CHAPTER 9

SURVEILLANCE / AUDIT OF APPROVED ORGANIZATION

1. Introduction

1.1 DGCA has approved a number of organizations under various categories under Rule 133B. These organizations are engaged in design, manufacture, maintenance, Continuing airworthiness Management, testing, fuel storage and distribution, and training. It is DGCA’s responsibility that these organizations, once approved, continue to function in compliance with the approval standards and are not allowed to degrade from their initial level of approval. To fulfil this responsibility, surveillance/audit of approved organizations is required to be carried out by RAO/SROs at least once in a year to assure that aviation licence, certificate, authorisation and/or approval holders continue to meet the established requirements.

a) Surveillance is a planned inspection of an approved facility or part thereof, carried out at regular intervals by the Airworthiness offices, to ensure adherence to the laid down requirements by approved organizations for continued approval of DGCA. All the area of approved CAR 145/ CARM / CAR 147 organisations shall be covered with in a period of two years. By definition, Surveillance is the monitoring of behaviour. Systems surveillance is the process of monitoring the behaviour of people, objects or processes within systems, for conformity to expected or desired norms. Although the word surveillance in French literally means "watching over", the term is often used for all forms of observation or monitoring. The word surveillance is commonly used to describe observation from a distance. It is the examination and testing of systems including sampling of products, and gathering of evidence, data, information and intelligence. The planned inspections should include station facility, base facility and operator’s manuals. The various checklists to be used by the officers while carrying out the surveillance of operators are available in Appendix A.

b) Surveillance of Foreign Repair Organisation including Line Stations is a planned inspection of an approved foreign maintenance facility/ line stations, carried out at regular intervals of 3 years by the Airworthiness representatives, to ensure adherence to the laid down requirements by approved foreign maintenance repair organizations / line stations for continued approval of DGCA. DAW, Hqrs shall prepare the plan for such inspection and nominate Airworthiness representatives to carry out the inspection, subsequently duly filled checklist (CAR-145) along with recommendation report on CA Form-6 to be submitted to DGCA Hqrs for renewal of AMO. Surveillance of accepted foreign AMOs /line stations shall be carried out once in two years.

c) Spot Checks : Apart from scheduled Surveillance checks & Regulatory Audits, it is also decided to carry out the spot checks. Spot checks are unplanned checks and will be carried out to verify the effectivity of internal audit system of any organisation and ensuring the continued compliance of previous DGCA audit/ surveillance findings. Spot Checks are product inspections carried out through random checks to observe processes, and/or inspect aircraft, documents, and records. Spot Checks are designed to gather information on particular facets of the aviation industry and are usually carried out independently of an audit. If a spot check is likely to take more than half a day, then a special audit may be more appropriate. Compliance of surveillance finding may be verified during spot checks.

d) Ramp Checks : Ramp checks are planned product inspections carried out to inspect aircraft at ramp during schedule operation to verify the compliance of laid down regulation during operation of schedule airlines. At least one ramp inspection per type of aircraft per operator shall be carried out quarterly. This inspection may be carried out jointly with FSD representatives. In case, only an airworthiness


PART II


June, 2018 Page 2 of 256

representative is inspecting the aircraft, then only items related to airworthiness shall be checked and remaining may be crossed.

e) Aircraft Continued Airworthiness Monitoring (ACAM): An ACAM in-depth Survey is a sample inspection of

the key risk elements (KREs) and should be performed during scheduled/extensive maintenance of an aircraft. Chapter-3E of this manual provides guidance on KREs that can be used for planning and/or analysis of the inspections. Check list for physical survey of aircraft may be supplemented along with ACAM Checklist, if considered necessary.

1.2. Regulatory Audits

Besides the surveillance, regulatory audits will be carried out during the year with an aim to

ascertain the internal control of any organization in its activities and to ensure compliance of

regulatory requirements. DGCA has issued manual of regulatory audit which provides comprehensive

instruction and procedures for the conduct of regulatory audit by the officers and is made available in

DGCA website.

1.3 SOFA Inspection

Under Article 16 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, States are entitled to search aircraft from other States on landing and departure and to inspect the certificates and other documents. Further, paragraph 4.2.2.2 of ICAO Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft, Part I — International Commercial Air Transport — Aeroplanes) also requires that States shall establish a programme with procedures for the surveillance of operations in their territory by a foreign operator and for taking appropriate action when necessary to preserve safety . The SOFA inspections will be carried out jointly by the Airworthiness officers and FSD representatives. The procedure for inspection and post inspection activities are to be followed as per the detailed in CAP 8500.

1.4 Night Surveillance Checks

The purpose of Night Surveillance is to ensure that operators do not compromise to any procedures, deployment of necessary manpower, release of aircraft without proper defect rectification, extend MELs due to absence of managerial supervision at night or any other reason. The random inspections shall include station facility, base facility and operator’s manuals. A standard checklist as per Surveillance procedure Manual for the night surveillance may be used as a guideline by Airworthiness Officers while carrying out night surveillance. The various checklists to be used by the officers while carrying out the surveillance of operators are available in Appendix A.

1.5 Surveillance of OJT and procedure for issuance of recommendation of AME licence shall be carried out as per the prescribed check lists.

2. Procedure

The process of surveillance will consist of the following elements: - Planning - Preparation - Conduct


PART II



- Reporting - Finalization - Follow-up Monitoring and improvement

2.1 Planning (i) It is desired that all the aviation activities of the approved organization are subjected to surveillance

inspection at least once a year. A comprehensive surveillance programme has been prepared with inputs from all RO/SROs. It has been attempted that all areas of a manufacture, maintenance, continuing airworthiness Management, fuel storage and distribution, and training organization CAR 145 approved maintenance organization are covered by surveillance. Officers Airworthiness Directorate are required to keep a note of their assignments and ensure that the assignments are fully discharged.

(ii) Regional/Sub-regional offices shall prepare an organization-wise calendar of surveillance activity and

provide the same to DGCA Headquarters well before end of the year for preparation of DGCA annual surveillance program for the forthcoming year. The annual surveillance program will be published in the DGCA website. The objective of surveillance program should be providing more thrust in the risk areas of the operators identified through root cause analysis of previous surveillance findings. Areas like compliance of all requirements for continuation of EDTO approvals by operators and ACAM should also be covered in the surveillance program. The surveillance programme of the entire year may be intimated to the respective organizations with the proposed dates advising them to carry out their internal audits of the respective areas, prior to the proposed surveillance inspections.

2.2 Preparation

It is imperative that the surveillance is carried out by teams consisting of at least two members, the senior being the team leader as per the annual surveillance plan. Due to certain exigency, deviation from the annual surveillance program may be permitted by head of the office and the reason to be reflected in the monthly surveillance report. The teams may comprise of DDAW and ADAW/ AWO or ADAW and AWO. Contracted consultants may be used as member of Audit team in place of regular officer.

(i) The team should start preparing for the surveillance activity a few days in advance. The following should

be studied: - Internal audit report of the concerned activity; - Relevant regulation or other applicable standards; - Company Expositions and other departmental manuals;

- Approved documents like Maintenance Programme, MEL, Technical log etc. as required; - All maintenance data

- Previous surveillance findings and action taken information. This maybe in the form of completed/closed audit finding forms or file correspondence.

- Customized checklist etc.

(ii) The QCM/QM/Post holders or one representative of the approved organisation familiar with the area being surveyed be associated with the inspection. This is done to enable the organization to provide any clarifications on the spot and to ensure that the findings are immediately known to the organization.

(iii) During the preparation stage, the Lead Auditor and the Auditors should determine the depth of

sampling required to verify each system. For example where history indicates that an Organization has adequate systems, a small sampling may be sufficient to confirm that the situation has not changed.


PART II



Where history indicates recurring problems with a system, a greater level of sampling would be appropriate.

2.3 Conduct of Surveillance

(i). The surveillance should be objective, without any bias, with a view to detect any weakness and deficiency in the practice and procedure followed by the organisation in the light of the requirements laid down by DGCA/ manufacturer and should be used as a tool for enhancing airworthiness/ safety standards.

(ii). Prior to commencement of the surveillance, a briefing meeting beheld, explaining the purpose and

scope of the surveillance. Open issues of the previous audits, organization’s internal audit findings and corrective actions may also be discussed during the briefing.

(iii). Inspections will sample the organization’s activities. Investigation should be to a depth that will

enable a judgment to be made on the ability of the organization’s systems to deliver a safe and compliant outcome. The method to follow is to determine how well the organisation accomplishes the process being assessed. To do this, the team should seek to ascertain whether or not the organization’s processes are:

- Managed by a suitable and qualified person and department; - Supported by policies and procedures (written or informal) that are sufficiently detailed, and are

understood; - Supported by adequate infrastructure; - Compliant with legislation; - Put into practice and achieve their objectives; - Controlled; - Measured, reviewed and improved; - Interfaced effectively with other persons and departments.

(iv) As the officers are always in the public eye, they are expected to exercise good judgment and

professional behaviour at all times while on and off duty. It is imperative that all the officers be sensitive to the responsibilities and demands of their positions and be objective and impartial while performing their duties. Officers must conduct themselves while on-duty or off-duty in a manner that will not cause the public to question their reliability and trustworthiness in carrying out their responsibilities.

(v) To facilitate comprehensive surveillance / audit, a compilation of checklists covering most of the

engineering related aspects/areas of Organizations approved/ seeking approval in different Categories by DGCA have been supplied to all officers of Airworthiness Directorate. This checklist shall be used while carrying out surveillance / audit, as per the program drawn out so that the surveillance is comprehensive and meaningful. The contents of checklists are to be treated as general guidance of DGCA requiring adherence by approved organizations. The officer may use relevant regulations, approved organization policy (ies), maintenance data etc. for reference whenever check lists are found not adequate to cover activities of the organization.

(vi) Surveillance in the areas of ETOPS/EDTO should be two fold in nature

a. Continuing surveillance in the all elements of reliability control of the Aircraft and engine combination performing the ETOPS/EDTO operation so as to ensure that the fleet wise approval


PART II



granted to the operator is always upheld. Detailed guidance regarding the above are available in chapter 24B and 29.

b. Annual Surveillance with the dedicated checklist with an aim to ensure the effectiveness of continuing surveillance programme as mentioned in Para (a) above.

2.4 Collecting Evidence

Evidence is collected during the conduct of an audit with relevant information recorded in the Audit Worksheet to support the final audit findings. It should be obtained with the knowledge of the Auditee and verified for correctness and completeness. Evidence includes:

• Oral evidence – record date, time, details of conversation on Audit Worksheet; • Notes taken during an audit; • Documents sighted during the audit – reference the document and page numbers; • Copies of documents and records – verified where necessary for correctness and completeness. • Photographs (record time, date, place and photographer on worksheet); • Video recordings (record time, date, place and video operator on worksheet); and • Physical evidence such as original document, records or defective parts.

2.5 Discontinuing an Audit / Surveillance

The decision to discontinue an audit must be made by the relevant Head of the Office. However, in threatening situations, an individual Auditor may discontinue an audit. In such an event, the Lead Auditor and Head of the Office must be informed at the earliest opportunity. Events that may prevent an audit continuing include: • The safety of the audit team is at risk; • The objective of the audit becomes unattainable due to access limitations; • Hindrance, harassment or aggressive behaviour of the Auditee; • Non-availability of Auditee’s key staff; or • Enforcement action is assessed as being more appropriate to discontinuing an audit, Airworthiness

officers must draw the Auditee’s attention to the delegation of powers under Aircraft Rules 1937 read with the Government of India then Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism Notification No.: S.O. 727(E) dated the 4th October 1994.

2.6 Report Finalization

While pointing out the deficiencies, it is important to note that the relevant Regulations / Standards/Requirements /Expositions/Procedure manual/circulars should be clearly spelt out. Where deficiencies are not covered by these documents, the same may be treated as suggestion for improvement. If such deficiencies are serious in nature affecting safety/airworthiness it should be brought to the notice of Headquarters immediately for laying down the standards /requirements if necessary. However, they should be firm in their decision for upholding rules & regulations/ requirements. Surveillance records must be kept in a clear manner and provide a chronological history of surveillance activities and events.

2.7. Reporting

On completion of the surveillance, the deficiencies observed by the inspecting officers should be listed and discussed in a debriefing meeting with Accountable Manager and/or relevant Post holder(s). After final


PART II



discussion, deficiencies noticed shall be listed on Deficiency Reporting Form, which will have a unique number. For example:

[DRF/ WR/yyyy/Name of the Org. /Issue No. dated dd/mm/yy].

2.8 Deficiency Reporting Form (Form CA-2001)

For every deficiency observed, a deficiency reporting forms (DRF) will be made. If the organisation has already taken necessary rectification action to the satisfaction of Airworthiness Office before the de-briefing meeting the same need not be listed in the DRF. The findings may be classified as Level l and Level 2. For categorization of level of findings guideline given in AAC no. 2 of 2011 shall be followed.

Resolution of deficiencies observed during surveillance shall be dealt in line with guidelines as given in Enforcement Circular No. 1/2009. To ensure continued airworthiness of an operator's fleet during a strike or labour dispute or called by the personnel of an approved organization, special emphasis shall be placed on the activities of the organization. A copy of CA- 2001 is placed as Appendix- A.

2.9 Monitoring

(i) All deficiencies observed during surveillance / inspection shall be followed up and monitored for on

time receipt of compliance report with root cause analysis. (ii) The audit team leader will review the compliance action and if satisfied may close the DRF for level-

2 findings. However for level-1 findings the DRF to be closed by Head of the office after discussing the compliance action with audit team leader.

(iii) At Headquarters, a review of surveillance activities of various RO/SROs is taken by the Director General every month. In the review meeting, the surveillance activities of various offices for the previous month are discussed.

3. General

3.1 Authorization Cards for Airworthiness Officers: Authorization cards have been provided to all

officers who need to have access to any place for carrying out any functions of inspection of aircraft or documents under rule 156 of the Indian Aircraft Rules 1937. Officers are advised to carry the updated and valid card for carrying out any inspection.

3.2 In case the activities of the organization are being performed continuously round the clock due to

shortage of personnel, our officers should be deployed on shift duties for effective surveillance, as deemed necessary. It will be the responsibility of the Regional/sub-Regional office to determine the extent and locations, where additional surveillance is needed and to make necessary arrangements to depute his officers accordingly.

3.3 Under no Circumstances Airworthiness Officers shall not express opinions on strike or labour

dispute and issues involved, nor shall any such opinions be expressed in public or press.


PART II



3.4 A report shall be forwarded to Headquarters giving the extent of the operator's plan of action to comply the regulations during such contingencies. Headquarters should also be kept informed of any serious deficiencies noticed along with the details of action taken by the Regional Offices.

4 Surveillance of Leased Aircraft 4.1 Civil Aviation Requirements, Section 3, Series ‘C’ part-I lays down the criteria for leasing of aircraft

by Indian Operators. 4.2 Indian operator takes a foreign registered aircraft on lease, charter or any similar arrangement

from a person holding AOC issued by another contracting State; 4.3 Indian operator gives an Indian registered aircraft on lease to an operator outside India;

4.4 Indian operator borrows an aircraft on lease from another Indian operator, (for domestic or

international operations). 4.5 While the administrative permissions, including process for permission from Ministry of Civil

Aviation, for leasing of the aircraft is handled by the Air Transport Directorate, the Airworthiness Directorate shall carryout the surveillance of leased aircraft as long as the aircraft is operated under AOP issued by DGCA.

4.6 For leased aircraft as per para 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, the surveillance will cover airworthiness aspects in

accordance with the ramp inspection check list. The bilateral agreement under Article 83 bis of ICAO convention, if signed between the DGCA and State of Operator may also be examined to define the scope of inspection in each case.

4.7 For aircraft on leased operations as per para 4.1.2, Airworthiness officers will be deputed, at least

once in six month, for carrying out inspections of maintenance facilities where the aircraft will normally be based in the State of Operator. The CAA of the State of Operator shall be kept informed of such inspections and local CAA may also be co-opted to participate in such inspections.

5 The surveillance check lists are as follows in Appendix A.

6 Record Keeping:

All RAO/ SRAO should maintain the yearly Surveillance inspection records operator wise. This will facilitate

assessment of weak operator in a particular year and to further enhance the number of Surveillance accordingly in the next year programme. All the records for any Surveillance carried out such as completed checklist, DRF (CA- 2001) and any other supporting documents in support of closure of findings etc. should be kept together for easy reference. Yearly record for root cause analysis should be maintained identifying the weak operator and the weak areas. Surveillance and Enforcement Division (SED) of DGCA (Hqrs) should maintain Surveillance record yearly for all the Directorates of DGCA including root cause analysis.

CAR 21.148 Changes of Location



June, 2018 Page 154 of 256

AMC 21.148 Changes of location – Management during change of location

The relocation of any work, to an unapproved location, or a location with inappropriate scope of approval, constitutes a change of significance to the organisation and requires approval by DGCA as prescribed in 21.147. An unapproved relocation will invalidate the production organisation approval, and may necessitate re-application for any similar approval required at the new location. However, suitable transitional arrangements may be agreed with DGCA, in advance of the relocation, which can allow continuation of the approval.

When an organisation expands its facility to include a new production location or moves parts of its production to a new location the production organisation approval may continue in force, but the approval does not include the new location until DGCA has indicated its satisfaction with the arrangements.

For a change in location, taking an extended period of time, suitable transitional arrangements would require preparation of a co-ordination plan for the removal. The plan must, at least, identify the following:

A clearly identified person, or group of persons, responsible for co-ordinating the removal and acting as focal point for communication with all parties, including DGCA.

The basis of the co-ordination plan, e.g., whether by product or area.

Planned timing of each phase of relocation.

Arrangements for maintaining the standards of the approval up to the point where the production area is closed down.

Arrangements for verifying continued production quality upon resumption of work at the new location.

Arrangements for check and/or re-calibration of inspection aids or production tools and jigs before resuming production.



June, 2018 Page 155 of 256

Procedures which ensure that goods are not released from the new location until their associated production and quality systems have been verified.

If an agreed co-ordination plan is in operation, DGCA will normally allow the existing approval to remain in force and will, where appropriate, grant an additional approval to cover the new address for the duration of the move.

CAR 21.153 Changes to the terms of approval

An application for a change to the terms of approval shall be made in a form and manner established by DGCA.

AMC 21.153

Form CA-51 must be obtained from DGCA/ DGCA website and completed in accordance with the procedures of the POE. The information entered on the form is the minimum required by DGCA to assess the need for change of the production organization approval. The completed form and an outline of the changed production organization exposition and details of the proposed change to POA terms of approval must be forwarded to DGCA.

CAR 21.157 Investigations

A production organization shall make arrangements that allow DGCA to make any investigations, including investigations of partners and subcontractors, necessary to determine compliance and continued compliance with the applicable requirements of this Subpart.

CAR 21.158 Findings

In case of a level one finding, the holder of the production organization approval shall demonstrate corrective action to the satisfaction of DGCA within a period of 7 working days, extendable up to maximum 21 working days depending upon the complexity of the case after written confirmation of the finding.
