Procedure for approval of repair


  
Repair. A design change to an aeronautical product intended to restore it to an airworthy condition and to ensure that the aircraft continues to comply with the design aspects of the airworthiness requirements used for the issuance of a Type Certificate for that aircraft type after it has been damaged or subjected to wear. 

 Major repair. Any repair of an aeronautical product that might appreciably affect the structural strength, performance, powerplant, operation flight characteristics or other qualities affecting airworthiness or environmental characteristics, or that will be embodied in the product using non-standard practices. 
Minor repair. A repair other than a major repair. 
                
 Repairs covered in the Structural Repair Manual (SRM) may be carried out by Approved Maintenance Organisation as per data available in SRM without any prior approval from the DGCA. 
Repairs beyond SRM shall be carried out only after obtaining prior approval from the DGCA. 
 Application :The owner/operator shall apply to the concerned Regional Airworthiness Office (RAO) along with evidences and data relating to the intended repairs and its effect on the airworthiness of aircraft. 
                                      Owner/Operator will classify the damage as minor or major based on manufacturer’s relevant document or seek assistance from the manufacturer. 
                              Once a structural repair has been classified as major or minor, owner operator shall submit the repair scheme to the manufacturer for their review or request for repair scheme by providing the details of damage. Details forwarded may include photographs, sketches, relevant pages of maintenance data specifying the area of damage etc. for obtaining the feedback from the manufacturer. 
                      Repair scheme and approved data received from the manufacturer shall be 
forwarded to the regional Airworthiness office for obtaining approval. Copy of Repair and Deviation Record (RDR), Repair Design Approval Sheet (RDAS), as applicable shall also be attached along with the repair data along with the application for approval. 
                  Approval for repair shall be granted based on approved data received from 
organization holding Design Organization Approval by State of Design. This data shall be certified by Authorized Representatives (AR)/ Designated Engineering representatives (DER) of the State of Design of the aircraft.

Cessna 152 Magneto Check

MAGNETO CHECK. NEVER ADVANCE TIMING BEYOND SPECIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO REDUCE RPM DROP. Too much importance is being attached to RPM drop in single ignition. RPM drop on single ignition is a natural characteristic of dual ignition design. The purpose of the following magneto check is to determine that all cylinders are firing. If all cylinders are not firing, the engine will run extremely rough and cause for investigation will be quite apparent. The amount of RPM drop is not necessarily significant and will be influenced by ambient air temperature, humidity, airport altitude, etc. In fact, absence of RPM drop should be cause for suspicion that the magneto timing has been bumped up and is set in advance of the setting specified. Magneto checks should be performed on a comparative basis between individual right and left magneto performance. a. Start and run engine until the oil and cylinder head temperatures are in normal operating ranges. b. Advance engine speed to 1700 RPM. c. Tu...

Brake System Cessna 172

                             BRAKE SYSTEM -MAINTENANCE PRACTICES              1. Description and Operation A. The hydraulic brake system is comprised of two master cylinders, located immediately forward of the  pilot’s rudder pedals, brake lines and hoses, and single-disc, floating cylinder brake assemblies located at  each main landing gear wheel. B. The parking brake system is comprised of a pull-type handle and mechanical connections which are  linked to the rudder pedal assembly. Pulling aft on the brake handle applies mechanical pressure to the  rudder pedals, activating the brakes and locks the handle in place. Turning the handle 90 degrees will  release the parking brake and allow for normal operation through the rudder pedals. C. Brake operation is accomplished by pushing on the upper part of each rudder pedal. This motion i...

McCauley Propeller Installation fixed pitch

Image
Propeller Installation for all fixed pitch propellers (except 1A162 model propellers).                   WARNING: MAKE SURE THE MAGNETO IS GROUNDED BEFORE INSTALLING  THE PROPELLER OR CONNECTING EXTERNAL POWER.                NOTE: McCauley recommends that propeller mounting nuts (if applicable) be replaced at each  propeller installation, whenever possible. However, nuts may be reused providing the threads are in good condition and the locking material prevents turning of the nut on the  stud by hand. Propeller mounting bolts must be magnetic particle inspected in accordance  with ASTM E-1444 or replaced whenever the propeller is removed from the engine.                NOTE: The aircraft maintenance manual or STC installation instructions should always be  consulted for any specialized procedures applicable to a specific aircraft....
