Line maintenance
Line maintenance means any maintenance that is carried out before flight to ensure
that the aircraft is fit for the intended flight. It may include:
trouble shooting;
defect rectification;
component replacement with the use of external test equipment, if required. Component replacement may include components such as engines and propellers;
scheduled maintenance and/or checks including visual inspections that will detect
obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies but do not require extensive indepth
inspection. It may also include internal structure, systems and powerplant
items which are visible through quick opening access panels/doors;
minor repairs and modifications which do not require extensive disassembly and
can be accomplished by simple means;
for temporary or occasional cases (Airworthiness Directives, hereinafter AD; service bulletins, hereinafter SB) the quality manager may accept base maintenance
tasks to be performed by a line maintenance organisation provided all requirements
are fulfilled. The DGCA will prescribe the conditions under which these tasks
may be performed.
