(b) ‘certifying staff’ means personnel responsible for the release of an aircraft or a component after maintenance;
(c) ‘component’ means any engine, propeller, part or appliance;
(d) ‘continuing airworthiness’ means all of the processes ensuring that, at any time in its operating life, the aircraft complies with the airworthiness requirements in force and is in a condition for safe operation;
(e) ‘large aircraft’ means an aircraft, classified as an aeroplane with a maximum take-off mass of more than 5700 kg, or a multi-engined helicopter;
(f) ‘maintenance’ means any one or combination of overhaul, repair, inspection, replacement, modification or defect rectification of an aircraft or component, with the exception of pre-flight inspection;
(g) ‘organisation’ means a natural person, a legal person or part of a legal person. Such an organisation may be established at more than one location whether or not within the territory of India;
(h) ‘Pre-flight inspection’ means the inspection carried out before flight to ensure that the aircraft is fit for the intended flight.
(i) For the purpose of this CAR “Light Aircraft” means the following aircrafts
      i an aeroplane, sailplane or powered sailplane with a Maximum Takeoff Mass (MTOM) less than 1000 kg that is not classified as complex motor-powered aircraft;
     ii a balloon with a maximum design lifting gas or hot air volume of not more than 3400 m3 for hot air balloons, 1050 m3 for gas balloons, 300 m3 for tethered gas balloons;
    iii an airship designed for not more than two occupants and a maximum design lifting gas or hot air volume of not more than 2500 m3 for hot air airships and 1000 m3 for gas airships

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....
