text: on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances, and on the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks’, are hereby amended as follows: The text of the amendment is arranged to show deleted text, new text or new paragraph as shown below:

text: 3. … indicates that remaining text is unchanged in front of, or following the reflected amendment.

text: A. Decision No 2003/19/RM, Annex II (AMC to Part-145), is hereby amended as follows:

text: 1. In point AMC 145.A.30(d), the first Paragraph is replaced by the following:

text: 1. Has sufficient staff means that the organisation employs or contracts competent staff, as detailed in the man-hour plan, of which at least half the staff that perform maintenance in each workshop, hangar or flight line on any shift should be employed to ensure organisational stability. For the purpose of meeting a specific operational necessity, a temporary increase of the proportion of contracted staff may be permitted to the organisation by the competent authority, in accordance with an approved procedure which should describe the extent, specific duties, and responsibilities for ensuring adequate organisation stability. For the purpose of this subparagraph, employed means the person is directly employed as an individual by the maintenance organisation approved under Part-145, whereas contracted means the person is employed by another organisation and contracted by that organisation to the maintenance organisation approved under Part-145.

text: 2. Point AMC 145.A.30(e) is deleted and four new AMCs (AMC 1 145.A.30(e), AMC 2 145.A.30(e), AMC 3 145.A.30(e) and AMC 4 145.A.30(e)) are added:

text: AMC 1 145.A.30 (e) - Personnel requirements

text: Competence should be defined as a measurable skill or standard of performance, knowledge and understanding, taking into consideration attitude and behaviour. The referenced procedure requires amongst others that planners, mechanics, specialised services staff, supervisors, certifying staff and support staff, whether employed or contracted, are assessed for competence before unsupervised work commences and competence is controlled on a continuous basis. Competence should be assessed by evaluation of: — on-the-job performance and/or testing of knowledge by appropriately qualified personnel, and — records for basic, organisational, and/or product type and differences training, and

text: ED Decision 2011/011/R 28/11/2011

text: — experience records. Validation of the above could include a confirmation check with the organisation(s) that issued such document(s). For that purpose, experience/training may be recorded in a document such as a log book or based on the suggested template in GM 3 to 145.A.30(e). As a result of this assessment, an individual’s qualification should determine: — which level of ongoing supervision would be required or whether unsupervised work could be permitted. — whether there is a need for additional training. A record of such qualification and competence assessment should be kept. This should include copies of all documents that attest to qualification, such as the licence and/or any authorisation held, as applicable. For a proper competence assessment of its personnel, the organisation should consider that: 1. In accordance with the job function, adequate initial and recurrent training should be provided and recorded to ensure continued competence so that it is maintained throughout the duration of employment/contract. 2. All staff should be able to demonstrate knowledge of and compliance with the maintenance organisation procedures, as applicable to their duties. 3. All staff should be able to demonstrate an understanding of human factors and human performance issues in relation with their job function and be trained as per AMC 2 145.A.30 (e).

text: 4. To assist in the assessment of competence and to establish the training needs analysis, job descriptions are recommended for each job function in the organisation. Job descriptions should contain sufficient criteria to enable the required competence assessment.

text: 5. Criteria should allow the assessment to establish that, among others (titles might be different in each organisation): — Managers are able to properly manage the work output, processes, resources and priorities described in their assigned duties and responsibilities in a safe compliant manner in accordance with regulations and organisation procedures. — Planners are able to interpret maintenance requirements into maintenance tasks, and have an understanding that they have no authority to deviate from the maintenance data. — Supervisors are able to ensure that all required maintenance tasks are carried out and, where not completed or where it is evident that a particular maintenance task cannot be carried out to the maintenance data, then such problems will be reported to the 145.A.30(c) person for appropriate action. In addition, for those supervisors, who also carry out maintenance tasks, that they understand such tasks should not be undertaken when incompatible with their management responsibilities. — Mechanics are able to carry out maintenance tasks to any standard specified in the maintenance data and will notify supervisors of defects or mistakes requiring rectification to re-establish required maintenance standards. — Specialised services staff are able to carry out specialised maintenance tasks to the standard specified in the maintenance data. They should be able to communicate with supervisors and report accurately when necessary.

text: ED Decision 2011/011/R 28/11/2011

text: — Support staff are able to determine that relevant tasks or inspections have been carried out to the required standard. — Certifying staff are able to determine when the aircraft or aircraft component is ready to release to service and when it should not be released to service. — Quality audit staff are able to monitor compliance with Part-145 identifying non-compliance in an effective and timely manner so that the organisation may remain in compliance with Part-145. Competence assessment should be based upon the procedure specified in GM 2 to 145.A.30(e).

text: AMC 2 145.A.30 (e) - Personnel requirements

text: In respect to the understanding of the application of human factors and human performance issues, all maintenance organisation personnel should have received an initial and continuation human factors training. This should concern to a minimum: — Post-holders, managers, supervisors; — Certifying staff, support staff and mechanics; — Technical support personnel such as planners, engineers, technical record staff; — Quality control/assurance staff; — Specialised services staff; — Human factors staff/human factors trainers; — Store department staff, purchasing department staff; — Ground equipment operators. 1. Initial human factors training should cover all the topics of the training syllabus specified in GM 145.A.30(e) either as a dedicated course or else integrated within other training. The syllabus may be adjusted to reflect the particular nature of the organisation. The syllabus may also be adjusted to meet the particular nature of work for each function within the organisation. For example: — small organisations not working in shifts may cover in less depth subjects related to teamwork and communication; — planners may cover in more depth the scheduling and planning objective of the syllabus and in less depth the objective of developing skills for shift working. All personnel, including personnel being recruited from any other organisation should receive initial human factors training compliant with the organisation’s training standards prior to commencing actual job function, unless their competence assessment justifies that there is no need for such training. Newly directly employed personnel working under direct supervision may receive training within 6 months after joining the maintenance organisation. 2. The purpose of human factors continuation training is primarily to ensure that staff remain current in terms of human factors and also to collect feedback on human factors issues. Consideration should be given to the possibility that such training has the involvement of the quality department. There should be a procedure to ensure that feedback is formally passed from the trainers to the quality department to initiate action where necessary. Human factors continuation training should be of an appropriate duration in each two year period in relation to relevant quality audit findings and other internal/external sources of information on human errors in maintenance available to the organisation.

text: ED Decision 2011/011/R 28/11/2011 3. Human factors training may be conducted by the maintenance organisation itself, or independent trainers, or any training organisations acceptable to the competent authority. 4. The human factors training procedures should be specified in the maintenance organisation exposition.

text: AMC 3 145.A.30 (e) - Personnel requirements

text: Additional training in fuel tank safety as well as associated inspection standards and maintenance procedures should be required for maintenance organisations’ technical personnel, especially technical personnel involved in the compliance of CDCCL tasks. EASA guidance is provided for training to maintenance organisation personnel in Appendix IV to AMC to 145.A.30(e) and 145.B.10(3).

text: AMC 4 145.A.30 (e) - Personnel requirements

text: Competence assessment should include the verification for the need of additional EWIS training when relevant. EASA guidance is provided for EWIS training programme to maintenance organisation personnel in AMC 20-22.

text: 3. In point AMC 145.A.35 (f), the three paragraphs are replaced by the following:

text: As stated in 145.A.35 (f), except where any of the unforeseen cases of 145.A.30(j)(5) applies, all prospective certifying staff and support staff should be assessed for competence related to their intended duties in accordance with AMCs 1, 2, 3 and 4 to 145.A.30 (e), as applicable.

text: GM 2 145.A.30 (e) – Competence assessment procedure

text: The organisation should develop a procedure describing the process of competence assessment of personnel. The procedure should specify: — persons responsible for this process, — when the assessment should take place, — credits from previous assessments, — validation of qualification records, — means and methods for the initial assessment,

text: ED Decision 2011/011/R 28/11/2011

text: — means and methods for the continuous control of competence including feedback on personnel performance, — competences to be observed during the assessment in relation with each job function, — actions to be taken when assessment is not satisfactory, — recording of assessment results.

text: Annex II to ED Decision 2016/011/R elements: — scheduling the maintenance work ahead, to ensure that it will not adversely interfere with other work as regards the availability of all necessary personnel, tools, equipment, material, maintenance data and facilities.; — during maintenance work, organising maintenance teams and shifts and provide all necessary support to ensure the completion of maintenance without undue time pressure.

text: 3. When establishing the production planning procedure, consideration should be given to the following: — logistics, — inventory control, — square meters of accommodation, — man-hours estimation, — man-hours availability, — preparation of work, — hangar availability, — environmental conditions (access, lighting standards and cleanliness), — co-ordination with internal and external suppliers, etc., — scheduling of safety-critical critical maintenance tasks during periods when staff are likely to be most alert.’

SIGN-OFF A ‘sign-off’ is a statement issued by the ‘authorised person’ which indicates 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 a certificate of release to service.’

text: ‘AMC1 145.A.48(b) Performance of maintenance The procedure should identify the error-capturing methods, the critical maintenance tasks, the training and qualification of staff applying error-capturing methods, and how the organisation ensures that its staff is familiar with critical maintenance tasks and error-capturing methods.’ 7) AMC2 145.A.48(b) is added as follows:

text: ‘AMC2 145.A.48(b) Performance of maintenance CRITICAL MAINTENANCE TASKS

text: Annex II to ED Decision 2016/011/R (a) The procedure should ensure that the following maintenance tasks are reviewed to assess their impact on flight safety: (1) tasks that may affect the control of the aircraft flight path and attitude, such as installation, rigging and adjustments of flight controls; (2) aircraft stability control systems (autopilot, fuel transfer); (3) tasks that may affect the propulsive force of the aircraft, including installation of aircraft engines, propellers and rotors; and (4) overhaul, calibration or rigging of engines, propellers, transmissions and gearboxes. (b) The procedure should describe which data sources are used to identify critical maintenance tasks. Several data sources may be used, such as: (1) information from the design approval holder; (2) accident reports; (3) investigation and follow-up of incidents; (4) occurrence reporting; (5) flight data analysis; (6) results of audits; (7) normal operations monitoring schemes; and (8) feedback from training.’

text: 8) AMC3 145.A.48(b) is added as follows:

text: ‘AMC3 145.A.48(b) Performance of maintenance ERROR-CAPTURING METHODS (a) Error-capturing methods are those actions defined by the organisation to detect maintenance errors made when performing maintenance. (b) The organisation should ensure that the error-capturing methods are adequate for the work and the disturbance of the system. A combination of several actions (visual inspection, operational check, functional test, rigging check) may be necessary in some cases.’

text: 9) AMC4 145.A.48(b) is added as follows:

text: ‘AMC4 145.A.48(b) Performance of maintenance INDEPENDENT INSPECTION Independent inspection is one possible error-capturing method. (a) What is an independent inspection An independent inspection is an inspection performed by an ‘independent qualified person’ of a task carried out by an ‘authorised person’, taking into account that: (1) the ‘authorised person’ is the person who performs the task or supervises the task and they assume the full responsibility for the completion of the task in accordance with the applicable maintenance data;

text: Annex II to ED Decision 2016/011/R (2) the ‘independent qualified person’ is the person who performs the independent inspection and attests the satisfactory completion of the task and that no deficiencies have been found. The ‘independent qualified person’ does not issue a certificate of release to service, therefore they are not required to hold certification privileges; (3) the ‘authorised person’ issues the certificate of release to service or signs off the completion of the task after the independent inspection has been carried out satisfactorily; (4) the work card system used by the organisation should record the identification of both persons and the details of the independent inspection as necessary before the certificate of release to service or sign-off for the completion of the task is issued. (b) Qualifications of persons performing independent inspections The organisation should have procedures to demonstrate that the ‘independent qualified person’ has been trained and has gained experience in the specific inspection to be performed. The organisation could consider making use of, for example: (1) staff holding a certifying staff or support staff or sign-off authorisation or equivalent necessary to release or sign off the critical maintenance task; (2) staff holding a certifying staff or support staff or sign-off authorisation or equivalent necessary to release or sign off similar task in a product of similar category and having received specific practical training in the task to be inspected; or (3) a commander holding a limited certification authorisation in accordance with 145.A.30(j)(4) and having received adequate practical training and having enough experience in the specific task to be inspected and on how to perform independent inspection. (c) How to perform an independent inspection An independent inspection should ensure correct assembly, locking and sense of operation. When inspecting control systems that have undergone maintenance, the independent qualified person should consider the following points independently: (1) all those parts of the system that have actually been disconnected or disturbed should be inspected for correct assembly and locking; (2) the system as a whole should be inspected for full and free movement over the complete range; (3) cables should be tensioned correctly with adequate clearance at secondary stops; (4) the operation of the control system as a whole should be observed to ensure that the controls are operating in the correct sense; (5) if different control systems are interconnected so that they affect each other, all the interactions should be checked through the full range of the applicable controls; and (6) software that is part of the critical maintenance task should be checked, for example: version, compatibility with aircraft configuration. (d) What to do in unforeseen cases when only one person is available REINSPECTION: (1) Reinspection is an error-capturing method subject to the same conditions as an independent inspection is, except that the ‘authorised person’ performing the maintenance task is also acting as ‘independent qualified person’ and performs the inspection. (2) Reinspection, as an error-capturing method, should only be performed in unforeseen circumstances when only one person is available to carry out the task and perform the independent inspection. The circumstances cannot be considered unforeseen if the person or

text: Annex II to ED Decision 2016/011/R organisation has not assigned a suitable ‘independent qualified person’ to that particular line station or shift. (3) The certificate of release to service is issued after the task has been performed by the ‘authorised person’ and the reinspection has been carried out satisfactorily. The work card system used by the organisation should record the identification and the details of the reinspection before the certificate of release to service for the task is issued.’

text: 10) AMC 145.A.48(c) is added as follows:

text: ‘AMC 145.A.48(c) Performance of maintenance The procedures should be aimed at: (a) minimising multiple errors and preventing omissions. Therefore, the procedures should specify: (1) that every maintenance task is signed off only after completion; (2) how the grouping of tasks for the purpose of sign-off allows critical steps to be clearly identified; and (3) that work performed by personnel under supervision (i.e. temporary staff, trainees) is checked and signed off by an authorised person; (b) minimising the possibility of an error being repeated in identical tasks and, therefore, compromising more than one system or function. Thus, the procedures should ensure that no person is required to perform a maintenance task involving removal/installation or assembly/disassembly of several components of the same type fitted to more than one system, a failure of which could have an impact on safety, on the same aircraft or component during a particular maintenance check. However, in unforeseen circumstances when only one person is available, the organisation may make use of reinspection as described in point (d) of AMC4 145.A.48(b).’

text: 11) GM 145.A.48(c) is added as follows:

text: ‘GM 145.A.48(c) Performance of maintenance To minimise the risk of multiple errors or errors being repeated, the organisation may implement: — procedures to plan the performance by different persons of the same task in different systems; — duplicate inspection or re-inspection procedures.’

text: 12) GM 145.A.48(d) is added as follows:

text: ‘GM 145.A.48(d) Performance of maintenance — critical design configuration control limitations

text: (CDCCL)

text: The organisation should ensure that when performing maintenance the CDCCL are not compromised. The organisation should pay particular attention to possible adverse effects of any change to the wiring of the aircraft, even of a change not specifically associated with the fuel tank system. For example, it should be common practice to identify segregation of fuel gauging system wiring as a CDCCL. The organisation can prevent adverse effects associated with changes to the wiring by standardising maintenance practices through training, and not through periodic inspections. Training should be provided to avoid indiscriminate routing and splicing of wire and to provide comprehensive knowledge of critical design features of fuel tank

text: Annex II to ED Decision 2016/011/R systems that would be controlled by a CDCCL. Guidance on the training of maintenance organisation personnel is provided in Appendix IV to AMC 145.A.35.’ 13) GM 145.A.65(b)(1) is added as follows: ‘GM 145.A.65(b)(1) Safety and quality policy, maintenance procedures and quality system Appendix XI to AMC M.A.708(c) provides guidance on the elements that need to be considered for the maintenance contract between the CAMO and the maintenance organisation. The Part-145 organisation should take into account these elements to ensure that a clear contract or work order has been concluded before providing maintenance services.’

The competent authority may accept that in the case of aircraft line maintenance an organisation has only B1, B2, B2L, or B3 or L certifying staff, as appropriate, provided that the competent authority is satisfied that the scope of work, as defined in the MOEMaintenance Organisation Exposition, does not need the availability of all B1, B2 and B3 those categories of certifying staff. Special attention should be taken to clearly limit the scope of scheduled and non-scheduled line maintenance (defect rectification) to only those tasks that can be certified by the available category of certifying staff category.

text: GM1 145.A.42(a)(ii) Components

text: UNSERVICEABLE COMPONENTS (a) The organisation should ensure the proper identification of any unserviceable components. The unserviceable status of the component should be clearly declared on a tag together with the component identification data and any information that is useful to define actions that are necessary to be taken. Such information should state, as applicable, in-service times, maintenance status, preservation status, failures, defects or malfunctions reported or detected, exposure to adverse environmental conditions, and whether the component is installed on an aircraft that was involved in an accident or incident. Means should be provided to prevent unintentional separation of this tag from the component. (b) Unserviceable components should typically undergo maintenance due to: (1) expiry of the service life limit as defined in the aircraft maintenance programme; (2) non-compliance with the applicable airworthiness directives and other continuing airworthiness requirements mandated by the Agency; (3) absence of the necessary information to determine the airworthiness status or eligibility for installation; (4) evidence of defects or malfunctions; or (5) being installed on an aircraft that was involved in an incident or accident likely to affect the component’s serviceability.

text: AMC1 145.A.42(a)(iv) Components

text: STANDARD PARTS (a) Standard parts are parts that are manufactured in complete compliance with an established industry, Agency, competent authority or other government specification which includes design, manufacturing, test and acceptance criteria, and uniform identification requirements. The specification should include all the information that is necessary to produce and verify conformity of the part. It should be published so that any party may manufacture the part. Examples of specifications are National Aerospace Standards (NAS), Army-Navy Aeronautical Standard (AN), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), SAE Sematec, Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI), EN Specifications, etc. (b) To designate a part as a standard part, the TC holder may issue a standard parts manual accepted by the competent authority of the original TC holder or may make reference in the parts catalogue to the specification to be met by the standard part. Documentation that accompanies standard parts should clearly relate to the particular parts and contain a conformity statement plus both the manufacturing and supplier source. Some materials are subject to special conditions, such as storage conditions or life limitation, etc., and this should be included in the documentation and/or the material’s packaging. (c) An EASA Form 1 or equivalent is not normally issued and, therefore, none should be expected.

text: STANDARD PARTS For sailplanes and powered sailplanes, non-required instruments and/or equipment that are certified under the provision of CS 22.1301(b), if those instruments or equipment, when installed, functioning, functioning improperly or not functioning at all, do not in themselves, or by their effect upon the sailplane and its operation, constitute a safety hazard. ‘Required’ in the term ‘non-required’, as used above, means required by the applicable airworthiness code (CS 22.1303, 22.1305 and 22.1307) or required by the relevant regulations for air operations and the applicable Rules of the Air or as required by air traffic management (e.g. a transponder in certain controlled airspace). Examples of non-required equipment which can be considered to be standard parts may be electrical variometers, bank/slip indicators ball-type, total energy probes, capacity bottles (for variometers), final glide calculators, navigation computers, data logger/barograph/turnpoint camera, bugwipers and anti-collision systems. Equipment which must be approved in accordance with the airworthiness code shall comply with the applicable ETSO or equivalent and it is not considered to be a standard part (e.g. oxygen equipment).

text: AMC1 145.A.42(a)(v) Components

text: MATERIAL (a) Consumable material is any material which is only used once, such as lubricants, cements, compounds, paints, chemical dyes and sealants, etc. (b) Raw material is any material that requires further work to make it into a component part of the aircraft, such as metal, plastic, wood, fabric, etc. (c) Material both raw and consumable should only be accepted when satisfied that it is to the required specification. To be satisfied, the material and/or its packaging should be marked with the applicable specification and, where appropriate, the batch number. (d) Documentation that accompanies all materials should clearly relate to the particular material and contain a conformity statement plus both the manufacturing and supplier source. Some materials are subject to special conditions, such as storage conditions or life limitation, etc., and this should be included in the documentation and/or the material’s packaging. (e) An EASA Form 1 or equivalent should not be issued for such materials and, therefore, none should be expected. The material specification is normally identified in the (S)TC holder’s data except in the case where the Agency or the competent authority has agreed otherwise.

text: ACCEPTANCE OF COMPONENTS FOR INSTALLATION (a) The procedures for the acceptance of components, standard parts and materials should have the objective of ensuring that the components, standard parts and materials are in satisfactory condition and meet the organisation’s requirements. These procedures should be based upon incoming inspections which include: (1) physical inspection of the components, standard parts and materials; (2) review of the accompanying documentation and data, which should be acceptable in accordance with 145.A.42(a). (b) For the acceptance of components, standard parts and materials from suppliers, the above procedures should include supplier evaluation procedures.

text: 15) The following GM1 145.A.42(b)(i) is added:

text: GM1 145.A.42(b)(i) Components

text: INCOMING PHYSICAL INSPECTION (a) To ensure that components, standard parts and materials are in satisfactory condition, the organisation should perform incoming physical inspections. (b) The incoming physical inspection should be performed before the component is installed on the aircraft. (c) The following list, although not exhaustive, contains typical checks to be performed: (1) verify the general condition of the components and their packaging in relation to damages that could affect their integrity; (2) verify that the shelf life of the component has not expired; (3) verify that items are received in the appropriate package in respect of the type of the component: e.g. correct ATA 300 or electrostatic sensitive devices packaging, when necessary; (4) verify that the component has all plugs and caps appropriately installed to prevent damage or internal contamination. Care should be taken when tape is used to cover electrical connections or fluid fittings/openings because adhesive residues can insulate electrical connections and contaminate hydraulic or fuel units. (d) Items (fasteners, etc.) purchased in batches should be supplied in a package. The packaging should state the applicable specification/standard, part number, batch number, and the quantity of the items. The documentation that accompanies the material should contain the applicable specification/standard, part number, batch number, supplied quantity, and the manufacturing sources. If the material is acquired from different batches, acceptance documentation for each batch should be provided.

text: GM3 145.A.42(b)(i) Components

text: SUPPLIER EVALUATION (a) The following elements should be considered for the initial and recurrent evaluation of a supplier’s quality system to ensure that the component and/or material is supplied in satisfactory condition: (1) availability of appropriate up-to-date regulations, specifications (such as component handling/storage data) and standards; (2) standards and procedures for the training of personnel and competency assessment; (3) procedures for shelf-life control; (4) procedures for handling of electrostatic sensitive devices; (5) procedures for identifying the source from which components and materials were received; (6) purchasing procedures that identify documentation to accompany components and materials for subsequent use by approved Part-145 maintenance organisations; (7) procedures for incoming inspection of components and materials; (8) procedures for control of measuring equipment that provide for appropriate storage, usage, and for calibration when such equipment is required; (9) procedures to ensure appropriate storage conditions for components and materials that are adequate to protect the components and materials from damage and/or deterioration. Such procedures should comply with the manufacturers’ recommendations and relevant standards; (10) procedures for adequate packing and shipping of components and materials to protect them from damage and deterioration, including procedures for proper shipping of dangerous goods (e.g. ICAO and ATA specifications); (11) procedures for detecting and reporting of suspected unapproved components; (12) procedures for handling unsalvageable components in accordance with applicable regulations and standards; (13) procedures for batch splitting or redistribution of lots and handling of the related documents; (14) procedures for notifying purchasers of any components that have been shipped and have later been identified as not conforming to the applicable technical data or standard; (15) procedures for recall control to ensure that components and materials shipped can be traced and recalled if necessary; (16) procedures for monitoring the effectiveness of the quality system. (b) Suppliers which are certified to officially recognised standards that have a quality system that includes the elements specified in (a) may be acceptable; such standards include: (1) EN/AS9120 and listed in the OASIS database; (2) ASA-100; (3) EASO 2012; (4) FAA AC 00-56.

text: The use of such suppliers does not exempt the organisation from its obligations under 145.A.42 to ensure that supplied components and materials are in satisfactory condition and meet the applicable criteria of 145.A.42. (c) Supplier evaluation may depend on different factors, such as the type of component, whether or not the supplier is the manufacturer of the component, the TC holder or a maintenance organisation, or even specific circumstances such as aircraft on ground. This evaluation may be limited to a questionnaire from the Part-145 organisation to its suppliers, a desktop evaluation of the supplier’s procedures or an on-site audit, if deemed necessary.

text: INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS Components, standard parts and materials should only be installed when they are specified in the applicable maintenance data. This could include parts catalogue (IPC), service bulletins (SBs), aircraft maintenance manual (AMM), component maintenance manual (CMM) etc. So, the installation of a component, standard part or material can only be done after checking the applicable maintenance data. This check should ensure that the part number, modification status, limitations, etc., of the component, standard part or material are the ones specified in the applicable maintenance data of the particular aircraft or component (i.e. IPC, SB, AMM, CMM, etc.) where the component, standard part or material is going to be installed. The organisation should establish procedures to ensure that this check is performed before installation.

text: 19) The following AMC1 145.A.42(b)(iii) is added:

text: AMC1 145.A.42(b)(iii) Components

text: FABRICATION OF PARTS FOR INSTALLATION (a) The agreement of the competent authority on the fabrication of parts by the approved maintenance organisation should be formalised through the approval of a detailed procedure in the Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE). This AMC contains principles and conditions to be taken into account for the preparation of an acceptable procedure. (b) Fabrication, inspection, assembly and test should be clearly within the technical and procedural capability of the organisation. (c) All necessary data to fabricate the part should be approved either by the Agency or the type certificate (TC) holder, or Part 21 design organisation approval holder, or supplemental type certificate (STC) holder. (d) Items that are fabricated by an organisation approved under Part-145 may only be used by that organisation in the course of overhaul, maintenance, modifications, or repair of aircraft or components, performing work at its own facilities. The permission to fabricate does not constitute approval for manufacture, or to supply externally, and the parts do not qualify for EASA Form 1

text: certification. This prohibition also applies to the bulk transfer of surplus inventory, in that locally fabricated parts are physically segregated and excluded from any delivery certification. (e) Fabrication of parts, modification kits, etc., for onward supply and/or sale may not be conducted by an organisation that is approved under Part-145. (f) The data specified in (c) may include repair procedures that involve the fabrication of parts. Where the data on such parts is sufficient to facilitate fabrication, the parts may be fabricated by an organisation that is approved under Part-145. Care should be taken to ensure that the data include details of part numbering, dimensions, materials, processes, and any special manufacturing techniques, special raw material specification and/or incoming inspection requirement, and that the approved organisation has the necessary capability to fabricate those parts. That capability should be defined by way of exposition content. Where special processes or inspection procedures are defined in the approved data which are not available at the organisation, the organisation cannot fabricate the part unless the TC/STC holder gives an approved alternative. (g) Examples of fabrication within the scope of a Part-145 approval may include but are not limited to the following: (1) fabrication of bushes, sleeves and shims; (2) fabrication of secondary structural elements and skin panels; (3) fabrication of control cables; (4) fabrication of flexible and rigid pipes; (5) fabrication of electrical cable looms and assemblies; (6) formed or machined sheet metal panels for repairs. All the above-mentioned fabricated parts should be in accordance with the data provided in the overhaul or repair manuals, modification schemes and service bulletins, drawings, or should be otherwise approved by the competent authority. Note: It is not acceptable to fabricate any item to pattern unless an engineering drawing of the item is produced which includes any necessary fabrication process and which is acceptable to the competent authority. (h) Where a TC holder or an approved production organisation is prepared to make available complete data which is not referred to in the aircraft manuals or service bulletins but provides manufacturing drawings for items specified in parts lists, the fabrication of these items is not considered to be within the scope of an approval unless agreed otherwise by the competent authority in accordance with a procedure specified in the exposition. (i) Inspection and identification Any locally fabricated part should be subject to inspection before, separately, and preferably independently from any inspection of its installation. The inspection should establish full compliance with the relevant manufacturing data, and the part should be unambiguously identified as fit for use by stating conformity to the approved data. Adequate records should be maintained of all such fabrication processes including heat treatment and final inspections. All parts, except those that do not have enough space, should carry a part number which clearly relates it to the manufacturing/inspection data. In addition to the part’s number, the organisation’s identity should be marked on the part for traceability purposes.

text: 20) The following AMC1 145.A.42(c) is added:

text: AMC1 145.A.42(c) Components

text: SEGREGATION OF COMPONENTS (a) Unserviceable components should be identified and stored in a secure location that is under the control of the maintenance organisation until a decision is made on the future status of such components. The organisation that declared the component to be unserviceable may transfer its custody after identifying it as unserviceable to the aircraft owner provided that such transfer is reflected in the aircraft logbook, or engine logbook, or component logbook. (b) ‘Secure location under the control of an approved maintenance organisation’ refers to a secure location whose security is the responsibility of the approved maintenance organisation. This may include facilities that are established by the organisation at locations different from the main maintenance facilities. These locations should be identified in the relevant procedures of the organisation. (c) In the case of unsalvageable components, the organisation should: (1) retain such component in the secure location referred to in paragraph (b); (2) arrange for the component to be mutilated in a manner that ensures that they are beyond economic salvage or repair before disposing it; or (3) mark the component indicating that it is unsalvageable, when in agreement with the component owner, the component is disposed of for legitimate non-flight uses (such as training and education aids, research and development), or for non-aviation applications, mutilation is often not appropriate. Alternatively to marking, the original part number or data plate information can be removed or a record kept of the disposal of the components.

text: GM1 145.A.42(c)(i) Components

text: MUTILATION OF COMPONENTS (a) Mutilation should be accomplished in such a manner that the components become permanently unusable for their originally intended use. Mutilated components should not be able to be reworked or camouflaged to provide the appearance of being serviceable, such as by replating, shortening and rethreading long bolts, welding, straightening, machining, cleaning, polishing, or repainting. (b) Mutilation may be accomplished by one or a combination of the following procedures: (1) grinding; (2) burning; (3) removal of a major lug or other integral feature; (4) permanent distortion of parts; (5) cutting a hole with cutting torch or saw; (6) melting; (7) sawing into many small pieces; and (8) any other method accepted by the competent authority. (c) The following procedures are examples of mutilation that are often less successful because they may not be consistently effective: (1) stamping or vibro-etching; (2) spraying with paint; (3) small distortions, incisions, or hammer marks; (4) identification by tags or markings; (5) drilling small holes; and (6) sawing in two pieces only.
