When is the engine, propeller or component identification required in the aircraft continuing airworthiness record system?

The engine, propeller or component identification is required when the task is controlled at engine, propeller, or component level.

What date should be recorded as the date when a maintenance task was accomplished?

The date when the task was accomplished is the date the certificate of release to service was issued.

For repetitive tasks, what information must be included in the record system regarding due times?

For repetitive tasks, the record system must include when the task is next due time, as well as when the terminating action is performed.

Q: What should be included in the current status of compliance for each task in the aircraft maintenance programme?

The current status of compliance should include: (1) an identifier specific enough to allow easy and accurate identification of the task, such as a task reference combined with a task title or short description; (2) the engine, propeller or component identification when the task is controlled at that level; and (3) the date when the task was accomplished (i.e., the date the certificate of release to service was issued) and for repetitive tasks when it is next due time, as well as when the terminating action is performed.

Q: What does the identifier for a maintenance task need to be specific enough to allow?

The identifier needs to be specific enough to allow an easy and accurate identification of the task to be carried out, such as a task reference combined with a task title or short description of the work to be performed.

Q: What additional information should be included when a task is controlled by flight hours, flight cycles, landings, calendar time, or other parameters?

The total in-service life accumulated by the aircraft, engine, propeller or component (as appropriate) in the suitable parameter(s) should also be included.

Q: What does 'total in-service life accumulated' refer to in the context of the aircraft maintenance programme record system?

It refers to the total in-service life accumulated by the aircraft, engine, propeller or component (as appropriate) in the suitable parameter(s) such as flight hours, flight cycles, landings, calendar time, or any other applicable parameter.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME

(a) The current status of compliance with the aircraft maintenance programme means the last and next accomplishment data (referring to the applicable parameter) for the tasks specified in the maintenance schedule of the aircraft maintenance programme. It should include:

(1) an identifier specific enough to allow an easy and accurate identification of the task to be carried out, such as a task reference combined with a task title or short description of the work to be performed;

(2) the engine, propeller or component identification when the task is controlled at engine, propeller, or component level; and

(3) the date when the task was accomplished (i.e. the date the certificate of release to service was issued) and for repetitive tasks when it is next due time, as well as when the terminating action is performed.

(b) Where the task is controlled by flight hours and/or flight cycles and/or landings and/or calendar time and/or any other applicable parameter, the total in-service life accumulated by the aircraft, engine, propeller or component (as appropriate) in the suitable parameter(s) should also be included.
