AMC1 31TGB.82 Instructions for continued airworthiness
ED Decision 2013/011/R
Note: The paragraph numbering of this AMC relates to the paragraph numbering of CS 31TGB.82
(c) If instructions for continued airworthiness are not supplied by the manufacturer or designer of parts and appliances installed in the balloon, the instructions for continued airworthiness for the balloon need to include the information essential to the continued airworthiness of the balloon.
If manuals from different manufacturers are used, they need to provide a practical arrangement.
(d)(1) The detailed description of the balloon and its components needs to include for each balloon:
(1) a description of the systems including the assembly and disassembly instructions;
(2) a parts list covering all construction and equipment components and the assemblies. Where applicable, individual parts need to be numbered so that they can be related to the different assemblies and that their number corresponds to the type plate of the assembly; and
(3) a summary of the materials and consumables used with procurement details.
(d)(5) If applicable, the maintenance schedule may include instructions for continued airworthiness (e.g. recommended inspections or mandatory replacement of parts) to ensure the suitable protection of parts against deterioration or loss of strength, objective pass or fail criteria, e.g. applicable where tolerances need to be provided.
(d)(6) The maintenance and inspection instructions need to provide information for removal and installation, cleaning, inspecting, adjusting, testing and lubrication of systems, parts and appliances of the balloon as required for continued airworthiness. Reference may be made to information from an accessory, instrument or equipment manufacturer as the source of this information if it is shown that the item has an exceptionally high degree of complexity requiring specialised maintenance techniques, test equipment or expertise.
(d)(9) If the instructions for continued airworthiness consist of multiple documents, the Airworthiness Limitations section needs to be included in the principal manual.
Tethered gas balloon airworthiness requires comprehensive maintenance instructions. These instructions must detail balloon and component descriptions, parts lists, material specifications, and maintenance schedules. They should cover inspections, replacements, cleaning, testing, and address deterioration prevention. If using multiple manuals, ensure practical organization. The principal manual must include airworthiness limitations.
