D4. USING PARTS FROM THE AIRCRAFT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT/INCIDENT

D4.1 When an aircraft has been involved in an accident, some items may be totally unaffected
by the accident or incident which caused the aircraft to be declared as salvage, it is essential to
obtain clear evidence that this is the case. If such evidence cannot be obtained, the item shall
not be returned to service.
D4.2 The organization’s Quality Head shall ensure that the component is sent to shop along
with complete inspection report containing adequate knowledge of the circumstances of the
accident, subsequent storage and transport conditions, and with evidence of previous
operational history obtained from records. Comments of the manufacturers are vital before
starting an overhaul or certification activities in such cases. Approval from Airworthiness
Directorate is also mandatory before proceeding overhaul/ issuance of PCAA Form 1 or
equivalent process.
D4.3 The Quality Head shall take utmost importance to establish that the item is neither
cracked, distorted nor overheated. The degree of distortion may be difficult to assess if the
precise original dimensions are not known, in such case the item shall be rejected.
D4.4 Such components shall only be issued with a PCAA Form 1 or equivalent when
processed in accordance with above requirements and a specific work order including all
additional necessary tests and inspections required after the accident or incident. Such a work
order may require input from the TC holder or original manufacturer as appropriate. Intimation
to local airworthiness field office is required before using such part.
D5. DISPOSAL OF SCRAPPED PARTS

D5.1 Those responsible for the disposal of scrapped aircraft parts and materials must consider
the possibility of such parts and materials being misrepresented and sold as serviceable at a
later date. Caution must be exercised to ensure that the following types of parts and materials
are disposed off in a controlled manner (the parts must be physically mutilated so as it cannot
be used) that does not allow them to be returned to service:
D5.1.1 Parts with non-repairable defects, whether visible or not to the naked eye;
D5.1.2 Parts that are not within the specifications set forth by the approved design, and
cannot be brought into conformity with applicable specifications;
D5.1.3 Parts and materials for which further processing or rework cannot make them
eligible for certification under an approved system;
D5.1.4 Parts subjected to unacceptable modifications or rework that is irreversible;
D5.1.5 Life-limited parts that have reached or exceeded their life limits, or have
permanently missing or incomplete records;
D5.1.6 Parts that cannot be returned to an airworthy condition due to exposure to
extreme forces or heat;
D5.1.7 Principal structural elements removed from a high-cycle aircraft for which
conformity cannot be accomplished by complying with the mandatory
requirements applicable to ageing aircraft.
D5.2 Scrapped parts must always be segregated from serviceable parts and when eventually
disposed-off must be mutilated or clearly and permanently marked. This shall be accomplished
in such a manner that the parts become unusable for their original intended use and unable to
be re-worked or camouflaged to provide the appearance of being serviceable.
D5.3 The procedure for disposal of scrapped parts shall be detailed in organization’s
exposition manual i.e. CAME/ MCM as applicable. In cases where an Aircraft Maintenance
Organization (AMO) is the proprietor of scrapped parts, such procedures shall then be defined
in MOE/MOM.

 USAGE OF PARTS FROM OTHER AIRCRAFT &
DISPOSAL OF SCRAPPED PARTS

D5.4 When scrapped parts are disposed-off for legitimate non-flight uses, such as training and
education aids, research and development, or for non-aviation applications, mutilation is often
not appropriate. In such cases, the parts must be permanently marked indicating that they are
not serviceable/training purpose only; additionally where applicable, the original part number or
data plate information must be removed and a record must be kept of the disposition of the
parts.
D5.5 Scrapping of parts and materials may not be appropriate in certain cases when there is
an ongoing evaluation process to determine whether a part or material may be restored to an
airworthy condition. Examples of these cases include the extension of life limits, the re-
establishment of in-service history records, or the approval of new repair methods and
technologies. In these cases, such parts must be segregated from serviceable parts until the
decision has been made as to whether these parts can be restored to an airworthy condition, or
be scrapped.
