D7. Defects
This is an area of significant difference between Part-M and Part-ML therefore would need more detail for Part-M and potentially splitting the different aircraft groups(Part-M & Part-ML).
Until rectified, the Technical Officer will ensure that the “Live Status Record” contains details of any pilot reported and or deferred defects. The “Live Status Record “constitutes the current list of Deferred maintenance mentioned in ML.A.305.
Defects reported by the owner / operator will be assessed and arrangements made with an appropriate maintenance provider to have them rectified. A work order will be issued to cover the work accomplishment.
Where the work cannot be accomplished, or it is preferable to defer the rectification to a more convenient time (e.g. due to spares availability or operational requirements), it may be possible to defer the defect in accordance with ML.A.403 as detailed below.
The following table shows where a pilot can determine a defect does not hazard seriously flight safety and therefore defer the defect. This is produced for the Technical Office Staff to determine that the deferring person has appropriate authority. Operators procedures will also be considered where applicable. All other defects may only be deferred by Certifying Staff.
Defect / Operation Scenario
Non-required aircraft equipment
Defects deferred in accordance with the MEL
*Aircraft operated only under Part-NCO
*Balloons not operated under Subpart ADD of Part-BOP
*Sailplanes not operated under Subpart DEC of Part-SAO
*Only after agreement of this Part-CAO
Once deferred, the defect will be tracked by the Technical Office who will organise rectification within applicable limits as soon as practical. Where a questionable deferral has been made, the Chief Engineer will be consulted to establish an appropriate resolution. Where needed, steps will be taken by the Chief Engineer to safeguard the aircraft.
It will be ensured that deferred defects are made known to the owner / operator along with any associated operational or airworthiness limitations.
Defects will not be deferred in cases where they mayseriously hazard flight safety.
Where the aircraft has an applicable MEL/CDL, refer also to Section C2 of this CAE.
D9. Coordination of Maintenance Activities
Live records are considered to be those that detail open or recurrent tasks such as but not limited to status of compliance with the maintenance programme, recurrent ADs or other mandatory requirements, LLPs or component maintenance limitations, list of deferred maintenance and take the form of an excel spreadsheet. These records are used to provide a live status for managed aircraft. The information received relating to defects, maintenance performed, and utilisation is used to update the spreadsheet which produces the next due detail from which the ongoing maintenance is derived. The spreadsheet “Live Status Record” for each individual aircraft is controlled by the Technical Officeand backed up to the cloud as described in section B9.
The “Live Status Record” will be monitored by the Technical Office who at the appropriate time will request the owner / operator to present the aircraft at the required organisation on the specified date for the maintenance to be performed. In practice this will be via liaison and general communication.
When the work has been performed and the maintenance record / CRS received, the Technical Officer will check that the release has been properly executed and the work ordered has been performed. Appropriate entries will be made in the continuing airworthiness records (e.g. log book entries) and the “Live Status Record”. In all cases such entries will be made no later than 30 days after the release of the aircraft / component or within a timeframe required to maintain effective management of the aircraft, whichever is sooner.
Any difficulties will be referred to the Chief Engineer who will determine the next course of action.
