QUALITY CONTROL/ASSURANCE SYSTEM-INSPECTION ORGANISATION

10.1

General

10.1.1 Aircraft cannot be released to service following scheduled or unscheduled maintenance

unless certifications are made by appropriately licensed and approved personnel and that
the tasks have been completed satisfactorily and in accordance with the procedures
described in the maintenance procedures manual of the organisation. There are three
generally accepted methods of meeting this requirement:
(a)

Licensed personnel either shall complete the task, or are responsible for its
completion, and issue the necessary certification;

(b)

The staff of a production department shall complete the task, with a separate
inspection department responsible for the necessary certification; or

(c)

The staff of the production department shall complete the task to approved quality
control standards and also issues the necessary certification, while a separate
quality assurance department performs sample audits to determine that the
approved procedures are being adhered to and that the final product is satisfactory
and desire standard of airworthiness is being achieved and initiate corrective action
when deficiencies become apparent.

10.1.2 It is not uncommon to find various combinations of (a), (b) and (c) in organisations. Of
the three methods described above, (c) is considered to be the optimum for the present
generation of large transport aircraft.
10.1.3 The maintenance organisation shall ensure good maintenance practices and compliance
with requirements of Maintenance Procedures Manual approved by the Chairman and
compliance with CAR 84 and this order, either establishing an independent quality
assurance system to monitor compliance with and adequacy of the procedures, or by
providing a system of inspection to ensure that all maintenance are properly performed.
______________________________________________________________________________
Issue-4
18 August 2011
Page 10

ANO C.2
_______________________________________________________________________________
10.1.4 In recognition of the key importance of this activity in continuing airworthiness, it is
essential that the organisation shall appoint in accordance with the ANO (AW) B.7, a
qualified person as the manager (head) of the quality department, who shall have direct
access to the CEO of the organisation on all issues related to quality control and
assurance.
10.1.5 The maintenance organisations systems for quality control and assurance should take into
account all of the facilities and procedures utilized to ensure continuing airworthiness,
where activities take place affecting the airworthiness of the aircraft and product quality
for subjects not directly related to airworthiness. Quality control should therefore be
effective throughout the maintenance of aircraft and quality auditing should ensure that
control is being properly applied and achieving satisfactory results.
10.2

Procedures and personnel qualifications

10.2.1 The quality control policies, structure and systems should be described in the manual,
together with the quality assurance audit programme in respect of product, facility,
procedures and authority of the Quality Control/Assurance department. Staff assigned to
quality control and assurance duties should be:
(a)

Aircraft Maintenance Engineers holding appropriate company approval and who

are trained on the particular types of aircraft or components to which the approval
relates shall be included in the inspection staff.

(b)

Sufficiently experienced in the company systems and procedures and

technically knowledgeable of the aircraft being maintained so as to enable
them to perform their duties satisfactorily;

(c)

Experienced in the techniques of quality control and assurance or receive

suitable training before taking up their duties; and

(d)

Given clearly defined terms of reference and responsibility within the

organization and reporting lines to senior management.

Note: This is particularly important where quality assurance personnel are also expected to
perform other duties in the organization, e.g. to issue maintenance releases after the
completion of base maintenance.
10.2.2 The department responsible for quality control and assurance should arrange for
independent quality audit checks to be carried out in accordance with the audit
programme. Emphasis should be placed on the company systems employed to
achieve and ensure airworthiness, their suitability and effectiveness.
10.2.3 All quality checks should be recorded and assessed and any criticisms forwarded to
the person responsible for the particular facility or procedure for corrective action.
There should be a feedback system for confirming to the quality assurance staff that
corrective action has been taken and to ensure that persons concerned with any audit
deficiency are made aware of both the adverse report and the outcome.
10.2.4 No system of quality management is complete without an element of quality assurance.
This provides, through an independent audit system, the necessary feedback to the
management of the approved organisation to ensure that:
(a)

Through product sampling, the requirements of the customer, including those

related to airworthiness, are being satisfied;

______________________________________________________________________________

10.3

An organisation, who does not elect to establish an independent quality assurance system,
shall show that she has made provision for all work to be inspected and certified by
persons holding appropriately rated Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licenses and an
appropriate company approval.
