CAR M 710(b) The airworthiness review staff of the approved continuing airworthiness management organisation shall carry out a physical survey of the aircraft. For this survey, airworthiness review staff not appropriately qualified to issue a CAR M Subpart H or CAR 145 CRS as appropriate for the type, for any work that may be carried out, shall be assisted by such qualified personnel.

CAR M Amendment


CAR M 716(a) and (b) Level One (1): A significant non-compliance with CAR M regulations, which could jeopardize overall safety and require immediate corrective action. An organisations approval Certificate may be provisionally suspended in whole or in part depending upon the extent of the Level 1 finding until corrective action has been taken. Level Two (2): Non-compliance with CAR M regulations or continuing airworthiness management organisation procedures, which may lower the Organisations operation, maintenance and safety () standard, which require corrective action and compliance within a period not exceeding thirty (30) days of first notification (inspectors shall use their discretion in setting the time frame)

CAR M Amendment


Appendix 1 to AMC to CAR M 302 1.1.21 Operators and continuing airworthiness management organisations are required to develop procedures to comply with maintenance requirements for cockpit voice recorders (CVR) and (digital) flight data recorders FDR(DFDR): CVR Each 6 m, confirm proper recording of each audio channel

and bulk erase inhibit logic FDR/DFDR - Each 3,000 fh/12 m, download and analyse at least a

whole flight recording. Check all mandatory parameters are active and are of acceptable quality and

FDR/DFDR - Pre-Flight: check for no-failure

CAR M Amendment


Appendix 1 to AMC to CAR M 302 1.1.22 Annual inspections should be included as follows: FDR/DFDR A complete flight from the FDR(DFDR) should be

examined in engineering units to evaluate the validity of all recorded parameters. Particular attention should be given to parameters from sensors dedicated to the FDR(DFDR)

The read-out facility should have the necessary software to accurately convert the recorded values to engineering units and to determine the status of discrete signals.

An annual examination of the CVR recorded signals should be carried out, preferably from in-flight recordings, to ensure intelligibility standards are met

CAR M Amendment


Appendix 1 to AMC to CAR M 302 1.1.23 Calibration of the FDR(DFDR) system should be included in the AMP The FDR(DFDR) system should be re-calibrated at least every five

years to determine any discrepancies in the engineering conversion routines for the mandatory parameters ( CAR-OPS 1.715 or CAR-OPS 3.715 ), and to ensure that parameters are being recorded within the calibration tolerances

1.1.24 Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition Procedures must include arrangements for rectifying defects

noted during readout checks and to control rectification in accordance with the MEL

CAR M Amendment


Guidance Material for CAR M has been produced in line with the earlier CAR 145 GM. The content is as follows: Issuance, renewal and change of a CAR M approval for

organisations located within the UAE Issuance, renewal and change of a CAR M approval for

organisations located outside the UAE Technical Log System Approval Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Product Audit Operator Ramp Audit Guidance on dating the Airworthiness Review Certificate

CAR M Guidance Material


Sections A to F: Issuance, renewal and change of a CAR M approval for organisations located within/outside the UAE Includes a new Subpart G Approval Recommendation Report (AWF-ARC-003) This report will support any recommendation made by an Inspector and will

provide a robust record of the basis for any approval being granted, renewed or changed

A separate recommendation will be made for each transaction




Section H: Technical Log Approval Procedures Covers the 5 Sections of the Technical Log required by M.306 Includes additional parameters that might need to be recorded

and tracked for certain aircraft or certain types of operation Procedures for approval of the technical log, including control of

the amendment status of each of the 5 Sections Also has some basic information on the approval of Electronic

Technical Logs



Section I: Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Product Audit

Product audit of the Subpart G process An ACAP audit is a Deep Cut sample of airworthiness It is a method of establishing fleet or individual aircraft condition As a product audit it also allows the GCAA to assess CAR M

airworthiness management and CAR 145 competence Can be used as credit towards the CAR M compliance audit

programme



Section I: Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Product Audit 13 Key Risk Elements identified as being critical to the continuing

airworthiness of aircraft, split into 3 categories Each ACAP audit will include an aircraft verification survey

Aircraft Configuration Type design and changes Airworthiness Limitations Airworthiness Directives Aircraft Operation Aircraft Documents Flight Manual Mass and Balance

Markings and Placards Operational Equipment Defect Management Aircraft Maintenance Aircraft Maintenance Programme Component Control Repairs Records



Section I: Aircraft Continuing Airworthiness Product Audit These KREs and their detailed components should be adapted to the complexity of the aircraft type

being surveyed by retaining only those items that are applicable and relevant for the particular aircraft type.

The KREs define the scope of continuing airworthiness. The list of KREs is intended to provide the basis for planning and control of the ACAP audit programme. It will ensure that the programme covers all aspects of continuing airworthiness. While it is not required to cover all KREs during a given inspection, the ACAP audit programme needs to ensure that there is no omission, i.e. that certain KRE are never inspected.

procedures with regard to Independent Inspection in accordance with CAR M (CAR M 402).


Findings Categorization CAR 145.95 introduces re-definition of the finding and addition of Level 3. The major change in the current revision is that the non compliance is not limited to CAR 145 compliance only, but it has been widen to include non compliance to the Civil Aviation Law, GCAAs regulations, the organisations certification requirements/conditions, terms of license or evidence of a system failure.

Maintenance Programme Optimisation


CAR M.302 Aircraft Maintenance programme CAR M 302(d)

The aircraft maintenance programme must establish compliance with: (iii) additional or alternative instructions proposed by the owner or the continuing airworthiness management organisation once approved in accordance with CAR M.302, except for intervals of safety related tasks referred in paragraph (e), which may be escalated, subject to sufficient reviews carried out in accordance with paragraph (g) and only when subject to direct approval in accordance with CAR M.302(b).



CAR M.302 Aircraft Maintenance programme AMC CAR M 302(d)3

Where an aircraft type has been subjected to the MRB report process, an operator should normally develop the initial operators aircraft maintenance programme based upon the MRB report.

AMC CAR M 302(d)5 This does not prevent the approved aircraft maintenance programme from being developed in the light of service experience to beyond the MRB report recommendations but will show the relationship to such recommendations.



CAR M.302 Aircraft Maintenance programme Alternate and/or additional instructions to those defined in

paragraphs CAR M.302(d)(i) and (ii), proposed by the owner or the operator, may include but are not limited to the following: Escalation of the interval for certain tasks based on reliability data

or other supporting information. Appendix I recommends that the maintenance programme contains the corresponding escalation procedures. The escalation of these tasks is directly approved by the Authority, except in the case of ALIs (Airworthiness Limitations).

More restrictive intervals than those proposed by the TC holder as a result of the reliability data or because of a more stringent operational environment.



IP 44 IMRBPB Evolution/Optimisation Guidelines International Maintenance Review Board Policy Board

Industry developed and agreed guidelines for manufacturers to use when looking to escalate (typically) their MRB/MPD task intervals

The OEMs MRB Industry Steering Committee (ISC) use these guidelines to develop the Policy and Procedures Handbook (PPH) used for each evolution process.

The OEM will present an escalation target to the ISC who will establish how data will be gathered and considered, how findings will be weighed, and what the minimum data size will be to be validate each task to be considered.



Operator Maintenance Programme Optimisation Operators need to demonstrate effective review of TC/STC Holder

data. MPD / AMM Chapter 5 and ICA maintenance requirement changes need to be reviewed by the operator to ensure that: ALI, CMR, Life Limited Item etc Interval reductions are adopted Other reductions must be adopted unless the operators

reliability data can support interval retention Task interval escalations are reviewed against reliability data to

ensure the operators operating experience supports the increase The operator should also assess the change for compatibility with

fleet utilisation and operating pattern to ensure that maintenance planning penalties will not be incurred



Operator Maintenance Programme Optimisation Operators must have a full and mature reliability programme in place Operators of large transport aircraft need to be active participants in

the OEM MRB process The OEM must be enlisted to support any operator escalation

activity The escalation process should be based upon the latest IP 44 IMRBPB

Evolution/Optimisation Guidelines The GCAA must be involved in the process from the earliest meetings

to ensure they have agreed the format and scope of the escalation process



Operator Maintenance Programme Optimisation The operator must be able to provide sufficient fleet reliability data

relating specifically to their own operations The maintenance programme amendment proposal must include

rules for transitioning the fleet onto the new programme intervals GCAA approval of any changes proposed as a result of the

optimisation process must be obtained Each task amended as part of the optimisation programme must be

properly identified within the maintenance programme
