The work package is based on Computerized Aircraft Maintenance Programs, Master Servicing
Manuals (MSM)and Aircraft Maintenance Manuals (AMM) of respective aircrafts/helicopters.
A work package is a compilation of task cards. A work package consists of the following documents: -
 Task Cards.
 Certificate of Release to Service (CRS).

A task card/work card includes description of a maintenance task prepared from original documentation


(AMM, AMP etc.). CEs will ensure that all pages of the work package have a serial number and work package
details. The total number of pages, are depicted and signed on the Maintenance Check Index Sheet. It is the
responsibility of Chief Engineers (CEs) to ensure that task cards, generated by web-enabled system, include
all assigned maintenance tasks and that are to be used by engineers during maintenance activities.

2.13.1 Concept and Update of the Template


CEs check and control the updating of maintenance data which is either achieved by a written
confirmation from the OEM that all such maintenance data is up to date or work orders specifying the
amendment status of the maintenance data to be used. Provision of required relevant documents
(including AMM, AMP etc.), to aircraft engineers during maintenance is ensured by CEs.

2.13.2 Scope and Responsibility


Maintenance personnel have the responsibility of compliance at the time they are performing maintenance
activities to ensure all airworthiness requirements are met.
CE ensures the availability of required tools and materials prior to assigning the task(s) to the aircraft
engineer. GMQA is responsible for ensuring that all required scheduled/unscheduled maintenance, as per
work package(s), is accomplished and certified, and all documentation is returned to TRO, who keeps the
record for a period of 3 years. All maintenance performed must refer to approved data and shall be
recorded on tech log or work sheets. TRO is responsible for ensuring that completed work package(s) are
stored in technical library and that Airframe, Engine, APU log books have been updated, accordingly.

b. CE reviews the work pack pertaining to the check for spares/hangar requirements on a soft copy.
c. If inspection has to be undertaken at Islamabad station then (I/C) Store House (Karachi) dispatches the
spares through courier to Store Section (Islamabad) after verbal approval from CE.
d. The acceptance of stores at Store Sec would follow Store Procedures. In case of non-availability of parts at
Store House relevant demand and acceptance procedures outlined in Store Procedures (Store House) will
come into effect.
e. PIA Authorities will be approached for allocation of hangar space at Islamabad or Karachi whatever the
case may be. If space cannot be provided on the specified dates then check shall be scheduled earlier
when space can be availed.
f. The work flow is initiated by generation of work packs three days before the check by Chief Engineer.
The tracking sheets maintained by the Technical control offices point to the forthcoming inspections/
checks based upon which work pack is issued duly signed and stamped by CEs.
g. In the event of an unscheduled maintenance, the AME/pilot will report the problem to CE verbally. CE
will arrange the required man-power, tools/equipment/spares/expendable to rectify it. At this point, the
aircraft would be grounded until the problems are repaired and the aircraft is deemed to be airworthy by
the technician. A log entry is executed after every unscheduled maintenance and CRS issued by CE.
h. When an unscheduled maintenance arises at a location other than main base, and if the fault lies beyond
maintenance scope, CE will arrange a mobile repair team at site, after due authorization by GMQA.

2.13.3.4 Sequence of Maintenance Activities

a) When the tasks are carried out by only one competent person, a second competent person will
re-inspect the completed work, on both systems and subsequently attest to its satisfactory
completion with no deficiencies. To facilitate this additional stage, a stamp is utilized marking
both work instructions, and both additional stages are signed by a competent person,
independent of the work which was carried out.
b) When only one person is available to carry out these tasks, such as when working away from
base, then the work card or worksheet shall include an additional stage for re-inspection of the
work by this person after completion of the task. This is recorded in documents.
c) Where possible during scheduling, those stages will be appropriately staggered to allow for
events to determine their independence.

2.23.3 Duplicate Inspection


The procedure outlined in this section is applied following initial assembly or any disturbance of
a vital point or control system as prescribed below.

2.23.3.1 Applicability
Work cards are generated and are processed through CEs. In case of critical/duplicate
inspections, CE endorses this on card.

2.23.3.2 Limitation
It may not be possible to inspect the complete vital point/control system when assembled in the
aircraft due to routing the controls through conduits or boxed-in sections and the per-sealing of
various units. In these cases, the persons, certifying the duplicate inspection shall be satisfied that a
duplicate inspection has been made previously on these units and covered section and that the
sealed units are acceptable for the particular use. Such tests as are considered necessary shall be
completed to determine that these particular units and sections have full, free and correct
directional movement.

2.23.3.3 Duplicate Inspection Procedures


a. A duplicate inspection for correct assembly and locking of all vital points/control systems, in the
aircraft is made of those points which have actually been disconnected or disturbed, after assemble
and before the first flight after installation, repair, replacement, modification or adjustment.
b. Dependent on the extent of the work it may be possible to limit the duplicate inspection of a control
system to that part of the system which has been disturbed however that system as a whole should be
inspected for full and free movement over the completed range and sense of travel.
c. Vital points/control systems, subject to duplicate inspection must not be disturbed or re-adjusted
after the first certified inspection and the second part of the duplicate inspection is carried out
within 8 hours.
d. If a vital points/control system, is disturbed after completion of the duplicate inspection, that part
which has been disturbed shall again be inspected in duplicate before the aircraft flies, and an
additional record of the re-inspection stage is made.
e. In some circumstances, due to peculiarities of assembly or accessibility, it may be necessary for
both parts of the inspection to be made simultaneously.
f. The duplicate inspection is the final operation to establish the integrity of the vital point/control
system, when all the work has been completed.

g. The inspections prescribed in this part for control systems shall include an inspection to ensure
that full, free and correct movement of the controls is obtained throughout the systems relative to
the movements of the crew controls.
h. An additional inspection is made, when all covers and bearings are finally secured, to ensure that
full, free and correct movement of the controls is obtained.

2.23.3.4 List of Items Requiring Duplicate Inspection


Generic list of items requiring duplicate inspections, if they are in any way disturbed, replaced,
removed or refitted, is attached as Annex-1 (Part 5.6.1). If a duplicate inspection is required to
be carried out as per technical data used, or by a requirement of the authority under which the
maintenance is accomplished, or by the operator, then the requirement shall be met regardless
if the item appears on this listing.

Note: List placed at Paragraph 5.6.1 of MOE has been prepared using available data. This is continuously
evaluated by GM QA, as a result of error investigation, Audit, SBs/ADs analysis and directives received
from PCAA.

2.23.3.5 Persons competent to make the First and or/ Second parts of a Duplicate inspection are as follows:

a. The holder of valid PCAA license for the relevant qualification group and aircraft type being
maintained, as per the qualification requirements for certifying staff outlined in procedure
ANO-0009 and validation on PCAA of appropriate category. Also holding PJ Authorization.
b. The person responsible for the release of the work (who actually carried out or directly
supervised the work) signs the first portion of the Duplicate inspection as “1 st Inspector” and
the independent signs the second portion “2 nd Inspector “, within 8 hours, provided he is not
involved and is independent from the task accomplishment.

2.23.4 Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL)

CEs ensure that when carrying out modifications, repairs or maintenance, Critical Design Configuration
Control Limitation are not compromised. By utilizing the guidance provided by the Type Certificate
holder for CDCCL items, PJ identifies those items from the planning stage where possible for awareness to
the personnel working on or within those critical systems. CEs will mark each of the relevant task cards
taken from CAMP/Eurocopter website at the start of work. This is to be done in bold letters and in RED.
As CDCCL items are considered as Airworthiness Limitation Items, any scheduled or unscheduled task
carried out to an applicable fuel system feature classified as CDCCL, is appropriately marked to verify that
the original system integrity has been retained
and the correct configuration is therefore maintained and ensure. This will be accomplished by boldly
marking the task card as “CDCCL TASK”, in RED.
