list is managed in
a file by the QA Manager. In establishing that customised list, the Company takes into
account the following considerations:
Reportable occurrences are those where the safety of operation was or could have been
endangered or which could have led to an unsafe condition. If in the view of the reporter an
occurrence did not hazard the safety of the operation but if repeated in different but likely
circumstances would create a hazard, then a report should be made. What is judged to be
reportable on one class of product, part or appliance may not be so on another and the
absence or presence of a single factor, human or technical, can transform an occurrence into
a serious incident or accident.
The following is a generic list. The list of examples of reportable occurrences offered below is
established from the perspective of primary sources of occurrence information in the
maintenance operations to provide guidance for the personnel in deciding what to report. This
list is neither definitive nor exhaustive and judgement by the reporter of the degree of hazard
or potential hazard involved is essential.
procedures did not clearly identify the problem when this results in a hazardous
situation.
MOE
A defective component is a component removed from the aircraft for any reason. Return of
defective aircraft components to store is managed as follows.
Each component removed unserviceable from the aircraft during maintenance is identified
using an Unserviceable Tag, Form OT-038.
An Unserviceable Tag is filled, stamped and attached on the component after removal from
the aircraft by authorized technician if it has a reported defect or malfunction on any of the
logs or maintenance records. The component is delivered to store.
In any case described in 2.19.01, filling in the information as “removed from”, “position”, “date
of removal”, “reason for removal”, etc. are must as instructed by the tag narrative or by this
MOE procedure in minimum.
Each time a component is removed from the aircraft in base maintenance, a component
removal entry is made to component change records.
Authorized technician removes the defective component, Store personnel receive the
component.
A defective component is a component removed from the aircraft for any reason. Return of
defective aircraft components to Outside Contractors is managed as follows.
Components identified as unserviceable and identified this status with an Unserviceable Tag
(e.g., components returned to store iaw MOE 2.19 as unserviceable), are considered subject
to repair. Unserviceable Tag attached to the component identifies required work for the
component.
Technical Supply Manager is responsible to send the defective parts to outside contractors for
repair/overhaul/calibration or exchange when the customer orders so. To select the proper
source of maintenance, MOE 2.01 procedure is employed. Technical Supply Manager takes
into account past experiences/records, capability lists, TAT, repair quality and pricing policy.
After selecting the repair facility, all shipment documents and Repair Order (Form OT-129) is
issued by Technical Supply Manager.
If the repair capability exists in-house iaw MOE 1.09 Scope of Work, the Store may issue a
customer work order (CWO) in the Company MIS (Wings).
Store is responsible for the packing of the component that provides protection from damage
and external contamination (when specified by OEM, ATA-300 spec container used) to be
sent to repair properly. Articles requiring special transportation limitations (e.g., wheels,
oxygen bottles, etc.) are handled in accordance with DGR requirements.
Technical Supply Manager is responsible for clearly defining all tasks to be performed on the
component, organizing and tracing the shipment of the unit back&forth the repair station and
monitoring the repair process.
MOE
All kinds of computer records are kept in the computer network. Each user has a personal
password for access in the computer network.
Department managers determine the usage rights of the staff, request the usage rights per e-
mail from IT department and can grant approval for some of their files to be read by other
departments if necessary.
Backups of the maintenance records kept in the computer environment are taken with 24-
hour periods. Backups of one week that are are kept in a place safe from flooding, burglary
and fire and different place from a network main server.
The Company performs continuous analysis to prove that the manpower resources described
in MOE 1.07 is sufficient when performing maintenance via a maintenance man-hour plan
showing that the Company has sufficient staff to plan, perform, supervise, inspect and quality
monitor the organisation. The personnel reporting to the management is employed in
accordance with this man-hour plan which ensures that the Company has enough manpower
resources. The Company management structure is defined in MOE 1.03 and 1.05.
General man-hour needs (demand) and availability (supply) is established annually and
reviewed quarterly when necessary by planning in order to prepare the man-hour plans.
The maintenance man-hour plan needs the anticipated maintenance demand for.
maintenance work load including all necessary work such as, but not limited to,
1. planning,
2. maintenance record checks,
3. production of worksheets/cards (in paper or electronic form),
4. accomplishment of maintenance, and inspection, and,
5. the completion of maintenance records.
When the Company cannot predict such demand, due to the short term nature of its
contracts, then such analysis should be based upon the minimum maintenance workload
needed for commercial viability.
When preparing the man-hour plans, the Company makes a supply calculation and
In order to guarantee an output of a highly qualified and reliable man-hour plan, the analysis
is documented and put into force after QA manager check and approval.
i. Base Maintenance
Base maintenance man-hour need is established by planning based on the forecasted aircraft
hangar visit plan. The aircraft hangar visit plan is updated weekly, or when required, as per
maintenance ordered and market projections.
A weekly maintenance man-hour planning is performed and documented by PPC showing the
estimated man/hours required to perform the planned work. This document includes daily
calendar versus maintenance inputs in the hangar. Base maintenance supervisor uses this
document as input to coordinate day-to-day maintenance personnel assignments. These
assignments are declared to boardman by base maintenance supervisor and Boardman uses
this information to prepare daily zone distribution and task assignments.
Line maintenance man-hour need is established based on the forecasted aircraft flight
schedule by planning and work orders and weekly maintenance plans issued by PPC.
Line Maintenance supervisors in line stations are responsible of keeping day to day track of
latest flight schedule, planned work orders, and to plan the man power to perform any
maintenance due.
The quality monitoring and regulatory compliance function man-hour need is established by
the QA Manager in order to prove sufficiency to meet the requirement of 145.A.65(c) and
AMC 145.A.65(c). In terms of quality monitoring, the Company have full time auditors as well
MOE
as part time assigned auditors having actually different job functions throughout the
organization qualified iaw MOE 3.06. Being a full time employee of the QA Department, other
quality functions, the time allocated to such functions are naturally taken into account in man-
hour planning and analysis.
In the event that sufficient manpower is unavailable to meet a specific target, overtime and /or
contracted staff is allocated as necessary. Shortfalls more than % 25 in available man/hours
per month is immediately reported to the Quality Manager for review and re-qualification of
the plans, The situation is also reported to the Accountable Manager to have an ultimate
management decision.
MOE
Tasks endangering the safe operation of the aircraft if not performed properly are classified
as critical tasks.
Such a task requires independent inspection to become complete when processed and
identified or marked as Requires Independent Inspection (in short, RII).
Critical tasks may be identified in different phases of a maintenance. Since different phases of
maintenance is managed by different entities or units, identification duty is shared by those
accross the whole maintenance process.
1. Customer/Operator.
Costomer/Operator may identify a task as critical and the company acts accordingly.
Customer/Operator issues customer work order where it may identify critical tasks
and maintenance performance requirements for each task ordered within customer
work order scope. (EASA Part M.A.402(a) specifies independent inspection
requirements.)
When the operator/customer orders implementation of its own critical task system, both the
Company’s system (as in MOE 2.23.02) and Customer’s system shall apply.
MOE
Tasks identified as RII are marked in the following maintenance documentation forms. Form
filling instructions describe in detail how to mark RII tasks. Refer to below table:
When using Forms OT-025, particular maintenance task steps are indicated also with serial
dots ( . . . . ) or a similar indicator for independent inspection in the right hand side of the
“Done by” column. This field is usually named as “RII”.
(a) General
Airworthiness Directives
Tasks coming through MPD/MRB safety route
Mandatory Service Bulletins and Engineering Orders/Work Orders
Airworthiness limitations like CDCCL tasks
EWIS tasks
Masking and their removals from aircraft body painting or touch ups
Tasks falling into ones listed in paragraph (b).
In addition to this general classification, Quality Manager may ask for identification of any task
as critical that falls into below:
This list is prepared in ATA chapter basis in order to simplify identification of critical tasks.
Task ATA
(c) Exceptions
Following tasks which may be falling in (a) or (b) are not considered as critical:
Visual inspections
Detailed visual inspections
NDT inspections
Borescope inspections in engines or APUs
An RII is an inspection to the critical tasks during performance and sign off iaw MOE 2.16.08
“Sign off after maintenance task completion”. Therefore this paragraph must be applied with
the provisions written therein.
MOE
Tasks marked as RII iaw MOE 2.23.01(b) are subject to independent inspection. The
following must be applied as a kind of checklist in each such case:
The purpose of this procedure is to minimise the rare possibility of an error being repeated
whereby the identical aircraft components are not reassembled thereby compromising more
than one system. This paragraph is to prevent the systematic and repetitive human errors of
simultaneous maintenance on such similar systems. Such tasks are also marked as critical.
Examples:
The remote possibility of failure to reinstall engine gearbox access covers or oil filler
caps on all engines of a multi-engined aircraft resulting in major oil loss from all
engines.
The case of removal and refitment of oil filler caps, which should require a re-
inspection of all oil filler caps after the last oil filler cap has supposedly been refitted.
The case of servicing of IDG on multiple engines.
The case of servicing of engine starters on multiple engines.
The case of removal and installation of multiple engine borescope port covers.
The case of replacement of fuel filters in both engines.
The case of inspection of chip detectors on both engines.
etc.
For these systems, to ensure that similar maintenance errors do not occur on disassembly
/reassembly of several components of the same type on the same aircraft during a particular
maintenance check, tasks cannot be performed by the same technician. However, since such
tasks are marked as critical, they are subject to an independent inspection. Same
independent inspector may inspect both tasks.
MOE
CS is responsible for verifying before CRS that such tasks distribution is proper. In case
proper distribution is failed, CS cannot sign the CRS and turns the tasks back for proper
performance.
When a section or parts of a workshop unit or component of the flight safety critical items will
be concealed during assembly and cannot be proven during inspection and functioning test in
the bench or when installed in the aircraft, workshops manager may define independent
inspection steps. Inspection is performed by relevantly authorized workshop technician.
Specific maintenance procedures are described in this section of the MOE. These procedures
are used in those cases where specific instructions from the approved manufacturer’s
manuals are not present and/or additional instructions are considered necessary by the
Company
2.24.1 Work away from base or work shop including occasional Line maintenance as
per 145.A.75
2.24.1 Work away from base or work shop including occasional Line maintenance as
per 145.A.75
Maintenance away from the facilities out of the ones defined in MOE 1.08 is called "Work
Away", and may be performed when these conditions are satisfied:
The person to whom a work away authorisation is issued has been provided with all the
necessary information and guidance relating to maintenance data and any special technical
instructions associated with the specific task undertaken.
This compliance must be evaluated in each case prior to accepting and commencing the work
and assessed against the specific requirements related to the Scope of Work described in
MOE 1.09.
These services are provided on a case by case basis, when need arises, such as but not
limited to, a corrective action upon an aircraft defect after base maintenance/defect
rectification, as an answer to a warranty claim, etc.
QA Manager is responsible for evaluation and written approval of Work Away. This approval
is considered as part of maintenance records.
NDT inspections and in-situ NDT inspection releases are not considered within the “work
away” procedure. These works are normal inspection activities when required resources
appropriately supplied during the process and do not require QA Manager approval when
performed away.
The place Work Away provision is applied is clearly indicated in the technical records.
Because of its exceptional nature, a work away case cannot be considered as line
maintenance though line maintenance release is permitted under work away process. It is
important to note that, no line maintenance agreement under base maintenance scope of
work can be signed unless line maintenance privileges clearly obtained, documented in MOE
1.09 and exposed explicitly on approval schedule.
MOE
Technician authorization for engine run up is given in two different levels as follows;
1. Engine Idle Run: Authorized technician may run the engine only at idle status.
2. Engine Run up: Authorized technician may run the engine at all power values (idle,
run-up, high-power run etc.).
The term “Engine Run Up” represents any one or a combination of the followings:
For engine run-up training, simulators and/or real aircraft should be used.
If run up requires high-power run/full power assurance, another technician (not necessarily
having an engine run up authorization) authorized on subject aircraft/engine type must be
available to observe engine run up in the cockpit.
Authorized technician in run-up command is responsible for taking all necessary safety
actions according to AMM and all other technical data, contacting ATC to obtain required
permissions.
When required (such as but not limited to, after a troubleshooting in the cabin pressurizing
system, maintenance data requirement after replacing a component or after a structural repair
on the pressurized zone of the structure, etc.), aircraft pressure run may be performed by
competent technician on aircraft. Another competent technician on subject aircraft type must
be available to observe pressure run in the cockpit as inspector/observer of pressure run.
Competent technician is responsible for applying all of the measurements written in AMM and
only AMM references is used for pressure run.
Whoever attends the pressure run test for any reason, he should not have serious health
problems.
The maximum value of the cabin pressure permitted on ground is 5.0 psi. For higher
pressures, the aircraft should perform a dedicated flight.
MOE
When the park position or place of an aircraft is changed, the aircraft may to move towards its
new parking place using an external towing tractor. The process of so moving is called
“Aircraft Towing”.
1. Tractor operator:
Staff who have been provided with towing driving license and authorized.
2. Cockpit technician:
-Technician holding the type training of the aircraft to be towed.
3. Interphone officer:
Staff assuring the communication between Tractor Operator and Cockpit Technician
who knows ICAO standard marshaling signs.
4. Marshallers:
Staff communicating with Interphone Officer or tractor operator with ICAO marshaling
signals to avoid aircraft to crash another aircraft, vehicle, item and/or building
approaching on movement on the ground.
NOTE: All of the staff to be employed in Aircraft Towing must have the knowledge of
ICAO Standard marshaling signals.
Procedure
Cockpit technician has overall responsibility for taking all the required actions in accordance
with AMM. He ensures that external condition of the a/c is in AMM standards. Tow bar and
tractor to be used meet the standards. Relevant staffs are in the work place.
Cockpit technician sits in captain (left) seat and after fulfilling the AMM requirements, ask ATC
(tower) for permission of towing. After permission is granted by ATC, Tractor operator is
informed via Interphone officer for the route to be followed.
He shall continue to communicate with ATC, Tractor officer and interphone officer as required
to ensure successful towing.
Interphone officer organizes the towing process by evaluating the information provided by
Cockpit, Tractor Operator or Signalers. According to this evaluation, he leads a safe towing
process by giving directives to other staff.
Tractor operator starts moving, proceeds and ends the towing process in accordance with the
directives given by Interphone Officer. During the towing process, Tractor operator applies all
of the directives given by Interphone Officer.
Signalers, during the aircraft's towing, forwards information to Interphone Officer with ICAO
standard hand signals to avoid aircraft's tail or wings to crash another aircraft, vehicle and/or
approaching to building in a dangerous way.
When the towing process is completed, Cockpit technician informs ATC and ensures all
requirements are in AMM are applied before leaving the aircraft.
MOE

This procedure aims to set a program when handling aircraft computers sensitive to
Electrostatic Discharges (ESD).
(a) References
1. The ARINC 606A (12-Nov-2004) contains an "ESD Control Program" with a specific
Chapter applicable to Maintenance & Repair Organizations.
2. AMM 20-15-00 of the aircraft manufacturer.
(b) General
There is no exhaustive list of ESD sensitive components. However, we can consider that all
components incorporating electronic devices are more or less sensitive to electrostatic
discharges, although they may be protected by design from aggression coming from the
connector.
Today’s aircraft manufacturer equipment specifications require that LRU's shall not need ESD
handling precautions unless opened (in shop) or unless being Printed Circuit Boards without
housing.
Apart from some specific parts, aircraft LRU's are not sensitive by design, to human
originated Electro-Static Discharges on their connectors. Nevertheless, some exceptions
remain for which specific maintenance procedures apply, as described in the manufacturer
AMM applicable to the removal/installation of these parts.
Concerning the handling of LRU's in the aircraft, the applicable precautions for every
electronic LRU are given in the manufacturer AMM chapter 20-15-00.
1. As indicated in AMM, some units may require additional precautions like putting the
blanking caps on their connectors.
2. There is also for example, the specific case of the Printed Circuit Boards without their
own housings (examples include but not limited to PISA-Passenger Interface and
Supply Adapter, PSU- Power Supply Unit, Cabin & Flight Crew Call system, etc.)
which require precautions as per AMM.
3. The OBRM's which are not LRU's, require specific precautions (For example Airbus
SIL 00-022).
The technician take the same handling precaution for every electronic components and parts,
when opening them and working on them. The precautions regarding human generated
Electro-Static Discharges while working on electronic equipment are ruled up by the
equipment CMM. Technician ensures that the workstation is designed in such a way that the
CMM requirements can be applied for the LRU's intended to be handled in the workstation.
For more details the operator can refer to the CMM of each computer. These CMM's may in
turn refer to standard ESD prevention techniques: wrist bonding for operators, anti-static foam
for the electronic components.
1. ESD sensitive devices are handled using grounded wrist straps and conductive mats
on the table or on the floor.
MOE
2. Parts should be packaged with ESD approved conductive packaging and when
required, sealed with conductive tape.
3. ESD sensitive parts should not be stored with carpet, foam, vinyl or any other
material that can store or produce an electrical charge.
4. Appropriate warning signs and decals are placed in areas where ESD sensitive parts
handled.
5. Wrist straps and earthing mats should be tested and recorded at regular intervals.
Such test results should be recorded and kept in the stores.
MOE
2.25.1 Objective
The objective of this procedure to set a management system to support Safety Management
System (SMS) that make use of any means to detect and rectify maintenance error;
This system aims to detect and rectify maintenance errors that could, as minimum, result in a
failure, malfunction, or defect endangering the safe operation of the aircraft if not performed
properly.
In order to determine the work items to be considered, the following maintenance tasks
should primarily be reviewed to assess their impact on safety:
2.25.2 Process
The Company has established an internal occurrence reporting system by using and filling the
It is the responsibility of all staff to report occurrences and maintenance errors detected
during any maintenance process. Each staff working in maintenance is responsible for
forwarding such report form filled to his immediate supervisor. Besides this, staff may forward
such forms to Quality Manager using any means (email, dropbox, or handover) when he
needs privacy without disclosing his name on the form. Any manager receiving such an
internal occurrence report form, forwards a copy to Quality Manager for central database
collection purpose.
It is not possible to define precisely every significant hazard which requires reporting. What is
judged to be reportable on one class of aircraft may not be so on another and the absence or
presence of a single factor, human or technical, can transform a minor occurrence into a
significant hazard or an accident. Judgment by the reporter of the degree of hazard or
potential hazard involved is therefore essential in many cases. So, the reportables such as
but not limited to below listed items may be reported;
1. fires,
2. uncontained engine failures,
3. in flight shut down,
4. critically low fuel states,
5. close proximity between aircraft,
6. any damage to aircraft structure whether or not the damage was minor or major,
7. any damage to aircraft components whether due to technical failure or improper
handling and or storage,
8. any injury to personnel regardless whether the person required hospitalization,
9. any problem related to shift handover or lack of communication,
10. any problem which was related to task interpretation which resulted or could have
resulted in task quality degradation,
11. any problem resulting from missing or use of wrong data,
12. any problem resulting from missing/unavailable or wrong tools, facilities or qualified
personnel,
13. etc.
(b) Investigation
Investigation is performed by means of different investigation methods, such as, but not
limited to MEDA, 8D (Eight Disciplines), DIVE, etc. Each method uses similar investigation
tools like cause-effect diagrams, fishbones, poka-yoke mistakeproofings, relentless root
cause analysis, 5-why analysis, etc.
(c) Records
Investigation process and meetings thereof are recorded in hardcopy or softcopy and kept as
maintenance records.
An immediate feedback to reporting staff is vital and this is performed by his manager or
Quality Manager in person when so reported.
A semi annual and annual report will be issued regarding the reporting system. It shall contain
a summary of the reported incidents with an indication of the trends. It shall also show a
graphical presentation on relation between each factor to give management a generalized
view.
The conclusion of investigation of these reports will be passed to the training center to use
those data in the course of conducting continuation training for certifying staff and support
staff.
Management staff as defined in MOE 1.03 is responsible for incorporating the results and
decisions of investigations as follows.
2.26.1 Objective
Shift-task handover is considered a risk factor for communication and work continuity
problems between the outgoing person and incoming person, and may have negative effects
to the quality and safety. The objective of defining the system for shift-task handover process
is to guarantee the continuity of maintenance and inspection work. The Company policy is to
perform best handover during shift-task deliveries to assure quality and safety.
Shift work is an employment practice designed to make use of, or provide service across, up
to all 24 hours of the clock each day of the week. The practice typically sees the day divided
into "shifts", set periods of time during which different groups of staff take up their posts. The
Company may apply shift system in order to augment the effectiveness of the manpower
resources it have.
Task handover is considered a risk factor for communication and work continuity problems,
and may have negative effects to the quality and safety.
2.26.2 Process
In order to ensure human factor minimization on achieving quality and safety this process is
run every time a task is handed over.
The outgoing person's ability to understand and communicate the important elements
of the job or task being passed over to the incoming person.
The incoming person's ability to understand and assimilate the information being
provided by the outgoing person.
A formalized process for exchanging information between outgoing and incoming
persons and a planned shift overlap and a place for such exchange to take place.

Team leader remains responsible for a OT-324 form filling and attaching appropriately to the
related task card/job card/engineering order/NRWO. Team leader also remains responsible
for informing related SS about details for handover.
When shifts are applied in operations, all incomplete tasks should be informed by details to
team leader/supervisor to be entered to Handover Register Book (with name of responsible
staff, date, reference of the procedure used and last completed step as possible) to inform the
incoming shift. Handover Register Book shall be signed by both outgoing and incoming
supervisors. Additionally, verbal transfer and explanation of written information shall be done.
Handover Register Book completion is the responsibility of the outgoing personnel.
When possible, team leaders or support staff should be the same person(s) for similar tasks
and successful handover.
Significant tasks and problems should be highlighted on handover book to alert the incoming
shift.
A suitable place (such as dedicated board/room of the supervisor) should be selected for all
handovers.
MOE
Outgoing shift supervisor should not leave the work area unless written AND verbal handover
is successfully completed AND handover register book is signed. Additionally, a phone list of
all outgoing shift staff should be available for incoming staff.
Sufficient time (15-30 minutes) will be good for incoming shift supervisor to be earlier at
handover area to handover the handover book and significant items.
If a task is incomplete, NRWO may be issued for task to allow outgoing staff record name,
reference of the procedure used, last completed step and approval of him by his stamp on the
NRWO as possible.

Significant tasks and problems should be highlighted in the Shift Report to alert the incoming
shift.
A suitable place (such as room of the Supervisor) should be selected for the handover.
Outgoing shift supervisor should not leave the work area unless written AND verbal handover
is successfully completed AND Shift Report is issued. Additionally, a phone list of all outgoing
shift staff should be available for incoming staff.
Sufficient time overlap (15-30 minutes) will be good to discuss the significant items.
If a task is incomplete, NRWO may be issued for task to allow outgoing staff record name,
reference of the procedure used, last completed step and approval of him by his stamp on the
NRWO as possible.

Any data is transferred to incoming certifying staff including semi-finished product, facility
status, work status, manning status, outstanding issues and other possible issues using the
Workshop Job Compilation Form (OT-XXX)
When shift is handed over, all incomplete tasks should be reported by details to the incoming
shift. Certifying Staff issues the Workshop Job Compilation Form (OT-XXX) to inform the
incoming shift about the all completed and handed over works performed at the end of his
shift. Additionally, verbal transfer and explanation of written information shall be done.
Significant jobs and problems should be highlighted in the Shift Report to alert the incoming
shift.
Sufficient time overlap (15-30 minutes) will be good to discuss the significant items if possible.
A “Maintenance Data Ambiguity” is the possibility to express more than one interpretation of
information, in maintenance instructions, words, illustrations, pictures, or other material in any
media that lowers the desired level of specificity required during a maintenance operation.
The Company set policy of “no inaccuracy tolerance” and “no ambiguity tolerance” In order to
avoid maintenance errors originating from Maintenance Data Inaccuracies and Ambiguities. In
order to conduct maintenance operations iaw this policy, following procedure applies.
2.27.2 Procedure
Any inaccurate, ambiguous or incomplete maintenance data, such as AMM, CMM, IPC, SRM,
NTM, SB, VSB, AD, STC or Part 21 approved data or maintenance document, such as task
cards, EOs and WOs as defined in MOE 2.08 is immediately reported to Engineering
Department by the user preferably with an Engineering Investigation Request Form (EIR,
Form No OT-016) or by e-mail.
Engineering Department shall initiate an investigation process on the same and do one of the
following:
(a) If the source of the maintenance data is OEM, Vendor, Authority, STC Holder or
Part 21 Approved Organisation, the procedure is as follows:
(c) If the originator of the Maintenance Data is one of the Planning, or PPC, the
procedure is as follows:
1. Advise related department to correct the document and to provide it to the user.
2. Advise the department of origin to the user.
(d) If task cards, EOs, WOs issued and furnished by customer/operator, the
procedure is as follows:
(e) Records:
The Engineering Investigation Request file and attachments including the form and
the supporting documents are kept in Engineering iaw MOE 2.14 until the time case
is resolved and file closed.
The advance copies of the maintenance data shall be inserted to the server by
Documentation Department.
The affected branch of work is temporarily be stopped by QA Manager and will only continue
work after either of the above procedures run and clarification of the maintenance data is
achieved.
For production planning, the Company employs an organizational unit as Production Planning
Department (PPC) under VP Technical as described in MOE 1.05.
Each maintenance work is initiated upon a clear work order identified with a unique project
number. Such maintenance work is called as “project” in Wings System from which whole
maintenance process from work order to CRS is managed through. Such project may be
arisen upon a contract or a singular request with a clear work scope definition by the
customer/operator. A project ranges from an individual work order to a complete C check
package. Work order in Wings system is issued by PPC department. Workscope of this work
order is clearly defined under this project number in the same system.
PPC plans, initiates, coordinates and controls workflow of maintenance activities considering
resources such as manpower, facility, material, tool & equipment and applicable maintenance
data. PPC performs this function and control in detail iaw TPM-PPC 2.28 Production Planning
procedure. See also TPM-BKM 2.28 for detailed Base Maintenance Project Management
procedure.
Application of critical tasks are identified, carefully observed and managed iaw MOE 2.23. It is
the company policy not to apply overtime in maintenance, however, when required in
extraordinary cases, a half man-day overtime in terms of working hours may be applied.
No shift supervisor is employed since shift system is not used, however, check supervisors
(aka. boardman) in coordination with aircraft base maintenance CS, determine who to control
the related zones of the AC using personnel skills, competencies and abilities.
The main driver to determine whether a scheduled maintenance check shall be considered as
“line maintenance” shall remain the content of the check. Additional tasks or constraints may
be also associated to the check such as deferred items, rectification of defects, inspection
requesting skilled workers, qualification of the certifying staff, environmental conditions,
overall length of the tasks etc. Access to a hangar or hangar in the nearby shall be part of the
decision making.
1 Line Maintenance Manager (LMM), PPC receives a CWR in any acceptable format from
the customer. This is an externally issued document that the company will run the below
process.
2 LMM or PPC performs an analysis whether the work referred in CWR remains within the
approved scope of approval of the company.
MOE
3 LMM or PPC decides either the WO can be performed by the company or not.
4 When decision is made as “WO can be performed by the company”; LMM or PPC takes
into account each Task and constraints such as deferred items, rectification of defects,
inspection requesting skilled workers, qualification of the certifying staff, environmental
conditions, overall length of the tasks etc.
1 LMM or PPC verifies with the customer if the package delivered is utilizable by the
company. Refer to MOE 2L.02.02.
d. Resource Availability
e. Contracting Maintenance
.a Any work performed by a contractor will be inspected, as set forth in the incoming
inspection procedure defined in MOE 2.02 “Acceptance / Inspection of Aircraft
Components and Materials from Outside Contractors”, to verify that the work was
performed in the manner requested by the purchase order and equivalent to the
company’s standards.
.b A thorough review will be made of the maintenance record and on the authorized
release certificate to ensure it adequately describes the work performed and/or
references the document used to perform the work.

MOE
Human performance limitations are strictly observed while planning maintenance activities.
Maintenance activity is planned by taking into account the availability of authorised staff,
man-hour, tools, equipment, facility and ground time.
Any person who is involved in man-hour planning has a detailed understanding of human
performance limitations, complexity of work, critical tasks and additional factors and their
applications. During a maintenance, the man power allocation is done by the LMM/PPC .
Tasks, if not performed properly, resulting in a failure, malfunction or defect endangering the
safe operation of the aircraft are defined as Critical Tasks (CT). The detailed procedure is
defined in MOE 2.23.
A CWO contain in its workscope detailed work instruction called Shop Action Order (SHA).
SHA documents preparation responsibility using technical data (CMM, etc.) belongs to
Workshop Maintenance Manager. Workshop maintenance is run iaw TPM-ATL 1.9.2 Shop
Action Flow procedure.
MOE
MOE Part 2L provides additional procedures which are specific for the line maintenance
environment, which have been not been covered in the MOE Part 2. Where a procedure, was
already covered in the MOE Part 2 and there is no need of further detail to be added, a direct
reference to the MOE Part 2 procedures is made.
MOE
After receiving inspection, appropriate company Serviceable Tag is created and attached to
the components/materials.
Station sending the material changes its storage status as “on transfer”.
Station receiving the material ensures (by confirming with base, or by updating the system)
recording its storage status from “on transfer” to its new storage location.
(d) Quarantine:
Component/material that fails the incoming inspection is placed in quarantine and returned
to the customer or the supplier by providing the reason for rejection.
MOE
The components removed serviceable from the aircraft are processed iaw MOE 2.16.04.
Storage of the material which is received from Aircraft, Supplier or the Customer, is the
responsibility of the company Stores as defined in MOE 2.03.

Station sending the tool/equipment transfers the tool location from its originator location
identifier to “700” in the Company MIS (Wings) – indicating the tool is shipped being
transferred at that moment. Tool transferred to the new location.
MOE
Following inspection steps must be satisfied before accepting the incoming tool/equipment
which already accepted and tagged with a Serviceable Tool Tag in another station:
Station receiving the tool/equipment ensures (by confirming with base, or by updating the
system) recording the tool location from “700” to its stored location identifier in the Company
MIS (Wings).
MOE
Customer is responsible for providing approved maintenance data including but not limited
to AMM, IPC, Line Maintenance Check forms/task cards and any relevant procedures of the
customer which are required for accomplishment of specific maintenance activities such as
servicing, fuelling, de-icing, etc.
Technician on site is responsible for using the current approved maintenance data as
provided.
Before providing any contracted service to the customer, customer’s technical procedures
are obtained by any means acceptable to both parties. These procedures are presented by
an initial training and any time when a specific maintenance service is requested which is
beyond the scope of the initial training.
These procedures and related instructions may be provided by customer’s MCC when
providing unscheduled services.
Equipment are entered in an electronic list in order to quickly find a record when needed and
list is filtered monthly for a maintenance due.
Maintenance requirements of GSE are defined and traced by using following forms for the
stated purposes:
Maintenance beyond the company capability or within warranty is acquired from out
sources. OT-209 is updated according to the service order form.
Any defect rectification request is submitted by the user to FMM. When modification
required, a Facility Maintenance Work Order (Form OT-276) is filled and submitted to FMM.
The list of the equipments maintenance and operating instructions is kept up to date by
FMM.
The maintenance instructions are kept in individual folders at the station. The preperation,
revision, publication and distribution of all instructions are the responsibility FMM.
When a failure occurs, FMM is informed by Line Maintenance Station Chief (LMC). If the
failure can not be solved internally, the service is called for repair. Line Station Chief makes
sure that the equipment becomes serviceable after repair.
Fuel supply process may be monitored depending on the contract to ensure that all safety
warnings and precautions stated in AMM, customer’s policy and procedures if applicable are
satisfied.
Ground handling services may be monitored depending on the contract and according to

satisfying the acceptance requirements defined in MOE 2.02 Table 1, and are installed
without full receiving inspection process, provided that the part is checked visually for
obvious damage.
Customer has the full responsibility on the verification of approved sources for material
provided by the customer.
Compliance with loan and contract requirements is the responsibility of the customer.
A component can be removed as serviceable from the customer’s aircraft when the
customer requests to do so.
If it is a pooled or loaned part and will be returned to the customer or its designated
destination, it is certified with ARC iaw MOE 2.16.04.(c) and shipped as requested by the
customer. In case MOE 2.16.04.(c) criteria not satisfied, the component is either identified
as defective or quarantined item and processed accordingly.
If it will be used on customer’s another aircraft, it is certified with a Serviceable Tag iaw MOE
2.16.04.(c) before installation.
If found necessary or requested by the customer, the part is stored iaw MOE 2.03 until
further instructions.
The customer is responsible for advising course of action for removed loan parts. The loan
parts removed by the technician from the aircraft and the related records are returned either
to the customer or to the address provided by the customer.
MOE
Each unserviceable component removed from the aircraft during maintenance is identified
using an Unserviceable Tag iaw MOE 2.19.01.
Unserviceable part is tagged stating the information “removed from”, “position”, “date of
removal”, “reason for removal” iaw MOE 2.19.02.
Further follow up of the component and the attached tag is responsibility of the customer.
The advice of removal (Work Order) and original records are sent to the Customer according
to customer’s procedures.
The customer is responsible for advising course of action for removed unserviceable parts.
The unserviceable parts removed by the technician from the aircraft and the related records
are returned either to the customer or to the address provided by the customer.
The Company has an independent Quality System. The Quality System monitors compliance
of the operations with EASA Part 145, MOE and the associated procedures as well as
strategies, objectives and policies in order to continuously improve the Company operation
system.
The Company Continuous Improvement is achieved in three nested levels A, B and C. (See
Figure 1);
In each Level, individual Continuous Improvement Cycles are applied. (See Figure 2, Figure
3, Figure 4).
The head of the Quality System is the Accountable Manager however; it is day to day
managed by the QA Manager who has direct access to the Accountable Manager concerning
the Company Quality System in terms of operations performed under EASA Part 145
approval and is the manager of the QA department of the Company. Refer to MOE 1.05
Management Organisation Chart for a clear picture of the organisation.
The primary objective of the Quality System is to enable the organisation to ensure that it can
deliver a safe product and that organisation remains in compliance with the requirements.
The Audit (as referred in Level B Continuous Improvement Cycle) is an objective process of
routine sample checks of all aspects of the Company’s ability to carry out all maintenance to
the required standards and includes some product sampling as this is the end result of the
maintenance process. This process is bound to procedures in this MOE as;
Audit is documented and reported. Any nonconformity identified therein is also documented
and is managed iaw;
The processes (1), (2), and (3) are managed by Quality Audit Personnel (or Quality Auditor, or
Independent Auditor, or shortly, Auditor). The Auditors work independently and are kept free
from any influences or interventions. For these reasons a diverse selection of auditors
constitute the auditor source of the Company. Auditors are qualified iaw;
A procedure may become subject to an Audit with or without any plan or a notification. The
conditions of such cases may vary, e.g. an immediate or planned need for verification of
whether the procedure is followed. Depending on this nature, an Audit is classified as;
A Scheduled Audit is performed and repeated in regular intervals iaw a plan document, so
called Audit Schedule.
An Unscheduled Audit may be performed for a particular subject upon an immediate need
arisen from any indications of the Company operations.
The Company establishes an Audit Schedule to be completed during a specific calendar year
period. The schedule will cover to review all aspects of the Company operation at least once
within a period of 12 months iaw an accepted program.
The frequency of the audits referred in the Audit Schedule may be increased at Accountable
Manager's discretion but will not be decreased without the agreement of EASA. Decreasing
the frequency up to 24 months is provisioned provided that there are no safety related
findings and subject to being satisfied that the Company has a good record of rectifying
findings in a timely manner. A decreased frequency is reverting back to a controllable rate
when this track is broken away. It is considered unlikely that a frequency of greater than 24
months would not be acceptable for any audit subject.
EASA GM 145.A.65(c) (1) should be used when preparing an Audit Schedule. It should cover;
The Company is required to monitor compliance with the requirements they have designed to
ensure safe operations, airworthy aircraft, satisfied customer and the serviceability. The Audit
Schedule considers significant changes to the management, organization, operations or
technologies as well as the regulatory requirements. The schedule is flexible, and allows
unscheduled audits when adverse trends are identified. Special emphasis is required upon
past nonconformities managed iaw MOE 3.03 in a particular subject when preparing Audit
Schedule.
MOE
Procedure and product audits may be combined by selecting a specific product example,
such as an aircraft or engine or component and sample checking all the procedures and
requirements associated with the specific product example to ensure that the end result
should be an airworthy product.
The Audit Schedule is prepared by QA Manager and approved ultimately by the Accountable
Manager before each audit year. Schedule is placed in the Company MIS (Lotus Notes FT
Module). Lotus Notes FT Module User’s Guide K-00003 details the usage of this MIS.
The Quality and Safety Policy recognises the need for all personnel to cooperate with the
quality auditors iaw MOE 1.02.
An instance of the audit process is owned ultimately by the QA Manager through the assigned
auditors. This process will consist of the following phases as detailed below;
Note 1: The process is run with extensive use of the Company MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module).
Lotus Notes FT Module User’s Guide K-00003 details the usage of this MIS and not
every single step of the system usage is described in this procedure.
MOE
Note 2: In absence or ineligibility of MIS due to the auditee’s network restrictions, manual
process forms are defined in MOE 5.01.
Audit date and time can be negotiated with unit managers to find best fit date
according to auditor’s and unit manager’s schedule. A scheduled audit should be
complete in the calendar month specified in the Audit Schedule. QA Manager can
postpone an audit one or more than a calendar month depending on workload. Unit
managers cannot offer to postpone an audit to another month than scheduled.
QA Manager nominates auditors for each audit 1 month time before audit date.
Auditors prepare for the audit. Auditors enter initial data of the audit with questions
into MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module). This initial data is send to the unit manager(s) for
approval using MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module). After approval auditors can use this
initial data with questions. When QA Manager approves initial data, unit manager(s)
will receive it over MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module).
The purpose of audit is to focus the auditor’s mind on what is to be reviewed and
how to meet the audit objective. The auditor will need to be selective in what he
investigates. Therefore, the results of research need to be documented in a
manner that can be used during the audit. A checklist may be needed to meet
this purpose.
Auditor may prepare an audit scenario document which may be used to guide the
auditor through the audit. Audit is not a knowledge test, so auditors should avoid
questions knowledge testing.
During audit, auditors may need some extra sub forms to collect evidence or data
for statistics. If necessary, auditors can prepare sub forms to execute quick data
collection, before starting the audit. These sub forms may be prepared in paper or
in digital. They are are not mandatory and there is no need to keep them as
quality records. But if they are attached to the final report, will help evaluating
MOE
company and quality management performance when required even after long
time.
There is no standard form or design for sub forms. Auditors are free to design any
form or piece of paper.
Meeting is held with related unit manager(s) before the audit to inform concerning
the audit. The reason for that is to use this information during the audit to obtain
maximum communication and familiarization between auditors and auditees.
3. Execution of audit.
Opening meeting,
Investigation and picking evidences,
Evaluation of the audit results,
Nonconformity statements,
Recording nonconformity,
End meeting.
a. Opening meeting.
Auditors will handle opening meeting with related unit manager(s). All auditors of
the audit should attend to meeting. During opening meeting following items will be
covered by lead auditor.
During investigation and evidence picking, the auditor will try to verify that;
The checklist, with any additional notes, is a record of what was examined and
found during the audit against applicable requirements, procedures and products.
When analyzed, it enables the auditor to verify that:
d. Nonconformity statements.
Once the audit findings have been written, careful consideration needs to be
given to their importance.
e. Recording Nonconformity
After completing audit, auditor will enter the raised nonconformities into MIS
(Lotus Notes FT Module). Software sends it to for approvals of the accountability
holders automatically. After electronic approval, nonconformity reports are sent to
unit manager over MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module).
f. End Meeting
At the end of audit, prior to preparing the audit report, the audit team will hold a
meeting with the auditees. The main purpose of this meeting is to present audit
observations to the auditee in such a manner so as to ensure that they clearly
understand the results of the audit.
4. Audit completion.
Audit completed with an audit report, and finalized on the Company MIS (Lotus Notes
FT Module). After marking question results and mentioned any observation on the
report, auditor sends an electronic notification to unit managers over the Company
MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module) automatically. With this notification, unit managers are
informed that audit report is complete.
The audit report provides the auditee management with an overall assessment
obtained through the audit. It should reflect accurately the verbal report given at
the closing meeting, including audit findings and a summary statement. The
report will develop;
Also recommendations for remedial action or further audits of specific topics may
be concluded within the report.
The audit report will be prepared on the FT Software and distributed to the related
unit managers in 10 working days.
MOE
For external audit, beside finalizing audit report on the Company MIS (Lotus
Notes FT Module), lead auditor fills External Audit Report Form OQ-009 to send
auditee as paper or in digital.
The audit reports are considered as technical records and managed iaw MOE
2.14 Technical Records Control procedure in general. However, being this
procedure as basis for minimums, retention time must also conform with quality
manual. Reports include all associated documents and references including audit
plan, corrective action requests, closure proofs etc. and kept either in paper or
electronic format.

3.2.1 General
Normal quality action of products released is included within the release to service procedure
MOE 2.16. Inspectors, CS and SS are responsible for these controls applied before release to
service as described in MOE 2.16. This is considered as a Quality Control activity rather than
Quality Assurance.
The independent audits should sample check one product on each product line every 12
months as a demonstration of the effectiveness of maintenance procedures compliance. For
the purpose of the independent audit, a product line includes any product under an approval
class rating iaw MOE 1.09 and specified in the approval schedule.
Product audits may be combined with the procedure audits, when clearly documented, by
selecting a specific product example, such as an aircraft or engine or instrument or
component and sample checking all the procedures and requirements associated with the
specific product example to ensure that the end result should be an airworthy product.
The independent audit does not require each procedure to be checked against each product
line when it can be shown that the particular procedure is common to more than one product
line and the procedure has been checked every 12 months without resultant findings. Where
findings have been identified, the particular procedure should be rechecked against other
product lines until the findings have been rectified.
Annual product related audits covered in Audit Schedule (considering MOE 1.09 Scope of
Work) as minimum:
All product audits are also performed in accordance with procedures described in MOE 3.01.
All product audits are documented using audit reporting procedures.
There may be additional audit activities in terms of investigating an escape identified after
CRS upon request or QA Manager’s sole discretion. The initiating reasons may include root
cause analysis results and investigation needs resulting from those. Such investigations are
also documented using audit reporting procedures.
MOE
The audit reports are considered as technical records and managed iaw MOE 2.14 Technical
Records Control procedure.
MOE
A nonconformity may be originated from any operational indication including but not limited to
below listed sources;
Should such a nonconformity is arisen, QA Manager will request a Corrective Action Request
(CAR) and monitors corrective actions in the Company MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module). Lotus
Notes FT Module User’s Guide K-00003 details the usage of this MIS.
After making an entry of a nonconformity to this system, it stays open until it is appropriately
closed iaw this procedure.
Note 1: The process is run with extensive use of the Company MIS (Lotus Notes FT Module).
Lotus Notes FT Module User’s Guide K-00003 details the usage of this MIS and not
every single step of the system usage is described in this procedure.
Note 2: In absence or ineligibility of MIS due to the auditee’s network restrictions, manual
process forms are defined in MOE 5.01.
A nonconformity requires a plan for corrective action. When such nonconformity identified, QA
Manager and the unit manager responsible for the area nonconformity identified agrees on
the plan and timescales of Corrective Action (CA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and
Preventive Action (PA).
In case the nonconformity arisen after an audit performed iaw MOE 3.01 or MOE 3.02, the
auditor enters the audit report and findings together to the Company MIS (Lotus Notes FT
Module) to the QA Manager. MIS sends the report and the findings to the auditee after QA
Manager approval (CAR). Auditee unit manager nominates a responsible person and sends
the CAR to him for rectification. Responsible person has to make a RCA and enter with the
CA and PA on the related portion of the CAR and send it to the auditee unit manager for
approval. Auditee unit manager send it to the auditor for evalution if found satisfactory.
MOE
Auditor evaluates the RCA, CA and PA, performs a follow-up audit if it is necessary and
sends it to the QA Manager for approval if finds satisfactory. If not, rejects it and sends back
to the auditee unit manager with the reason of rejection.
It is required that responsible unit manager to take timely corrective action on nonconformities
identified. Though corrective action may be delegated to the employees, it remains a
management responsibility. The auditor has provided a valuable service by finding the
nonconformity and reporting it in a way that is clearly understandable to the auditee. The
reported nonconformity is almost always the symptom of the problem, not the cause. After
completing the audit, auditor will enter the non-conformance into the MIS. System sends it to
QA Manager for approval, automatically. After QA Manager approval, non-conformance
report will be sent to an area manager over MIS for internal audits. For external audit, while
entering non-conformance, auditor will prepare a three-part nonconformance report to send to
the auditee in paper or in digital. Either area managers will design corrective actions by
themselves or area managers and auditors will design corrective actions within teamwork.
Area managers need to focus on the following elements to find the best corrective
action.
Identification of the finding or concern and the need for immediate action.
Analysis of objective evidence to determine the root causes of the finding or
concern.
What corrective actions are required to ensure that the non-conformity does
not recur
Identification of planned corrective steps to take to ensure that the non-
conformity will not recur.
Implementation schedule, including a time frame for putting corrective actions
in place.
Allocation of resources by the Accountable Manager where approriate.
After action, designated person will send non-conformance form to area manager for
sufficiency control. If corrective actions are accepted by area manager, nonconformity
form will be redirected to Quality for follow up over MIS, by area manager.
If area manager does not accept actions, he/she will send back to designate person
with his request.
Root cause is an initiating cause of a causal chain which raises nonconformity. All personnel,
in particular the managements personnel is obliged to evaluate route cause of nonconformity
and design corrective / preventive actions to stop repeating.
When corrective actions taken, unit manager needs to be sure that route cause of non
conformity is expressed in the same record.
To identify root causes, the Company has developed and implemented analytical and formal
tools and methods such as Eight Disciplines, MEDA, DIVE, etc.
Root couse analysis tools and methods are documented as part of corrective action records.
Preventive action is the immediate action for adverse trends to preclude safety and
airworthiness hazards before long life corrective action.
Being essentially proactive, the aim of preventive action is to use all sources of information to
identify, analyze and eliminate potential nonconformities.
When CA, RCA and PA found satisfactory, QA Manager accepts the actions and
nonconformity record is closed.
When QA Manager is not satisfied of any of the CA or RCA or PA, QA Manager rejects and
send CAR back to the related unit manager by MIS.
When a nonconformity CA, RCA or PA is unlikely to be produced in its agreed time frame, the
responsible person may requests an extention from QA auditor via Lotus computer system
with the acceptable reason..
QA Manager reports to the Accountable Manager if the findings not closed in agreed time
frame including extension time.
(f) Follow-up
All audit findings and nonconformities identified iaw this procedure are subject to a follow-up
process.
Whenever area manager completes the corrective action, designated follow up person
responsible starts corrective action conformation. Designated follow up person will receive
follow up request over MIS for internal audit and he will receive either email or fax from
external auditee to start follow up. When external auditee sends the follow up request, they
need to attach, all necessary evidence regarding actions. When the evidence indicates that
corrective action has been effective, the auditor will close out the non-conformance. Close
MOE
statement will be entered to the MIS by follow up responsible person. Together with entering
statement into software an e-mail or fax will be sent to external auditee for external audit.
Quality Feedback Report should be a summary of all audit and nonconformity activities. Level
1 nonconformities and overdue ones should be brought to the Accountable Manager’s
attention in three workdays. Whenever QA Manager needs to feedback the Accountable
Manager about any subject, he may not need to wait regular feedback date.
Nonconformities stayed open exceeding allowed open status period should be placed in the
Accountable Manager feedback report when there remains no extension possibility iaw this
procedure. The Accountable Manager has an ultimate responsibility for resourcing the
corrective action and ensuring through the QA Manger that the corrective action has re-
established compliance with the standard required by Authorities and any additional
requirements defined by the Company. These cases are transferred to the Accountable
Manager responsibility with transfer proofs produced and recorded in the system.
The audit reports are considered as technical records and managed iaw MOE 2.14 Technical
Records Control procedure.
Management Review Board (as referred in Level A Continuous Improvement Cycle in MOE
3.01) is established in order to let management posts involve directly in the Quality System
which is also headed by the Accountable Manager. The Management Review Board
continuously oversees Quality System to assure consistency and harmony between

3.4 Certifying Staff and Support Staff Qualification and Training Procedures
This procedure covers the process of qualification and training of the personnel who intends
to be authorized as CS and/or SS under the Scope of Work defined in MOE 1.09.
3.4.2 Definitions
Aircraft type rated staff qualified iaw this procedure to release the aircraft base maintenance.
Aircraft type rated staff qualified iaw this procedure to support the aircraft base maintenance
CS.
(d) Component CS
Component maintenance qualified iaw this procedure to release the component maintenance.
(e) NDT CS
NDT qualified staff as iaw this procedure to release the NDT inspection.
The qualification requirements (basic license, aircraft ratings, recent experience and
continuation training) are identical for CS and SS in base maintenance. The only difference is
that support staff cannot hold certification privileges when performing this role since during
base maintenance the release to service will be issued by category C CS.
The organisation may use as SS (for base maintenance) persons who already hold
certification privileges for line maintenance when satisfied this procedure.
The qualification requirements of NDT CS do not include any aircraft maintenance license;
however include being qualified as an NDT Inspector iaw MOE 3.11 and subsequent
procedures.
Trainings plan for CS and SS is managed by the TD in coordination with the VP Technical,
Line, Base and Shops Maintenance Managers and QA Manager.
As a general rule, maintenance training organisations (MTO) where the aircraft type trainings
taken from are approved iaw EASA Part 147. However, Appendix IV to Part-145 (and
consequently UG.CAO.00006.001) offers the possibility to assess the equivalency of trainings
and examinations performed by non-EASA MTO. Therefore it is possible to authorize such
MOE
staff having received their aircraft type trainings from non-EASA MTO. Such trainings are
assessed iaw Check list 2 of para 7.7 of EASA UG.CAO.00006-001 document.

The Company issues a certification authorisation to CS and SS with a validity period and a
clearly defined scope in relation to the limitations as follows. These limitations are recorded in
the CS or SS authorization document and in records refined in MOE 3.05, Certifying Staff and
Support Staff Records procedure.
The license validity is under the responsibility and control of the Training Department.
QA manager may need to confirm such fact with the competent authority that issued the
license.
The Company ensures that all CS and SS are involved in at least 6 months of actual relevant
aircraft or component maintenance experience in any consecutive 2 year period.
For aircraft maintenance, this may be replaced by meeting the provision for the issue of the
appropriate privileges as described in EASA Part 66.A.20(b)2. This experience may include
exercising the privileges of a certification authorization and carrying out maintenance. For this
purpose it is ascertained that the authorization holder used his privileges for at least 6 months
in the past 24 months proven either by:

Releasing aircraft to service.
The company ensures that all CS ad SS receive sufficient continuation training (CT) in each
two year period to ensure that such staff have up-to-date knowledge of relevant technology,
organisation procedures and human factor issues which means it is one part of ensuring
quality.
CTs are managed by Training Department (TD) nominated instructors who forwards
feedbacks of trainees captured during training sessions to Quality System.
5. FTS,
6. EWIS,
7. Other issues as required.
Duration of a CT session generally changes three to five days depending on the trainees
needs. TD keeps all training records in order to manage a “CT Program” iaw this procedure,
including trainings versus all CS and SS among all other staff listed. This CT Program
requires all CTs recorded, attendants appropriately certificated and these records transferred
to QA Manager for keeping records iaw MOE 3.05.
The Company assesses the competence of CS and SS to carry out their intended duties iaw
MOE 3.14 prior to the issue or re-issue of a certification authorisation under this EASA Part
145.
Competence limitations may include (but not limited to), any competence time and conditions
limitations as determined by the competence assessment system defined in MOE 3.14.
A CS or SS, with a positive proof, must able to read, write and communicate to an
understandable level in English language (used within the maintenance environment including
knowledge of common aeronautical terms) in which the technical documentation and
procedures necessary to support the issue of the CRS are written.
1. Read; and understand the instructions and technical manuals used for the
performance of maintenance
2. Make written technical entries and any maintenance documentation entries, which
can be understood by those with whom they are normally required to communicate;
3. Read and understand the maintenance organisation procedures;
4. Communicate at such a level as to prevent any misunderstanding when exercising
certification privileges.
In all cases, the level of understanding must be compatible with the level of certification
authorizations given.
In order to satisfy all above mentioned requirements, the Company seeks an English
proficiency level as in Table 1.
English language skills limitations may include, any limitations noted in the authorization
halder’s language skills assessment records, including time restrictions, level restrictions,
read/write/communicate/understand capabilities etc. Refer to MOE 3.14 for details.

operation is performed by the Engine Run-up Authorization Holder in last two years.
This is controlled from the records in holder’s technician log book and/or Wings
System software performance records.
(a) General
Satisfying qualification conditions in MOE 3.07 and in MOE 3.08, qualified inspectors or
mechanics may be authorized for specific tasks or group of tasks without certification
MOE
privileges. The authorization process is literally the same both for qualified inspectors in this
section and qualified mechanics referred in MOE 3.08.
For the applicants found eligible, an authorisation certificate is issued together with a sign off
proof that would help ensure keeping tasks accountabilities under control. The type of tasks
on which personnel is authorised is written on the authorisation certificate. Refer to Table 1.
A list of Qualified Mechanics and Inspectors are maintained by Quality Manager. It is updated
accordingly to expose the actual authorization status.

ceased employment with the Company or after withdrawal of the authorisation by the
Company.
MOE
Mechanics are technical staff who does not necessarily authorised to release aircraft or
components and can only carry out tasks for which they are authorised. A Qualified Mechanic
is authorized to perform the trained tasks on the aircraft / aircraft component.
Authorization process for mechanics is literally same with the inspectors, therefore a shared
process is defined for both inspectors and mechanics qualified iaw MOE 3.07 and MOE 3.08
respectively. Refer to TPM-KAL 3.8 “Qualified Mechanic Authorization” procedure for details.
MOE
Should the Company consider the need for exemption from any maintenance task, it will
submit a case to the customer/operator or when required EASA for approval prior to its
introduction. Justification for such exemption will be under the control and administration of
the QA Manager who will, in the event of an exemption request, ensure that such exemption
is formulated and published. QA Manager transmits all the information to the
customer/operator. Customer/operator grants an approval by its Authority to exempt from the
task, if required. Approval letter of customer or the authority (if required) is attached to CRS.
See also MOE 2.16.10 for incomplete maintenance and non-conformities cases.
MOE
This chapter describes the procedures followed by the company in order to deviate from the
MOE procedures.
Under no circumstances this chapter may be used to deviate from regulatory requirements.

MOE
This procedure is on the role of outside teams acting in the premises of the Company to carry
out a maintenance task on an aircraft, engine, or equipment in the scope of a task under the
responsibility of the Company.
Works exceeding the Company capability defined in MOE 1.09 or under warranty or requires
special know-how, skill and staff may be performed (likely repairs after incident/accident) by
the approved organizations or manufacturer.
3.12.2 Training
Whenever such Manufacturer or other Maintenance Working Team work as contracted, the
personnel of this team is trained on this procedure, i.e. MOE 3.12.
When internal maintenance data is used and the Company prepared job cards (task card,
engineering order, etc.) are followed, the filling instructions are brought into attention of the
working team.
(a) The organizations with EASA approval have the authority to perform work on the
maintained articles when they asked to release to service the article.
(b) Non-certificated persons may also be hired when release will be performed by the
Company CS. A non-certificated person, in this context, is a body (person, company, team,
etc.) without EASA approval. In this case;
1. The non-certificated person follows a quality system equivalent to the system followed
by the Company;
2. The company remains directly in charge of the work performed by the non-certificated
person; and
3. The Company verifies, by test and/or inspection, that the work has been performed
satisfactorily by the non-certificated person and that the article is airworthy before
approving it for release to service.
3.12.4 Control
Used material, tools, equipment and staff should meet the requirements iaw used approved
maintenance data.
The day to day control of the ongoing work is done ultimately by the Maintenance Manager
using the methods such as daily meetings, communication means including reports,
examination of job cards progress, etc.

of the performing staff and quality audit the work.
MOE
The Company EHS rules are applied when such a working team takes a part in the Company
premises.
When working team of an organization with EASA approval certifies a work it performed, it
means the certificate’s scope is limited to the work performed by this maintenance team. Final
certification of the article is made by the Company CS iaw MOE 2.16.
When non-certificated persons worked on an article, he signs of the step of work performed.
This means the sign off scope is limited to the step of work performed by this person. Final
certification of the article is made by the Company CS iaw MOE 2.16.
