------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAR has 11 sections:
General
Airworthiness
Air transport
Aerodrome STD’s and Licensing
Air safety
Design STD’s and type certification
Flight crew STD’s ; training and licensing
Aircraft operations
Air space and air traffic management
Aviation environmental protection
Safe transport of dangerous goods.
• The real essence of aviation is having an aircraft
ready to fly when somebody wants to go
somewhere! The pilots are supposed to be available
all time, but what about the aero plane?
• To ensure the aero plane availability , the machine is
subjected to a very stringent airworthiness
requirements.
• After all, the most important aspect of good
maintenance is safe operations!
 MAINTENANCE MISSION

• The mission of the maintenance department is

to provide airworthy aircraft available when
needed, after careful inspection, maintenance
repair and certification to ensure safe
operation and reliability.

 CIVIL AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS
• Every Indian registered aircraft is required to possess a
current and valid certificate of airworthiness(C of A) before it
is flown, unless it is flown for the purpose of test for renewal
of C of A in the vicinity of departing aerodrome.
• It is the responsibility of the owner/operator of an aircraft to
ensure that his a/c has a current C of A and the same is kept
valid by maintaining and operating it as stipulated by DGCA
and the manufacturer of the aero plane.
• In case the owner and the operator of an aircraft are not the
same party and the owner has leased his a/c to an operator;
then it shall be the operators responsibility to ensure the
same.
• For maintaining the aircraft in airworthy condition, it shall be
necessary to subject the aircraft and its components to:

1) periodical inspections as approved by DGCA

2) replace lifted components at intervals approved by the
DGCA
3) carryout repair/ modifications as required by DGCA

The frequency, scope and content of periodical inspections shall

be altered, except in the manner as approved by DGCA.
 SCOPE OF SUPERVISION BY AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTORATE
• Technical officers of Airworthiness Directorate will
monitor the airworthiness standards(stipulated by
DGCA) , observed by owners/operators, through the
medium of spot checks and investigation of defects
reported to them.
• Technical officers of this directorate may require
owners/operators to submit their aircraft/ its
components and / or associated documents for
inspection at a pre-determined stage to ensure
compliance with prescribed airworthiness standards.
• The airworthiness directorate issues the CAR
(section 2)under the authority of the Aircraft Rule
1937, which specify various airworthiness
requirements/ standards for civil aircraft registered in
India.
• Section 2 of CAR is issued under the provision of
Rule 133 A of the Aircraft Rule 1937.
• The promulgation and implementation of CAR
is to meet:
• The duties and obligations of a contracting
state under the Chicago Convention
• Harmonization of requirements with the rules
and regulations of other regulatory authorities
such as FAA/JAA etc….
 CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION
• Rule 5 of the Aircraft Rules 1937 requires that no
person shall fly or assist in flying any aircraft unless:
It has been registered
It bears its nationality and registration markings
and the name and address of the owner affixed or
printed thereon in accordance with Rule 37 or in case
of the a/c registered elsewhere than in India, in
accordance with the regulations of the state in which it
is registered. Rule 30 of the Aircraft Rule empowers the
DGCA to register an a/c in India.
 PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT

• An aircraft may be registered in either of the following two

categories:
Category A – where the aircraft is wholly owned either- by
citizen of India
by a company or corporation registered and
having its principal place of business within India
by the central govt or any state govt
by a company or corporation registered
elsewhere than in India, provided that such company has
given the said a/c on lease to any person mentioned above.
• Category B – where the a/c is wholly owned either
by persons resident in or carrying on business
in India, who are not citizens of India,
by a company registered elsewhere than in
India and carrying on business in India.
 The owner/authorized representative may apply
for regn. of the aircraft in the prescribed form
(CA-28) with the following documents:
1) Customs clearance certificate/bill of entry of the
aircraft
2) Certificate of de-registration from the previous
registering authority
3) An evidence to the effect that the aircraft has
been purchased or wholly owned by the
applicant.
4) In case the aircraft is owned by a company, a document
of registration of the company and the names, address &
nationality of directors.
5) A copy of the import license
6) Fee for registration as prescribed in para 12 of CAR
Session II.
Upon regn:, a certificate of regn shall be
issued to the owner, which will be valid from
the date of regn till the date indicated on the
certificate for the leased aircraft.
 TYPES OF MANUALS
TYPE SERVICE MANUAL
FLIGHT MANUAL
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL
WEIGHT & BALANCE RECORD
 MODIFICATIONS
• MINOR – A minor modification shall be one
which has no appreciable effect on the weight
and balance, structural strength, reliability,
interchangeability, operational characteristics
or other characteristics affecting the
airworthiness of the component/item of
equipment.
• MAJOR – Shall be one not classified as minor
modification.
 TYPE CERTIFICATION

• Aircraft rule 49 empowers the DGCA to issue type certificate

to aircraft and its engine/propellers manufactured in India
and also revalidate the type certificate issued to aircraft by
foreign airworthiness authorities.

• Normally the type certificate is issued / revalidated to

aircraft/engine when the same is to be manufactured in
India. The procedure relating to the issue/ revalidation of type
certificate is mentioned in IRCRAFT Rule 49.
 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF TYPE
CERTIFICATE

• For the issuance of type certificate of aircraft/components,

the DGCA should be satisfied on the following points:
• The design has to been approved by the DGCA
• The design confirms to approved airworthiness requirements/
specifications of foreign airworthiness authorities and
acceptable to DGCA
• The construction has been inspected and approved by the
airworthiness directorate of the DGCA as required IN CAR
SERIES ‘E’.
• The DGCA has the responsibility to ensure that each
aircraft, either manufactured in India or imported to
India for which COA is to be issued, confirms to the
type design and is in condition for safe operation.
Therefore, for issuance of Indian Certificate of
Airworthiness, as aircraft must be type certified by
DGCA in accordance with Rule 49 or the type
certificate issued by Foreign airworthiness authority
be acceptable to DGCA.
• For this purpose, the DGCA has to be satisfied that the aircraft
manufactured or imported meet the approved airworthiness
standards, in respect of design, method of construction,
equipment and performance.
• In this connection, the design code followed by USA (FAR 23
&25) and European Airworthiness Consortium (BCAR 23 & JAR
25) are generally acceptable for light and transport aircraft.
For rotorcraft, airworthiness code followed by USA is FAR 27 &
29.
• For aero engines, airworthiness code is FAR 33 by USA.
• It is essential that manufacturers of aircraft consult
the DGCA prior to commencement of manufacturing
to ensure that the design of aircraft or its
engine/propeller he intends to manufacture
conforms to approved airworthiness code of FAR or
JAR or to that design code approved by the DGCA.
• For this purpose, the applicant shall furnish the
design record, duly approved by the chief designer to
prove that the design complies with the relevant
specifications and airworthiness requirements
prescribed by the DGCA.

 CLASSIFICATION OF AIRCRAFT
NORMAL CATEGORY:
• PASSENGER AIRCRAFT
• MAIL AIRCRAFT
• GOODS AIRCRAFT
• AERIAL WORK AIRCRAFT
• PRIVATE AIRCRAFT
SPECIAL CATEGORY:
RACING AIRCRAFT
RESEARCH OR EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT
AEROBATIC CATEGORY
 MMEL
• MMEL – MASTER MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST
• In aviation, a MMEL is a categorized list of systems,
instruments and equipment on an aero plane which
are not required to be operative for flight. Specific
procedures or conditions may be associated with
operation with the relevant item inoperative.
• Any equipment or system which is not included in
the MMEL must be operative for the aircraft to be
allowed to fly. Each aircraft model generally has a
distinct MMEL.
 MEL – Minimum Equipment list
• While the MMEL is for an aircraft type, the MEL is
tailored to the operator's specific aircraft and
operating environment and may be dependent
upon the route structure, geographic location, and
number of airports where spares and maintenance
capability are available etc. The MMEL cannot
address these individual variables, nor standard
terms such as "As required by Regulations". It is
for these reasons that a MMEL cannot be approved
for use as a MEL. It falls on the operator to develop
Operations "O" and Maintenance "M" procedures.
 PURPOSE OF MEL
• The MEL is a joint operations and maintenance document
prepared for or by an operator to:
• a) identify the minimum equipment and conditions for an
aircraft to maintain the Certificate of Airworthiness in force
and to meet the operating rules for the type of operation;
• b) define operational procedures necessary to maintain
the required level of safety and to deal with inoperative
equipment; and
• c) define maintenance procedures necessary to maintain the
required level of safety and procedures necessary to secure
any inoperative equipment.
MEL Intent
Except as authorized by the Director General under the
rules, operation of an aircraft with aircraft equipment
inoperative or removed is prohibited unless an operator does
so in compliance with an approved MEL.
MEL Limitation
The content of an operator's approved MEL cannot be less
restrictive than the content of the source MMEL for that
aircraft type.
 APPLICABILITY OF MEL
a) CAR Section II stipulates that the Director General may approve a MEL
for each type of aircraft, in accordance with the MMEL/MEL Policy and
Procedures Manual. Where a source MMEL has been accepted, the Director
General shall approve a minimum equipment list in respect of each operator of
that type of aircraft, provided that the requirements set out in the MMEL/MEL
Policy and Procedures Manual are met.
b) CAR SECTION II stipulates that a MEL is mandatory for aircraft registered
and used in (Insert country) for commercial purposes in commuter and airline
categories.
c) CAR SECTION II states that where a MEL has been approved with respect
to the operator of an aircraft, no person shall conduct a takeoff in that aircraft
with equipment that is unserviceable or removed unless the aircraft is operated
in accordance with the conditions or limitations specified in the minimum
equipment list. The one exception specified recognizes the superiority of an
Airworthiness Directive (AD) over the conditions or limitations specified in the
MEL.
• MMEL Acquisition

• Approved MMELs may be acquired from the

foreign Civil Aviation Authority. Alternatively,
operators may obtain MMELs directly from
the manufacturer, who normally provide MMELs
along with a revision service. It is the
responsibility of the operator to provide a
complete set of source MMEL documents to
the COUNTRY and also ensure a proper revision
service.
 CERTIFICATE OF FLIGHT RELEASE

• A certificate issued in respect of a complete

aircraft by appropriately licensed AME/AME’s ,
approved or authorized persons certifying that
the aircraft has been inspected as per
approved schedule and is airworthy in all
respects and is safe for flight for the period
specified in the certificate.
 CERTIFICATE OF MAINTENANCE

• A certificate issued in respect of an

aircraft/aircraft component/item of
equipment by appropriately licensed
AME/approved persons after carrying out
servicing modifications, repair, replacement,
overhaul, process treatments, tests,
operations, and inspections certifying that the
work has been performed in accordance with
the airworthiness requirements stipulated by
DGCA.

 SPECIAL FLIGHT/FERRY FLIGHT

• A ferry flight is a non-revenue flight for the purpose of

returning an aircraft to base, positioning an empty aircraft or
moving an aircraft to/from a maintenance base for repair,
overall, or other work. It is also known as dead heading!

FERRY PERMIT:
• Ferry permit is a permission granted by the DGCA to fly an
aircraft that may not meet current applicable airworthiness
requirements, but is capable of undertaking safe flight.
 PURPOSE
• Defects and damages may be encountered during operation
of an aircraft for which repair facilities may not exist at en-
route stations. At times work required by a mandatory
modifications/inspection and Airworthiness Directives be to
be performed for which it is essential for the aircraft to be
dispatched to base. In certain other conditions, evacuation of
aircraft or persons from, areas of impending danger may be
required. There may be occasions where the aircraft have to
be flown for experimental or test flights including production
test flights without valid C of A. In the above circumstances,
special flight/ ferry flight may be authorized if the aircraft is
otherwise safe to conduct the intended flight.
• Note: Special Flight Permit is not required in case of test flight of an
aircraft for the purpose of renewal of C of A where the C of A has expired
provided a certificate for fitness of flight has been issued by qualified
AMEs after appropriate maintenance checks and tests. Such test flight
may be carried out in accordance with CAR Sec-2, Series ‘T’ Part II.
• A special flight/ferry flight permit may be issued by Regional/Sub-
Regional Airworthiness Office to an aircraft when Certificate of
Airworthiness has been suspended or deemed to be suspended or has
become invalid. Such aircraft may not currently meet applicable
airworthiness requirements but is capable of performing safe flight for
the following purposes:
• i) Ferry fly to a base without fare paying passengers onboard where
repair, modification and maintenance are to be performed to remove the
suspension of the C of A.
• ii) Test flying a production aircraft.
• iii) Evacuation of aircraft or persons from areas of impending danger.
• iv) Flight for special purposes.

 CONFIGURATION DEVIATION LIST (CDL)

• A CDL is a list established by the organization responsible for

the type design with the approval of the state of design which
identifies any external parts of an aircraft type which may be
missing at the commencement of a flight, and which contains,
where necessary any information on associated operating
limitations and performance correction. (ICAO
Annex:6/OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT)

• A CDL is usually prepared by the aircraft manufacturer and is

part of the AFM( aero plane flight manual).

• The CDL should not be confused with MEL.

 HUMAN FACTORS
• IS IT ADVANTAGEOUS TO HAVE AN AVIATION
MAINTENANCE TECHNICIANS (AMT) IN A FLIGHT
DEPT?
• Not only this person is able to comply with required
inspection and maintenance procedures for the
aircraft, but he/she is able to ensure that the aircraft
is kept in top condition and that maintenance
services are available when needed.
 GUIDELINES FOR FINDING A GOOD AMT?
