1.1.2 RESPONSIBILITY CASR/FAR 121.363 Responsibility for Airworthiness

(a) Each certificate holder is primarily responsible for— (1) The airworthiness of its aircraft, including airframes, aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, and parts thereof; and (2) The performance of the maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration of its aircraft, including airframes,

aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, emergency equipment, and parts thereof, in accordance with its manual and the regulations of this chapter.

(b) A certificate holder may make arrangements with another person for the performance of any maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations. However, this does not relieve the certificate holder of the responsibility specified in paragraph (a) of this section.

1.1.3 REQUIREMENT

CASR/FAR 121.365 Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, and Alteration Organization (a) Each certificate holder that performs any of its maintenance (other than required inspections), preventive maintenance, or

alterations, and each person with whom it arranges for the performance of that work must have an organization adequate to perform the work.

(b) Each certificate holder that performs any inspection required by its manual in accordance with section 121.369(l)(9) (in this subpart referred to as “required inspections”) and each person with whom it arranges for the performance of that work must have an organization adequate to perform that work.

(c) Each person performing required inspections in addition to other maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration, shall organize the performance of those functions so as to separate the required inspection functions from the other maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration functions. The separation shall be below the level of administrative control at which overall responsibility for the required inspection functions and other maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations functions are exercised.

CASR/FAR 121.367 Maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations programs. (a) Each certificate holder shall have an inspections program and a program covering other maintenance, preventive

maintenance, and alterations that ensures that- (1) Maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations performed by it, or by other persons, are performed in

accordance with the certificate holder's manual; (2) Competent personnel and adequate facilities and equipment are provided for the proper performance of

maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations; and (3) Each aircraft released to service is airworthy and has been properly maintained for operation under this Part.

(b) Inspection program and a program covering other maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations required by this section shall be developed by considering the human factor principles.

1.1.4 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

(1) FAR 43.13 requires maintenance to be done using methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator. These are normally set forth in the manufacturer's maintenance manuals; however, some may be found in AC's published by the FAA.

(2) FAR 43.13 requires the use of the tools, equipment, and test apparatus necessary to assure completion of the work in accordance with accepted industry practices. This means that the proper tools and test apparatus must be used. Normally these are listed as part of any FAA-approved manufacturer's maintenance literature.

3) FAR 43.13 also requires that any special equipment recommended by the manufacturer or its equivalent must be used in a manner acceptable to the Administrator. This provision is more directly applicable to maintain than preventive maintenance. However, it may come into play. Therefore, owners and pilots should be aware of it.




Page : 7 of 26


(4) Additionally, Section 43.13 requires that the work performed and the materials used are to be such as to ensure that, when the work is finished, the item worked on is at least equal to its original condition. Caution must be exercised because some functions which appear to be simple tasks may, in fact, be quite complicated. Care should be taken to ensure that the manufacturer's instructions are understood, the function is within the individual's capability, within the definition of preventive maintenance, and that it is listed in paragraph (c) of Appendix A of Part 43.
