  4. CAUTION • Your AMO may have a different way of complying. This is okay!

  5. MPM vs MCM • MPM deals with how maintenance is done • MCM deals with what maintenance is done and when

  6. QUICK REVIEW • CAR 573 • STANDARD 573

  7. MPM • All AMO’s require it • The contract with TC on how you will maintain compliance with the applicable regulations • Home of all policies (MPM) • This is what you will be judged on. • Usually easiest to find errors. Why?

  8. MPM • Can be combined with other manuals • Recommend you do not. Why?

  9. MPM • Documents Incorporated by Reference • DIR • Usually procedures • Can be capabilities list • Very useful for anything that can be changed regularly

  10. MPM Insert LEP from DIR

  11. AMO TYPES • Non Specialized • Aircraft and their component parts • Example Fast Air Ltd.

  12. AMO TYPES • Specialized • Radio – Prairie Helicopters • Auto Flight – MB Aero • Instrument – Midwest Avionics • Engine – Aero Recip • Propeller – Prop Works • Structures Wooden – Portage Aircraft Maintenance

  13. AMO TYPES • Structures Sheet Metal – Missinippi Air • Structures Tubular – Adventure Air • Structures Composite - ACS • Component – Custom Helicoters • Welding – Cadorath Aerospace • NDT - Perimeter

  14. TRAINING • INITIAL • UPDATE • ADDITIONAL

  15. TRAINING • New AMO Update Training must be carried out within three years • Regulation specific on “minimum” required • Regulation allows for “continuous” training program provided your QA program supports it • Remember intent of Regulation when choosing which to use

  16. TRAINING • Additional Training • Used to address audit findings etc, change in regulation or some non compliance

  17. TRAINING • Record everything you do training on • Place in file and provide trainee with copy • Must be kept for minimum of two years after they leave

  18. TRAINING • ACA Training must be completed and documented prior to issue • M1 aircraft suggest developing simple exam that covers all systems. • Determine how to record review of capability of AME to receive ACA • Hint put it in a DIR

  19. TRAINING • SCA Training • Can be used by Specialized or Unspecialized AMO’s • Training must meet intent of the regulation for the work and authorization sought

  20. MAINT ARRANGEMENTS • Who decides what gets fixed?

  21. MAINT ARRANGEMENTS • Work cannot proceed until owner tells you what to do • Owner tells you what documents to use • This is usually found in the MSA • Defects found during maintenance are controlled by the owner

  22. PARTS • AC 571-01-024 Documentation Required for the Installation for Parts onto Canadian Registered Aircraft • Issued recently • As an AME you need to read this document • Supports your MPM and is detailed

  23. TECHNICAL RECORDS • AMO required to keep copies of virtually everything for two years • Check your MPM for what you need to keep. • Minimum, maintenance release but can become quite large depending on what work was done

  24. QUALITY ASSURANCE • The purpose of QA is to ensure compliance with the Regulation • It is not something that someone else does • You, are the first link in Quality Assurance • Applies to all aspects of the AMO

  25. QUALITY ASSURANCE • Best way is to build a system that has a question for every line of the applicable Regulations and Standards • Remember, you will have two types of questions • One for your manuals • One for are you doing it

  26. QUALITY ASSURANCE • (3) For the purposes of this Section, where an AMO has a maintenance arrangement for the performance of work with an organization other than an AMO, "direct supervision" means that the person from the AMO tasked with certifying the work personally ensures compliance with Section 571.11 of the CARs.

  27. QUALITY ASSURANCE • This is the first place TC will look • Keep it simple • If possible have someone who is not involved with your organization be the auditor • Please cooperate with the Auditor. A good auditor will save you time and money • Findings can become additional training

  28. SMS • Applicable to AMO’s who support 705 operations • See your MPM if this is applicable

  30. THANK YOU
