1.2 Safety and Quality Policy


1.2.1 RTAF Safety and Quality Policy
The Royal Thai Air Force is committed to the vision of becoming “One of the Best Air
Forces in ASEAN”.
This ambition shall also reflect RTAF policy on Airworthiness and Flight Safety, which shall
be of the highest Quality Standards.
This will enable RTAF to avoid injuries and loss of life for RTAF personnel and also
damages and loss of valuable aircraft and other assets. To reach this, all RTAF officers
and personnel must comply with this policy.
In RTAF, safety is a key issue. RTAF goal for safety is the following:
• To prevent accidents and to minimize damages or injuries, RTAF will maintain an
active Safety Management System. RTAF will continuously examine our
operations for hazards and find ways to minimize them. RTAF will report incidents
and occurrences, train RTAF staff on safety management, document findings and
responses, and strive for continuous improvement.
• RTAF supports the open sharing of information on all safety issues and
encourages all officers and personnel to report safety hazards, occurrences or
deviations. This cannot be achieved unless officers and personnel feel able to
report without fear of punishment. Therefore, no disciplinary action will be taken
against any officers and personnel for reporting a safety hazard, occurrence or
concern to RTAF´s management unless the act was done wilfully or with intentional
disregard for laws or procedures.
• To ensure the compliance with RTAF standards, it is important that these are
established as policies, programs, processes and procedures within all operational
areas, and that they are considering human factors principles, and that these are
communicated to the personnel.
• RTAF urges all managers and personnel to develop role descriptions for all
positions that clearly describe responsibilities in accordance with the internal and
external requirements and expectations.
• The basic requirements shall be described in the RTAF manual system.
• Each officer or manager has responsibility for quality in their respective
departments and shall ensure that all requirements that are given in the role
descriptions, delegations and requirements from the authorities are fulfilled.
All officers and personnel shall take an active interest in safety by reading all information
produced by the safety and quality department and the management of RTAF, and that no
staff member will be asked to compromise our safety standards.
Ultimate responsibility for safety and quality in RTAF rests with myself as Commander-in-
Chief and Accountable Manager. Responsibility for making our operations and missions
safer for our own lies with each one of us - from managers through engineers to front-line
technicians and pilots.

1.2.2 Maintenance Safety and Quality Policy


To reach the RTAF mission “Providing Security and Safety for the nation” and to support
RTAF vision “One of the Best Air Forces in ASEAN” it´s crucial to implement a positive
mentality in the overall RTAF Quality System.
The objectives for the RTAF Quality System are therefore:
• Security for the nation
• Safety first, if it´s not in conflict with the nation’s security
• It is all RTAF´s personnel´s responsibility to report all matters that could endanger
flight safety and/or reliability, service and efficiency.
All reports in RTAF are to be handled with highest discretion and in non-punitive policy.
• Routines, activities and resources are to apply to the Human Factor Principle
• In order to direct the RTAF activities towards the desired quality standard.
• It is all personnel´s own responsibility to comply with the RTAF Safety and Quality
Policy, current regulations and RTAF management manuals.
• It is all personnel´s obligation to support and cooperate with auditors to ensure the
success of quality assurance.
• It is the obligation of all RTAF officers and other personnel to fulfil their duties and
to comply with the statement above.
• Furthermore all personnel must assist auditors in their work to supervise routines
and procedures to ensure Safety and Quality assurance.

1.6 Certifying staff and support staff


Certifying staff has an adequate understanding of the relevant aircraft and/or components
t o b e m a in t a in e d t o g e t h e r w it h t h e a sso c ia t e d o rg a n is a t io n p ro ce d u re s.
The Certifying staff has received training and has been successfully assessed on the
Gripen type Course or its component.
Certifying staff are able to determine when the aircraft or aircraft component is ready to
release to service and when it is not be released to service.
Certifying staff must be involved in at least 6 months of actual Gripen aircraft or its
component maintenance experience in any consecutive 2-year period.
“involved in actual relevant aircraft or component maintenance” means that the person has
worked in an aircraft or component maintenance environment and has either exercised the
privileges of the certification authorisation and/or has actually carried out maintenance on
the aircraft.
Certifying staff shall receive sufficient continuation training in each two year period to
ensure that such staffs have up-to-date knowledge of relevant technology, Organisation
procedures and human factor issues.
The content of continuation training is related to relevant quality audit findings and it is
recommended that such training is reviewed at least once in every 24 month period.
The programme for continuation training lists all certifying staff and when training will take
place, the elements of the training and an indication that it was carried out should
subsequently be transferred to the certifying staff and support staff record.
B1 and B2 staff ensures that all relevant tasks or inspections have been carried out to the
required standard before release the aircraft to service.
The category C certifying staff ensure that all works required have been accomplished
during the base maintenance check or work package, and shall also assess the impact of
any work not carried out with a view to either requiring its accomplishment or agreeing with
the operator to defer such work to another specified check or time limit.
Category A-Mechanics are able to carry out task trained maintenance or other tasks under

PART 2 Maintenance Procedures

2.1 Supplier evaluation procedures and subcontract control procedure


2.1.1 Supplier evaluation procedures
FMV is the provider for all LRU and spares in accordance with current Support Contract.
Occasionally it will be necessary to obtain the assistance of a manufacturer's or contracted
working team(s) to accomplish aircraft maintenance, repairs, inspections and modifications
because of the regular work force is not able to handle. The reason can be for example,
lack of sufficient manpower, the need for specialized staff for the task such as NDT,
Composite/structural repair, welding, painting or manufactures work teams performing
modifications in RTAF facilities.
Authority to obtain the manufacturer's or contracted assistance to accomplish work on the
RTAF aircraft may only be authorized by the Technical Director or the Manager Continuing
Airworthiness. It is System Engineering Section officer responsible to send request
assistance from FMV to supply manpower as subcontractor via E-Mail according to
Appendix 11 Template to contact Support in Sweden.
Support staff List and working condition, see Appendix 23.

2.1.2 Subcontract control procedure


The Wing 7 Aviation Safety Officer (SO) and MCA on behalf of QM are responsible for
approval the sub-contracted personnel, based on the evaluation and competence procedure
below:
• Verify that subcontracted personnel meet the competence requirement as
specified in 1.6 Certifying staff.
• Ensure that B1, B2 staff brings a valid Aircraft Maintenance License (AML) and
can display it on request.
• Ensure that B1, B2 or specialized staff has been working with maintenance at least
6 months during the last two years and that he/she has a valid Human Factors
training (HF) by requesting a valid and relevant company authorization, issued by
their organisation of origin.
The Authorize Form can be found in Appendix 25.
The Original approved authorize certificate is kept by SO. MAA will receive the copy of
approved authorize certificate via e-mail.
The MMO is main POC for the sub-contracted personnel when performing maintenance. The
MMO will give relevant training to sub-contracted personnel.
The subcontracted staff will be informed that they work under the RTAF approval and
quality system. They are responsible to follow RTAF MOE procedures and are functionally
working under the RTAF Wing 7 maintenance management as maintenance staff.
The subcontracted personnel will receive MOE training. Specific attention is given to RTAF
Occurrence Reporting (HR), maintenance data availability, work card/tally sheet task and
work sign-off procedure including critical tasks/items, handling of spare parts, equipment
and material.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 50 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

The subcontractor also needs to have RTAF Wing 7 workshop introduction about safety
and security at the workshop and wing 7, practical orientation at the workshop, introduction
to RTAF personnel and the Gripen support team.
A qualified certifying staff from RTAF has to attend (on site) while work is being performed
by the manufacturers or contracted working team.
The attending inspector/certifying staff from RTAF is responsible for sampling inspection
of the work carried out and satisfying him that all work carried out has been documented
and signed before he issues the Certificate of Release to Service.
All work carried out by the manufacturers or contracted working team must be fully
documented by the manufacturer and released in accordance to RTAF procedure.
Sub-contracting staff, each individual’s signature sample is documented on a signatory list,
or equivalent, in order to recognize the individual work sign-offs for traceability.

2.2 Receipt / inspection / acceptance of aeronautical products


To ensure that the component and/or materiel meet the requirements and has the
necessary correct documentation attached with the received components and/or material
prior to storage or installation on an aircraft, the procedure below must be followed.

2.2.1 Pre-acceptances of goods in Base store at Wing 7


All goods must be handled in its packaging as far as possible to avoid damaging. Place all
incoming goods at the appropriate place.
A visual inspection is performed when possible be carried out in carrier presence in order
to complain about any shipping damage, without opening the package.
Place the goods at the appropriate place to avoid mix up with already controlled or non-
serviceable goods. Check and note shipping documentation so pre receive can be done in
FENIX without delay.

2.2.2 Verification of goods at Base Store


2.2.2.1 Aircraft components
To ensure a component is in a satisfactory condition, all components shall be checked and
verified as followed:
• Verify the general condition of components and their packaging in relation to
damages that could affect the integrity of the components.
• Verify that the shelf life of the component has not expired.
• Verify that items are received in the appropriate package in respect of the type of
component for example electrostatic sensitive devices packaging, when
necessary.
• Verify that component has all plugs and caps appropriately installed to prevent
damage or internal contamination. Tape is not used to cover electrical connections
or fluid fittings/openings because adhesive residues can insulate electrical
connections and contaminate hydraulic or fuel units.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 51 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

• Verify that the part and serial number on the spare part is in conformity with the
certificate.
All serviceable components have an EASA Form 1 or a document equivalent to an EASA
Form 1.
The purpose of the EASA Form 1 is to release components after manufacture and to
release maintenance work carried out on such components under the approval of a
competent authority and to allow components removed from one aircraft/component to be
fitted to another aircraft/ component.
The EASA Form 1 or equivalent identifies the status of an aircraft component. Block 12
“Remarks” on the EASA Form 1 in some cases contains vital airworthiness related
information which may need appropriate and necessary actions.

2.2.2.2 Spare part and consumable


Spare part and consumable can only be accepted when satisfied that it is to the required
specification. To be satisfied, the material and or its packaging are marked with the
specification and where appropriate the batch number.
Documentation accompanying all material is clearly related to the particular material and
contains a conformity statement plus both the manufacturing and supplier source. Some
material is subject to special conditions such as storage condition or life limitation etc. and
this is included on the documentation and / or material packaging.
EASA form 1 or equivalent is not issued for Spare part and consumable and therefore none
is expected. The material specification is normally identified in the TC holder’s data except
in the case where the Agency or the competent authority has agreed otherwise.
In normal case the spare part and consumable will have the Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
attached.

2.2.3 Registration of goods


Receive inventory in FENIX. Ref. 2, RAMP-EP Routine 17.5.

Tools can be purchased from various sources, which normally deal with tools and
equipment, but also from other Maintenance Organisation or parts dealer.
Tools can also be manufactured from local sources if the supporting documentation is
available, like drawings, wire diagrams or an existing tool, which is to be copied. These
tools have to be checked in accordance to the specification given to the shop. They also
need to be identified and recorded in the tool list before they can use in the maintenance
activity.
Attention: Only approved tool according to maintenance publications can be used for
aircraft maintenance. Common tools that are not published in maintenance publications
can be acquired and meet a recognized industrial standard.

2.4.2 Tool and equipment registration


All tools and equipment are marked with a unique number / color and listed on a tool list
with a reference to the location in order to enable traceability.
Special tools are placed on a tool board where every tool is marked in order to easily check
for missing items.
The content of Toolboxes is marked with a unique number / color corresponding to
inventory list. This list is attached to the toolbox in order to enable the user to check the
content.
The MMO is responsible that all tools and equipment are recorded in a file and on hard copy.
Tools that have any kind of maintenance are followed up in the FENIX systems. They are
recorded with the following information: tool number, description, manufacture, calibration
interval, calibration performer, last calibration, next scheduled calibration and location.
Special tools, which are calibrated like torque wrenches, voltmeter and other measuring
tools, are stored in a controlled environment, in order to ensure a safe operation of the tools.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 55 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

2.5 Calibration of tools and equipment


2.5.1 Responsibility for calibration
Tools that required calibration are calibrated in accordance with the manufacture
recommendation or specified in a Mil-Standard.
These tools are marked with a clearly and lasting label that shows the next calibration due
date. The label withstands oil and grease.
GSE Maintenance Leader is responsible for planning the calibration of tools and
equipment.
GSE Maintenance Leader is also responsible for updating the calibration list and updating
the FENIX with the new data.

2.5.2 Calibration procedure


All calibrations have to be performed by an accepted supplier by RTAF. Accepted suppliers
are listed in Appendix 7 List of approved maintenance organisations.
Calibration of tools or equipment has to be documented by the calibrating supplier with a
calibration report. This report has to be filed by GSE Maintenance Leader.
The calibration reports are kept in order to review the quality and the reliability of the tools.
When tools or equipment has passed the calibration, the tool must be clearly marked with
a label stating the next calibration date.
If Tools or equipment have passed the due date, they are withdrawn from the production
line and are labeled with a red un-calibrated tag.

2.5.3 Calibration deviation


In case of AOG situation and there is a need of calibrated tools or equipment, a short
overrun, maximum of three weeks, of the calibration due date can be accepted. The use
has to be approved by the MMO. The maintenance personnel have to record the deviation
in the maintenance documentation and HR shall be issued.
If possible the installed components or equipment are rechecked when calibrated tools or
equipment are available. In order to follow up on this action, open task is created in FENIX.

2.6 Use of tooling and equipment by staff


Each person is responsible to check that tools or equipment are in good condition, quality,
and serviceability (calibrated) before use.
If tools or equipment are containing any oil or grease, it has to be verified that it contains
the correct oil or grease.
If tools are loaned from another organisation, they need to be verified that they are
approved, correctly maintained and calibrated.
Tools and equipment which requires special instruction are not used by personnel who not
have received appropriate training. Therefore, all personnel have to receive training in the
use of certain tools by an experienced person or by a training facility.
Calibrated tools must always be protected against damage and therefore are placed in an
appropriate box.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 56 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

Before a tool can leave the tool room, it must be recorded first in the tool room registration
system. Technicians order needed tools via Tool Ordering Form. The Tool room clerk
issues tools according to the Tool Ordering Form. The Tool Ordering Form is kept by the
technicians and can be shown upon request.
The tool room must be locked all the time when no Tool room clerk is in the room. Only
Tool room clerk or technicians, who are authorized by Tool room clerk can access the Tool
room.
At the end of the day or at completion of maintenance task the tool must return to the tool
room. To ensure that no tool will be lost, tools check must be performed daily or after each
task completion.
If a tool or a portion of a broken tool is discovered missing, the person identifying the
missing item/tool will search the immediate work area for the item/tool.
If not found, after completing an initial search the individual will notify the MMO. All affected
aircraft or equipment are not airworthy. The MMO immediately initiate the Lost Tool Report
and notifies the Squadron Commander and MCA to initiate a thorough search for the
item/tool.
The Squadron Commander in cooperation with MCA determine when the search for the
lost item/tool may be discontinued. The decision is reported to Base Commander for further
suggestion. If everyone agrees to stop further searching, the case can be closed.
A Lost Tool Report is completed and kept in the tool room and can be presented upon
request.

2.7 Cleanliness standards of maintenance facilities


In order to maintain a good working environment and a high standard it is the MMO
responsibility to ensure that the hangar and workshop facilities are in clean and tidy
condition. Each day the working areas are cleaned and tidied up.
Facility cleaning general
Normally brush cleaning is sufficient to clean dust and contamination from floor, shelves
and workbenches. In case of oil or other fluid spill on the floor it has to be removed and
washed with soap to ensure a non-slippery floor and spreading to the rest of the facility.
Facilities with carpet have to be vacuum cleaned.

while it is in service. It is most important that the content of the publications is correctly
updated and changed to fulfill the necessary requirements for safety, operation and
maintenance.
The Maintenance Leader is responsible for updating the change in maintenance
publication.
FMV provides new content of the publications in hard copy to RTAF.
The new content of the publications also contains the front matters that follow give data
about changes in the publication module:
• The List of Effective Data Modules (LOEDM)
• The Highlights
• The Change record.
List of effective data modules
The LOEDM helps the user to make sure that the publication contains all the applicable pages.
The LOEDM is changed and replaced after each amendment.
When a new data module is issued, the status shows the letter N (N = New). Add this data
module to the publication.
When a data module is changed, the status shows the letter C (C = Changed). Replace
this data module in the publication.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 59 (93)

Highlights
The Highlights helps the user to see the changes in the new issue of the publication,
Reason for change and updating procedure.
The Updating procedure shows all changed data modules in the publication in the order of
appearance.
The letter I (I = Insert) shows that the user must add the data module to the publication.
The letter R (R = Remove) shows that the user must remove the data module from the
publication.
Change record
The Change record helps the user to make sure that the publication is updated correctly. It
includes a list with 50 individual rows. The rows include: Row number (change number), Date
and Signature.
Incorporated changes must be recorded with the date of incorporation and a signature in the
applicable row. Thus, it is necessary that previous changes in the change record have been
recorded.
When the Change record is full, a new list is issued. The preprinted number will directly
follow the last change number from the previous Change record.
If a new version is published during maintenance the policy is to keep the version in use
(startup version) to finish the task. The new version of publication is reviewed and if the
new version has significant effect to the task, the new instruction is to be followed for
concerning task.
During waiting for publications in hard copy from FMV, the changed parts are removed
from the folder. If the new publication is needed, it must be print out from the CD Version.

2.9 Repair procedures


All defects have to be rectified in accordance with Approved Data and recorded by certify
staff.
The Maintenance plan publication is used to clarify the level of maintenance. The
maintenance can normally be performed within the RTAF scope of work. If the task is
outside of scope of work, RTAF will request specialized competence / resources from FMV.
Defect that is not included in maintenance publication, the Maintenance Leader together
with Swedish Air Force Support Group sends QAS to the FMV and TC holder for further
instruction according to Template, Appendix 11.
If a specialist is needed, a RFS is issued and sent to FMV according to Template, Appendix
11
The maintenance records must show clearly what action has been taken in order to rectify
the problem. Also the maintenance documentation references have to be recorded. If
components were replaced, the part number and serial number of the removed and
installed component have to be recorded.
When non-serialized material was used for rectification the part number and batch number
are recorded.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 60 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

Only Components and materials which have passed the receiving inspection as described
in 2.2 Acceptance/inspection of aircraft components and material from outside contractors,
can be used for the rectification.
The Maintenance Leader is responsible for maintenance activity in FENIX.
After completion of maintenance a general verification must be carried out to ensure that
the aircraft or component is clear of all tools, equipment and any foreign objects and that
all access panels removed have been refitted. More detail for Tool control see 2.6 Use of
tooling and equipment by staff.

2.10 Aircraft maintenance program compliance


RTAF CAMO is responsible for maintenance program concerning the fleet.
All applicable current maintenance programs, including modifications and repairs for
aircraft, components and ground support equipment are created in open task of FENIX
system.
The Maintenance Planner and the Maintenance Leader use the information in FENIX for
planning maintenance task. All performed tasks according to the maintenance program are
also recorded in historical task of FENIX system.
FMV evaluate and update the maintenance program and update FENIX with correct data.
The Maintenance Leader prints out the Task Card or Tally Sheet from FENIX and hands over
to Turnaround Leader.
The Fenix Report “Task Card” contains information such as Task detail including Task
instruction, Inventory detail, Execution detail field and Signatures and Release field. It is
intended for documentation of performed work and shall be supplemented with relevant
information before it is used for updating Fenix.
Tally Sheet is mainly used for Complex maintenance tasks, which contains many sub tasks.
The Tally Sheet is a Fenix-document used to:
• inform about tasks that shall be carried out
• document tasks that has been carried out
• update Fenix with tasks that have been carried out.
The Tally Sheet contains information such as Header, Maintenance personnel field, Task list
and Observations list.
Detailed instructions for completion of Task Card and Tally Sheet can be found in Ref.2
Administrative Procedures for Continuing Airworthiness (APCA).

2.11 Airworthiness directives procedure


Airworthiness Directives control is the responsibility of RTAF CAMO.
Airworthiness Directives (AD) for Gripen 39 C/D is managed by FMV as part of the Support
Contracts. FMV will deliver the needed actions for each AD to RTAF in the form of a
Technical Order (TO). This TO will be sent to DAE and also to Wing 7.
If RTAF receives an AD directly from the Type Certificate Holder, this is handled as
information only and no actions are taken before receiving the TO from FMV.
The Technical Order is created in FENIX by FMV. Each AD has to be also approved by
the CAMO-TD, before CAMO-Maintenance Planner can order the work for maintenance
organisation.
The Maintenance Planner orders the work for each aircraft based on the TO and the FENIX
information, in the same way as any other needed maintenance action.
The Maintenance Leader ensures that actions based on AD and work order are performed
on time for each aircraft.
The Maintenance Leader reports to the CAMO-TD if necessary and in FENIX when each
work order is finished.

2.12 Optional modification procedures


The MO will only perform modifications which are controlled and ordered by RTAF CAMO
and approved by FMV.
The modification instruction and material are provided by FMV according to support
contract.
If there is a need for modification other than FMV has approved, a request for change
(RFC) is issued and send to FMV according to Template, Appendix 11.

The Technical records are kept in hard copy in Technical Records Room and digitally in
FENIX.
In general, all data entry into Fenix is based on properly signed documents. Maintenance
Leader has to check whether the document is filled in correctly.
After being used for updating Fenix the document Forms shall be archived in the Aircraft
Technical Records Room.
Original Form 1 is stored at least 3 years after removal of the item. The original Form 1 for
installed items is stored at Aircraft Technical Records Room so it, upon request, can be
displayed for auditors regarding the aircraft status.
Responsible for keeping a good order in document archive is Technical Records Officer.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 63 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

2.15 Rectification of defects arising during Base maintenance


All defects found during base maintenance have to be recorded on a technical report (TR).
The TR form shall be completed, in capital letter, as far as possible including a detailed
describing the defect, and if applicable the part number and serial number of the affected
parts. Only one defect can be recorded on each TR form. When a TR form has been taken
in use the TR form has to be updated with a brief description of the defect, issued date and
signed by. All maintenance staff can raise TR when they find a defect.
The maintenance Leader input the information from TR in the FENIX, then he print Task
card from FENIX and hand over to Turnaround Leader for rectifying the defect. When the
defect has been rectified the technician signs the Task Card but only the certifying staff
can sign the release to service after he had verified the rectification of a defect.

Recurring defects or major defects


If the technician detects a defect that have occurred several times on the same aircraft or
the same defect on several aircrafts, he has to inform the Maintenance Leader in order
enable him to inform the Engineering Sections of the aircraft and to initiate an investigation
of the problem.
In case of major defects as for example flight controls, engine defects defects or structural
defects, the Maintenance Leader has to be informed immediately in order to enable him to
report to the Engineering Sections.
Defect defer and acceptance
Defect that occurs during operation and/or maintenance are handled by Maintenance
Leader and System Engineer (CAMO). Both of them can classify the severity level of the
fault.
If the fault is not within approved data, the System Engineering (CAMO) is responsible for
requesting approved data as a basis for decision. If the required decision is confirmed by
next higher authority in the Line Organisation (CAMO-TD then FMV), the defect can be
deferred.

2.16 Release to service procedure


2.16.1 General
A valid Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) is a requirement before any flight.
A CRS is a requirement after any maintenance, such as scheduled maintenance, defect
rectification, troubleshooting or component maintenance.
The Certificate of Release to Service can only be issued by Certifying staff with valid
authorization.
Before Certifying Staff perform finally inspection and issue a CRS, it shall be satisfied that
all maintenance actions have been carried out in accordance with the order.
Appendix 5 Certifying Staff shows the persons who are authorized to perform the Release
to Service at different levels.

2.16.2 Release to service after “Line Maintenance”

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 64 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

Line Maintenance is defined as any maintenance that is carried out before flight to ensure that
the aircraft is fit for the intended flight. It can be carried out in another location than the Wing
7 if necessary.
Line Maintenance includes:
• Trouble shooting
• Defect rectification
• Component replacement including replacement of Engine and APU
• Scheduled maintenance and/or checks including visual inspections that will detect
obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies but do not require extensive in-depth
inspection such as 50 FH Maintenance (C Service) and 100 FH Maintenance (D
Service).
• Minor repairs and modifications which do not require extensive disassembly and can
be accomplished by simple means.
For Line maintenance and component repair within scope of work, CRS is signed on Task
card by B1/B2 technician and Maintenance Leader after updating FENIX.

2.16.3 Release to service after “Base Maintenance”


Maintenance tasks falling outside criteria in 2.16.2 are considered to be Base Maintenance.
Typical Base Maintenance is every 200 FH Maintenance (TS).
Base Maintenance can only be carried out at Wing 7.
Certificate of Release to Service shall in this case be issued by Certifying Staff who have
the cat. C authorization in RTAF by using the Form 53 Certificate of Release from Base
Maintenance M7102-262980.
Form 202b Release to Service M7102-263005 shall be also issued by the Maintenance
Leader as a checklist for quality insurance of the release procedure after completed base
maintenance.

2.17 Records for the operator


The Technical Log system is a combined paper and the computer system FENIX, which
keeps track of technical remarks, corrective actions, scheduled and performed
maintenance.
Information needed by the pilot (crew) can always be found in the aircraft logbook, which
consists of Maintenance Report from FENIX and Maintenance Documentation Form.
Maintenance Report from FENIX
• Logbook Card, which contains Aircraft Information and Usage, Scheduled Tasks,
Technical references and Deferred Fault.
Maintenance documentation Form
• Aircraft Turnaround Form
• Aircraft Data Form A/C 39 Table A
• Armament Report
• Flight Log
• Oil replenishment monitoring
• ODR Form
• TR (Technical Report)

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 65 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

The Maintenance Leader ensures that the logbook is complete and its information is
correct.
The Maintenance documentation records (Flight Log, ODR Form and TR) are stored
together with CAMO-Record in Technical room.
Both operator and workshop can access to the Technical room.

2.18 Reporting of defects to Operator/Manufacturer


The relation between each report, see 1.5.6 Engineering & operations reporting to FMV.
Reporting of defects to Operator/Manufacturer consists of:

2.18.1 Alert Report


An Alert Report is used for reporting incidents that might impact flight safety and need to
be immediately brought to FMV.
An Alert Report must be made as soon as possible, and no later than 72 hours after the
incident. The seriousness of the incident determines the speed of reporting.
An alert report is made for any incident affecting any materiel system, sub-system, aircraft
including missile, product, parts and appliances, software product, basic data and mission
data, or consumable and expendable that may have an influence on the level of flight
safety.
Aviation Safety Officer, Wing 7 will send the incident/accident Report to RTAF Safety
Center. RTAF Safety Center then writes Alert Report and sends to FMV according to
Support template, Appendix 11.
Instruction for filling out Alert Report, see Ref.2 Administrative Procedures for Continuing
Airworthiness (APCA), RAFT-EP Chapter 11

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 66 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

2.18.2 Operational Disturbance Report, Ground (ODR-G)


The Operational Disturbance Report, Ground (ODR-G) (M7102-256926) is used for
reporting operational disturbances on the ground that are directly related to work on or with
aircraft. The intention is to locate and eliminate problems in the ground environment that
might affect flight safety, and which might otherwise not be identified and rectified.
ODR-G’s are written by RTAF Safety Center based on information from HR. ODR-G’s are
sent to FMV according to Support template, Appendix 11.
Instruction for filling ODR-G, Ref.2 Administrative Procedures for Continuing Airworthiness
(APCA), RAFT-EP chapter 13.

2.18.3 Hazard Report (HR)


The Accountable Manager is responsible for the HR system.
RTAF is using Hazard Reporting (HR) to identify real or potential problems and correct
them as early as possible to minimize consequences of unforeseen risk.
According to RTAF “non - punitive” Quality and Safety Policy, reporting and subsequent
investigations according to this document are solely with the intention of improving flight
safety and not to apportion blame or guilt.
The system makes it possible for users to report anonymously and all reports are
processed in RTAF improvement process, RTAF is interested in the occurrences, and how
to handle the Root Cause, and not primarily the persons involved in the occurrences.
Users of the HR System include all management-, continuing airworthiness- and maintenance
personnel.
Any person in RTAF who discovers a flight safety related hazard, or non-compliance in
operations, or an occurrence that cannot be handled within described routines, must write
a HR.
HR can be written normally in Thai. Instruction for filling out HR, see Appendix 20.
If the HR occurrence concerns supervision of continued airworthiness of aircraft, pooling
of parts and other products, Wing 7 (Quality/Aviation Safety Officer) will issue ODR/ODR-
G based on information from HR and send it according to Support Template, Appendix 11.
Occurrences that should be written in ODR/ODR-G are described in Appendix 21 Criteria
for writing ODR/ODR-G.
Writing and handling of Hazard Reporting (HR)
The handling of a HR is described in the flowchart Figure 8. The different roles for handling
an HR are reporter, receiver, responsible person and investigator.
The receivers (Quality/Aviation Safety Officer) will receive information about the
occurrence. After going through the occurrence by coordinating with MMO and MCA, the
receiver assigns the responsible person to create HR if needed also ODR/ODR-G. The
responsible person can assign an investigator or he can act as investigator himself. The
nature of that occurrence must be within the investigators field of expertise.
The HR is collected by Flight Safety Officer, Squadron 701.
If the user, receiver or responsible person considers the occurrence to be a serious flight
safety problem, then all NPHs and personnel concerned will be notified about this as soon

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 67 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

as possible. The NPH or management personnel then have the opportunity to react more
quickly and, if necessary, inform the RTAF Safety Center.
The investigator reviews the matter and presents a solution for short and long-term
corrective actions. The investigator then returns the matter to the person responsible.
If the person responsible for the matter is satisfied with the corrective actions, the proposed
actions are implemented and documented. After verifying that the actions performed had
the desired result the responsible person will close the report.
The Quality function, RTAF Safety Center receives monthly reports from Aviation Safety
Officer, Wing 7. Closed report can be opened again if suggested corrective action is not
satisfied.

2.18.4 Materiel Failure Report (MFR)


The Materiel failure report, MFR (M7102-250726) is used for reporting materiel failures or
problems that have affected, or might affect, the airworthiness, serviceability or safety of
aeronautical product or the safety of personnel in general.
In certain cases a MFR is used for recording supplementary information related to ODR
and TR, refer to chapters 12 and 40 in RAFT-EP.
MFR provides vital information for monitoring the airworthiness and safety of aeronautical
products and determining the need for corrective actions by the FMV and TC holders.
Engineering Section Officer is responsible for writing MFR and sending to CAMO-TD for
registration.
CAMO-TD sends the MFR to FMV according to Support template, Appendix 11.
Instruction for filling out MFR, see Ref.2 Administrative Procedures for Continuing
Airworthiness (APCA), RAFT-EP Chapter 9.

2.19 Return of defective aircraft components to store


2.19.1 Identification of defect components
All uninstalled parts or components have to be labeled with a Serviceability Part Tag.
The Serviceability Part Tag is a Fenix document used for
• Inform about status of Items (including modification status).
• Verify that the Item fulfil all claims according to valid technical documentation.
There are two different kinds of Serviceability Part Tag:
• Serviceability Part Tag for status RFI.
• Serviceability Part Tag for other status.
These are identical in content but are different with respect to header and color.
(Serviceable Part Tag (white) for RFI or Serviceable Part Tag (white/grey striped) for other
status).
The Serviceability Part Tag should be attached to uninstalled parts or components in a
plastic folder. The Serviceability Part Tag may not be placed inside the packing.
Defect components must have Serviceability Part Tag with status “Repair Required”.

2.19.2 Storage of defect components


Technicians hand over the defect components to Local Store Personnel. The components are
turned in to Fenix by the Local Store Personnel. He then prints “Serviceability Part Tag”
(Unserviceable) and attaches to the components.
Defect components are packed and kept separately from the serviceable material. This is
achieved through physical separation in the store.
The defect components should be sent to the repair workshop as soon as possible and if
waiting for transportation, they are kept at Base store.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 70 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

2.20 Defective aeronautical products to outside contractors


2.20.1 Dispatch of components for repair or overhaul (by FMV procedure)
Defective component shall be returned as quickly as possible, within 5 days (time starts at
removal of part in FENIX and stops when Local Store personnel sends request for
shipment by E-Mail). Rapid processing generates shorter turnaround times for components
and increases the availability of serviceable components in part exchange pool.
A defective or time expired component which has to be overhauled or repaired has to be
identified and connected to a work order, Material Return Sheet and un-serviceable tag
before shipping to applicable workshop.
It is of high importance that the error is described in a clear way in order to facilitate the
workshop to identify the fault and correct it.
By performing an accurate and clear description of the fault on the Work Order, the risk of
component returning to operation with remaining errors, which could affect all pooling
customers, is minimized.
Some component needs Maintenance Data Recording (MDR) for repairing. MDR data
needed for the following units:
• MG34: FCEA (SA11)
• MG38: AECU and APECU
• MG42: GECU
• MG50: Engine
• MG62: SysC, AIU and SMU
• MG64: ACP and CCDU (LCP)
• MG65: IFF/CIT (send full FRPT)
• MG66: ANT, PAU (EFF), HFU and SDP
• MG67: WTU, FTU, FPU and EWCU

2.20.2 Shipping of components


The component must be prepared and packed according to the instruction J3-A-96-00-00-
00A-81AA-A Aircraft Equipment Prepare for transportation or storage.
Plug close connectors and pipes. Components / spare parts that contain liquids should be
emptied by the help of a technician who will be performing the emptying in accordance with
current regulations.
The packaging must be complete and cleared of old labels and tape. For most components
special packaging is required, if in doubt contact FMV for information on the right
packaging. Electronic components / parts should be sealed in an ESD bag. Mechanical
components / spare parts should be sealed in plastic before they are packed. Dangerous
goods should only be handled by authorized ADR / DGR staff.
Documents attached to component when shipping consist of Material return sheet (MRS),
Serviceability Part Tag with status “Repair Required”, Work Order and Task Card.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 71 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

Components which have security/classification must have SPIND Form.


RTAF is responsible for packing component, FMV is responsible for Transportation.

2.20.3 Material Return Sheet (MRS)


Material Return Sheet (MRS) is a Fenix report used for reporting information about
inventory (and sub-inventory, if any). This information is used for creating or de-archiving
Inventory when moving materiel from the FENIX system of a pooling operator back to the
Pool Owners’ FENIX system.
When moving inventory, the other way, from the Pool Owners’ FENIX system to pooling
operators FENIX system a Transfer Document (TRD) is used for transferring information
in a similar way (refer to Chapter 54 of Ref. 2). The Report is created from the menu
“Material Return Sheet” which is available from page “Inventory Details”.
One Report is created for each Inventory, which is to be transferred between systems. If
the inventory has tracked sub-inventory these are included in the report on separate pages.
A Material Return Sheet (MRS) is to be issued each time one or more tracked inventory of
a pooled type is transferred back to the Pool Owner.
The Material Return Sheet (MRS) is to be issued in accordance with this instruction in Ref.
2, RAMP 19.5 R Pool inventory recall.

2.21 Control of computer maintenance records system


RTAF uses FENIX as its data monitoring system for monitoring and follow-up
aviation data for Gripen 39 C/D.
The server is physically placed in Sweden and maintained by Swedish personnel,
contracted by FMV.
The system is operating on a network’s server and giving access for personnel 24 hours.
Daily back-ups are taken and stored in a secure location with respect to fire and
confidential.
The verification routine to review A/C status must be performed according to the RAMP
2.1C Preventive Maintenance - Complete Aircraft - Major Checks and Heavy Maintenance.
This routine makes sure that the FENIX system contains correct information.
Operation of FENIX computer system is described in Ref. 2, RAMP-EP.
Users and Users Authorization for the computer systems FENIX, are presented in
Appendix 6.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 72 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

2.22 Control of man-hour planning versus scheduled maintenance


The Maintenance Planner is responsible for the maintenance planning on the actual aircraft
fleet and he has to issue all work order to the maintenance organisation. The CAMO should
order any major maintenance at least 2 weeks ahead in order to enable the maintenance
organisation to perform their preparation. This means arranges necessary recourses,
arrange for special tooling, review the work package and prepare the internal work package
and review the needed materials and order them.
The MMO is responsible to make a hangar visit plan. The hangar visit plan should be
updated when the CAMO orders new work.
The MMO is responsible to make a manpower schedule. This should take into account
human’s performance, complexity of work and additional factors.
The technicians are allowed to work 8 hours (1-hour rest) each day and 5 days a week. If
there is a need for overtime work, the maximum 4-hour overtime is allowed, but the
technician needs to have a half day off next day.
The maintenance Leader orders the daily work in advance (in the evening the day before
the day to perform task)
The Turnaround Leader assigns tasks to the technician in the morning.
The maintenance Leader and Turnaround Leader continuously monitor the scheduled
manpower and the actual used manpower.
If a major deviation occurs or could occur between man-hour planning versus scheduled
maintenance work it is the duty of MMO to take appropriate action.

2.23 Critical maintenance tasks and error-capturing methods


2.23.1 Dual inspection
In order to maintain all aircraft and aircraft components in a safe and efficient way RTAF is
controlling all critical tasks by the following procedure.
Base Maintenance
The Maintenance Planner is responsible to indicate the critical task, when the tally sheet
is released.

Work Area Level 1 Level 2


Engine Controls and Installation X
Flight Controls X
Structure and system installation X X
Escape and oxygen system X X
LDG Installation X
Wheels and Brakes X

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 73 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

Line Maintenance
The Maintenance Leader is responsible to indicate the critical task, when task cards are
released.

Work Area Level 1 Level 2


Engine Controls and Installation X X
Flight Controls X X
Structure and system installation X X
Escape and oxygen system X X
LDG Installation X X
Wheels and Brakes X

The work areas are divided in two groups, level 1 and level 2.
Level 1 tasks are working which are simple to perform but have a direct impact on flight
safety.
Level 2 tasks are more complicated to perform and have a direct impact to flight safety.
For Level 1 area a secondary technician can perform the basic work, after completion of
the work a certifying technician shall perform the duplicate inspection. If a certifying
technician had performed the work, he could perform the duplicate inspection of his own
work. He shall sign the work documentation with level 1 inspection performed.
For Level 2 areas the performed work has to be inspected by two certifying technicians
where 1 of them must not have participated in the performance of the work, they shall in
detail visually inspect all performed tasks.
Both technicians have to sign on the work documentation for the visual inspection of the
performed work by stating Level 2 inspection performed and signing (dual inspection).
Critical task inspection personnel have the entry on their Personnel Approval, they must
have:
• At least 5 years of maintenance experience
• Type rating in at the object.
The critical tasks are identified by the CAMO-TD (DAE), and are reviewed yearly.
During maintenance, when/if a Technician discover a possible critical task, the subject
should be brought to the Turnaround Leader for knowledge.
The Turnaround Leader informs the other technician about the subject on the Morning
Brief. If the majority of technicians agree that the task should be implemented as a critical
task, it will be sent to the MMO for further action.
A notification is sent to the CAMO-TD (DAE) for approval
When the Critical task is assigned, the Turnaround Leader will notify the technician. The
Maintenance Leader also makes sure that the task cards are signed accordingly.
Definitions of Line Maintenance see paragraph 2.16.4 Release to service after “Line
Maintenance”
Definitions of Base Maintenance see paragraph 2.16.5 Release to service after “Base

2.26 Shift/task handover procedures


RTAF maintenance workshop has no shifts. However, a change of personnel occurs
sometimes during maintenance activities.
The Turnaround Leader or the certified technician will be responsible for maintaining and
guarantee that all documents are filled out by staffs that stop his job on the object.
It is important that all aircraft documents are continuously recorded. At the end of each
working day, the Turnaround Leader or the certified technician ensures that all documents
are in order, before the staff leave.
It is possible that some of the assigned personnel can leave the assigned task to perform
another urgent task, but minimum one of the technicians has to be with the assigned task
from beginning to the completion.
Handover not complete task can be done in two cases: Handover by face to face or
handover by documentation.
Face to face handover is the first priority to avoid mistakes.
Handover by documentation can occur when both technicians do not have the chance to
meet each other. The outgoing technician handovers the in used publication to the
Turnaround Leader and inform him at which step he stop the work. The incoming technician
gets necessary information from the Turnaround Leader and begin his work by repeating
the last 3 steps before the outgoing technician stop.
Technicians and mechanics are responsible to have control of the tools they have used for
each specific work. When the work is completed or during longer breaks or at the end of
the day all the tools must be cleaned and returned to the tool room.
On board the aircraft ONLY the necessary tools for the work are allowed. He must ensure
that all tools are taken off the aircraft.

PART 3 QUALITY AND SAFTY MANAGEMENT

The quality policy is combined with the safety policy. Continuing airworthiness quality
policy by AM and TD are stated in paragraph 1.2
There are functions in the quality system that performs audits on Wing 7 maintenance
organisation:
MAA – Perform organisation and system audits.
Wing 7 – Perform local audits of the maintenance procedures.
When Wing 7 performs audits, Wing 7 Base Commander acts on behalf of the quality
manager as the monitoring function.
For local audit, Wing 7 Base Commander appoints yearly Auditor committee, who have
technical knowledge and proven satisfactory audit experience. The Auditor committee
consist of minimum 5 members.
Auditor committee audits independently the maintenance organisation monthly to ensure
that maintenance is performed in accordance with the MOE procedures.
The independent audit consists of routine sample checks that cover all aspects of the
organisation procedures to carry out maintenance to the required standards.
A checklist is used as a guideline for the Auditor. The checklist includes former findings of
quality audits by MAA and relevant issues of the MOE. The Auditor can use but is not
limited to the checklist to carry out the independent audit.
The audit checklist can be found in Appendix 29.

3.1 Quality audit of Organisation procedures


Wing 7 Auditor committee performs the local audit to cover the part 145 requirements
continuously throughout the year according to audit frame. The Audit Report Form is in
Appendix 16, Preliminary Finding Report Form in Appendix 17 and Audit Finding Form in
Appendix 18.
MAA has the overall responsibility to monitor Wing 7 auditing activities via the Wing 7
Safety meeting report. The MAA performs on site audit at Wing 7 yearly to verify that the
local auditing at Wing 7 is performed and deviations are handled accordingly. The Annual
audit plan is in Appendix 14.
The auditor takes a sample check of a maintenance task as a demonstration of the
effectiveness of maintenance procedures compliance and sample checking all the
procedures and requirements associated with the selected maintenance task.
The Quality audit of organisation procedures is normally combined with Quality audit of
aircraft.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 81 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

3.2 Quality audit of aircraft


Quality audit of aircraft is normally combined with the Quality audit of organisation
procedures as in 3.1
Auditor can perform product sampling by auditing a certain maintenance action, such as a
TS on the Gripen, or a work performed in the specialized workshop.
Where findings have been identified, the particular procedure is rechecked against other
maintenance task until the findings have been rectified.
When auditing, the Auditor witnesses any relevant maintenance action or testing and
visually inspect the product and associated documentations.
The sample check doesn’t involve repeat disassembly or testing unless the sample check
identifies findings requiring such action.

3.3 Quality audit remedial action procedure


The local audit result is presented / reported monthly in Wing 7 safety meeting. The report
describes what was checked and the resulting findings against applicable requirements,
procedures and products. The audit result is included in the Wing 7 Safety meeting report,
which is sent to MAA monthly.
Some Finding may need the immediate action, which is a temporary solution until the root
cause has been fully analyzed and until corrective action is implemented. The solution can
be to remove the product from service, specific tailored training activity or dual staffing in
a position to handle the immediate problem.
The Finding correction is performed according to these processes:
3.3.1 Identifying the root cause
To ensure that the finding is corrected in an adequate way it is important to identify the root
cause. This will prevent this finding from happening again.
Root cause analysis is the responsibility of the relevant manager. The Auditor can assist
when/if needed.
A root cause identification guide is included as Appendix 19 to this manual to facilitate the root
cause analysis.
In some cases, an investigation is necessary to find the root cause. The responsible
manager documents the analysis on RTAF Finding Form or HR report.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 82 (93)


AFM 02-002 MOE for Gripen

3.3.2 Corrective action


Auditing by MAA
The responsible manager documents the proposed corrective action plan on RTAF Finding
Form and sends it to the auditor for acceptance. This is done within 45 days after receiving
the preliminary report.
The auditor decides if the proposed corrective action plan will have the desired effect and
if the root cause will be corrected. If the auditor decides, a follow-up audit could be done
to ensure that the end result is satisfactory.
If the auditor is not satisfied with the corrective actions, further meeting/discussions are
held to reach agreement. If no agreement can be reached, then the question must be
brought to the C-in-C for decision.
Local auditing
The responsible manager presents their proposed corrective action plan in the Wing 7
Safety meeting.
Wing 7 Safety committee decides if the proposed corrective action plan will have the
desired effect and if the root cause will be corrected. If the Wing 7 Safety committee
decides, a follow-up audit could be done to ensure that the end result is satisfactory.
If the Wing 7 Safety committee is not satisfied with the corrective actions, further
meeting/discussions are held to reach agreement.

3.3.3 Follow-up process


Auditing by MAA
Open finding from Quality Audits and inspections are reported at relevant meetings. This
is normally done together with information from Hazard Reports. If findings from the quality
audit program are of general interest or there is a systematic problem that affects other
Directorates, then this is brought up for discussion in particular.
If the person responsible for the finding requests a time extension for the corrective action,
then the Quality Manager can give an extension if there is good reason for this.
Any exceeded time limits on findings are presented by the responsible manager to QM
together with the reason why the time exceeded.
If the final result of the corrective action is considered to be satisfactory, the Auditor can
close the Finding. The RTAF Finding Form is scanned or archived in hard-copy format.
If any Finding cannot be corrected for any reason within second time extension limit, the
Auditor Leader will take the finding to the AM for making further decision.
Findings and other relevant information, actual response times and completed audits are
archived by MAA for at least 5 years.

Effective Date: 23 June 2022 Rev. 1.2 Page 83 (93)

Appendix 21 Criteria for writing ODR/ODR-G


The ODR/ ODR-G shall be written for these occurrences:
1. Aircraft Technical
1.1 Structural
Not all structural failures need to be reported. Engineering judgement is required to
decide whether a failure is serious enough to be reported. The following examples
can be taken into consideration:
• Damage to a Principal Structural Element that has not been qualified as
damage tolerant (life limited element). Principal Structural Elements are those
which contribute significantly to carrying flight, ground, and pressurization
loads, and whose failure could result in a catastrophic failure of the aircraft.
• Defect or damage exceeding admissible damages to a Principal Structural
Element that has been qualified as damage tolerant.
• Damage to or defect exceeding allowed tolerances of a structural element
which failure could reduce the structural stiffness to such an extent that the
required flutter, divergence or control reversal margins are no longer achieved.
• Damage to or defect of a structural element, which could result in the
liberation of items of mass that may injure occupants of the aircraft.
• Damage to or defect of a structural element, which could jeopardise proper
operation of systems. See paragraph 1.2. Systems below.
• Loss of any part of the aircraft structure in flight.
1.2 Systems
The following generic criteria applicable to all systems are proposed:
• Loss, significant malfunctions or defects of any system, subsystem or set of
equipment when standard operating procedures, drills etc. could not be
satisfactorily accomplished.
• Inability of the crew to control the system, e.g.:
o uncommanded actions;
o incorrect and or incomplete response, including limitation of movement or
o stiffness;
o runaway;
o Mechanical disconnection or failure.
• Failure or malfunction of the exclusive function(s) of the system (one system
could integrate several functions).
• Interference within or between systems.
• Failure or malfunction of the protection device or emergency system
associated with the system.

Effective Date: 21 May 2021 Rev. 1.1 Page 1 (7)


AFM 02-002 MOE for GRIPEN

Appendix 21 Criteria for writing ODR/ODR-G


• Loss of redundancy of the system.

equipment: Loss, significant malfunction or defect in any main system,
subsystem or set of equipment.
• The loss, significant malfunction or defect of more than one main system,
subsystem or set of equipment
• Operation of any primary warning system associated with aircraft systems or
equipment unless the crew conclusively established that the indication was
false provided that the false warning did not result in difficulty or hazard
arising from the crew response to the warning.
• Leakage of hydraulic fluids, fuel, oil or other fluids which resulted in a fire
hazard or possible hazardous contamination of aircraft structure, systems or
equipment, or risk to occupants.
• Malfunction or defect of any indication system when this results in the
possibility of misleading indications to the crew.
• Any failure, malfunction or defect if it occurs at a critical phase of flight and
relevant to the operation of that system.
• Occurrences of significant shortfall of the actual performances compared to
the approved performance which resulted in a hazardous situation (taking
into account the accuracy of the performance calculation method) including
braking action, fuel consumption etc.
• Asymmetry of flight controls; e.g. flaps, slats, spoilers etc.

Appendix 22 Training and qualification standards for auditors


Military Aviation Authority needs to be in full control of its oversight process,
which in turn will need to satisfy. It is now well recognized that auditing is an
important an integral part of a full regulatory oversight process, and have adopted
auditing techniques as a means of obtaining evidence of regulatory compliance and
to assist in the initial and continued approval airworthiness process.
This two day course is specifically designed to provide regulators with a
sufficient understanding of the principles and practice of auditing to enable them to
develop auditing processes to suit a broad range of regulatory auditing activities
relating to Aerodromes, Flight Operations, Aircraft Maintenance, Training organizations,
etc. undertaken by individuals teams, and to provide them with the necessary tools
and techniques to plan and undertake individual regulatory auditing activities that
verify regulatory compliance and process effectiveness.
The course covers the principles and practice of conducting an initial review of
an organization for regulatory compliance together with the use of auditing to verify
the on-going effective implementation of the management system adopted by the
organization to ensure continued compliance. It is based around EASA regulations
and RTAF CAME and MOE.
The course revolves around a case study organization to construct an ongoing
audit oversight program to verify continued compliance. Conclusion: This two day
course is specifically designed to provide regulators with a sufficient understanding of
