Information Sheet No.1

to CAA Airworthiness Notices
28 September 2004
As a result of the coming into effect on 28 September 2004, of Part 21 Subpart H of European
Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1701/2003, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certificates of
airworthiness will be issued which will not specify the category of operation. Under Part 21 an EASA
aircraft will be issued with a “certificate of airworthiness”, a “restricted certificate of airworthiness”, or
a “permit to fly”. Consistent with this, from that date, the certificate issued by the CAA to a non-EASA
aircraft will be a UK national “Standard Category certificate of airworthiness”, “Special Category
certificate of airworthiness”, or “permit to fly”.
Therefore, where within Airworthiness Notices the terms:
Transport Category (Passenger);
Transport Category (Cargo);
Aerial work Category; and
Private Category
are used the reader should replace those terms with:
Operated for the purposes of Public Transport (Passenger or Cargo);
Operated for the purposes of Aerial work; and
Operated for the purposes of Private flight
as appropriate.
NOTE: Public transport and Aerial work is defined in Article 130 of the AN (2000) as amended. Aircraft must be
appropriately equipped and maintained commensurate to the type of operational use.
An aircraft with a certificate of airworthiness that is not “restricted” or “Special Category” may fly for
the purposes of Public Transport, Aerial work or for Private use provided it is appropriately equipped and
maintained.
Where the term ‘Special Category’ is used, this term remains unchanged. Operations by an EASA
aircraft with a restricted certificate of airworthiness may be constrained by the limitations stated on the
restricted certificate of airworthiness.
As each Airworthiness Notice is amended, the new terms will be progressively introduced into the body
of the texts.
NOTE: The CAA interprets that the aircraft which are not the responsibility of EASA include:
1 those excluded from the EASA scope by Article 1 and Annex II of Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002;
2 those for which an EASA Type Certification basis has not been established up until 28 March 2007;
3 those to which any derogation to national regulations applies under European Commission
Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003 “the Certification Regulation”; and
4 those to which any derogation to national regulations applies under European Commission
Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003 “the Continuing Airworthiness Regulation” established under Article
7 of the Regulation up until 28 September 2008.

Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Personnel – Certification Responsibilities Of

Type Rated/Authorised Personnel
1 General The purpose of this Notice is to describe the certification responsibilities of UK

Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Personnel. Such personnel may be the holder of an Aircraft
Maintenance Engineer's Licence issued under BCAR Section L or an Aircraft Maintenance
Licence issued under Part-66 (a JAR-66 aircraft maintenance licence is considered to be a
Part-66 licence under Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003). The responsibilities ap-
ply when issuing certifications either as a Type Rated Licence holder or an engineer holding
a certification authorisation. It also describes the privileges of the various Type Rated Li-
cences.
It should be noted that where the holder of a licence is performing maintenance activities
on an aircraft on which he or she is not appropriately licensed, i.e. acting as a non-certifying
engineer, they are still expected to act responsibly and carry out such work in accordance
with the procedures and standards identified in the following paragraphs.
A National licence issued by the United Kingdom CAA does not confer any certification
privileges with respect to aircraft which are not registered in the United Kingdom unless
the licence holder is entitled to certify for such activities by way of having the licence
validated by the relevant Airworthiness Authority and/or is authorised by a maintenance
organisation approved by that Authority.
NOTE: (1) A BCAR Section L Licence Without Type Rating or a Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence
does not confer any certification privileges on the holder in their own right (except for that allowed
under Part M.A. 801(d)2). Such licences must be used in conjunction with a certification
authorisation.
NOTE: (2) In the context of this Notice, reference to an authorisation means an authorisation issued
by an EASA or a CAA Approved Maintenance Organisation (under the requirements of BCARs or
Part-145 or Part-M) to allow the holder to issue certifications within the limitations shown on the
authorisation.
NOTE: (3) As of 28 September 2008 certification of maintenance on non-commercial transport
aircraft using a Part-66 licence as authority is limited to items which are not included in the list at
Part-M Appendix VII.
1.1 (a) The Certificate referred to under Article 14 of the Air Navigation Order is a Certificate
of Maintenance Review to be issued following completion of the review required by
the Order. The Certificate referred to under Article 16 of the Air Navigation Order is a
Certificate of Release to Service to be issued on completion of maintenance of aircraft
or components not required to be maintained under Part-145 or Part-M (see also Air-
worthiness Notice No. 7 Appendix 2 for CAA UK Part-M implementation dates).
(b) The Certificate referred to in Part-145, paragraph 145.A.50 is a Certificate of Release
to Service to be issued on completion of maintenance of aircraft or components
which are required to be maintained under the provisions of Part-145.
(c) The certificate referred to in Part-M.A.801 is a Certificate of Release to Service to be
issued on completion of maintenance of aircraft or components which are required to
be maintained under the provisions of Part-M (see Airworthiness Notice No. 7 Appen-
dix 2 Paragraph 7 for implementation dates).
1.2 In connection with the issue of Certificates of Release to Service, the following definitions
apply:
(a) Maintenance means any one or combination of overhaul, repair, inspection, replace-
ment, modification or defect rectification of an aircraft/aircraft component. EC No.
2042/2003 extends this definition to include 'with the exception of pre-flight inspec-
tion'.
(b) Overhaul means the restoration of an aircraft/aircraft component by inspection and
replacement in conformity with an approved standard to extend the operational life.
(c) Repair means the restoration of an aircraft/aircraft component to a serviceable con-
dition in conformity with an approved standard.
(d) Inspection means the examination of an aircraft/aircraft component to establish con-
formity with an approved specification.
(e) Replacement is any work operation which involves the removal and replacement of
the same part or the substitution of an approved alternative part.
(f) Modification means the alteration of an aircraft/aircraft component in conformity with
an approved standard.
NOTE: (1) Defect rectification normally consists of an element of inspection and troubleshooting
followed by repair and replacement of the defective item.
NOTE: (2) Inspection includes:
(i) Mandatory Inspection, an inspection made Mandatory by EASA, where the inspection
itself is the work (See CAP 747).
(ii) Scheduled Maintenance Inspection, an inspection or maintenance including tests re-
quired by the Approved Maintenance Schedule or Programme.
1.3 Although many terms in common usage describe the various aspects of aircraft
engineering, the meanings assigned to such terms are not always the same. For the
purpose of this Notice, in relation to airworthiness, the following definitions apply:
(a) Condition – the physical state of an item.
(b) Assembly – that items are fitted, assembled, attached, installed, connected, secured
or adjusted in the approved manner.
(c) Functioning – operation in the approved manner achieving such performance, range
of movement and freedom of movement as may be specified.
The certifying engineer shall be responsible for the condition, assembly and functioning of
the aircraft or its components for maintenance that has been certified under the privileges
of a Type Rated Licence or an authorisation.
1.4 The certifying engineer shall be responsible for ensuring that work is performed and
recorded in a satisfactory manner taking into account the following:
(a) Whenever work is carried out on an aircraft, it is the duty of all persons to whom this
Notice applies to ensure that the work, for which they are responsible, progresses in
a managed and controlled manner. Where they are supported by additional staff to
carry out the work, consideration shall be given by them before starting the work to
the manpower resource available and the abilities of the staff concerned. This is to
ensure that the certifying engineer determines and exercises an adequate degree of
supervision over such staff.
(b) In relation to work carried out on an aircraft, it is the duty of all persons to whom this
Notice applies to ensure that an adequate record of the work carried out is main-
tained. This is particularly important where such work carries on beyond a working pe-
riod or shift, or is handed over from one person to another. The work accomplished,
particularly if only disassembly or disturbance of components or aircraft systems,
should be recorded as the work progresses or prior to undertaking a disassociated
task. In any event, records should be completed no later than the end of the work pe-
riod or shift of the individual undertaking the work. Such records should include open
entries to reflect the remaining actions necessary to restore the aircraft to a service-
able condition prior to release. In the case of complex tasks which are undertaken fre-
quently, consideration should be given to the use of pre-planned stage sheets to
assist in the control, management and recording of these tasks. Where such sheets
are used, care must be taken to ensure that they accurately reflect the current require-
ments and recommendations of the manufacturer and that all key stages, inspec-
tions, or replacements are recorded.
(c) It is also the duty of all persons to whom this Notice applies to consider the effect
such work may have, directly or indirectly, on items which are the responsibility of
other such persons. In all cases where an overlap of responsibility between licence
categories occurs, the person primarily responsible for the item must involve all other
trade disciplines affected. Every person to whom this Notice applies must therefore
be conversant with all other relevant paragraphs of this Notice. Certificates of Release
to Service for each relevant trade category must be issued by all persons concerned,
each assuming responsibility of and certifying those aspects of the work for which the
licence/authorisation holder is entitled to assume responsibility.
1.5 A Certificate of Release to Service shall only be issued on completion of maintenance
when the signatory is (signatories are) satisfied that the work has been properly carried out
and accurately recorded, having due regard to the use of:
(a) up-to-date instructions and maintenance data (including manuals, drawings, specifica-
tions, EASA Airworthiness Directives and Mandatory Requirements listed in CAP 747,
and, where applicable, company procedures).
(b) recommended tooling and test equipment which is currently calibrated where appli-
cable.
(c) a working environment appropriate to the work being carried out.
When issuing a Certificate of Release to Service for work performed by others, the
certifying engineer assumes responsibility. The certifying engineer must have inspected a
sufficiently representative sample of the work and the associated documentation, and be
satisfied with the competence of the persons who have performed the work. For complex
tasks this may require progressive inspections to be carried out as the work proceeds. In
the case of an aircraft or component where welding a metallic part is considered essential
to airworthiness, it is the responsibility of the certifying engineer to establish that the
welder is approved in accordance with the requirements in BCAR Section A sub section A8
for aircraft maintained under national requirements.
For aircraft maintained under Part-M Subpart F or Part-145 it is the responsibility of the
organisation to establish and control competencies in accordance with EC Regulation 2042/
2003.
NOTE: Licensed engineers certifying under the privileges of their licence may not deviate from the
manufacturer’s maintenance instruction or maintenance data, nor use alternative parts, components
or assemblies unless such deviation is supported by the written agreement of the manufacturer,
approved as a change or agreed by the CAA. The local CAA Regional Office should be consulted in
cases of difficulty. Authorised engineers shall comply with all company procedures covering such
issues.
1.6 (a) When the work involves the assembly or any disturbance of a vital point defined in
BCAR Section A, Chapter A5-3 or control system, the duplicate inspection required
must be completed and certified in accordance with BCAR Section A/B Chapter A/B
6-2 before the relevant Certificate of Release to Service is issued.
(b) Part-M.A.402(a) requires that an independent inspection shall be carried out after any
flight safety sensitive maintenance task unless otherwise specified by Part-145 or
agreed by the competent authority.
(c) The holder of a Type Rated Licence in Category ’A’ and/or ’C’ or Part-66 Category B1
may make certification on aircraft (or their engines, as appropriate) below 5700 kg
MTWA for Duplicate Inspections of minor adjustments to control systems on other
types within the Category in which the licence is type rated.
NOTE: A minor adjustment is considered to be a single point adjustment or reassembly of a control.

1.7 The holder of an appropriately Type Rated BCAR Section L Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s
Licence in Categories ‘A’, ‘B’, ’C’ or ‘D’, or the holder of an aircraft Type Authorisation
equivalent to Section L Categories ’A’ and/or ’C’ or Part-66 Category B1, may issue a
Certificate of Release to Service to cover Non Destructive Inspections on aircraft or
components, within the privileges of the licence or authorisation held, subject to the work
being carried out as follows:
(a) Inspection requiring the use of Field Kit for the Colour Contrast Dye Penetrant tech-
nique may be carried out by persons either Type Rated or Type Authorised as above
or persons qualified in accordance with Generic Requirement (GR) No 23 in CAP 747.
(b) Non Destructive Inspections requiring any other technique, including Fluorescent
Penetrant Dye, shall be carried out and signed for by persons appropriately qualified
in accordance with Generic Requirement (GR) No 23 in CAP 747 prior to the issue of
the CRS by a licensed or authorised engineer.
1.8 Use of either a Type Rated Licence or an authorisation to issue a certification requires that,
in addition to the Licence or Authorisation being valid at the time of certification, the holder
has been engaged for periods totalling at least 6 months during the 24 months preceding
the date of the certification on work affording experience comparable with that required for
the grant of the Licence/Authorisation.
1.9 A Type Rated Licensed Engineer may issue the Certificates identified below in relation to
aircraft for which the licence is Type Rated and in accordance with the privileges detailed
in the remaining paragraphs to this Notice. An authorised engineer may only issue these
certificates as permitted within the limits of the authorisation.
(a) Certificate of Release to Service for aircraft not required to be maintained under
Part-M Subpart F or Part-145 – the holder of an appropriately Type Rated Licence may
issue Certificates of Release to Service subject to compliance with the requirements
of BCAR Section A/B, Chapter A/B6-2 and A/B6-7.
(b) Certificate of Maintenance Review – the holder of an appropriately Type Rated Li-
cence in at least two Categories (other than Category ’X’ Compasses) may issue a
Certificate of Maintenance Review subject to compliance with the requirements of
BCAR Section A/B, Chapter A/B6-2 and A/B6-7 and the Maintenance Schedule Ap-
proval Document.
(c) Certificates of Fitness for Flight – the holder of an appropriately Type Rated Licence
may issue Certificates of Fitness for Flight subject to compliance with the require-
ments of BCAR Section A/B, Chapter A/B3-8.
(d) Flight Release certificate - for aircraft not required to be maintained under Part-145.
The holder of a valid and appropriately type rated aircraft maintenance engineer's li-
cence granted under BCAR Section L or the holder of a Part-66 licence appropriately
endorsed for the aircraft type rendered valid in the United kingdom, may issue a Flight
Release certificate under the terms of an EASA Permit to Fly.
NOTE: For aircraft listed in Paragraph 14 of Airworthiness Notice No. 10 certificates shall only be
issued by appropriately authorised engineers.
1.10 The following licence categories may be used to allow the grant of an authorisation within
a Maintenance Organisation approved in accordance with EASA or CAA requirements.
A BCAR Section L LWTR (Licence Without Type Rating) providing that the authorisation
issued is within the scope of the licence held at 1st June 2001.
A BCAR Section L LWTR extended with the appropriate Type Rating.
A Part-66 Category A licence providing that the authorisation issued is in compliance with
AMC 145.A.30(g).
A Part-66 Category B licence providing that the licence has been extended with the
appropriate type rating. No authorisation permitted against the basic Part-66 licence.
A Part-66 Category C licence providing that the licence has been extended with the
appropriate type rating. No authorisation permitted against the basic Part-66 licence.
In addition to the foregoing paragraphs, when working within such Organisations, the
licensed engineer should be aware that he/she is part of a comprehensive maintenance
system. It is therefore important to realise that company procedures may further define, or
require specific actions, as to how certain issues are to be dealt with and these procedures
must be adhered to. It is also important to realise that when working within an approved
Maintenance Organisation and certifying under the privileges of an authorisation the
licensed engineer is not certifying under the privileges of the licence.
NOTE: UK licence holders may work for and therefore be authorised to certify by Maintenance
Organisations which are not CAA approved. In such cases, validation of a UK issued BCAR Section L
licence or Part-66 licence may be required. In addition, the holder of a licence may be required to
satisfy specific company requirements for authorisation. Such requirements may also introduce
additional National legislation and working practices which the licence holder should note and comply
with. Whilst certifying under such authorisations and in the absence of specific guidance the
principles and practices promulgated in this Notice should be adhered to.
2 BCAR SECTION L AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEER’S LICENCE – TYPE RATED

Type Rating, subject to the limitations detailed in sub-paragraphs 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4
and 2.4.5.
NOTE: Where no limitations are shown, Certificates of Release to Service may be issued for repair,
replacement, modification, mandatory inspection or scheduled maintenance inspection. In respect of
the certification of scheduled maintenance inspections, reference should also be made to the
Maintenance Schedule Approval Document which may require certification specifically by an
engineer licensed in the appropriate ‘X’ or ‘R’ Category. However, in the absence of such a
requirement, the holder of a Type Rated Licence in Category ‘A’ Aeroplanes assumes the
responsibility for establishing compliance with the maintenance schedule requirements on the
systems before issuing the Certificate of Release to Service.
2.4.1 In respect of instrument systems in the aeroplane (excluding instrument systems associ-
ated with the engine(s) and auxiliary power unit(s)):
(a) If the aeroplane has an instrument system specified in sub-paragraph 8.1 of

modification and mandatory inspection of ignition apparatus, instrument equipment and
electrical equipment) provided that the work does not involve the making of components
or parts.
Commission Regulation (EC) 2042/2003 does not provide provision for aircraft overhaul
licenses therefore; BCAR Section L category B and D licenses do not transfer to a Part-66
category B1 AML. The UK CAA is currently considering the continuance and issue of
National overhaul licenses for certification purposes on Commission Regulation (EC) 1592/
2002 Annex II aircraft types.
Although still under consideration, it is likely that new applicants for a National licence for
airframe overhaul work (BCAR Section L category B) will initially be required to meet the
criteria for a Part-66 AML.

IN CATEGORIES ‘A’ AND ‘C’ – ROTORCRAFT
NOTE: (2) A Category ‘A’ and ‘C’ Rotorcraft Licence may not be used to certify for piston or jet
turbine engines installed in aeroplanes.

place oil pump assemblies where such work does not involve the removal and
refitment of internal gears.
(h) Dismantling of main casings or main rotating assemblies of a turbine engine, except
as detailed in sub-paragraph 6.4.
(i) Dismantling of gearbox casings, except that separation of casings to obtain access for
the purposes of internal inspections in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tion is permitted.
(j) The disturbing of individual parts of units which are supplied as bench tested units,
in service.
6.4 Where the maintenance manual for the particular engine provides instruction for the task,
replacement of main casings and/or rotating assemblies comprising the whole or part of a
particular rotating system will be permitted provided that removal from the engine is
achieved solely by disconnecting the flanges of main casings. In accordance with the
above principles, some engines have been assigned the following symbols, or in
Airworthiness Notice No. 10. Dismantling of these engines is permissible, but is limited to:
(a) – Removal/replacement of main casings, excluding those whose removal results
in concurrent removal of a rotating assembly from the engine. No dismantling of main
rotating assemblies is permitted.

plished solely by disconnecting at the casing flanges. No dismantling of main ro-
tating assemblies is permitted.
6.5 In connection with the maintenance of instrument, electrical, automatic pilot and radio
systems installed in rotorcraft (excluding overhaul) the holder of a Type Rated Licence in
Categories ‘A’ and ‘C’ Rotorcraft is entitled to issue Certificates of Release to Service for
rotorcraft for which he holds a Type Rating, subject to the limitations detailed in
sub-paragraphs 6.5.1, 6.5.2, 6.5.3 and 6.5.4.
NOTE: Where no limitations are shown, Certificates of Release to Service may be issued for
replacement, modification, repair, mandatory inspection or scheduled maintenance inspection. In
respect of the certification of scheduled maintenance inspections, reference should also be made to
the Maintenance Schedule Approval Document which may require certification specifically by an
engineer licensed in the appropriate ‘X’ or ‘R’ Category. However, in the absence of such a
requirement, the holder of a Type Rated Licence in Categories ‘A' and ‘C' Rotorcraft assumes the
responsibility for establishing compliance with the maintenance schedule requirements on the
systems before issuing the Certificate of Release to Service.
6.5.1 In respect of instrument systems in the rotorcraft if the rotorcraft is specified in sub-para-
graph 7.4 of Airworthiness Notice No. 10, Certificates of Release to Service may be issued

13 PART-66 CATEGORY A AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENCE

NOTE: A JAR-66 licence is deemed to be compliant with Part-66 and therefore certification privileges
held under JAR-66 may continue to be exercised. Existing JAR-66 licences held will be automatically
converted to a Part-66 licence at the next licensing event. It is not necessary for JAR-66 licence
holders to convert to Part-66.
13.1 A Part-66 Category A Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) may be issued to a person who
has demonstrated a competence to complete minor scheduled line maintenance and
simple defect rectification. The licence does not entitle the holder to exercise any
certification privileges in respect of aircraft unless and until the holder is issued with a
corresponding Certification Authorisation. Such authorisations will be issued by a Part-145
maintenance organisation appropriately approved by the Competent Authority of a
European Union Member State (EU Competent Authority) or EASA. This means that the
Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence issued by the UK CAA can readily be used as the
basis for a certification authorisation throughout European Union Member States.
NOTE: (1) It should be noted that a Part-66 licence may not provide for full equivalence in another
Member State to certify for work relating to any National legislation which sits outside of Part-145.
Additional language requirements may also apply.
NOTE: (2) The holder of an unrestricted Category B1 licence is also qualified as a Category A licence
holder in the same sub-category, e.g. Aeroplanes Turbine, and may be issued with Category A
certification authorisation.
13.2 These Category A privileges will be limited to the performance and certification of specific
simple maintenance tasks, either individually or in combination, as defined in Part 145 AMC
145.A.30 (g) and will require a combination of theoretical and practical training to be
undertaken on each aircraft type to qualify for the task authorisation. Such authorisation,
issued by an Approved Part-145 Maintenance Organisation will specify the limitations of
the privileges that may be applicable. Licence holders will therefore be required to act in
accordance with the authorisation procedures of the company concerned.
14 PART-66 CATEGORY B1 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENCE

14.1 A Part-66 Category B1 Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) may be issued to a person who
has demonstrated a competence to complete maintenance, including aircraft structure,
powerplant and mechanical and electrical systems. Replacement of avionic line
replaceable units, requiring simple tests to prove their serviceability, shall also be included
in the privileges.. The Category B1 licence is primarily intended to be used for the purposes
of qualification of line maintenance staff for authorisation. The licence, in its own right,
does not entitle the holder to exercise any certifying privileges in respect of aircraft and will
be used in conjunction with a Part-145 or Part-M subpart F certification authorisation.
14.2 Such authorisations will be issued by a Part-145 or Part-M subpart F maintenance
organisation appropriately approved by the competent Authority of a European Union
member state or EASA. This means that the Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence issued
by the UK CAA can readily be used as the basis for a certification authorisation throughout
the European Union member states. Part 145.A.30 (h) also requires it to be used as a
prerequisite for authorisation of staff acting as inspectors or supervisors within base
maintenance. Licence holders will therefore act in accordance with the authorisation
procedures of the company concerned.
NOTE: It should be noted that a Part-66 licence may not provide for full equivalence in another EU
14.3 Category B1 licences apply to aircraft (aeroplanes and helicopters) and are issued in licence
sub-categories which are:
B1.1 Aeroplanes Turbine
B1.2 Aeroplanes Piston
B1.3 Helicopters Turbine
B1.4 Helicopters Piston
NOTE: An unrestricted B1 sub-category entitles the holder to be granted Category A certification
authorisations in the same sub-category, e.g. Aeroplanes Turbine.
14.4 Category B1 certification authorisations allow the holder to issue Certificates of Release to
Service under Part 145 or Part-M subpart F for line maintenance on aircraft which are
endorsed as individual types on the licence and the corresponding authorisation. Category
B1 licences to the full Part-66 standard include scope to allow the issue of a certification
authorisation covering work on a combination of the following disciplines:
• airframe and their related systems;
• engines and their related systems (including Auxiliary Power Units);
• electrical power generation and distribution systems (power distribution in respect of
airframe and/or engine systems) including lighting systems;
• avionic line replaceable units (LRU).
In respect of avionic LRUs, the work is limited to cases where the serviceability of the
system can be established by a simple self test facility (BITE) or by using simple test
equipment and it is expected that, for reference purposes, a list of such components will
be prepared for each aircraft type by the Part-145 or Part-M subpart F approved
organisation. (Defect rectification on avionic systems which requires an element of
decision making in its application other than a simple go/no go decision cannot be certified).
NOTE: The Category B1 licence holder is not entitled to certify for any overhaul work.
14.5 The certification authorisation can only be issued by a Part-145 or Part-M subpart F
organisation when the licence holder has the appropriate basic sub-category listed and the
aircraft type rating endorsed on the Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence. The type training
for a Category B1 type endorsement, conducted under a Part-147 approval, will represent
the appropriate technologies as specified in Part-66. The certification authorisation will
specify the privileges for the individual, giving due regard to the company scope of approval
and any associated procedures agreed with the Competent Authority, and will specify any
limitations to the authorisation accordingly.
NOTE: (1) As of 28 September 2008 a Certificate of Release to Service may be issued for
maintenance on a non-large aircraft, not operating as commercial air transport, based on a Part-66
licence extended with the appropriate type rating in accordance with Part-M. This maintenance is
limited to items not included in the list at Part-M Appendix VII.
NOTE: (2) A Part-66 licence issued on the basis of protected rights may contain technical restrictions
equivalent to the limitations of any BCAR Section L licence or company authorisations previously
held. These protected rights under Part-66 are a continuation of certifying privileges under an existing
licence or certifying authorisation which allows current personnel to continue working and certifying
without the need to re-qualify. Authorisations issued by a Part-145 organisation should therefore be
similarly restricted in scope. It should be noted that conversion to the full Part-66 licence standard is
optional.
14.6 Part-66 Category B1 licences issued by the UK CAA may also allow the certification, under
the provisions of Articles 14 and 16 of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (as amended), for
work outside of a CAA approved maintenance organisation on aircraft which are not
operated for commercial air transport. Such privileges are limited to UK registered aircraft
only. Certifications may only be made for those aircraft types which are endorsed
individually or as Group Type Ratings on the licence. The privileges will reflect the current
limitations for relevant BCAR Section L licence categories highlighted earlier in the
appropriate paragraphs of this Notice unless specified otherwise.
15 PART-66 CATEGORY B2 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENCE

15.1 A Part-66 Category B2 Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) may be issued to a person who
has demonstrated a competence to complete maintenance on avionic and electrical
systems. The Category B2 licence is primarily intended to be used for the purposes of
qualification of avionic line maintenance staff for authorisation. The licence, in its own right,
does not entitle the holder to exercise any certifying privileges in respect of aircraft and will
be used in conjunction with a Part-145 or Part-M subpart F certification authorisation.
15.2 Such authorisations will be issued by a Part-145 or Part-M subpart F maintenance
organisation appropriately approved by the competent Authority of a EU Member State.
This means that the Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence issued by the UK CAA can readily
be used as the basis for a certification authorisation throughout the EU Member States.
Part 145.A.30 (h) also requires it to be used as a prerequisite for authorisation of staff acting
as inspectors or supervisors within base maintenance. Licence holders will therefore act in
accordance with the authorisation procedures of the company concerned.
NOTE: (1) It should be noted that a Part-66 licence may not provide for full equivalence in another
EU Member State to certify for work relating to any National legislation which sits outside of EASA
requirments.
NOTE: (2) A Category B2 licence cannot be used for the purposes of a Category A certification
authorisation unless the Category A licence is also held.
NOTE: (3) As of 28 September 2008 a Certificate of Release to Service may be issued for
maintenance on a non-large aircraft, not operating as commercial air transport, based on a Part-66
licence extended with the appropriate type rating in accordance with Part-M. This maintenance is
limited to items not included in the list at Part-M Appendix VII.
15.3 Category B2 certification authorisations allow the holder to issue Certificates of Release to
Service under Part 145.A.50 for the line maintenance on aircraft which are endorsed as
individual types on the licence and the corresponding authorisation. Category B2 licences
to the full Part-66 standard include scope to allow the issue of a certification authorisation
covering work on a combination of the following aircraft systems:
• instruments;
• automatic pilots (aeroplanes, helicopters and autoland systems);
• radio communication/navigation;
• radio radar;
• electrical power generation and distribution systems (power distribution in respect of
avionic systems) including lighting systems.
Scope is not included for authorisation in respect of work on electrical power distribution
systems or electrical/avionic components in mechanical systems.
NOTE: The Category B2 licence holder is not entitled to certify for any overhaul work.
15.4 The certification authorisation can only be issued by a Part-145 or Part-M subpart F
organisation when the licence holder has the appropriate basic category B2 listed and the
aircraft type rating endorsed on the Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence. The type training
for a Category B2 type endorsement, conducted under a Part-147 approval, will represent
the appropriate technologies as specified in Part-66. The certification authorisation will
specify the privileges for the individual, giving due regard to the company scope of approval
and any associated procedures agreed with the EU Competent Authority, and will specify
any limitations to the authorisation accordingly.
NOTE: A Part-66 licence issued on the basis of protected rights may contain technical restrictions
equivalent to the limitations of any BCAR Section L licence or company authorisations previously
held. These protected rights under Part-66 are a continuation of certifying privileges under an existing
licence or certifying authorisation which allows current personnel to continue working and certifying
without the need to re-qualify from scratch. Authorisations issued by a Part-145 organisation may
therefore be similarly restricted in scope. It should be noted that conversion to the full Part-66 licence
standard is optional at present.
NOTE: Grandfather rights are authorisation privileges granted by an employer in accordance with an
authorisation procedure previously approved by the CAA that exceed the holder's basic licence. Such
authorisations are not considered as protected rights on transfer to a Part-66 licence as they exceed
the scope of the basic licence.
15.5 Part-66 Category B2 licences issued by the UK CAA may also be issued with an
endorsement, within an Annex to the licence, allowing the certification, under the
provisions of Articles 14 and 16 of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (as amended) (national
privileges), for work outside of a CAA approved maintenance organisation on aircraft which
are not operated for commercial air transport. Such privileges are limited to UK registered
aircraft only. Certifications may only be made for those types which are endorsed
individually or as BCAR Section L Group Type Ratings on the licence. The limitations will
reflect the current limitations for relevant BCAR Section L licence categories highlighted
earlier in the appropriate paragraphs to this Notice unless specified otherwise.
16 PART-66 CATEGORY C AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENCE

16.1 A Part-66 Category C Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) may be issued to a person who
has demonstrated a competence to release an aircraft following Base Maintenance. The
privileges apply to the aircraft in its entirety in a Part-145 organisation. The licence, in its
own right, does not entitle the holder to exercise any certifying privileges in respect of
aircraft and will be used in conjunction with a Part-145 certification authorisation.
16.2 Such authorisations will be issued by a Part-145 maintenance organisation appropriately
approved by the Competent Authority of an EU Member State. This means that the Part-66
Aircraft Maintenance Licence issued by the UK CAA can readily be used as the basis for a
certification authorisation throughout the EU Member States. Licence holders will
therefore act in accordance with the authorisation procedures of the company concerned.
NOTE: (1) It should be noted that a Part-66 licence may not provide for full equivalence in another EU
NOTE: (2) Category C licences at present only apply to aircraft greater than 5700 kg Maximum
Take-Off Mass (MTOM).
16.3 Category C certification authorisations allow the holder to issue Certificates of Release to
Service under Part-145.A.50 following the completion of base maintenance on aircraft
which are endorsed on the licence and the corresponding authorisation as individual types.
Such persons are in essence certifying for the completion of the process associated with
base maintenance and are supported by appropriately qualified and experienced category
B1 and B2 staff, who will inspect and supervise the actual work. The scope of coverage
therefore reflects the whole aircraft and is not limited to certification of solely mechanical
or avionic systems.
16.4 It should be noted that a Category C licence holder cannot be authorised to act as Category
B certifying staff, exercising line maintenance certification privileges, nor conducting base
maintenance, in the role of an inspector or supervisor clearing individual tasks, unless the
licence is also endorsed with the appropriate Category B1 and/or B2 licence.
16.5 The certification authorisation can only be issued by a Part-145 organisation when the
licence holder has the basic Category C listed and the aircraft type rating endorsed on the
Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence. The type training for a Category C type
endorsement, conducted under a Part-147 approval, will represent the appropriate mix of
systems knowledge as specified in Part-66. The certification authorisation will specify the
privileges for the individual, giving due regard to the company scope of approval and any
associated procedures agreed with the EU Competent Authority.
NOTE: A person qualified to Category B1 or B2 level with type endorsements will also be eligible for
a Category C type authorisation, providing the basic Category C licence is held.
17 PART-66 GENERAL
Holders of Part-66 AML with type endorsements may be required to undertake appropriate
differences type training where the aircraft type to be authorised embodies significant
variations in the equipment fitted or the aircraft systems configuration. The responsibility
for determining the training to be undertaken will remain with the Part-145 maintenance
organisation.
Commission Regulation 1592/2002 Annex II refers to aircraft types which have not been
adopted under Commission Regulation (EC) 2042/2003. Certification on these aircraft
types will continue under National licensing requirements. The UK CAA will continue to
issue National licenses, (BCAR Section L), for this purpose for the time being.
It is anticipated however, that from 2006/ 2007, these aircraft types will be endorsed into
an annex to a Part-66 licence, thereby combining the two documents. The certification
basis for the annex II types will remain as National Requirements.
Approval of Certain Part-66 Licensed Engineers to issue Certificates Required by the
Air Navigation Order
Certificates of Release to Service under Article 16
Pursuant to Official Record Series 4 No 544 of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (ANO) the
United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority approves every holder of an Aircraft Maintenance
Licence issued in accordance with Part-66 by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority
to issue certificates of release to service required by Article 16 of the ANO 2005.
A certificate of release to service may only be issued on the basis of this approval in respect
of:
(a) an aircraft with a maximum total weight authorised not exceeding 5700 kg; and
(b) in respect of maintenance activities defined in paragraph M-A.801 (b) 2 of Part-M
Persons granted privileges in accordance with this approval shall comply with the
responsibilities and duties set out in this Notice.

Propellers Approved For Use On Civil Aircraft Manufactured In The United

Kingdom
1 Propellers listed in the attached Appendix are approved for use on civil aircraft manufac-
tured in the United Kingdom with Certificates of Airworthiness issued by the Civil Aviation
Authority. For those aircraft types which have a Civil Aviation Authority Type Certificate
Data Sheet (TCDS), that TCDS should be consulted for details of approved propellers.
NOTE: Propellers listed in this Notice also include those which have been approved for aircraft
certificated in the Special Category only, and it would therefore be wrong to assume that the aircraft
listed against a propeller type will automatically qualify for certification in other Categories with that
propeller fitted.
2 For convenience, propellers are listed under types of engines, but each propeller is ap-
proved only for the specific engine-airframe combination shown.
3 Propellers manufactured after the date of this Notice to the same drawing numbers as
those given in the attached list may, in addition, bear certain issue numbers. These issue
numbers are used mainly to indicate minor modifications which do not affect safety, but in
some cases the intention is to indicate changes in pitch or diameter.
3.1 Where an issue number has been used to indicate a minor modification and the pitch and
diameter remain the same as against the drawing number shown in this list, it may be
assumed that the propeller is approved.
3.2 Where an issue number has been used to indicate a change in pitch or diameter and either
of these differ from the figures given in the attached list, the propeller is not approved
unless it actually appears in this list.
4 Before fitting a variable-pitch propeller it is essential to ensure that the basic pitch-range
setting conforms with the latest setting approved for the particular engine-airframe combi-
nation.
5 The pitch quoted is that measured at the radius defined by the manufacturer. Usually this
is at 70% or 71% of radius, although in some cases it is at 75%.
6 If it is desired to use a propeller not included in the list, application for approval should be
made in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Chapter A4-4 of British Civil Airwor-
thiness Requirements.
7 For propellers approved for imported aircraft of foreign origin, reference should be made to
the appropriate publications issued by the Airworthiness Authority concerned, or the rele-
vant manufacturer. Information may also be obtained from the Civil Aviation Authority,
Safety Regulation Group.

Tyre Wear Limitations

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 British Civil Airworthiness Requirements require that for certification of new types of
aircraft, the depth of tyre tread below which wet braking friction characteristics are
impaired should be specified at the time of certification; it is also required that it should be
possible to determine, in operational conditions, when the tread depth is worn below this
limit.
1.2 This Notice provides general guidance on the subject of tyre wear limitations for operators
of all public transport aeroplanes of more than 5700 kg maximum weight on the UK
Register for which a limiting tyre tread depth is not otherwise available.
2 DISCUSSION
2.1 Accidents and incidents, resulting from both loss of braking friction and loss of directional
control on wet runways, continue to occur. While the scheduled accelerate-stop and
landing distances provide some allowance for deterioration in friction, it has been
established that this allowance is not sufficient to maintain the required level of safety if
tyres which are more than 80% worn are used in wet runway operations.
2.2 As it is not possible fully to allow for this by increasing the scheduled distances (because
of the frequency of incidents caused by loss of directional control, even on the most
favourable wheel arrangements), the CAA favours the retention of current scheduled
distances, together with a recommended minimum tread depth applicable to all aircraft
tyres.
3 RECOMMENDATION In the absence of evidence of the safety of a lower limit for a par-
ticular aircraft/tyre/operation combination, it is recommended that a tyre be withdrawn
from service when it is worn to such an extent that its wet runway performance would be
seriously impaired. This may be defined as when:
(a) It is worn such that any groove has a depth of less than 2mm of tread for more than
one quarter of the tread circumference, or
(b) at any place on the circumference the tread pattern is worn to a depth of less than
2mm across the whole width of the tread in contact with the runway.
NOTE: This is not a rigid definition and equivalence may be provided if, for example, tyre wear is such
that whilst one groove is less than 2mm all the others are 3mm or more.

Airworthiness Publications – General Information
1 This Notice gives details of the various airworthiness publications which may, in general,
be obtained from the CAA. Many of these are now freely available on the CAA web site at
www.caa.co.uk where you may register for e-mail notification of amendments. A paper
copy can be purchased from the CAA’s printers. All JAA publications are available from
Rapidoc, Willoughby Road, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 8DW (Tel. (01344) 861666, Fax.
(01344) 714440).
2 From 1 March 2005 CAA has appointed TSO (The Stationery Office) as their printers. From
that date all CAA publications will be available from:
TSO, PO Box 29, Norwich NR3 1GN www.tso.co.uk/bookshop
Telephone orders/General enquiries: 0870 600 5522 E-mail: book.orders@tso.co.uk
Fax orders: 0870 600 5533 Textphone: 0870 240 3701
3 Enquiries regarding documents forming part of the Certificate of Airworthiness (e.g. Flight
Manuals and Performance Schedules for specific types of aircraft), should be addressed to
the Civil Aviation Authority, Safety Regulation Group, Aviation House, Gatwick Airport
South, West Sussex RH6 0YR. Enquiries relating to responses to AAIB Safety
Recommendations or UK Accident Statistics, or for documents containing information on
reportable occurrences, should be addressed to the Safety Investigation and Data
Department, at the above Aviation House address. Enquiries regarding the International
Register of Civil Aircraft should be addressed to: Civil Aviation Authority, Aircraft
Registration Section, CAA House, 45-59 Kingsway, London WC2B 6TE. Telephone: 020
7453 6666, Fax: 020 7453 6670.
NOTE: On 28 September 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) became responsible
for the airworthiness standards for the majority of the civil aircraft registered in the Member States
of the European Union. The gradual transfer from national procedures and requirements to those
defined by EASA will necessitate extensive and periodic amendment of CAA publications. The first
publications to be affected are:
CAP 455 Airworthiness Notices
CAP 473 Foreign Airworthiness Directives Vol I and II – CAA Additional Airworthiness Directives
CAP 474 Foreign Airworthiness Directives Vol III
CAP 480 UK Additional Requirements and Special Conditions for the certification of foreign
constructed aircraft
CAP 747 Mandatory Requirements for Airworthiness
The amendment of CAPs will continue to be the convenient and familiar means by which the CAA
will notify the applicability of UK requirements.
4 AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS
4.1 British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR). These comprise minimum
requirements and constitute the basis for the issue of approvals and certificates required
by the Air Navigation Order. Appendix No. 3 to this Notice lists the constituent sections of
BCAR together with their amendment status. For a full list of current, superseded and
obsolete BCARs please refer to www.caa.co.uk/publications.
4.2 Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) are published on behalf of the Joint Aviation
Authorities. Their status is that they are recognised (where not superseded by an
associated EC Regulation Annex (Part) as listed in Appendix 3) by the Civil Aviation
Authorities of the Participating European Countries as an acceptable basis for showing
compliance with their National Airworthiness Codes. Some countries (including the United
Kingdom) have adopted certain codes as their sole National Code. Those adopted by the
United Kingdom are set out in Appendix No. 3 under British Civil Airworthiness
Requirements.
4.3 European Aviation Safety Agency Certification Specifications (CS) are published by
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Their status is that they must be used as the
reference standard for the certification of those aircraft which come under the auspices of
EASA (a definition of the aircraft covered may be found in CAP 747 and also in CAAIP
Leaflet 1-2 (CAP 562)).
The EASA Certification Specifications were developed from the Joint Aviation
Requirements (JAR) and cover the same subjects. They are listed in Appendix No. 3 to this
Notice.

9 THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTER OF CIVIL AIRCRAFT

9.1 The International Register of Civil Aircraft holds official information from the aircraft
registers of many of the worlds countries. The information is held on a database which is
updated quarterly by direct submissions from over 50 countries including USA. Currently,
details on over 415,000 aircraft are held on the database. The degree of information held
for each aircraft varies according to the amount of data supplied by the relevant national
authority. Full information is held for most aircraft and comprises such information as
registration marks, aircraft type, registered owners and their addresses, airworthiness
details, aircraft weights and aircraft capacity.
9.2 The International Register of Civil Aircraft is targeted at meeting the information needs of
people and companies whose businesses and interests revolve around the national and
international aviation industries, in particular airports, the financial services sector, the legal
profession, the insurance market, the engineering sector and the marketing sector.
9.3 The Basic version of the International Register of Civil Aircraft is published on the internet
at www.aviation-register.com and on CD-ROM. The CD-ROM is published quarterly in two
versions, the Basic and Extensive versions. Both versions are fully featured databases with
sophisticated search functions.
9.4 The Extensive version of the CD-ROM allows extensive data manipulation by the user.
Information from the database can be downloaded to word-processors, spreadsheets or
other database programs. Users are able to produce their own customised mail-outs and
reports or source market survey information according to personal requirements.
9.5 The Basic version has the full functionality of the Extensive version but does not allow the
user to download data for manipulation in other applications.
9.6 Credit card (other than Diners Club and American Express cards) and debit card orders may
be made by telephone or fax to the numbers mentioned below. Payment by cheque is also

the system and continuously updates information on registered aircraft that change
registration details each year. Much of the information held on the Register is available to
the public and industry.
10.2 The Aircraft Registration Section of the Civil Aviation Authority markets a number of
products and services relating to information on the UK Register of Civil Aircraft.
10.3 G-INFO is a comprehensive single source database of civil aviation in the UK offering data
taken directly from the official UK Register of Civil Aircraft, information which is accurate
as of the first day of each month.
Supplied on CD-ROM, G-INFO will run on PCs running Windows 3.1 or higher, it requires
approximately 10 mb of hard disk space. It is available on a one-off basis, or, by annual
subscription, on a monthly or quarterly basis.
10.4 G-INFO comes in two formats:
(a) G-INFO (full version) replicates information held against each aircraft on the UK Reg-
ister of Civil Aircraft including all registered ownership and technical details for each
aircraft registered in the UK. Information can be retrieved by making searches on in-
dividual fields such as registration mark, aircraft type or serial number, and users are
able to make use of sophisticated filter options for more precise and defined search-
es. Users are able to produce their own customised mail-outs and reports or source
market survey information according to personal requirements.
(b) G-INFO 'LITE’ This has the full functionality of G-INFO but does not allow the user to
download data for manipulation in other applications.
10.5 The CAA website also contains the G-INFO database and the same information at
www.caa.co.uk/srg/aircraftregister/ginfo/search. It is upgraded nightly.

16 AIRCRAFT RADIO EQUIPMENT (CAP 208)

16.1 The Air Navigation Order 2005 Article 20(5) requires all radio and radio navigation
equipment installed in or carried on aircraft registered in the United Kingdom to be of a type
approved by the Civil Aviation Authority in relation to the purpose for which it is to be used.
(a) Volume 1: Minimum Performance Requirements (second edition January 1991,
last reprint October 1996, but now out of print) CAP 208 Volume 1 is now
considered to be obsolete in that it no longer represents the minimum performance
requirements that the Civil Aviation Authority applies to radio equipment approvals.
The document has historical value as the basis of approval of radio equipment which
is still approved.
For the minimum performance requirements to be applied to radio equipment
reference should be made to JAR-TSO (Technical Standard Orders), published by the
JAA, which outlines the relevant EUROCAE or RTCA minimum operational
performance standards for the different types of equipment.
(b) Volume 2: Radio Equipment Approved for Use in United Kingdom Registered
Civil Aircraft (third edition, August 1995 last reprint December 1999 – but now
out of print) CAP 208 Volume 2 is now considered to be obsolescent in that it no
longer represents a complete and definitive record of aircraft radio equipment
approved by the Civil Aviation Authority which may currently be used in aircraft radio
installations. The document has historical value as the record of radio equipment
which has been approved.
Information on aircraft radio equipment approvals is now available on the CAA web
site at www.caa.co.uk/srg/airworthiness/aea. If you have any queries concerning
aircraft radio equipment approvals, please contact the Safety Regulation Group,
Systems Department by:
telephone on 01293 573132 (alternative number 01293 573138); or
fax on 01293 573975; or
e-mail to aircraft.systems@srg.caa.co.uk.
CAP 208 Volume 2 lists radio equipment approved, according to the general approval
procedures given in BCAR A4-8 (CAP 553) and B4-8 (CAP 554) together with BCAR
Section R (CAP 472), by the Civil Aviation Authority for use in UK registered civil
aircraft and indicates, where appropriate, the purposes for which it may be used. This
volume was last updated in September 1999.
NOTE: CAP 208 Volume 2 does not include radio equipment approved by National Aviation
Authorities of JAA Member States under JAR-21 or the associated JTSO Authorisations.
Reference should be made to the Register of JTSO Authorisations maintained by the Central
JAA and published in the JAA Administrative & Guidance Material.

No. 7
Issue 2
29 March 2006
Implementation of the European Parliament Regulation and Council of the

European Union Regulations
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 European Community Member States are required to enforce European Parliament
Regulation and Council of the European Union Regulations. The UK Government enforces
the aviation regulations by requiring that the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) ensure
compliance by the UK aviation sector.
1.2 This Airworthiness Notice No. 7 provides information on the implementation of the
Regulations for organisations and persons engaged in the continuing airworthiness of
aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances.
2 APPLICABILITY
2.1 This Notice is of particular relevance to licensed aircraft engineers, aircraft owners and
operators, organisations approved for the maintenance of aircraft and organisations
approved to recommend the renewal of a Certificate of Airworthiness.
3 CONTENT
3.1 This Airworthiness Notice includes the following Appendices to summarise the particular
aspects of implementation:
Appendix 1 Part-145
Appendix 2 Part-M
Appendix 3 Certificate of Airworthiness Issue and Renewal and Associated Continuing
Airworthiness Procedures
Appendix 4 Part-66
Appendix 5 Part-147
4 HISTORY
4.1 European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
EASA commenced operation on 28 September 2003 and over a 42-month transition period
will be assuming many of the functions currently undertaken by the National Aviation
Authorities (NAA) of the EU Member Nations. EASA is currently recruiting staff to carry out
its intended function, but in the interim, to ensure that the certification and continuing
airworthiness of aircraft, aeronautical products, parts and appliances, organisations and
personnel is not disrupted, transition provisions have been made. These include the
phased implementation of EASA regulations and the delegation of certain functions to
Member States and to the Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) for defined periods.
Consequently, some aspects of the regulation of continuing airworthiness functions will
not change for some time.
Information regarding the Agency and the Regulations may be found on the EASA web site
at www.easa.eu.int.
5 LEGISLATION
5.1 Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002
This Regulation established EASA, the common rules and essential requirements for
airworthiness and provided EASA with its functions. The Regulation does not apply to
aircraft engaged in military, customs, police or similar activities (Article 1.2), or to aircraft
classified in accordance with Annex II (Article 4.2).
The certification of the excluded aircraft and products, parts and appliances embodied on
such aircraft are not the subject of this Notice. Similarly, the organisation and personnel
certification requirements for excluded aircraft are not within the scope of this Notice.
Subject to future legislative changes, such certification will remain in accordance with
British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR).
This Regulation establishes implementing rules for the airworthiness and environmental
certification of aircraft and related products, parts and appliances, as well as for the
certification of design and production organisations. Article 5 brings into force the
Regulation, including derogations permitting phased transition to full compliance. The
Annex to the Regulation is comprised of Part 21 for the certification of aircraft, related
products, parts, appliances and of design and production organisations. The Part 21 Annex
was developed from the JAA Requirement JAR–21 and further information on the
implementation of this Part can be found on the CAA web site at www.caa.co.uk.
This Airworthiness Notice addresses some specific sub-Parts of the rule, in particular those
connected with the issue and renewal of Certificates of Airworthiness.
This Regulation establishes implementing rules for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft
and aeronautical products, parts, appliances and for the approval of organisations and
personnel involved.
Article 7 brings this Regulation into force, including derogations permitting phased
transition to full compliance. The Annexes attached to the Regulation are as follows:
Annex I Part-M - continuing airworthiness requirements
Annex II Part-145 – approval of maintenance organisations – commercial air
transport and large aircraft
Annex III Part-66 – certifying staff – aircraft maintenance licence
Annex IV Part-147 – training organisation requirements.
5.4 Regulation Structure
5.4.1 There are three levels of regulatory structure as follows:
(a) Legally binding rules contained in the Annexes to the Regulations.
(b) Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC).
(c) Guidance Material (GM).
5.4.2 Each Annex (Part) is divided into two sections as follows:
(a) Section A defines the requirements for industry to comply with, e.g. for the issue of
an airworthiness certificate and the conditions for it to remain valid.
(b) Section B defines the procedures a competent authority shall follow for the purposes
of issuing and maintaining certificates, e.g. organisation approvals in accordance with
Section A to Part-145. The UK CAA is the competent authority for organisations locat-
ed in the UK and is also contracted to EASA to provide oversight of certain organisa-
tions located outside the territory of the Member States which are the primary
responsibility of EASA.
5.5 Air Navigation Order, CAA Requirements and Maintenance Standards
Appropriate amendments are being made to the UK Air Navigation Order to take account
of the changes brought about by the implementation of the EC Regulations. Changes to
BCAR will also be made where necessary. Some aircraft are not within the scope of the
EC Regulation and these require the retention of existing UK legislation. Maintenance
standards in the UK are contained in a number of documents, e.g. CAP 562 - Civil Aircraft
Airworthiness Information and Procedures, CAP 411/412 - Light Aircraft Maintenance
Schedule, these standards remain applicable to UK Registered aircraft until adoption of
equivalent European Standards.

Part-M – Continuing Airworthiness Requirements

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 Annex 1 (Part-M) establishes the common technical
requirements and administrative procedures for ensuring the continuing airworthiness of
aircraft. This includes the maintenance of aircraft and the processes and controls that apply
to ensure a Certificate of Airworthiness remains valid. It also specifies the conditions to be
met by persons or organisations involved in the continuing airworthiness management of
aircraft.
2 COMPOSITION
2.1 Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 Annex 1 Part-M comprises of nine subparts that prescribe
the requirements to ensure the continuing airworthiness of aircraft together with the
approval of organisations involved in the continuing airworthiness of aircraft.
• Subpart A General
• Subpart B Accountability
• Subpart C Continuing Airworthiness of Aircraft
• Subpart D Maintenance standards
• Subpart E Component maintenance
• Subpart F Maintenance organisation
• Subpart G Continuing Airworthiness Management organisation
• Subpart H Certificate of Release to Service
• Subpart I Continuing validity of a Certificate of Airworthiness
3 APPLICABILITY
3.1 Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 Annex 1 Part-M is applicable to organisations and personnel
involved in the continuing airworthiness of EASA aircraft and components, including the
maintenance of aircraft:
(a) designed or manufactured by an organisation for which the Agency or a Member
state ensures safety oversight: or
(b) registered in a Member State; or
(c) registered in a third country and used by an operator for which any Member State
ensures oversight of operations;
NOTE: This does not apply when the safety oversight of an aircraft has been delegated to a non EU
Member state and a Community operator does not use the aircraft.
3.2 Part-M is applicable to all aircraft including aeroplanes, helicopters, gliders, airships
and balloons issued with an Airworthiness Certificate except those provided for by
Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and aircraft which are engaged in
military, customs, police or similar activities.
NOTE: Maintenance Requirements for balloons holding a Certificate of Airworthiness shall be in
accordance with British Balloon and Airship Club (BBAC) procedures and required tasks shall be
certified by appropriately authorised BBAC inspectors.

4 AIRCRAFT GROUPS
4.1 In order to apply the requirements of Annex I (Part-M) all aircraft can be considered to fall
into one of two groups:
Group 1- Applicable to all aircraft used for commercial air transport and all “large aircraft”.
This group of aircraft is required to be maintained in a “controlled environment”, therefore
the continuing airworthiness is to be managed by an organisation approved in accordance
with Part-M Subpart G. The aircraft are required to be maintained to common maintenance
standards specified in Part-M Subpart D by an organisation approved in accordance with
Part-145 and released to service by Part-66 qualified staff.
NOTE 1: For the purpose of this regulation a “large aircraft” means an aeroplane with a MTOM of
more than 5700kg, or a multi-engine helicopter.
NOTE 2: An aircraft is within a “controlled environment” when it is continuously managed by the
same approved Subpart G organisation for a period of 12 months or more and maintained by an
appropriately approved maintenance organisation.
Group 2 – Applicable to all aircraft not used for commercial air transport, with a MTOM of
5700kg or less and single engine helicopters.
This group of aircraft can be maintained in a “controlled environment” as for Group 1
aircraft. Alternatively the continuing airworthiness may be managed:
(a) by the owner or lessee if they consider themselves to be competent or
(b) by an approved continuing airworthiness management organisation (Part-M Subpart
G).
The aircraft are also to be maintained to the standards specified in Part-M Subpart D and
the maintenance performed by either:
(a) an organisation approved in accordance with Part-145 or,
(b) Part-M Subpart F organisation or,
(c) with certain limitations, an individual licensed aircraft engineer (Part-M Subpart H).
All aircraft are required to be released to service by Part-66 qualified staff.
NOTE: For aircraft less than 2730kg MTOM, limited pilot-owner maintenance may be carried out and
the aircraft released to service as specified.
5 EFFECTIVE DATE
5.1 The Regulation effective date was 29 November 2003.
5.2 A number of provisions of the regulation are subject to derogations that will allow for a
transition period.
6 DEROGATIONS
6.1 The transition arrangements for Annex 1, Part-M are detailed as follows:
(a) For aircraft engaged in commercial air transport, by way of derogation from the
Regulation, the provisions of Annex 1 (Part-M) became effective from 28 September
2005, except for paragraphs M.A.201 (h)(2) and M.A.708(c). From 29 November 2003
all aircraft used by a UK operator for the purposes of commercial air transport will have
all maintenance carried out by a Part-145 organisation either directly or by a contract-
ed organisation.
NOTE 1: M.A.201(h)(2) requires a commercial air transport operator to be approved in
accordance with Part-145 or contract the maintenance to a Part-145 organisation.
NOTE 2: M.A.708(c) requires a commercial air transport operator to have a written contract
between the Part-145 organisation and the operator ensuring that all maintenance is ultimately
performed by a Part-145 organisation.
NOTE 3: All balloons operated for commercial air transport will continue to have their
maintenance managed and performed through the British Balloon and Airship Club (BBAC) until
further advice is provided.

(b) For aircraft engaged in commercial air transport, by way of derogation from the regu-
lation, the CAA has elected not to fully apply the provisions of Annex 1 (Part-M) Sub-
part I Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC), until 28 September 2007.
NOTE: It is intended that the Airworthiness Review Certificate process will be progressively
introduced together with non-expiring Certificates of Airworthiness, Appendix 3 of this
Airworthiness Notice refers.
(c) For aircraft not involved in commercial air transport, by way of derogation from the
regulation, the CAA has elected not to apply the provisions of Annex 1 (Part-M) until
28 September 2008, so aircraft operated for private use will not be required to comply
with the regulation until this date.
NOTE: The CAA will review the feasibility of introducing voluntary adoption of the necessary
approvals at an earlier date. (See implementation policy below.)
7.1 The planned CAA implementation policy for Annex 1 (Part-M) will be as follows:
• 28 September 2005 - Procedures and processes in place to accept applications from

individuals and non-commercial air transport organisations for the approval of Contin-
uing Airworthiness Management Organisations (Subpart G).
• 28 September 2006 - Procedures and processes in place to accept applications from
Part M Subpart G approved organisations for the additional privilege of recommending
and issuing Airworthiness Review Certificates (ARC).
• 31 December 2006 - Procedures and processes in place to accept applications for Part
M Subpart F maintenance organisation approval.
• 28 September 2008 - All aircraft subject to EASA requirements to be fully in compli-
ance with Part M.
7.2 It is intended to provide periodic updates to industry during the implementation of Part-M
(this will include, where necessary, explanatory and feedback workshops). The Industry
workshops are intially planned to take place between May and June 2006.
7.3 Aircraft that are currently operated for police, military or customs duties will carry on as
they are, pending a CAA review of national procedures. Further details can be found in
Airworthiness Notice No. 13.
7.4 Organisations registered in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man may apply to the CAA
for a Part-M Subpart G Approval. However, they will not be eligible for the additional
privilege of recommending or issuing Airworthiness Review Certificates.

respect to airworthiness certificates applicable for aircraft subject to Regulation (EC)
No.1592/2002.
2 APPLICABILITY
2.1 Aircraft subject to Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 are considered as EASA aircraft and shall
comply with this regulation.
2.2 Aircraft which are specified in Regulation (EC) No.1592/2002 Annex II are considered as
non-EASA aircraft and are not subject to this Regulation. These aircraft will remain subject
to UK legislation in accordance with the Air Navigation Order (ANO).
2.3 Aircraft engaged in military, police or customs service as specified in Article 1.2 of
Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 are considered as non-EASA aircraft and are not subject to
this Regulation. These aircraft will remain subject to UK legislation in accordance with the
Air Navigation Order (ANO).
NOTE: Non-EASA aircraft will remain eligible for Certificates of Airworthiness or Permits to Fly as
applicable issued in accordance with the ANO and British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR),
Section A/B.
3 COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
3.1 Regulation (EC) No 1702/2003, Part 21 Subpart H, which addresses Airworthiness
Certificates, became effective on the 28 September 2004. EASA aircraft are issued with
airworthiness certificates in accordance with Part 21 Subpart H.
NOTE 1: Airworthiness certificates include Certificates of Airworthiness (EASA Form 25), Restricted
Certificates of Airworthiness (EASA Form 24) and Permits to Fly (EASA Form 20).
NOTE 2: Part 21 Subpart H, 21A.181, requires a Certificate of Airworthiness to be issued for an
unlimited duration but, by way of derogation, Certificates of Airworthiness may continue to be issued
for a limited duration until 28 September 2008.
3.2 For implementation of Part 21 Subpart H, there will be a phased introduction of EASA
airworthiness certificates, at Certificate of Airworthiness renewal, prior to 28 September
2008.
4 INITIAL APPLICATION AND RENEWAL

4.1 Application for the issue of a Part 21 Subpart H Certificate of Airworthiness will need to be
made using Form CA3 (EASA).
4.2 Until 28 September 2008 an application for a renewal of a Certificate of Airworthiness will
be made using Form AD200 (EASA).
NOTE 1: A recommendation for renewal from a suitably approved organisation will be made using
Form AD202NR (EASA).
NOTE 2: Compliance with certain maintenance or operational requirements as referenced in
associated CAA publications is now predicated upon the purpose for which the aircraft is operated.
These publications have been amended to revise applicability dependent upon whether the aircraft
is operated for Private use, or for the purposes of Aerial Work or Public Transport.

NOTE 3: The definition of Private, Aerial Work and Public Transport is defined in Articles 157 through
163 inclusive of the Air Navigation Order 2005.
4.3 Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003 requires all aircraft to have a non-expiring Certificate of
Airworthiness by 28 September 2008. CAA have initiated a planned transition to non-
expiring documents in accordance with this regulation.
To facilitate this transition, until 28 September 2006, CAA will only issue or renew
Certificates of Airworthiness with a validity period of 12 months or 24 months (as
requested by the applicant). Thereafter, CAA will issue or renew such certificates for a 12
month validity period only.
4.4 From 28 September 2007 it is anticipated that non-expiring Part 21 Subpart H Certificates
of Airworthiness will be issued by the CAA. To validate these certificates, an Airworthiness
Review Certificate (ARC) (reference Part M Subpart 1), will initially be issued by the CAA
with a validity period of 12 months.
NOTE: With effect from 28 September 2008, for aircraft below 2730 Kg the airworthiness review
will not need to be aligned to an Annual Inspection. The approved organisation must however be
satisfied the aircraft is in compliance with the requirements of Part-M Subpart G M.A.710.
4.5 Until 28 September 2008 annual recommendations for renewal of an expiring C of A, may
be made by Organisations approved in accordance with BCAR A8-3 Supplement 2
(Group B1) or BCAR A8-15 (Group M3).
4.6 From 28 September 2008, recommendations for renewal of an ARC may only be made by
organisations approved in accordance with Part-M Subpart G who have been granted the
privilege of recommending the renewal of the ARC.
NOTE: Under EASA regulations a Part-M Subpart G organisation holding the additional privilege may
renew an ARC without making a recommendation to the CAA, where the aircraft is subject to a
managed environment under the control of the particular organisation. This process is described
under Part-M.

Cessna 300 And 400 Series Aircraft – Fuel Icing
1 Since 1973 there have been several cases of severe engine power loss on Cessna Models
310 and 421 aircraft. The power loss has been caused by icing of the fuel at the fuel man-
ifold valve. At the time of the early incidents the CAA informed all owners and operators of
the affected aircraft of the problem, and subsequently prescribed limitations relating to
minimum ambient air temperatures and the use of Isopropyl Alcohol.
2 Cessna Aircraft Company subsequently issued Service Letter ME 73-25 drawing attention
to the use of fuel additives for cold weather operation. This Service Letter only contained
recommendations for application, and quoted a different ambient air temperature for use
of the fuel additive. This notice overrides the temperature limitation laid down in Cessna
Service Letter ME 73-25.
3 There have been further cases reported of power loss on Cessna 421 aircraft in 1975, and
the CAA feels that the original advice of the limitations imposed may not have found its
way to new owners.
4 The CAA, therefore, draws the attention of all operators of Cessna 300 and 400 Series air-
craft fitted with Continental fuel injection engines to the fact that to avoid power loss the
following must be observed.
4.1 If the aircraft is to be flown in ambient temperatures of -23°C (-10°F) or below, then
Isopropyl Alcohol in a concentration of 1% by volume must be blended into the fuel.
4.2 Continental Aircraft Engine Service Bulletin M 73-3 Revision 1, dated August 13th 1973,
gives guide lines on the blending of the alcohol into the fuel. Isopropyl Alcohol to
Specification BS 1595 or MIL-F-5556 is acceptable.

Issue of EASA Permit to Fly, Replacing ANO ‘A’ and ‘B’ Conditions and some
BCAR Permits to Fly for Test or Ferry Purposes
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This Notice has been issued to provide guidance to owners/operators of aircraft, approved
design, maintenance and production organisations and licensed aircraft maintenance
engineers, on a change in legislation resulting from the implementation of Part 21 Subpart
H, which came into force on 28 September 2004.
1.2 European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003 makes provision for an EASA Permit
to Fly to be issued for an aircraft to fly when a valid EASA airworthiness certificate is
currently not in force. An EASA Permit to Fly may be issued where it can be shown that
associated restrictions and compensating factors enable the aircraft to carry out a flight or
series of flights safely. The procedures described in this notice are an interim measure to
comply with the above referenced regulation until such time as EASA publishes formal
procedures.
1.3 For aircraft required to have an airworthiness certificate issued under European
Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003 (EASA aircraft), flight under the auspices of A
or B conditions, and BCAR Permits to Fly for test or ferry purposes only, is no longer a legal
permission for flight.
1.4 Article 8(2)(d) and Article 11 of the Air Navigation Order (ANO) 2005 allows the use of A or
B conditions and Permits to Fly in respect of non-EASA aircraft only.
NOTE: Aircraft which are engaged in Military, Police, Customs or similar services or are within the
categories defined in Annex II of European Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002, are not subject to
European Commission Regulations.
2 APPLICABILITY
2.1 This Notice is applicable to aircraft that are within the applicability of European Regulation
(EC) No. 1592/2002; (the “EASA Regulation”).
NOTE 1: For the purposes of this Airworthiness Notice, aircraft that are required to comply with
European Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 are specified as “EASA Aircraft”.
NOTE 2: Airworthiness certificates for EASA aircraft are prescribed in Part 21 Subpart H as follows:
(a) Certificate of Airworthiness (Form 25)
(b) Restricted Certificate of Airworthiness (Form 24)
(c) Permit to Fly (Form 20)
NOTE 3: A valid Certificate of Airworthiness in the Transport, Aerial Work or Private Category issued
by the CAA to an EASA aircraft prior to the 28 September 2004, shall be deemed to be an EASA
Certificate of Airworthiness.
2.2 Where there is a need to fly an EASA aircraft when an EASA airworthiness certificate is not
in force or a flight is necessary for the issue of such a certificate, an application will need
to be made for an EASA Permit to Fly. The process for such an application and the
procedures to be followed are detailed in the subsequent paragraphs of this Notice.
2.3 POST MAINTENANCE CHECK FLIGHTS

This type of 'check flight' is to confirm the acceptability of an aircraft or helicopter, post
maintenance (this includes 'check flights' required after series installation of modifications
which have been previously approved by EASA). The flight crew monitors the performance
and reports back that the systems are acceptable, or further adjustment required. If a
report for adjustment is called for, then it is accomplished and certified. A further check
flight may be carried out to confirm the acceptability of the system.
This type of activity is included in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (or within the installation
instructions for EASA approved modifications). As the instructions for continuing
airworthiness issued by the TC/Modification Approval Holder are being followed, the C of
A remains valid. This is supported by Part-145.A.50 (e) that allows a CRS to be issued with
incomplete maintenance. Therefore, provided that there is an open tech log entry for the
flight crew to carry out the 'check' flight and to report back, the requirements of Part-145
are still met and the C of A remains valid. There is no requirement in this case for the issue
of an EASA Permit to Fly.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineers' Licences – Type Ratings

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 When reading this document, the reader must take into account Commission Regulation
(EC) No. 2042/2003. The Commission Regulation is a legal document, which applies to the
UK aviation industry.
1.2 This Airworthiness Notice No. 10 sets out the Type Ratings that may be endorsed upon a
BCAR Section L for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers' Licence or a Part-66 Aircraft
Maintenance Licence issued by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority in respect of
the certification of aircraft registered in the United Kingdom, including also their engines
and systems.
NOTE 1: A licence can only be used to certify for non-commercial air transport. Aircraft which are
operated for commercial air transport must be maintained by a Part-145 Approved Organisation and
all staff who certify for maintenance within those organisations must be in possession of a valid
certifying authorisation (see Airworthiness Notice No. 14).
NOTE 2: As of 28 September 2008 Certification of Maintenance on aircraft using a licence as
authority is limited to items which are not listed at Part-M Appendix VII.
1.3 Following the full implementation of JAR-66 on 1 June 2001, type ratings in respect of
types of aircraft of 5700 kg MTOM and above, or the engines or systems fitted to such
aircraft, are not available to holders of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers’ Licences issued
under Issue 14 and subsequent issues of BCAR Section L which came into effect on 1
June 2001. Part-66 replaced JAR-66 in the UK as of June 2004 for aeroplanes above
5700 kg and November 2004 for all other aircraft. Holders of licences granted under earlier
issues of Section L, and which already include the appropriate LWTR, may continue to
apply for such type ratings until the privileges are transferred to a Part-66 licence. Full
information may be found in BCAR Section L Issue 14.
2 GENERAL
2.1 The requirements for the grant, extension and renewal of BCAR Section L Aircraft
Maintenance Engineers' Licences are contained in the current Issue of BCAR Section L.
For full understanding of the requirements, Section L must be read in conjunction with this
2.2 The requirements for the grant, variation or renewal of Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance
Licences are contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003. For full
understanding of the requirements, Part-66 within Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2042/
2003 must be read in conjunction with Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) to Part-66
and Guidance Material to Part-66, this Airworthiness Notice No. 10 and, where appropriate,
Part-145. Part-66 Category B1 licences issued by the UK CAA may also allow the
certification, under the provisions of Articles 14 and 16 of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (as
amended), for work outside of a CAA approved maintenance organisation on aircraft which
are not operated for commercial air transport. Such privileges are limited to UK registered
aircraft only. Certifications may only be made for those aircraft types which are endorsed
individually or as Group Type Ratings on the licence, otherwise, a Part-66 licence must be
used in conjunction with a Part-145 certification authorisation (see Part-145 and
Airworthiness Notice No. 3).

2.3 The requirements of BCAR Section L and Part-66 recognise the standards prescribed by
the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) for the grant and extension of licences.

The requirements for the grant, variation or renewal of Aircraft Maintenance Licences are
contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003. It is possible to obtain aircraft
type ratings in accordance with the provisions of this requirement. This includes aircraft
which are listed above in paragraph 14 of this Notice and aircraft which are registered and
operated in another JAA member state but which are maintained under a Part-145
approval.
The aircraft types are listed in Appendix 1 to Part 66 (AMC) and will be granted only where
Part-147 approved type training has been completed to the appropriate Category B1, B2 or
C syllabus and the required practical experience, if appropriate, can be demonstrated.
Current Section L licence holders will be entitled to protected rights under Commission
Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003 on existing licence and authorisation privileges. Section L
group type ratings may be transferred directly onto Part-66 licences, except for purposes
of reflecting continuing National privileges, identified as Annex II aircraft of Commission
Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002, where, for the time being, BCAR Section L Licences will
be retained for certification purposes.

The Rebuilding and Restoration of Aircraft

1 INTRODUCTION
The CAA has been made aware that additional guidance is necessary for those engaged in
the rebuilding or long term restoration of aircraft, to alert them to the airworthiness
requirements and the monitoring of such projects by the Civil Aviation Authority Regional
Offices.
2 APPLICABILITY
2.1 This notice is applicable to aircraft that have previously held a UK Certificate of
Airworthiness or Permit to Fly.
3 DEFINITION
3.1 Restoration is a generic term that may include any one or combination of overhaul, repair,
inspection, modification or replacement activity, which is to be performed on an aircraft
where the UK Certificate of Airworthiness or Permit to Fly has lapsed for some years. Such
an aircraft is likely to require extensive dismantling and inspection to determine the extent
of work needed to restore it to an airworthy standard.
3.2 Aircraft rebuild projects include the return to an airworthy condition of any aircraft where
the UK Certificate of Airworthiness or Permit to Fly has ceased to be in force due, for
example, to accident or incident damage, the use of major parts from other aircraft of the
same type, significant corrosion or major overhaul.
4 BACKGROUND
4.1 From time to time the CAA is not made aware of major restoration or rebuild projects until
they have reached the final stages of completion. This means that the necessary CAA
stage inspections or surveys have not been carried out.
4.2 In many restoration cases the necessary repairs, including the production of parts no longer
available from the original manufacturer, have not used approved data such as the original
manufacturer's repair manual or design drawings, and have been outside the scope of the
certification privileges of the Licensed Engineer. A number of rebuild projects have used
structural components and major assemblies where the provenance and traceability of the
parts fitted has been questionable.
4.3 For aircraft which held Certificates of Airworthiness, all replacement parts must either
conform to the part number specified by the manufacturer for the particular aircraft type,
model and serial number, or be approved under modification procedures in accordance
with BCARs or EASA Regulations, as applicable. All replacement parts from whatever
source must be serviceable and accompanied by appropriate documentation.
4.4 In the cases described in paragraphs 1 and 2 there have been delays in the CAA approval
of the project and subsequent issue of the Certificate of Airworthiness or Permit to Fly and
in some cases dismantling has been required to enable inspections to take place which
could have been avoided by regular contact between the Licensed Engineer (or owners)
and CAA Regional Offices.

5 REQUIREMENTS
5.1 The attention of Certifying Engineers concerned with major rebuilding projects or the long
term restoration of aircraft is directed to the relevant chapters of BCAR Section A/B, EU
Regulations 1702/2002 and 2042/2003, as applicable. Reference should be made to the
table below to assure compliance with the relevant regulations.
Requirement Non EASA EASA Aircraft

Aircraft
It must be shown that the aircraft conforms to BCAR A/B3-2 Part 21.A.181
type design and any repairs and changes conform Paragraph 1.3 and 21.A.183
to appropriate data.
The aircraft must be constructed under the super- BCAR A3-2 Par- Part 145.A.42
vision of an organisation approved by the CAA for agraph 4 and M.A.501
the purpose. The restorer or rebuilder must show
proof that the major components proposed for
use on the restored or rebuilt aircraft are original,
i.e. were manufactured by or for the organisation
who obtained the first Certificate of Airworthiness
or Type Certificate for the aircraft or that they are
an approved alternative. Failure to provide suffi-
cient proof will result in the aircraft being refused
either a Certificate of Airworthiness or a Permit to
Fly.
A Certificate of Release to Service shall only be BCAR A/B6-2 ANO Article

issued for overhaul, repair, replacement, modifica- Paragraph 8 and 16, 17, Part
tion or inspection when the signatory is satisfied ANO Article 16 145.A.50 or
that the work has been properly carried out having or 17 as applica- M.A.801, as
due regard to the use of manuals, drawings, spec- ble applicable
ifications and the use of calibrated tooling.
In the case of structural repairs to aircraft, where BCAR A/B6-7 Part 21 Sub
the repairs are of a major nature or not covered in Paragraph 2 Part M
a particular Repair Manual, the Approved Organi-
sation or the appropriately licensed maintenance
engineer concerned, must be able to demonstrate
all repairs are appropriately approved.
All modifications/ changes, except those which BCAR A/B2-5 Part 21 Sub
are agreed by the CAA to be of such a nature that Paragraph 2.1.4 Part D
airworthiness is not affected, shall be approved.
AIRCRAFT WITH PERMITS TO FLY

All of the above references apply to aircraft with Certificates of Airworthiness. For
aircraft holding Permits to Fly, the CAA needs to be satisfied that similar standards
have been achieved, including, as far as possible, reference to original drawings and
data. This should include compliance with the Airworthiness Approval Note for the
particular aircraft being restored (these aircraft are not accepted by the CAA as
series aircraft).
6 PROCEDURES
6.1 In the case of a rebuilding or restoration project expected to exceed fifteen months
duration, the local CAA Regional Office (see Airworthiness Notice 29 Appendix 2 for UK
Regional Office addresses) must be advised of the project at the earliest opportunity. This

will allow for a preliminary assessment by a Regional Office Surveyor of the extent of the
restoration work required and initial acceptance of the applicant's proposals regarding
sourcing of parts and components to be used in the restoration.
6.2 Normally, if the Regional Office Surveyor decides that the restoration or rebuilding project
is of such a magnitude that regular inspections will be necessary, a Special Survey will be
needed. Alternatively, it may be necessary, by virtue of the extent of the rebuild or
restoration required, that a major modification will be needed instead of a Special Survey
to record and approve the proposed repairs or replacements. If this is the case the Regional
Office Surveyor will advise the potential applicant accordingly.
6.3 An application for a Special Survey should be made by the owner to Applications &
Certifications Department at Aviation House, Gatwick (see Airworthiness Notice No. 29
Appendix 1).
6.4 Following acceptance by CAA of an application for a Special Survey it will not be necessary
to make an application for the subsequent issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness or the
renewal of the Permit to Fly, as the case may be, until the final stages of completion unless
a modification / change which has not previously been approved is to be embodied on the
aircraft. In some cases it may be that following a Special Survey no recommendation can
be made by the Regional Office Surveyor for the renewal of the Certificate of Airworthiness
or Permit to Fly. In these cases the applicant will be advised of the reasons why the aircraft
could not attain certification and any Certificate of Airworthiness or Permit to Fly fee
already paid will be refunded. The cost of the Special Survey will however still have to be
met by the applicant.

Experience From Incidents
1 From time to time incidents occur, usually in aircraft operations, which, in the opinion of
the CAA, reflect the need for a general awareness of possible hazard resulting from
practices which may have a wide general application. The purpose of this Notice is to
advise all concerned, particularly design and engineering staff engaged in aircraft
construction or operation, of such incidents which have come to the notice of the CAA, and
where necessary to prescribe action to be taken.
2 New incidents will be advised in Appendices to this Notice, and the List of Current
Appendices will be updated with each issue. Periodically older appendices will be

Emergency Escape Provisions – Doors and Escape Slides

1 During several emergency evacuations, difficulty has been experienced in opening aircraft
doors and in deploying the associated inflatable escape slides. Subsequent investigations
have shown that the difficulties were due to various reasons such as incorrect rigging of
door assist mechanisms, incorrect packing of the inflatable, incorrect installation, safety
pins being left in, ageing/wear of items, design shortcomings, fitment of incorrect parts. In
a significant proportion of cases however, no reason for failure could be determined.
2 Current maintenance requirements include regular inspection, inflation checks and over-
haul of the escape slide assembly. However, this may not give an indication of faults or
deterioration that could result in the evacuation system not being available for its intended
purpose. It is considered therefore, that slides should be tested on the aircraft by opening
the doors with the slides armed and a check made to ensure that they deploy and inflate
correctly as expected in an emergency evacuation. It is appreciated that this alone will not
guarantee correct future operation of all slides on any particular aircraft, but it will provide
a level of confidence on the reliability of slide and door operation.
3 For all aircraft fitted with inflatable escape slides which are automatically deployed by the
opening of emergency exits, slides must be deployed as part of a slide deployment pro-
gramme on the aircraft by the automatic release and inflation of the slide in accordance
with paragraph 3.1 or 3.2 of this notice. It is recommended that when feasible the slide
deployment should be carried out by cabin crew, in order to better replicate the emergency
condition.
3.1 Every slide on the aircraft should be deployed when it becomes due for overhaul in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommended intervals. This period should not
exceed 36 months.
3.2 Operators can develop a slide deployment sampling programme, with the agreement of
the CAA as part of the Approved Maintenance Programme. This programme must ensure
that, on each aircraft type, a sample of at least 10 or 10%, whichever is the greater, of all
the exits in the fleet, will have been deployed within an elapsed period of not more than
two years. The sampling programme must ensure a reasonably uniform distribution of the
exits on that aircraft type. Inadvertent slide deployments should not be included in the
slide deployment sampling programme but should still be investigated if the slide fails to
deploy correctly.
4 Details of the operators slide deployment programme should be included in the Approved
Maintenance Programme or Schedule.
5 Every operator should define it’s own pass / fail criteria which should be accepted by the
local Regional Office. The pass / fail criteria should be based on any recommendations
made by the aircraft or slide manufacturer and would be expected to include at least the
following as failures:
• Failure of the automatic deployment system (i.e. manual inflation required);
• Failure of the door to fully open;
• Door assist failure (if fitted);
• Failure to fully inflate;

• Failure to fully inflate within 10 seconds (unless otherwise specified by the manufac-
turer). Timing is from when the door is initially actuated until the slide is deployed in
a useable state;
• Complete failure of slide lights to illuminate
All the above failures must be reported to the authority using the mandatory occurrence
reporting (MOR) scheme and to the aircraft type certificate holder.
6 To assist in the slide deployment failure investigation, unless otherwise agreed by the
CAA, all slide deployments must be recorded by video or other similar means and copies
of failed deployments should be held for a minimum of one year or until any MOR or inves-
tigation into the failure has been closed. A copy should be made available to the CAA on
request.
7 All slide deployment failures must be investigated to determine the cause of failure and ac-
tion taken to prevent similar occurrences. The type certificate holder and escape slide man-
ufacturer should be kept informed of failure investigations and provide assistance where
possible. If there are either high levels of slide failures or slide failure causes cannot be
determined it may be necessary, in conjunction with the CAA to carry out further deploy-
ment tests, increase the paragraph 3.2 sampling size or remove MEL alleviation until a sat-
isfactory level of reliability is achieved.
8 For each deployment test the door / slide position, slide part number, pass or fail result,
date of manufacture of the slide, failure mode and failure cause should be recorded. Op-
erators should forward a summary of slide deployment testing at regular intervals for each
aircraft type to the appropriate CAA Regional Office. This summary should include the fol-
lowing information: Number of aircraft in fleet, number of deployments carried out and
overall pass rate for fleet.
9 Due to the complexity and safety critical nature of escape slide systems it is recommended
that Maintenance Organisations involved in the installation, maintenance and overhaul of
escape slides should implement duplicate or independent inspections on critical tasks i.e.
slide installation, firing mechanism connections, girt bar installation and rigging, door assist
deactivation / slide safety pin removal. Consideration should also be given to the training
and competence of personnel involved with the packing, installation, inspection and over-
haul of escape slides.
10 Operators should review all escape slide continued airworthiness instructions from the
type certificate holder and escape slide manufacturer including service bulletins and serv-
ice letters and consider embodiment where there may be improvements in escape slide
reliability.
When an Operator changes maintenance providers i.e. slide overhauler or aircraft
maintenance organisation it must review the slide deployment programme to monitor the
affects of such changes on the fleet escape slide reliability.

Retention of Records - Post Incident and Accident Investigations

1 During an investigation into an engine failure resulting in an air turn back and emergency
landing, the record keeping and retention of record period was found to be inadequate and
incomplete. Considerable difficulty was experienced during the investigation in tracing the
maintenance actions taken during the overhaul of the engine crankshaft which was identi-
fied as the cause of the engine failure.
2 Aircraft operators and maintenance organisations are reminded of their responsibility to re-
tain adequate and complete maintenance records as specified and referenced in the fol-
lowing paragraphs for the periods listed.
3 The requirements for retention of maintenance records for aircraft operated in accordance
with JAR-OPS are defined in JAR-OPS 1.920 and JAR-OPS 3.920. These requirements
clearly place the responsibility for retention of detailed records with the operator, and in-
clude details of where an aircraft, engine, propeller, rotor and transmission components, or
any vital component is repaired or modified.
4 Part-145 approved maintenance organisations need only retain a copy of all detailed main-
tenance records for two years from the date the aircraft or aircraft component was re-
leased from the Part-145 organisation (Part-145.A.55). If contracted to keep records on
behalf of the Operator then the retention period will be that required by JAR-OPS 1.920.
5 The requirements for retention of records for all other aircraft registered in the United King-
dom should be as defined in the Air Navigation Order Article 22. This requires the Operator
of the aircraft to keep Aircraft, Engine and Propeller Log Books. The Log Books must in-
clude particulars as specified in the ANO Schedule 6 which include:
• Paragraph 1(e). Particulars of all maintenance work carried out on the aircraft or its
equipment.
• Paragraph 1(g). Particulars of any overhauls, repairs, replacements and modifications
relating to the aircraft.
Also note; any document which is incorporated by reference in a log book shall be part of
the log book and it is the duty of the Operator to keep the above records. Every Log Book
shall be preserved by the Operator of the aircraft until 2 years after the aircraft has been
destroyed or has been permanently withdrawn from use.
6 Consequently, if a Part-145 approved maintenance organisation carries out work (overhaul,

inspection, repair, modification or replacements) on an aircraft NOT operated in accordance
with JAR-OPS, then the record retention requirements are as required by the Air Naviga-
tion Order.

Seat Belts in Light Aircraft - Orientation of Stitched Joints

1 An investigation into a fatal accident involving a light aircraft concluded that the seat belt
failed during a forced landing. The orientation of the stitched joint on the harness and its
interaction with a hard object, probably a trouser belt buckle, was cited as the probable
cause of the failure.
2 A high proportion of light aircraft seat belts have the release box, tongue and overlap stitch-
ing positioned so that they fall well to the side or behind the occupant’s body when in-
stalled and adjusted. These belts are considered satisfactory and are excluded from this
notice. Care should be taken to ensure that any overlapped joints do fall behind the body
on all occasions allowing for all reasonable variations of adjustment of the seat belt to ac-
commodate a full range of adult human body height and girth.
3 Where the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) provides instructions on the installa-
tion of their seat belts / harnesses, these should be followed.
4 In the absence of OEM instructions, the CAA would advise using the following best prac-
tice.
4.1 During routine maintenance and inspection by owners, the Popular Flying Association, the
British Microlight Aircraft Association, licensed aircraft maintenance engineers and
approved maintenance organisations, the joint between harness webbing and metal
components (release boxes, tongues and adjusters) should be checked.
4.2 Where the webbing reversed overlapped and stitched sections are orientated towards the
body, if practical, the joint orientation should be reversed.

MIL-W-22759/16 AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL WIRE

1 BACKGROUND
Electrical wires meeting the MIL-W-22759/16,17,18 and 19 specifications have a single
non-cross linked ETFE extruded insulation.
Although not generally recommended by large aircraft manufacturers, this type of wire
construction is and continues to be in widespread use within the aircraft industry. The
acceptability of this wire type is referenced in a number of industry and regulatory
documents, e.g. FAA AC 43.13-1B, FAA Policy Memorandum Ref No.PS-ACE100-2004-
10023 and SAE AS50881.
Although this wire can be suitable for a wide range of applications it is recognised that
there are a number of performance limitations with this type of wire construction that
should be reviewed before the wire can be assessed as suitable for use in a specific
application.
2 LIMITATIONS
The following are known performance limitations:
(a) The insulation of this wire type can lose its mechanical properties (begin to melt)
when the wire is subjected to high fault currents or is influenced by an external heat
source.
(b) The single extrusion insulation provides limited protection against the propagation of
insulation surface damage through to the conductor. Cracks and nicks can readily
propagate through to the conductor.
NOTE: Generally, modern approved airframe wires have two or more insulation layers
specifically to provide stress relief protection against the propagation of insulation surface
damage through to the conductor.
(c) Non-crosslinked ETFE insulation may not meet expected abrasion or cut-through per-
formance levels, e.g. EN3475-503.
(d) Although the flammability test method described in MIL-W-22759/16,17,18,19 pro-
vides a good assessment of the flame characteristics of this wire, the test method
does not exactly correlate to the 60° flame test in the Certification Specifications (e.g.
CS25), which is necessary to show compliance.
3 DISCUSSION
Aircraft equipment should always be assessed for its suitability for use (fit for purpose) and
compliance with the relevant certification requirements. The use of this type of wire is not
automatically acceptable for the reasons stated above. Particular care must therefore be
taken when selecting this wire type to ensure that it meets all installation and regulatory
requirements and is fit for its intended application.
4 REQUIREMENT
Users of MIL-W-22759/16,17,18,19 wire and similar wire constructions shall determine the
following specific data and information for each application of the wire to demonstrate
compliance with the applicable airworthiness requirements:
(a) The installation of the wire shall be assessed as appropriate to its intended application
and environment. The proximity of external heat sources shall be considered in par-
ticular.

When selecting wires that are different to the existing manufacturer’s installed
wiring, the performance characteristics of the existing wiring and the new wiring shall
be compared and any differences shall be determined as acceptable.
(b) The wire must be kept within acceptable operating parameters that accommodates
the circuit protection levels, as well as environmental and circuit heating. (Note: it is
undesirable to allow a temperature rise due to electrical heating of more than 40°C
above ambient).
(c) The installation design shall mitigate the abrasion hazard to the cable insulation. It
shall also be established that the cable is compatible with other wire constructions in
the same bundle.
(d) It shall be shown that the wire type to be used meets, as a minimum, the appropriate
airworthiness fire test requirements (e.g. CS 25.869 (a)(4), Appendix F Part 1(a) (3),
CS23.1359 (c) Appendix F, CS27.1365(c), CS29.1359(c) etc.)
(e) The design assessment of the wire selection shall establish any maintenance or in-
spection procedures with appropriate intervals to ensure the continued airworthiness
of the wire insulation, as appropriate.

Control Cable End Fittings

1 In November 2001 the CAA received information from the FAA of a NTSB investigation of
control cable end fittings. The NTSB has investigated the failure of flight control cable end
fittings on six aircraft. Four of the failures occurred in-flight, although not leading to serious
accident or loss of life.
2 Additional end fittings from some of the incident aircraft as well as from four other aircraft
were examined and found cracked. Most of the end fittings had fractured or cracked in a
transverse manner through the shaft on the threaded end of the fitting close to the span-
ner/wrench flats. A few showed evidence of cracking in the swaged portion of the fitting.
3 The NTSB investigation identified a number of common features to the failures and crack-
ing of the end fittings:
• The material of manufacture of the fittings was a free machining stainless steel grade
containing selenium and a high sulphur content.
• The fittings surfaces were generally corrosion pitted. Where locking wire was
wrapped around the fitting it was noted that the pits had a higher density beneath the
wire.
• The predominant fracture mode was stress corrosion cracking, initiated at corrosion
pits.
4 Stress corrosion cracking only occurs under specific environmental conditions, in suscep-
tible materials when tensile stresses are induced in the material. The end fittings examined
were all taken from light aircraft which had been in service for at least 20 years, however
the specific environmental conditions that caused the corrosion have not been identified.
Although, not all stainless steels end fittings are considered susceptible, it is not possible
to identify the grade of stainless steel used for a fitting by inspection.
5 The initial indication of degradation would be surface pitting of the steel. As the attack
progresses surface breaking cracks will become evident, and possibly staining and discol-
ouration of the steel.
6 It is recommended that all control cable end fittings are inspected for degradation when
access allows.

Ice Falls From Aircraft

1 BACKGROUND
1.1 In recent years, the CAA has received numerous reports regarding damage to property caused
by blue or clear ice falling from aircraft. During the six year period 1997 – 2002, over 200 ice
fall reports within the UK were received by the CAA and whilst in the majority of cases it was
not possible to identify the offending aircraft it is known that the ice in most of these cases
emanated from toilet system servicing points on the aircraft.
1.2 On several occasions, where an accurate incident time and location have been provided, ATC
radar replays have been able to identify a specific aircraft responsible for the ice fall and follow
up investigations have been able to identify an aircraft defect responsible for the ice build-up.
Reports received by the CAA show that ice falls from aircraft occur throughout the year,
mainly during descent and in the majority of cases affect properties located under approach
paths into the UK’s major airports. On those days when higher ambient temperatures exist at
lower levels the ice may well melt, reaching the ground as slush or fluid.
1.3 The majority of ice accumulations recovered following such incidents are reported as being
blue or clear in colour – the blue ice emanating from leaking toilet system servicing points,
whereas the clear ice in the majority of cases is believed to come from leaking water system
servicing or overflow points. In one incident where significant damage was caused to the roof
of a house it was found that the responsible aircraft’s water tank overflow valve was stuck
open.
1.4 Damage to property has ranged from significant damage to house roofs, conservatories,
greenhouses, garages and other buildings to cracked car windscreens. Reported sizes of ice
range from “pellet” or “melon” size up to the size of a “bag of cement”. Whilst there are
reports of people on the ground having been struck by falling ice and suffering minor injury, to
date there have been no known fatalities.
1.5 Quite apart from the potential for falling ice to damage property and cause a hazard to people,
ice detaching from an aircraft can present a serious airworthiness threat. There are several
cases on record of extensive damage being caused to mainplanes, stabilizers and engines by
ice detaching from leaking toilet system servicing points.
1.6 Several aircraft have over the years suffered engine detachment during flight due to being
struck by ice accumulating at leaking toilet system servicing points. In one case, a large
commercial air transport aircraft had a long history of the forward toilet not flushing due to the
toilet system repeatedly losing its fluid charge. Eventually, the No. 3 engine detached during
cruise at 35,000 ft after being hit by a large piece of ice that became detached from the
forward toilet system servicing panel. Damage to engine intakes and compressor sections is
not uncommon.
1.7 Toilet system fluid readily promotes corrosion and if allowed to leak past toilet system
servicing panel sealing arrangements can be forced by the airflow into difficult to access
structures (e.g. lap joints) and may well eventually result in the need for expensive repairs to
pressure hull boundary structures.
1.8 Aircraft operators should be aware that during ramp audits of aircraft by the CAA and indeed
by overseas regulatory authorities, any evidence of leakage/staining at toilet and water system
servicing points may well result in the aircraft being delayed whilst investigations are carried
out. Cases are on record where aircraft with no leaks but with previous staining not removed
have been delayed for investigation during such audits.
1.9 It should be noted that what might appear to be a small seep/leak on the ground past toilet
system servicing point seals will be significantly greater when the aircraft is pressurised.

REMEMBER
THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE LEAK IS NO LEAK!!
2 OPERATOR, MAINTENANCE AND GROUND HANDLING ORGANISATION RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 Whilst toilet and water system details vary between aircraft types, the operating concepts and
philosophies are of course similar and operators, maintenance and ground handling
organisations should bear the following points in mind.
• Operators must ensure that personnel employed by contracted ground handling
companies who provide toilet and water system servicing to the aircraft are fully aware
of the reasons for and potential hazards associated with blue/clear ice. Ground handling
personnel should be provided with instruction in Aircraft Maintenance Manual procedures
for toilet and water system servicing. Continuation training programmes should ensure
that these aspects are revisited as and when required. Ground handling personnel should
be advised of the need to report leakage, damage or any servicing difficulties to
maintenance personnel for corrective action.
• Reports of inoperative toilet flush and water systems especially where the fluid charge is
being lost should be investigated and rectified without delay.
• Galley and toilet sinks that refuse to drain in flight are often an indication of a failed drain
mast heater and therefore another possible source of ice accumulation.
• Operators should ensure that the aircraft maintenance programme contains all the
manufacturer’s recommendations for the maintenance of such systems.
• Operator and maintenance organisation quality departments should include inspection of
toilet and water system servicing points for evidence of leakage and satisfactory condition
of sealing arrangements in aircraft audit programmes.
• Where leaks are found prior to flight and cannot be rectified, the system should be drained
and the toilet placarded INOPERATIVE – reference should be made to the aircraft’s MEL.
• Where dents/damage to engine intake lips, compressor blades, stabilizer leading edges
etc. are seen with no readily apparent reason for such damage, consideration should be
given to the damage having been caused by the detachment of ice from toilet or water
system servicing points forward of the damaged area.
• Where blue streaking/staining from toilet servicing panels is evident with nil apparent
leaks, consideration should be given to the possibility of inadequate servicing procedures
having been used.
• Whilst obviously all Airworthiness Directives applicable to such systems must be
complied with all non mandatory service bulletins and modifications should be carefully
assessed for application to such systems.
• Toilet and water system servicing point sealing arrangements must be maintained
serviceable at all times and should receive the same level of attention as afforded to any
other aircraft system.
• Leakage from otherwise fully serviceable toilet systems has on occasions been caused
by items such as soap dispensers and disposable nappies being placed in toilets and
becoming lodged under the toilet dump valve assembly. Placards located adjacent to the
toilet showing prohibited items should be maintained legible at all times.
• Toilet systems servicing panel areas should be kept clean and free of staining to assist in
the early detection of leaks. Following any leak rectification, maintenance personnel
should ensure that any staining/contamination is removed otherwise any future leaks may
well go undetected. Operators should consider the implementation of a cleaning
programme for toilet servicing panel areas to assist the prompt detection of leaks.

MODE “S” TRANSPONDER ICAO 24-BIT AIRCRAFT ADDRESSES
1 CAA have become aware of incorrect 24-bit addresses being installed/hard wired on indi-
vidual aircraft. This has happened not only on first installation of a Mode S transponder but
also when a modification has been made or following a change of State of Registration.
Incorrect installation, such as setting the address to all zeros or inadvertent duplication of
an address, can pose a risk to flight safety. In particular, the airborne collision avoidance
system (ACAS) operates on the assumption that only a single, and therefore unique 24-bit
aircraft address exists per airframe. The performance of ACAS can be seriously degraded
and in some cases disabled if an incorrect or duplicate address is installed on an aircraft.
2 ICAO has recognised that the present management methodology of aircraft 24-bit address-
es presents a genuine safety hazard that needs to be addressed and suitably mitigated in
any system that is to make use of the Mode S address. CAA have issued AIC 94/2004 (yel-
low 151) dated 14 October 2004 in order to make the operating community aware of this
issue. This appendix to Airworthiness Notice No. 12 is published to make the maintenance
community similarly aware as it affects them.
3 In order to ensure that the 24-bit Mode S address is installed correctly at the time of initial
CAA certificate of airworthiness issue, as well as throughout the in-service life of the air-
craft and at the time it leaves the UK register, the following should be accomplished:
(a) A positive check that the correct Mode S address is assigned for each transponder
installed on the aircraft.
(b) The correct Mode S address is periodically confirmed for each transponder installed
on the aircraft, via a field test set at an appropriate maintenance opportunity (not to
exceed a 2 year periodicity). This task should be incorporated into the Approved
Maintenance Schedule or Programme.
(c) Ensure whenever the aircraft is subject to modification that the Mode S address has
not been changed.
(d) The UK assigned Mode S address is removed when the aircraft leaves the UK
register.
4 Operators are requested to review their documented procedures and update them, as ap-
propriate, to ensure the above points are addressed. These procedures should also include
a method to record that the applicable actions have been accomplished.
5 Reference should also be made to CAP 562 - Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Information and
Procedures (CAAIP) Leaflet No. 9-5 which contains advice on testing criteria for Transpond-
ers.
NOTE: With the introduction of Mode S Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance functionality, within
the transponder, it is envisaged that additional testing of the transponder will be required on a
periodic basis (not to exceed 2 years). Notification of revised testing requirements will be included in
a future issue of CAAIP Leaflet No. 9-5.

FOREIGN OBJECT DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT AND ENGINES

1 BACKGROUND
1.1 The CAA continues to receive reports of damage to aircraft and engines caused by foreign
objects (FOD). Foreign object damage presents a serious airworthiness threat to any
aircraft not to mention the economic impact on the operator. In extreme cases, FOD can
lead to an accident and loss of life. FOD damage to airframes and engines can be extremely
expensive to rectify and may result in the aircraft being removed from revenue service for
significant periods of time. There are numerous reports on record of FOD damage to
engines (in particular rotating assemblies), nose and main landing gear assemblies and
aircraft structure.
1.2 Recent audits of airports, including a 10-month study at one major UK international airport,
have revealed that a continuing threat exists from varying amounts of FOD present on
aircraft maintenance areas and airport-manoeuvring areas, including stands, aircraft
taxiways and runways. The study showed the aircraft themselves as the main cause of
FOD on the runway and this poses the highest immediate risk. Here, parts of aircraft
become detached or tools and equipment, inadvertently left in the aircraft fall out during
take off or landing. The largest item found on a runway was a wheel chock but metal panels
and honeycomb structure were also amongst the larger items. The FOD found on taxiways
and stands came mainly from airport vehicles and the equipment they tow such as
baggage trolleys, steps, cargo equipment etc. The size and shape of some of this FOD
makes it likely to cause tyre damage and subsequent tyre burst. The cleaning of aircraft
cabins and the transfer of waste from cabin to airside rubbish containers is also seen to be
a common source of FOD in the stand areas. Other typical FOD consists of such items as
oil cans, spanners, pliers, engineers torches, suitcase items (both internal & external),
mobile radios, aircraft catering equipment, cutlery, landing gear ground lock pins, thrust
reverser lock-out pins and broken parts of ground servicing equipment/vehicles.
1.3 Smaller items could be ingested by an engine. In many cases, FOD damage to engine
rotating assemblies has led to vibration leading to air turn-backs, diversions and
subsequent engine replacement. Boroscope inspections of engines following reports of
engine surging very often reveal internal damage to the engine – such damage can of
course be very expensive to repair. Typically, damage to the aircraft can range from
damage to horizontal stabilizer leading edges to pressure hull penetration by objects
thrown up from the runway, to varying degrees of damage to landing gear assemblies and
main-planes. It is not unusual for tyre treads (nose & main) to detach as a result of FOD
damage during take-off and landing causing damage to the fuselage, wings, trailing edge
flaps, lift dumpers, engine intakes and compressors. Tyre tread detachment often occurs
within several takeoffs / landings of an earlier penetration of the tread by an item of FOD.
It is known that in some cases aircraft have been lost due to FOD damage to tyre
assemblies and has lead to significant loss of life.
2 OPERATOR, MAINTENANCE AND GROUND HANDLING ORGANISATION

RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICE
2.1 Aircraft operators should not allow their aircraft to be positioned onto arrival / departure
stands unless satisfied that the stand is clean and free from FOD. Operators should
consider the implementation of procedures whereby its staff or contracted ground
handling personnel check parking stand cleanliness standards prior to aircraft arrival on
stand and again following its departure from stand prior to being occupied by the next
aircraft.

2.2 Aircraft operators should ensure that the topic of FOD is placed as a standing agenda item
on all airport users committee meetings that it attends and internal airline safety meetings
as necessary in order that the topic is adequately covered and remains visible at all times.
It is suggested that operators may wish to nominate an individual with responsibility for the
implementation of the airline’s policy in this area.
2.3 Aircraft operators and maintenance organisations should implement procedures that
would preclude tools, inspection equipment or other service items being left in the aircraft
installations following routine or unscheduled maintenance (e.g. undercarriage bays,
engine intakes) and/or at the airport areas where the work took place.
2.4 Airport authorities and maintenance organisations should ensure that adequate cleaning/
sweeping programmes are in place for those aircraft ramp and maintenance areas under
their control. Airport authorities and maintenance organisations should provide sufficient
numbers of strategically positioned FOD bins that should be readily visible and placarded
as to their use.
2.5 Aircraft operators, maintenance and ground handling organisations should include FOD in
their induction and continuation training programmes. For example, the practice of putting
chocks and other loose equipment on aircraft tugs in positions from where it can fall
unnoticed should be discouraged.
2.6 Aircraft operators and maintenance organisations should consider the inclusion of FOD into
their ramp area audits ensuring that where problems exist that the persons responsible are
notified without delay. Where FOD is a persistent problem and no effort is made to rectify
the problem, consideration should be given to reporting matters to the CAA’s Aerodrome
Standards Department.
2.7 Aircraft operators should ensure that contracted aircraft cleaning and ground handling
organisations are made aware of its policies regarding the prevention of FOD during cabin
cleaning and ground handling operations. This should include the condition of vehicles and
the quality of repairs made to them.
2.8 Some aircraft types are permitted to back off the stand using high power reverse thrust
settings. Operators of such types are reminded that these operations can be susceptible
to FOD. Operators carrying out such operations should ensure that they are only carried
out in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and from clean, contamination
free ramp areas.
REMEMBER THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE FOD IS NO FOD!

ATC TRANSPONDERS AND TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION

AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS (TCAS) GROUND TESTING
1 INTRODUCTION
This Notice is to provide general guidance material to aircraft maintenance organisations
and maintenance personnel relating to ATC Transponder and Traffic Alert and Collision
Avoidance Systems (TCAS). It includes information on the TCAS system together with
precautions to be considered when ground testing ATC Transponders in order to minimise
the possibility of causing nuisance advisory warnings on TCAS equipped aircraft.
2 GENERAL
A number of aircraft operating within airspace regulated by the United Kingdom are now
equipped with TCAS. This equipment provides flight deck crew with an independent back-
up to visual search and the ATC system by alerting them to potential collision hazards. In
the case of the more sophisticated systems which predominate in number, the equipment
provides advice to the flight deck crew on how best to manoeuvre so that adequate
separation may be maintained or achieved between potentially conflicting aircraft.
3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION – TCAS II

3.1 TCAS comprises a dedicated computer unit with associated aerials. Visual and voice
advisories are provided for the flight deck crew.
3.2 The TCAS computer requires the presence of a mode S transponder which provides a data
link between TCAS equipped aircraft. Sensor inputs to TCAS include radio height and
pressure altitude.
3.3 TCAS can provide two distinct forms of advisory information to the flight deck crew, Traffic
Advisory (TA), and Resolution Advisory (RA).
(a) Traffic Advisory (TA), is aural and visual information provided in the cockpit to advise
the flight deck crew as to the position of a potential threat aircraft.
(b) Resolution Advisory (RA), is aural and visual information provided in the cockpit to ad-
vise the flight deck crew that a particular manoeuvre should, or should not, be per-
formed to maintain safe separation from a threat aircraft.
NOTE: Resolution Advisories can not be produced if a potential threat aircraft does not provide
altitude information.
3.4 TCAS equipped aircraft operate by interrogating the mode S or mode A/C transponders in
proximate aircraft. The replies from mode S and mode C transponders are tracked in range,
bearing and altitude. This data is passed on to the system logic for TA and RA processing
and display.
3.5 Mode A/C transponders which are not equipped with an altitude encoder or when the
altitude reporting is switched off, reply with no data in the altitude field, therefore, the
TCAS will track in range and bearing only. This information is passed to the collision
avoidance logic for TA detection and display.
4 TESTING CONSIDERATIONS
4.1 Recognising that airborne TCAS aircraft operate by interrogating operational transponders,
it is apparent that they will elicit replies from transponder equipped aircraft on the ground
if they are in range and the equipment switched on.

4.2 This, therefore, presents the possibility that a ground operated transponder may trigger a
nuisance advisory on a TCAS equipped aircraft operating in the close vicinity. If the ground
target is providing altitude data the TCAS logic should declare the aircraft to be on the
ground and ought not to generate an advisory.
If no altitude data is provided the TCAS will generate a TA if the threat criteria are met. If
the ground is providing altitude data other than surface altitude, as may happen with a
defective altitude encoder, or if a test pressure is being applied to the altitude encoder, the
TCAS may generate both a TA and a RA if the threat criteria are met.
4.3 Maintenance organisations and personnel who are involved in the ground testing of
transponders and TCAS equipment are requested to establish procedures and take
precautions to ensure that the risks of causing nuisance advisories are recognised and kept
to a minimum.
4.4 It is considered that nuisance advisories may be caused to any TCAS equipped aircraft
flying in the vicinity of transponders which are being tested, this may also include aircraft
passing overhead at medium altitudes. The problem may be more noticeable where
ground testing of transponders takes place at airfields located beneath Terminal Control
Areas or in the vicinity of Control Areas and Zones where air traffic movements are likely
to be numerous.
4.5 The following advice is provided to minimise the possibility of causing nuisance advisories
to TCAS equipped aircraft when ground testing transponders and/or TCAS:
(a) When not required ensure that transponders are selected to ‘OFF’ or ‘Standby’.
(b) For transponders under test, when equipped for altitude reporting, set the control unit
to ‘Mode A/C’ and select Altitude Reporting ‘ON’.
(c) Where possible, carry out testing inside a hangar to take advantage of any shielding
properties it may provide.
(d) Always use the antenna transmission absorption covers when these are provided
with the test set.
(e) When testing mode C operation which require the altitude to be increased, radiate di-
rectly into the ramp test set via the prescribed attenuator.
(f) In between test parameters, select the transponder to the standby mode.
(g) The simulation of TCAS operation by the radiation from an antenna located on, or re-
motely based from a workshop, is not permitted.
NOTE 1: The FAA have advised their staff of operational problems resulting in nuisance advisories
caused by ground based transponders installed on hangars for the purpose of testing TCAS
installations. Maintenance organisations are reminded that all UK aeronautical radio stations are
required to be licensed by the Department of Trade and Industry and the CAA.
NOTE 2: Air Traffic Control Units may be advised when testing is to be carried out if it is considered
that there is a possibility of nuisance advisories being caused by the activity due to its proximity to
operational runways.

AIRCRAFT TOWING AND LIMITATIONS

1 The CAA has been made aware of an incident in which an aircraft sustained structural dam-
age to the nose landing gear to fuselage mounting structure. It is believed that a causal fac-
tor in this incident was that ground movement of the aircraft had been undertaken using a
hydraulically powered "towbarless" tug and not ensuring that this was accomplished in ac-
cordance with the appropriate aircraft manufacturers' instructions.
2 Aircraft manufacturers are required, in accordance with type Certification Specifications, to

publish Servicing Information. This servicing information must contain, amongst other
things, equipment required for servicing and towing instructions and limitations.
3 Operators/owners and their maintenance and ground service providers are obliged to com-
ply with all the applicable aircraft manufacturers' instructions in order to ensure the contin-
ued airworthiness of their aircraft.
4 By publication of this Appendix to Airworthiness Notice No. 12 the CAA would like to re-
mind all operators/owners that when their aircraft is towed by either themselves or a third
party they take the necessary steps to make sure the above obligations and practices are
adhered to.

State Aircraft
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations relating to airworthiness
certificates have been in force since 28 September 2004. From this date the majority of
aircraft which currently hold a UK Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) issued in accordance
with the Air Navigation Order (ANO) are now “EASA aircraft” and will be issued with an
EASA CofA (in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 and Commission
Regulation No. 1702/2003, Annex I, Part 21, Sub Part H), upon the expiry of their current
UK CofA.
1.2 Article 1, Paragraph 2 of Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 states: “This Regulation shall not
apply when products, parts, appliances, personnel and organisations …. are engaged in
military, customs, police or similar services”.
1.3 The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) does not have editorial control over EU/EASA legislation
and so is not in a position to give an authoritative interpretation of its meaning. Pending the
publication of any explanatory material by EASA or another authoritative body, the UK
interpretation of the legislation is set out below.
2 STATE AIRCRAFT
2.1 An effect of the EU legislation is that UK civil-registered aircraft that are engaged in military,
customs, police or similar services have been considered to be State aircraft since the 28
September 2004. The UK interpretation of Article 1(2) of Regulation EC No. 1592/2002 is
that a State aircraft is:
(a) Any aircraft engaged in the service of the UK Ministry of Defence; or
(b) Any aircraft engaged in the service of a Chief Officer of Police; or
(c) Any aircraft engaged in the service of UK Customs and Excise; or
(d) Any aircraft engaged in the service of the UK Government to safeguard national
security.
2.2 UK civil-registered aircraft that are excluded from the scope of EASA by Article 1(2) will be
issued with UK national Certificates of Airworthiness or UK national Permits to Fly as
appropriate.
2.3 When applied to UK aircraft, the UK interpretation means that aircraft engaged in the
following activities are excluded from EASA and are regulated nationally: Police, Customs
and Excise, Military (including training, target towing/simulation for the Military), plus any
other activity necessary for national security.
2.4 Conversely, this UK interpretation also means that aircraft engaged in the following
activities, amongst others, are not excluded from regulation by EASA under Article 1(2) of
Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002: Coastguard (a rescue service), fisheries patrol, air-sea
rescue, Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS), environmental protection,
calibration of aids to navigation/landing and recreational gliding or recreational parachuting
with participants who are military personnel.
NOTE: Council Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 Article 4(2), Annex II additionally identifies categories
of aircraft, to which the EASA regulation does not apply and therefore remain subject to national
regulation regardless of the purposes they are used for.

2.5 Applicants for Certificates of Airworthiness should note that it is they who have the
responsibility to determine whether their aircraft is excluded from the scope of the EASA
Regulation through being engaged in “military, customs, police or similar services” and
apply for either a UK national Certificate of Airworthiness or an EASA Certificate of
Airworthiness depending upon the activity being undertaken. Owners/Operators of aircraft
should also note that it may be necessary to transfer from a national certificate to an EASA
certificate or vice versa when the kind of operation changes.
3 THE RIGHT TO INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) addresses aircraft used in military,
customs and police services in the Convention on International Civil Aviation and such
aircraft are deemed to be State aircraft. The Convention is not applicable to State aircraft,
and operators are not entitled to cross national boundaries unless they have the prior
permission of the country they wish to over fly and/or land in.
4 CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS OVERSIGHT

Council Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002, Article 1, Paragraph 2 also requires that:
“The Member States shall undertake to ensure that such services have due regard as far
as practicable to the objectives of this Regulation”.
The continued airworthiness oversight of State aircraft by the CAA will be aligned with the
requirements and procedures which would be applicable had the aircraft qualified for an
EASA, Part 21, Sub Part H, C of A. The principal elements for CAA oversight are as follows:
(a) State aircraft must be of a type approved by EASA or the CAA for the issue of a
Certificate of Airworthiness.
(b) The continuing airworthiness of any State aircraft will be managed in accordance with
procedures equivalent to the requirements for public transport (Air Navigation Order
2005 (as amended) Article 14, CAP 360 Part 2 or JAR-OPS Subpart M and from 28
September 2005, EASA Part M Subpart G as applicable).
NOTE: The meaning of public transport is as defined in Article 157 of the Air Navigation Order
2005 (as amended).
(c) Maintenance of a State aircraft is to be undertaken by an organisation holding
approval for the type.
(d) The certification of maintenance for a State aircraft is to be carried out by personnel
licensed/authorised in accordance with the provisions of Airworthiness Notice 14.
(e) State aircraft are to be maintained in accordance with a maintenance schedule/
programme approved by the CAA.
(f) State aircraft will be subject to an annual or triennial CofA renewal process as
applicable, undertaken by an organisation holding a BCAR A8-3 Supplement 2
approval or a BCAR A8-15 approval.
(g) State aircraft are to be operated in accordance with a flight manual, the content of
which has been approved under the type certificate, supplemental type certificate or
CAA approved modification procedure. Any changes to the flight manual must be
approved by the CAA, or alternatively approved by EASA and accepted by the CAA, in
accordance with Part-21 or BCAR Chapter A2-5 or B2-2 paragraph 7 as appropriate.
(h) Changes (modifications and repairs) to State aircraft must be approved by the CAA,
or alternatively approved by EASA and accepted by the CAA, in accordance with Part-
21 or BCAR Chapter A2-5 or B2-2 paragraph 7 as appropriate.
NOTE: Modifications to install special role equipment not possessing civil approval, will need
to be assessed and substantiated as being of no hazard to the aircraft. Operational performance
of such modifications will not be evaluated other than to assess the effect on aircraft safety.
(i) All parts and appliances to be used on State aircraft, except special role equipment
with no civil approval, are to be maintained by an approved maintenance organisation.

Special role equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s

recommendations.
(j) State aircraft must remain in compliance with Airworthiness Directives, mandatory
modifications, inspections and changes to approved documentation applicable to the
type as specified in CAP 747 as amended.
5 TRANSFER TO AN EASA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE

Where an aircraft is regulated nationally through being subject to the provisions of Article
1(2) of Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 and that aircraft ceases to be engaged in military,
customs, police, or similar services, it shall no longer be eligible for a national CofA or
Permit to Fly and may fly only if it is granted an EASA airworthiness certificate. Details on
the application for an EASA CofA can be found in Airworthiness Notice 7, Appendix 3.

Approval Of Organisations For Maintenance Of Aircraft And Components,

And CAA Part-145 Implementation
1 PURPOSE The purpose of this Airworthiness Notice is:

1.1 To provide guidance to UK industry on CAA approval policy with respect to Part-145
approval of maintenance organisations engaged in the maintenance of aircraft used for
Commercial Air Transport or in the maintenance of components to be fitted to such aircraft;
and
1.2 To set out CAA policy concerning national maintenance approvals and requirements
relating to aircraft NOT used for Commercial Air Transport and relating to maintained
components to be fitted to such aircraft.
NOTE: 1) For the purpose of this Notice, ‘Maintenance’ means any one or combination of Overhaul,
Repair, Inspection, Modification or defect rectification of a component.
NOTE: 2) The acceptance of new components intended for installation in aircraft issued with a UK
Certificate of Airworthiness by the UK CAA, irrespective of whether the aircraft is or is not used for
Commercial Air Transport, is addressed in Airworthiness Notice No. 17.
2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Part-145 covers the approval of organisations engaged in the maintenance of aircraft or
aircraft components used for Commercial Air Transport. This regulation will also apply to
all large aircraft, regardless of use from 28 September 2008. Part-145 and the Acceptable
Means of Compliance and Guidance Material is available on the EASA Website. For details
of other maintenance related EASA regulations and their implementation within the UK
refer to Airworthiness Notice No 7.
NOTE: For the purpose of this regulation a “large aircraft” means an aeroplane with a maximum take-
off mass of more than 5700kg, or a multi-engine helicopter.
2.2 Organisations approved by the CAA to Part-145 will have details of their approval, including
their name and address, listed on the EASA website. Part-145 Approvals granted to
organisations by EASA or competent authorities within the EU member states will be
recognised without further technical requirements or evaluation by other EU competent
authorities.
3 CAA APPROVAL POLICY FOR PART-145 REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Part-145 came into effect on 29 November 2003 for the maintenance of all aircraft when
used for Commercial Air Transport (CAT). During the transition period JAR-145 approved
organisations were deemed to be Part-145 approved organisations and were permitted to
continue to issue a JAR-145 certificate of release to service until 28 November 2004. From
that date the certificate of release to service (CRS) required after maintenance of an aircraft
or an aircraft component used for Commercial Air Transport, can only be issued by an
organisation appropriately approved in accordance with Part-145 by an EU Member State
competent authority or by EASA.
NOTE: 1) Organisations issued with approvals by JAA full member states outside of the EU may
be issued with an EASA Part-145 approval that will allow them to issue an EASA Form 1 certificate
of release to service that is acceptable for a UK registered aircraft.

NOTE: 2) It is incumbent upon UK organisations placing maintenance work with other approved
organisations to confirm the validity of that ‘approval’ as they can be provisionally suspended for
those organisations that do not maintain the required standards. Reference should be made to CAP
475 and EASA lists of approved organisations.
3.2 Organisations located outside the EU, and actively providing or intending to provide,
commercial air transport maintenance services for UK Operators or Maintenance
Organisations, may apply to EASA for the grant of a Part-145 approval.
4 CERTIFYING STAFF
4.1 Organisations applying for Approval under Part-145 for the maintenance of aeroplanes or
rotorcraft with a Maximum Take-Off Mass (MTOM) of 5700 kg and above used for
Commercial Air Transport will be required to demonstrate to the CAA that they employ, in
accordance with the requirements of Part-145.A.30, a sufficient number of appropriately
qualified certifying staff who hold:
(a) Part/JAR-66 full licences in the appropriate category or sub-category issued by an EU
Member State competent authority including where appropriate the relevant aircraft
type ratings, or
(b) Part/JAR-66 restricted licences in the appropriate category or sub-category issued by
an EU Member State competent authority including where appropriate the relevant
aircraft restricted type ratings, or
(c) Evidence of ‘protected rights’ to hold the appropriate type authorisation under the pro-
visions of JAR 66.1 based upon licences, qualifications and authorisations held prior to
1 June 2001. All organisations should hold a list of authorised certifying staff as at
1 June 2001 to reflect the 'protected rights' entitlement made available for review
when requested by the CAA.
NOTE: 1) A JAR-66 licence issued by a full member JAA-NAA prior to 28 November 2003 is
deemed to be a Part-66 licence and is therefore considered acceptable for the issue of a certifying
staff authorisation .
NOTE: 2) Part- 66 introduces a new effective date after which application may only be made for
the issue of a Part- 66 licence but recognises existing JAR-66 issued licences as being equivalent until
next renewal. Part-66 also revised the deadlines associated with the transition and this has impacted
upon both the ultimate validity of ‘protected rights’ based upon national provisions and when transfer
to a Part-66 licence must be made. Organisations must therefore be careful about ensuring their staff
are aware of these changes in order that authorisations remain valid.
NOTE: 3) Extensions for type authorisations to existing ‘protected rights’, based upon Section L
licences and previous CAA authorisation policy (BCAR A8-13), must meet the relevant type training
requirements as appropriate; except that all type training carried out after 1 June 2001 must be
carried out by a Part/JAR-147 approved organisation unless agreed otherwise by the CAA. The scope
of the authorisations may not be extended without first meeting the additional requirements for the
issue of a full Part/JAR-66 basic licence.
NOTE: 4) Extensions for type authorisations to existing ‘protected rights’, based upon the
qualifications, licences or the National practices of another EU Member state competent authortiy
must be made in accordance with the relevant requirements of that state.
NOTE: 5) Organisatons must ensure that care is taken in determining what training must be
undertaken to extend any authorisation held, since even with restricted Part/JAR-66 licences the
imposed limitations endorsed by each NAA may differ.
4.2 Organisations holding or applying for Approval for the maintenance of Airships must meet
the relevant requirements of BCAR Section A, A8-18 and its associated supplements.
Certification authorisations will, until such times as appropriate provision for Airship
licences has been incorporated into Part-66, be based upon BCAR Section L, Category ‘A
and C’ airship LWTRs. Unless agreed otherwise by the CAA, type training will be required
to be conducted by a suitably approved Part-147 organisation.
4.3 Organisations holding or applying for Approval for the maintenance of aircraft with a
MTOM less than 5700 kg will be required to demonstrate to the CAA that they employ a
sufficient number of certifying staff, who hold the appropriate type rated licences issued
under BCAR Section L or Part-66, to be authorised to issue certificates of release to service
for all required maintenance. Existing authorisation schemes may continue to be used until
further notice.

4.4 Organisations holding or applying for Approval for the maintenance of aircraft components
intended for fitment to aircraft used for Commercial Air Transport, are required to
demonstrate to the CAA that they employ sufficient numbers of certifying staff (Part
145.A.30(d)), who are qualified by the organisation to issue an EASA Form 1 (Certificate of
Release to Service) on the basis of appropriate competence, training and experience.
NOTE: 1) If component maintenance is required which is outside the scope of work of a Part-145
‘A’ rated organisation, it must be Released to Service by an appropriately Part-145 ‘B’, ‘C’ or ‘D’ rated
organisation. When a Part-145 ‘B’, ‘C’ or ‘D’ rated organisation performs maintenance on
components fitted to an aircraft during Base or Line maintenance, the Certificate of Release to
Service must be issued on an EASA Form 1 by appropriately authorised component certifying staff.
The process for controlling such work on components fitted to aircraft must be in accordance with a
procedure contained in the Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE).
NOTE: 2) It is the intention of EASA to include requirements for qualification standards for
certifying staff involved in component maintenance in a future amendment to Part-66.
5 CAA APPROVAL POLICY FOR NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Until the full implementation of Part ‘M’ in September 2008 organisations which are solely
engaged in the maintenance of aircraft not exceeding 2730 kg Maximum Take-Off Mass
which are NOT used for Commercial Air Transport, may continue to be approved, or may
apply for the grant or variation of an approval, in accordance with the requirements of BCAR
Section A Chapter A8-15. An approval granted under this requirement would be a CAA
'National' approval.
5.2 Organisations which are engaged in the maintenance of aircraft exceeding 2730 kg Maxi-
mum Take-Off Mass which are NOT used for Commercial Air Transport will be subject to
the appropriate BCAR Maintenance Approval Group Requirements under BCAR Chapter A8.
5.3 Organisations engaged in the maintenance of components for which there is no intended
use for Commercial Air Transport may also apply for Approval in accordance with these
Requirements (see 5.1 and 5.2).
5.4 Application for changes/variations to existing maintenance approvals granted under BCAR
Sub-section A8 will continue to be accepted by the CAA from organisations where Part-145
approval is not necessary.
5.5 The CAA is adopting Part-66 as the basis for qualifying Maintenance Certifying Staff
working outside of a Part-145 Organisation, replacing current licensing arrangements under
BCAR Section L. Such provision has already been made for the issue of new licences in
respect of aeroplanes and rotorcraft (helicopters). The requirements for BCAR
Maintenance Approval Group Requirements under BCAR Chapter A8 will also be reviewed
and amended accordingly.
6 CAA APPROVALS
6.1 Organisations which hold Part-145 Approval or an appropriate CAA National Maintenance
Approval may continue to be granted these terms of Approval if they meet the appropriate
requirements. There are a number of functions which can be covered by a CAA Approval
that are not as yet addressed by EASA Requirements. These functions include (but are not
limited to) the following:
(a) To issue Certificates of Maintenance Review in accordance with Article 14 of the Air
Navigation Order 2005 (as amended) when required.
(b) To issue certificates of release to service in accordance with Article 16 of the Air
Navigation Order 2005 (as amended) when required.
NOTE: This Approval relates to the certification of work on aircraft and/or components NOT
used for Commercial Air Transport.
(c) To issue Certificates of Fitness for Flight in accordance with the provision of BCAR
Chapter A/B 3-8, ('A' Conditions) until 1 June 2005 and from that date to issue a flight
release certificate for an EASA Permit to Fly.
(d) To perform Star Inspections in accordance with BCAR A/B 3-4.

(e) To furnish reports to the CAA in accordance with Article 165 of the Air Navigation
Order 2005 (as amended) in respect of:
Assessments and recommendations for the Renewal of the Certificate of
Airworthiness for aircraft as defined in the Maintenance Organisation Exposition, as
Approved in accordance with BCAR A8-15, or as Approved in accordance with BCAR
A8-3.
(f) To amend Maintenance, Overhaul, Repair Manuals and Wiring Diagrams in accord-
ance with BCAR A/B 5-3.
(g) Control of Welders Approvals.
7 MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT – NON COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORT
7.1 Aircraft which are not being used for the purposes of Commercial Air Transport, may
continue to be maintained by organisations approved by the CAA for the purpose or by
appropriately licensed aircraft maintenance engineers in accordance with the privileges
accorded to the licence holder (see Airworthiness Notice No. 3 and 10).
NOTE: It is acceptable to use a UK CAA issued Part/JAR-66 licence which is appropriately type rated
to certify for UK registered aircraft which are NOT used for commercial air transport and outside of a
Part-145 organisation where, so permitted, by the licence and Airworthiness Notice No. 3. Aircraft
specified in CAA Airworthiness Notice No. 10, paragraph 14, must be maintained by a Part-145
approved maintenance organisation irrespective of the purpose for which they are used.
7.2 An organisation currently approved to BCAR Chapter A8-15 whose activities are limited to
C of A renewal recommendations and maintenance of aircraft NOT used for Commercial
Air Transport, may continue to be approved in accordance with BCAR Chapter A8-15 until
28 September 2008.
7.3 Aircraft on the UK Register, which are NOT used for Commercial Air Transport, may have
components fitted which have been released to service in accordance with Part-145.
7.4 The person issuing the certificate of release to service for the fitting of a component to an
aircraft on the UK register, is responsible for ensuring that the records of that component
are sufficient to enable its maintenance and operating history to be established, including
the embodiment of modifications and mandatory ADs, service life used etc.
8 MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT WHEN CHANGING FROM ANY NON COMMERCIAL
OPERATION (NON-CAT) TO COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORT OPERATION (CAT)
8.1 Aircraft maintained in accordance with paragraph 7.1 will require release to service by an
appropriately approved Part-145 organisation, prior to the aircraft being used for
Commercial Air Transport. The release to service may, for example, be in accordance with
the alignment check required to transfer the aircraft from the current aircraft maintenance
programme to the Commercial Air Transport operator’s CAA approved maintenance
programme.
NOTE: 1) For aircraft of 2730 kg and below, the maintenance checks for this alignment shall be at
minimum, but not limited to a 100 hour check for helicopters or a 150 hour check for aeroplanes in
accordance with the LAMS or the approved alternative CAA approved maintenance schedule.
NOTE: 2) For aircraft above 2730 kg the Maintenance Check content for alignment shall be agreed
by the CAA to be of sufficient depth to provide a satisfactory level of assurance of airworthiness.
NOTE: 3) A Part-145.A.50 CRS will be issued on completion of an alignment check as required
above.
NOTE: 4) Operators of aircraft that may transfer between CAT and non-CAT operations must
ensure that all aircraft and component maintenance is released by an appropriately approved Part-145
organisation, or accept the need for assessment and re-certification as necessary by a Part-145
organisation before commercial operations are commenced.
8.2 Components (including engines and equipment) that have been overhauled or maintained
in accordance with paragraph 9.1 or 9.2 will require assessment and release to service by
an appropriately approved (i.e. Group B or C Rated) Part-145 organisation prior to the
aircraft to which these components are fitted, being used for the purposes of Commercial
Air Transport.

9 MAINTENANCE OF COMPONENTS (INCLUDING ENGINES, PROPELLERS, APUS

AND EQUIPMENT) – EXCLUDING COMMERCIAL AIR TRANSPORT AND LARGE
AIRCRAFT
NOTE: 'Large Aircraft' means an aircraft classified as an aeroplane with a maximum take-off mass of
more than 5700 kg or a multi-engined helicopter.
9.1 Components (including engines and equipment) that are intended for fitment to aircraft not
used for the purpose of Commercial Air Transport may continue to be released to service
by organisations approved by the CAA for the purpose under BCARs or by appropriately
licensed aircraft maintenance engineers.
9.2 Components that are intended for fitment to UK registered aircraft not used for the
purpose of Commercial Air Transport, may continue to be released to service by
organisations outside of the UK, (including the United States of America and Canada),
provided that they are:
the manufacturer of that component or aircraft, or
under the control of the aircraft or engine or propeller Type Certificate holder or are
authorised by the Type Certificate holder’s National Aviation Authority for the particular
purpose, at the time that the component was released to service.
9.3 Components (including engines and equipment) that are intended for fitment to aircraft not
used for Commercial Air Transport may be released to service by an organisation approved
in accordance with Part-145 for that aircraft or component.
9.4 When components are fitted to an aircraft with a Certificate of Airworthiness in any
category, not used for Commercial Air Transport, and in accordance with paragraphs 9.1 or
9.2 above, the required records, (e.g. aircraft, engine log books) must be endorsed with the
following:
‘This component has not been maintained in accordance with Part-145 and as such,
may not be fitted to an aircraft used for the purposes of Commercial Air Transport
until/unless released to service by an appropriately approved Part-145 organisation.’
9.5 Where it is intended to fit used components which have been maintained in a state other
than the United Kingdom to an aircraft, in accordance with this Airworthiness Notice, the
component shall be accompanied by an appropriate release certificate from the state of
export following maintenance in that state and prior to fitting to the UK registered aircraft.
For Class 1 components (engines and propellers) an export statement is required (e.g. from
the USA, a Form 8130-4 for Class 1 components and Form 8130-3 for all other used
components).
10 MAINTENANCE OF COMPONENTS (INCLUDING ENGINES, PROPELLERS, APUS

AND EQUIPMENT) - NON-EASA AIRCRAFT
10.1 Components (including engines, propellers, APUs and equipment) that are intended for
fitment to non-EASA aircraft as defined in EC Regulation 1592/2002 Articles 1(2) and 4(2)
(the current list may be found in CAP 747, Section 1, Part 2) may be released to service by
an organisation approved in accordance with Part-145 and holding the rating for that aircraft
or component.
10.2 When components are released to service using an EASA Form 1, Box 13 must be
endorsed by the following comment: "This component is not eligible for fitment to an
EASA aircraft".
11 BILATERAL AVIATION SAFETY AGREEMENT (BASA)

Previous agreements between JAA States and other (non-JAA) States remain valid until
replaced by EU bilateral arrangements. This allows the acceptance of used components
from EASA Part-145 approved maintenance organisations in the USA and Canada (these
were previously JAA accepted organisations).

12 CHARGES Full details of the charges associated with CAA approval are prescribed in the
Official Record Series 5, which is available on the CAA web site at www.caa.co.uk, under
the heading of Publications.

Power Units (APUs) And Propellers For Use On Aircraft Requiring a UK
Certificate Of Airworthiness
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 For the purposes of this Notice engines, engine modules, APUs, and propellers are
hereafter referred to as Powerplants.
1.2 Article 9(7) of the Air Navigation Order 2000 states that a Certificate of Airworthiness shall
cease to be in force if the aircraft is overhauled, repaired or modified otherwise than in a
manner and with material of a type approved by the CAA.
Similarly, for non Commercial Air Transport, Article 12(7) (a) requires that a Certificate of
Release to Service (CRS) be issued when an aircraft has been overhauled, repaired,
modified or maintained in a manner and with material of a type approved by the CAA.
1.3 For aircraft which are subject to regulation by EASA under Regulation (EC) 1592/2002, Part
145.A.50(a) and associated AMC material detail how components, including Powerplants,
from non-EASA approved sources are to be assessed. Those requirements must be
followed for acceptance of such Powerplants for these aircraft and this Notice is not
applicable.
1.4 For Powerplants to be used on aircraft that are not subject to regulation by EASA and are
obtained from sources not under the direct airworthiness control of the CAA, this Notice
defines a procedure which owners/operators must follow in order to meet the
requirements of Article 9(7) or Article 12(7) of the Air Navigation Order 2000. The procedure
described below is only applicable to Powerplants for “non-EASA” aircraft as defined in
CAP 747.
1.5 Instructions are also included regarding both pool and lease/loan/power-by-the-hour
arrangements and the alignment of maintenance programmes to be used on “non-EASA”
aircraft.

Subcontracting to Non-Approved Organisations

1 GENERAL
1.1 The UK CAA previously had accepted by the JAA the following Equivalent Safety Case in
accordance with JAR 145.95.
1.2 Approved Certificates issued by BCAR approved Organisations for Specialised
Maintenance Services, i.e. BCAR A8-5, together with the procedures listed in paragraph 3
were an acceptable means of compliance with Part-145.A.75 (b).
1.3 The UK CAA has from the 28 September 2005 cancelled the approval of those
organisations approved in accordance with BCAR in the following categories: A8-1, A8-2,
A8-4, A8-5, A8-6, A8-7, A8-9, A8-16 and A8-19, unless involved with the design or
manufacture of non-EASA aircraft.
NOTE: Non-EASA aircraft are those aircraft not included as an EASA aircraft for the following
reasons:
a) identified within Annex II of EC Regulation 1592/2002;
b) excluded by Article 1, paragraph 2 of EC Regulation 1592/2002;
c) currently excluded by Article 2, paragraph 3 (c) of EC Regulation 1702/2003.
As approvals A8-5 and A8-6 have a considerable impact on aircraft maintenance and
continuing airworthiness, paragraphs 2 and 3 of this appendix are raised to provide
guidance on the subcontracting of these activities.
1.4 In order to issue a Part-145.A.50 Certificate of Release to Service of an aircraft component
used in Commercial Air Transport, an organisation must meet one of the following criteria:
(a) an organisation is approved in accordance with Part-145;
(b) an organisation is contracted to another appropriately approved Part-145 organisation;
or
(c) an organisation is working under the quality system of an appropriately approved Part-
145 organisation (AMC 145.A.75 (b)) - this arrangement is known as "subcontracting".
2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Part-145.A.75 (b) permits an organisation that is not appropriately approved in accordance
with Part-145 to carry out certain maintenance tasks whilst working under the quality
system of an approved Part-145 organisation - this is commonly referred to as
subcontracting.
2.2 Part-145 organisations frequently need to subcontract certain specialised maintenance
tasks such as: plating, heat treatment, plasma spray, fire testing, etc. without the need for
the subcontractor to be directly approved in accordance with Part-145.
2.3 The UK CAA will accept a United Kingdom Accreditation Service accredited laboratory
certificate where applicable for specialised maintenance tasks such as: heat treatment, fire
testing, etc.
2.4 When maintenance is carried out under a subcontract control system it means that for the
duration of such maintenance the Part-145 approval has been temporarily extended to
include the subcontractor and requires the quality audit staff to ensure the Part-145
requirements are satisfied.
2.5 The Part-145 approved organisation should have the necessary competence, expertise and
procedures to allow it to determine that the subcontractor is able to comply with the
particular process/standard identified in the contract.

2.6 The contract between the Part-145 approved organisation and the unapproved
subcontractor should contain a provision for the competent authority and EASA
standardisation team staff to have right of access to the subcontractor.
3 PROCEDURE FOR ACCEPTANCE OF WORK FROM NON-APPROVED

ORGANISATIONS
3.1 When subcontracting work to a non-approved organisation, the Part-145 organisation's
procedures must make the following provisions:
(a) the pre-audit procedure should ensure that the subcontracted company has a valid
national accreditation where applicable, acceptable to the CAA (i.e. United Kingdom
Accreditation Service);
(b) the Part-145 approved organisation should ensure the subcontractor providing the
specialised service is listed in their Maintenance Organisation Exposition;
(c) subcontracted process work acceptance should be fully described in the Part-145
approved organisation's procedures including the acceptance of the format for the
release of the contracted work;
(d) the subcontract control procedure will need to ensure the national accreditation,
where applicable, remains valid and appropriate for the contract required;
(e) the Part-145 quality audit staff will need to audit their subcontract control section and
sample audit the subcontractors when appropriate, as part of the quality programme;
(f) the depth of the audit should be reflected in the accreditation, if any, held by the
unapproved organisation;
(g) the subcontracted control procedure will need to ensure the UKAS or applicable
approval remains valid and appropriate for the contract required;
(h) the Certificate of Release to Service/EASA Form 1 for the release of the task or
process will always be issued under the Part-145 approved maintenance organisation
approval reference;
(i) the Certificate of Release to Service may be issued either at the subcontractor or at
the organisation facility, by staff issued with a certification authorisation in accordance
with 145.A.30 as appropriate, by the organisation approved under Part-145; and
(j) such staff would normally come from the organisation approved under Part-145 but
may otherwise be a person from the subcontractor who meets the approved
maintenance organisation certifying standard, which is itself approved by the
competent authority via the maintenance exposition.
3.2 When listing a non-approved organisation as a subcontractor the appropriate national
accreditation status must be identified.

The Acceptance of New Aircraft Components
1 PURPOSE The purpose of this Airworthiness Notice is to provide guidance on the ac-
ceptance of new aircraft components to persons issuing the Certificate of Release to Serv-
ice for the installation of components, or for organisations sourcing such components, for
incorporation into parts or assemblies for release under a production organisation approval,
so that responsibilities under the applicable EC Regulations, the Air Navigation Order (ANO)
and BCAR Section A, Chapter A8 may be satisfied in a manner acceptable to the CAA.
2 APPLICABILITY This Notice is applicable to aircraft, which remain subject to national leg-
islation as defined in Articles 1(2) and 4(2) of EC Regulation No. 1592/2002. This applies to
new components intended for installation in aircraft, or for incorporation into assemblies
produced under a UK national Production Organisation Approval in accordance with BCAR
Section A, Chapter A8.
2.1 Aircraft not defined as above are subject to EC Regulation No. 1702/2003, incorporating
Part 21 and EC Regulation No. 2042/2003, incorporating Part-145. The European Aviation
Safety Agency is therefore responsible for guidance regarding these aircraft (EASA
aircraft). The information in this notice is however relevant to these aircraft and is intended
as guidance for the UK aviation industry supplementing the information available from
EASA (www.easa.eu.int).
2.2 A component received in accordance with this Notice should also have its eligibility for an
individual aircraft established by the end user, considering applicable UK Mandatory
Requirements for Airworthiness (CAP 747), Aircraft Technical Publications etc.
3 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Airworthiness Notice the following definitions apply:
(a) Aircraft Component means any new part of an aircraft including a complete power-
plant and any operational or emergency equipment.
(b) Standard Parts A part is considered as a standard part where it is designated as such
by the design approval holder (DAH) responsible for the product, part or appliance in
which the part is intended to be used.
In order to be considered a standard part, all design, manufacturing, inspection data
and marking requirements necessary to demonstrate conformance of that part must
be in the public domain and published as part of a national or international specifica-
tion.
NOTE: Parts which are the subject of specific product or equipment approvals such as National
Equipment Approvals, grandfathered in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 13 of
Article 2 of EC Regulation No. 1702/2003, technical standard orders (TSO), joint technical
standard orders (JTSO) or European Technical Standard Orders (ETSO) are not considered as
standard parts.
When designating a standard part, the DAH should ensure that the effect on the de-
sign of any manufacturing tolerences within the specification are fully taken into ac-
count in the intended application. If it is found necessary to apply additional
qualification or selection criteria over and above the published specification in order to
satisfy the intended design requirements (such as enhanced levels of inspection,

burn-in, or environmental tests etc.) then the DAH should allocate its own part
number reference and such parts cannot be considered as standard parts.
(c) Critical means a part for which the failure analysis shows that hazardous effects, or
worse, are not to occur at a rate in excess of extremely remote. This can also include
parts for which a replacement time, inspection interval, or related procedure is spec-
ified in the Airworthiness Limitations section of the manufacturer’s maintenance
manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.
4 AUTHORISED RELEASE DOCUMENT This document is required for any aircraft com-
ponent which is to be installed in an aircraft, except that it is not required for standard parts
as defined in paragraph 3(b).
4.1 When received from a manufacturing source approved to Part-21, the Authorised Release
Document will be an EASA Form 1 issued under the terms of that Approval (for verification
refer to www.easa.eu.int/doc/Certification/Org_Appro/easa_apo.pdf). Prior to 28
September 2004 the Authorised Release Document used by an organisation holding an
appropriate JAR-21 Subpart G approval was a JAA Form One, after 28 September 2004
these organisations should have transitioned to Part 21 and now be using the EASA Form1.
4.2 Prior to 28th September 2005 the Authorised Release Document used by an organisation
holding an appropriate CAA BCAR A8-1 or A8-2 Approval or approved to national rules by
an EU member state or Norway or Switzerland, would have been a JAA Form One issued
under the terms of that Approval with the following statement in Block 13: "This certificate
has been issued under ………….(reference to the issuing NAA national rules applicable)".
4.3 Products, parts or appliances, for aircraft which remain subject to UK national legislation as
defined in Articles 1(2) and 4(2) of EC Regulation 1592/2002 (non-EASA aircraft), may be
released by an appropriately approved organisation on a UK CAA Approved Certificate.
Airworthiness Notice 21 gives further guidance regarding the use of a UK CAA Approved
Certificate.
4.4 When received from a manufacturing source appropriately Approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), which arranges for the release of the aircraft component,
the Authorised Release Document will be either:
FAA Form 8130-4, Export Certificate of Airworthiness for new engines/propellers, or
FAA Form 8130-3, Authorised Release Certificate/Airworthiness Approval Tag for all other
new components including APUs.
Further information regarding the use of FAA Form 8130-3 is contained in FAA Order
8130.21D. As a result of the Common Release Certificate project between the JAA, FAA
and Transport Canada, it has been accepted that inclusion of the word “Export” is not
necessary on each authority’s respective forms. Inclusion of the word “Export” in Block 13
of a Form 8130-3 remains as an option to meet any existing bilateral agreement
commitments.
Where a Form 8130-3 has been raised under previous revisions of the FAA Order then an
export statement is still required. The current issue of the Form may be recognised by its
revision - Form 8130-3 (6-01).
Form 8130-3 issued for Domestic purposes only within the US or certifying conformity to
the Export requirements of a specific country other than the UK is not acceptable.
4.5 The CAA position regarding FAA-PMA parts is that a company can accept all non-critical
PMA components and all PMA ‘licence’ components (i.e. with the permission of the
Design Holder to make the part) using an appropriate FAA 8130-3 release and without
further conditions being imposed. Other critical PMA components may be accepted with
an appropriate Form 8130-3 release, providing that they are for fitment to an aircraft, engine
or propeller where the FAA is the authority of the State of Design, or with prior
authorisation from the CAA, where the PMA component is manufactured with the
permission of the TC/STC holder.

NOTE: 1 FAA Form 8130-3 Completion.

FAA PMA parts for U.S. products:
Where the FAA is the authority of the State of Design the statement “For fitment to a US
Type Certificated product”, should be written in Block 13 of FAA Form 8130-3.
FAA PMA parts for non U.S.products:
(a) PMA part is not a “critical component.” (see definition, paragraph 3(c). The statement
“This PMA part is not a critical component” should be written in Block 13 of the FAA
Form 8130- 3. In case of doubt about the criticality of the component, the PMA holder
should contact the UK CAA, through the FAA.
(b) If the PMA part conforms to design data obtained under a licensing agreement from the
Type Certificate holder according to 14 CFR 21.303(c)(4). The statement “Produced
under licensing agreement from the Type Certificate holder” should be written in Block
13 of FAA Form 8130-3.
NOTE: 2 Paragraph 4.5 reflects the current Implementation Procedures for design approval,
production activities, export airworthiness approval, post design approval activities, and
technical assistance between authorities Under the Agreement between The Government
of the United States of America and The Government of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland For Promotion of Aviation Safety (23rd May 2002).
www.caa.co.uk/docs/50/SRG_dp_Final_Signed_IPA.pdf
4.6 The acceptance of components from outside the EU depends on arrangements being in
place between EASA and the Airworthiness Authority of the exporting country. In addition
to the information in this notice further detail of such arrangements may be found on the
EASA website (http://www.easa.eu.int/home/index.html) under the 'International Working
Arrangements' section.
For aircraft which remain subject to national legislation, as defined Articles 1(2) and 4(2) of
EC Regulation No. 1592/2002, contact aqas@srg.caa.co.uk for further information
regarding components not covered by the paragraphs above.
5 DISTRIBUTORS Although aircraft component distributors provide a useful service to the

aviation industry they are not required to be approved by the CAA, cannot raise Authorised
Release Documents and cannot be required to possess the necessary technical expertise
to establish the status of aircraft components. It therefore follows that for all components
received, the end user should request from the distributor the associated Authorised Re-
lease Document raised by an appropriately approved organisation as described above.
Where a distributor does not want to pass the component’s documents to a potential
buyer, being another distributor, it is acceptable for the original distributor’s documentation
to be endorsed:
‘Authorised Release Documentation of the aircraft component is on file, Ref.
No. # # # # and will be made available to the end user upon request from that
end user.’
Upon request of the end user the distributor should transmit the original documentation to
allow the end user to establish the components acceptability prior to installation. In all
cases it is the responsibility of the end user to obtain the appropriate Authorised Release
Documentation and establish the acceptability of the component.
NOTE: Where more than one component appears on the Authorised Release Document and the
components are to be distributed separately a certified true copy of the Authorised Release
Document is acceptable for transmittal to the end user. It should be made clear which entries on the
copy of the Authorised Release Document relate to the supplied components.

Acceptance Standards for Imported Aircraft for which a UK Certificate of

Airworthiness is Sought
1 INTRODUCTION
This Airworthiness Notice has been revised to advise of the implementation of changes
that have been made to the requirements for BCAR A8-8, Group E3 Approvals.
2 REQUIREMENTS
2.1 BCAR Sections A and B, Sub-sections A3-2 and B3-2, specify the requirements for the
issue of Certificates of Airworthiness. These sub-sections have been revised for aircraft
with a maximum take off weight above 15 000 kg to require a report to be submitted by an
appropriate design organisation, certifying that the airworthiness standard of the aircraft
conforms to, or differs in a defined manner from, a standard approved by the CAA for the
issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness for that type. For the purposes of this Notice, an
appropriate design organisation is an organisation approved in accordance with BCAR A8-
8 Group E3 or it may be the Type Certificate holder if considered acceptable.
NOTE: In the case where the issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness is to be completed outside the
United Kingdom at a place where an Organisation is not specifically approved to provide reports for
the purpose, the overseas Organisation shall be one that is acceptable to the CAA.
2.2 For other aircraft with a maximum take off weight below 15 000 kg, a suitably approved
maintenance organisation, or, subject to CAA agreement, appropriately licensed aircraft
maintenance engineers for aircraft types not listed in paragraph 14 of Airworthiness Notice
No. 10 may be used. However, the use of the services of an E3 approved organisation is
recommended, particularly where the work to establish compliance is significant.
2.3 BCAR Section A, Sub-section A8 details the various organisation approvals. The
requirements for design organisation approvals under Sub-section A8-8 have been
amended to enable an E3 Design Organisation to provide reports and to certify that a
particular aircraft conforms to, or differs in a defined manner from, a standard approved by
the CAA for the issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness for that aircraft type. Previously the
E3 approval was limited to the provision of reports and certification of compliance with
design standards only. The amendment addresses all of the airworthiness standards
associated with issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness and applicable operational
requirements. Consequently an E3 Design Organisation will now be required to have
suitable procedures and arrangements for the inspection of aircraft to establish compliance
with the documented airworthiness standard.
2.4 The revised BCAR Chapter A8-8 requirement contains an appendix that gives guidance on
the format and content of the report to be provided by the E3 Design Organisation.
3 IMPLEMENTATION
In order to phase in the implementation of the new E3 approval, reports from organisations
whose E3 approval is currently limited to establishing design standards will continue to be
accepted until one year after the date of the publication of amended requirements. After
this date the CAA will not accept reports to certify the airworthiness standard for aircraft

with a certificated maximum take-off weight above 15 000 kg, other than in accordance
with the amended BCAR Chapter A8-8 requirement.

The Problem Of Bogus Parts
1 The CAA is becoming increasingly concerned about the quantity and variety of unapproved
parts which are finding their way on to UK registered aircraft, in particular helicopters. Evi-
dence indicates that these counterfeit and/ or fraudulently identified parts are being import-
ed, largely from North America, however the CAA also has evidence of such bogus parts
originating from the UK and also other foreign sources.
1.1 Manufacturing and/or marketing bogus parts is not endemic to the United Kingdom but
evidence of the falsification of release documentation (JAA Form One) has been observed.
1.2 Installing bogus parts onto aircraft has serious airworthiness implications; to illustrate just
how serious, the following two examples are quoted involving aircraft which are available
in the international market place:
(a) A helicopter main rotor blade complete with release documentation was traced as
having been scrapped by the manufacturer during the manufacturing process.
(b) An engine mount described as fitted new to an aircraft in 1979 was traced as having
been factory installed in 1966.
2 UNAPPROVED PART For the purpose of this Notice an Unapproved part is a part or ma-
terial intended for installation on a type certificated product/aircraft, which has been neither
manufactured according to approved procedures, nor conforms to an approved type de-
sign; or it fails to conform to declared specifications or accepted industry standards (i.e.
standard parts).
2.1 Unapproved parts include, but are not limited to:
(a) Parts specified in the illustrated parts catalogues (IPC) of a type certificated aircraft,
but which have been manufactured, reclaimed or reworked and then marked by an
unauthorised source and provided with documents which indicate falsely that the
part(s) are genuine and conform to the approved type design, or meet a particular in-
dustry standard and are offered for use as conforming with an aircraft manufacturers
authorised IPC.
(b) Parts shipped directly to users by, manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors who do
not themselves hold appropriate production approvals for the parts, and have not
been authorised to make direct shipments to users or stockists, by the type certificate
holder, who alone has production approval e.g. production overruns. This is a particu-
lar phenomena in the United States.
(c) Parts which have not been maintained, overhauled or repaired in accordance with the
requirements of approved airworthiness data and/ or statutory requirements, or that
have been maintained, overhauled or repaired by persons not authorised to perform
and certify these functions.
3 PARTS ORIGINATING FROM THE SURPLUS UNITED STATES MILITARY STOCK

3.1 The United States Department of Defence (DOD) has a programme called ‘BREAKOUT’.
Under this programme the DOD use manufacturers’ approved drawings, obtained under

the terms of production contracts with the original equipment manufacturer and seek bids
from anyone who wishes to make the parts.
3.2 The suppliers of the BREAKOUT parts may not have the stringent quality controls that are
required by the aircraft/component type certificate holder to satisfy FAA requirements. For
example, periodic conformity inspections and destructive tests to assure the continued
quality of the product may not have been undertaken.
3.3 The US government may also substitute military specifications in lieu of originally approved
material and process specifications, thereby developing parts that do not conform to the
FAA approved civil type design.
4 FAA SUSPECT UNAPPROVED PARTS NOTIFICATIONS

4.1 The FAA and CAA have intensified efforts to educate the public regarding the potential
safety threat posed by aeronautical parts that do not meet applicable design,
manufacturing or maintenance requirements. To achieve this, the FAA established a
Suspect Unapproved Parts programme (Sups) and issued guidance in an Advisory Circular
21-29B.
4.2 Suspect Unapproved Parts Notifications can be found on FAA Internet site: http://
www.faa.gov/avr/sups.htm
4.3 The CAA will distribute this information to approved maintenance organisations in the UK
and overseas and to UK AOC holders.
5 Because of the increased activity being undertaken in the United States against suspect
unapproved parts, it is likely that the vendors of these parts will direct their activities to-
wards Europe and other parts of the world, because of the reduced risk of detection.
6 MANDATORY OCCURRENCE REPORTING PROCEDURES

6.1 Users of aircraft components and spares are reminded that suspected unapproved parts
should be reported to the CAA through the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting procedures
(MOR).
6.2 Although the MOR procedure does not extend to piston engined aircraft used for Aerial
Work or privately operated, and any aircraft with a permit to fly, users of aircraft parts or
material for this class of aircraft are encouraged to use the procedure where suspect parts
are identified.
6.3 On receipt of an MOR, and where appropriate, the CAA will pass the details to the FAA
through the Manager of the FAA International Field Office at Heathrow. In addition to
assisting the FAA, who are implementing a vigorous campaign against unapproved parts,
this procedure will enable the CAA to establish the dimensions of the problem as it affects
the United Kingdom.
6.4 To assist in tracing unapproved parts or material, persons raising an MOR should, as far as
possible, provide the following information on their report:
(a) The name of the suspected unapproved part.
(b) Part number, or any other number on the part.
(c) Serial number of part.
(d) List next higher assembly that suspected unapproved part is assembled into (i.e. fuel
pump, engine, landing gear) and list part number, if known.
(e) Quantity of suspected unapproved parts found or identified.
(f) Make and model number of the aircraft or component that the suspected unapproved
part is applicable to.
(g) The identification of the commercial source of the suspected unapproved part. If the
part is identified with Part Manufacturer or Distributor marking, this should be quoted.
(h) Describe any pertinent facts relating to the suspected unapproved part and identify
where part may be inspected (provide photos, invoices, etc., if available).

(i) The date suspected unapproved part was discovered.

(j) Name and address in full or the location where suspected unapproved part(s) was dis-
covered.
7 Foreign aircraft and approved component manufacturers can be contacted by users

through their UK agent or direct, for verification that specific serial numbered items pur-
ported to be manufactured by them are in fact recorded in their archives. As an example,
this process was used to verify that a particular helicopter main rotor head was in fact bo-
gus.
8 THE CERTIFYING PERSON AND USER RESPONSIBILITY

8.1 The Certifying Person (User) can be either the Approved Organisation, a person authorised
in accordance with that organisation’s Exposition, or an appropriately CAA Type Rated
Licensed Engineer, who issues the Certificate of Release to Service for installation of an
aircraft part into an aircraft, its engine(s), propeller(s) or equipment.
8.2 The User of an aircraft part is responsible for ensuring that the part is serviceable and
conforms to the standard determined by the appropriate type certificate holder as being
suitable for the intended application. In order to discharge this responsibility to the
satisfaction of the CAA/JAA, the user must, when obtaining an aeronautical part from a
supplier:
(a) Ensure that the purchase order contains accurate definition of the aircraft parts and
full details of the quality control and certification requirements to be met by the sup-
plier in satisfying the order;
(b) Take all necessary steps to verify that the supplier is meeting the requirements of the
purchase order. This may require the user visiting the suppliers facilities.
8.3 In order to contain the serious problem of unapproved parts, Commercial Air Transport
Operators (Public Transport) and associated Maintenance organisations who are users of
aircraft spares should ensure that their aircraft spares purchasing policy and procedures are
unequivocally stated in their company expositions/engineering procedural documents.
They should also ensure that any deviation from that policy must be approved by the quality
manager in accordance with procedures acceptable to the CAA.
8.4 Other organisations and private owners who purchase aircraft parts or materials can only
be advised to exercise extreme caution and remember they will have to convince the USER
of the authenticity of such spares.
9 Airworthiness Notice Numbers 11, 16, 17, 18 and 97 provide advice on the acquisition of
aircraft or material parts for aircraft with Certificates of Airworthiness.

Changes Affecting Design and Production Organisations

1 PURPOSE
1.1 To provide information to Design and Production Organisations regarding changes caused
by the European Regulations that came into force on 28 September 2003, particularly:
• requirements for organisation approvals for design and production activities not sub-
ject to European Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002; and
• flight-testing required by Part 21.
2 APPLICABILITY
2.1 Design and Production Organisations.
2.2 Organisations required to conduct flight tests required by Part 21.
3 INTRODUCTION
3.1 The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as established in European Regulation (EC)
No. 1592/2002 commenced operation on 28 September 2003 and at the same time
European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003, laying down implementing rules
for the airworthiness and certification of aircraft, entered into force. These regulations and
implementing rules have affected the organisation approval requirements for design and
production organisations currently approved to BCAR Sub-Section A8.
NOTE: 1 For the purposes of this Airworthiness Notice, aircraft that are required to comply with
Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 are specified as “EASA Aircraft”.
NOTE: 2 For the purposes of this Airworthiness Notice, aircraft that are not required to comply with
Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 are specified as “Non-EASA Aircraft”.
NOTE: 3 Lists of EASA and Non-EASA aircraft can be found in CAP 747.
4 EFFECTIVITY
This Airworthiness Notice is effective from 28 September 2004.
5 REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Design - EASA aircraft
All design changes, repair design and initial design associated with EASA aircraft must be
in accordance with Part 21 and approved either by EASA or by an appropriately approved
Part 21 Subpart J design organisation.
NOTE: Even if an aircraft is being used as a 'state aircraft' and is therefore not the responsibility of
EASA, a design change to that aircraft could still be approved through the EASA system. If the design
change is a series modification and applicable to aircraft covered by the TC it is not state specific and
could be accepted as an EASA design change. Alternatively, the design change could be defined as
aircraft specific which would make it applicable to the 'state aircraft' only and would allow it to be
approved under the national system as below.
5.2 Design - Non-EASA aircraft
Design changes, repair design and initial design not eligible for approval under Part 21 are
a national responsibility and are approved by the CAA, an appropriately approved BCAR

design organisation or a Part 21 approved design organisation with an appropriate

supplement to their EASA approval issued by the CAA. A Part 21 DOA requiring the ability
to perform design activity in accordance with the national system, rather than to Part 21,
can apply to the CAA for this supplement.
Examples of design not eligible for approval under Part 21 are:
(a) Annex II aircraft design changes or repair design; and
(b) Modification of an aircraft with an EASA TC but used for state purposes (e.g. police)
where the design change is not certifiable as an EASA design change. If a design
change to a state aircraft can be approved through Part 21, as described above, it is
advisable to do this as any design change or repair not approved under Part 21
precludes the issuance of an EASA Certificate of Airworthiness for the affected
aircraft. If at a later date the aircraft is not used for state purposes all non-EASA
design changes will need removal or approving under the EASA system before the
EASA Certificate of Airworthiness could be granted.
5.3 Production - EASA aircraft
Production against EASA approved design data needs to be in accordance with Part 21 and
may be released on an EASA Form 1 by a Subpart G approved production organisation
(POA) or an organisation working in accordance with Subpart F. Release on a JAA Form
One has not been appropriate in the UK since 28 September 2005.
5.4 Production - Non-EASA aircraft
If the design data has been approved under the CAA national system and not under the
EASA system then release on an EASA Form 1 is not appropriate. An organisation with an
appropriate BCAR approval or a Part 21 POA with an appropriate CAA supplement can
release on a CAA Approved Certificate as described in Appendix 1 to this Notice. Release
on a JAA Form One has not been appropriate in the UK since 28 September 2005.
5.5 Information on the future requirements for organisation approvals for design and
production activities on Non-EASA aircraft
Organisations whose activity is only related to Non-EASA aircraft may continue to use their
BCAR Section A8 approvals. The CAA intend to replace these national requirements with
a set of common requirements based upon Part 21. These requirements are nominally
called BCAR Chapter A8-21 and will be developed with industry support.
5.6 Flight testing required by Part 21
NOTE: 1 For EASA aircraft the CAA are responsible for making the findings associated with the issue
of a Permit to Fly until 28 March 2007 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003 Article 2,
paragraph 11.
NOTE: 2 For Non-EASA aircraft the requirements of BCAR Chapter A3-8 (A Conditions) and Chapter
A3-9 (B Conditions) are still applicable and an organisation approval in accordance with BCAR Chapter
A8-9 is required as necessary.
5.6.1 Application
5.6.1.1 An EASA Permit to Fly is required for flight of an EASA aircraft where a Certificate of
Airworthiness is not in force. An EASA Permit to Fly is issued for conducting flight tests in
accordance with Part 21 paragraph 21A.35 where these tests are required for
demonstrating compliance with the certification and environmental protection
requirements required by 21A.20 (type certificate), 21A.97 (major changes to a type
certificate) and 21A.117 (supplemental type certificate) and for conducting production flight
tests in accordance with 21A.139(b)(1) and 21A.127.
5.6.1.2 General information regarding application for a Permit to Fly is available in Airworthiness
Notice No. 9. An additional guidance document for flight testing in accordance with Part 21
is detailed in Appendix 2 of this Notice.

5.6.2 Procedure
5.6.2.1 Design Assurance System
Before an application for an EASA Permit to Fly is progressed by the CAA, the approved
design organisation responsible for the control and management of the flight tests must
demonstrate to the Agency that it complies with the applicable requirements of Part 21
Subpart J. The design assurance system required by 21A.239 shall include the control and
management of the applicable flight tests.
As specified in Airworthiness Notice No. 9 a Flight Release Certificate is required to be
issued prior to flight under the terms of the EASA Permit to Fly. When the EASA Permit to
Fly is issued for flight test purposes the design organisation shall verify that all applicable
procedures are satisfied prior to issue of the Flight Release Certificate.
The Flight Release Certificate required by Airworthiness Notice No.9 may in specific cases
and where agreed with the CAA be in the form of a “Certificate of Clearance” as defined
in BCAR A8-9. However it must be amended to include all the details of the Flight Release
Certificate detailed in Airworthiness Notice No. 9, particularly the cross reference to the
associated Permit to Fly and be renamed a “Flight Release Certificate”.
The design organisation must demonstrate the availability of suitable and appropriately
approved personnel, facilities and procedures for the control and management of the flight
test. These procedures shall include the following elements:
(a) Design
The determination of whether flight-testing needs to be undertaken and:
• provision of information on the appropriate conditions and limitations;
• control of the aircraft build standard, configuration and conditions to be flight-
tested;
• specification of any additional maintenance required;
• establishing procedures for the generation and approval of flight-test schedules;
• establishing procedures for the generation of flight-test reports.
(b) Flight
The conduct of safe flight operations and:
• ensuring that flights shall only be undertaken in accordance with the relevant
procedures;
• maintaining the procedures for the conduct of flight tests.
These procedures will include particulars of facilities for the flight test function,
selection of suitable airfields from which to conduct the flight test and
consideration of the need for special equipment for the purposes of the safety of
the trials, e.g. harnesses, parachute stowage’s, emergency exits, anti–spin
parachutes, instrumentation and the means for disconnecting automatic devices.
• assurance that the number and qualifications (including licences where applicable)
of the minimum flight crew shall be subject to agreement between the
Organisation and the CAA for each type or category of aircraft concerned.
NOTE: This arrangement will not prejudice the minimum flight crew finally specified in the
Flight Manual.
(c) Airworthiness and Inspection
The assurance of compliance with the requisite build standard or modification state
(embracing production, inspection and installation) and
• The completion of required maintenance of the aircraft.
• The certification that the aircraft is fit for flight.
• The notification to the pilot of any changes embodied on the aircraft.

(d) Quality Management

The procedure for control and management of flight testing shall ensure that a Flight
Release Certificate is not issued until the Design Organisation has ensured that all ap-
plicable requirements and relevant procedures have been followed.
This process shall ensure that the procedures and forms issued address the following:
• organisation name and approval number;
• flight Release Certificate number and date of issue;
• type, serial number and registration of the aircraft;
• definition of the design standard of the aircraft;
• approval of flight test schedule(s);
• the maximum weight and centre-of-gravity limits;
• all pertinent operating limitations;
• the minimum crew;
• any other restrictions considered necessary;
• confirmation that the design standard and conditions stated on the certificate are
adequate to conduct the necessary flight tests;
• confirmation that the build standard of the aircraft conforms to the design standard
and that the aircraft is fit for flight;
• confirmation of compliance with applicable maintenance requirements including
those modified by the design function in relation to the work being undertaken,
including hours available to the next maintenance check;
• confirmation that the flight crew (and ground observers) understand and accept the
test plan and limitations for the flight and that a pre-flight briefing has been carried out.
The independent quality system required by Part 21 Subpart J will by means of audit-
ing ensure that the Organisation and its partners/sub-contractors operate in accord-
ance with established procedures and remain in compliance with the applicable
requirements.
NOTE: Where the organisation responsible for the control and management of the flight test has
employed another suitably approved organisation to carry out one or more of the elements required,
then the certifying signatory shall sign applicable documents under the approval of their own
organisation and state the applicable approval reference. The design organisation shall specify the
manner in which the design assurance system accounts for the acceptability of the tasks performed
by partners or sub-contractors according to methods, which are the subject of written procedures in
accordance with 21A.239(c). It is expected that the Design, Flight and Quality Management elements
will be under the approval authority of the applicant.
5.6.2.2 Design Organisation Handbook
As required by Part 21A.243(a) the DOA handbook shall include the procedures and forms
used. Note that AMC No.1 to 21A.243(a) requires that the names of nominated persons
with specific responsibilities as mentioned in 21A.35 are listed in the handbook.
5.6.2.3 Aircraft Registration
Aircraft flying under an EASA Permit to Fly issued by the CAA shall be registered in the UK
as required by Part 21 paragraph 21A.185.
An aircraft shall not fly unless it bears painted thereon or affixed thereto, in the manner
required by the law of the country in which it is registered, the nationality and registration
marks required by that law.

5.6.2.4 Maintenance of Aircraft

Any aircraft flying under an EASA Permit to Fly, in order to conduct flight testing, shall
continue to be maintained in accordance with the maintenance schedule or programme
approved for the aircraft. Where there is no approved maintenance schedule or programme
the aircraft shall be maintained in an airworthy condition in accordance with a programme
of maintenance prepared in accordance with appropriate procedures approved by the CAA.
These procedures should include provisions for any additional maintenance, which may
arise from development or modifications to the aircraft during the flight tests.

USER/INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITIES
NOTES: 1. It is important to understand that the existence of the document alone does not automatically constitute authority to
install the part/component/assembly.
2. Where the user/installer works in accordance with the national regulations of another airworthiness authority it is
essential that the user/installer ensure that his/her airworthiness authority accepts parts/components/assemblies from
the UK CAA.
3. Statement 14 and 19 do not constitute installation certification. In all cases the aircraft maintenance record shall contain
an installation certification issued in accordance with the national regulations by the user/installer before the aircraft may
be flown.

APPROVED CERTIFICATE
COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions relate only to the use of the UK CAA Approved Certificate for manufacturing
purposes.
1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The primary purpose of the certificate is to release products, parts and appliances
(hereafter referred to as 'item(s)') as identified in Blocks 7 through 11 as applicable after
manufacture, or to release maintenance work carried out on items under the approval of
the CAA.
The Certificate serves as an official certificate for the delivery of items from the
manufacturer to users. The Certificate is not, however, a delivery or shipping note.
It may only be issued by organisations certificated by the CAA, within the scope of such an
approval. Aircraft are not to be released using the Certificate. Products, Parts or Appliances
for aircraft that are the responsibility of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are
NOT to be released using the Certificate.
A mixture of 'New' and 'Used' items is not permitted on the same Certificate.
A mixture of items certified in conformity with 'approved data' and to 'non-approved data'
is not permitted on the same Certificate, and consequently only one box in Block 14 can
be ticked.
2 GENERAL
The Certificate must comply with the format attached including block numbers and the
location of each Block. The size of each Block may however be varied to suit the individual
application, but not to the extent that would make the Certificate unrecognisable. The
overall size of the Certificate may be significantly increased or decreased so long as the
Certificate remains recognisable and legible. The Certificate must be in 'Portrait' rather
than 'Landscape' to help differentiate it from the EASA Form 1. If in doubt consult the CAA.
Please note that the user responsibility statements can be placed on either the reverse or
front of this Certificate.
All printing must be clear and legible to permit easy reading and be in English.
The Certificate may either be pre-printed or computer generated but in either case the
printing of lines and characters must be clear and legible. Pre-printed wording is permitted
in accordance with the attached model but no other certification statements are permitted.
The details entered onto the Certificate must be in English and permit easy reading, and
may be entered by hand, using block letters, or by a machine or computer. Abbreviations
must be restricted to a minimum.
The space remaining on the reverse side of the Certificate may be used by the originator
for any additional information but must not include any certification statement.
The original Certificate must accompany the items and correlation must be established
between the Certificate and the item(s). A copy of the Certificate must be retained by the
organisation that manufactured the item. Where the Certificate format and the data is
entirely computer generated, subject to acceptance by the CAA, it is permissible to retain
the Certificate format and data on a secure database.
There is no restriction in the number of copies of the Certificate sent to the customer or
retained by the originator.
The Certificate that accompanies the item may be attached to the item by being placed in
an envelope for durability.

3 COMPLETION OF THE APPROVED CERTIFICATE BY THE ORIGINATOR

Except as otherwise stated, there must be an entry in all Blocks to make the document a
valid certificate.
Block 1 Pre-printed 'United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority'.
Block 2 Pre-printed 'UK CAA Approved Certificate'.
Block 3 A unique number must be pre-printed in this Block for Certificate control
and traceability purposes except that in the case of a computer gener-
ated document, the unique number need not be pre-printed where the
computer is programmed to produce the number.
Block 4 The information in this Block needs to satisfy two objectives:
1 to relate the Certificate to an organisation approval, for the purposes

of verifying authenticity and authority of the Certificate;
2 to provide a ready means of rapidly identifying the place of manufac-

ture and release, to facilitate traceability and communication in the
event of problems or queries.
Therefore, the name entered in the box is that of the organisation

approval holder who is responsible for making the final determination of
conformity or airworthiness, and whose Approval Reference Number is
quoted in Block 16. The name must be entered in exactly the same form
as appears in the Approval Certificate held by the organisation.
The address(es) entered in Block 4 will assist in the identification of the

approval holder and in identifying the place of release.
If the place of manufacture and release is one of the organisation

addresses listed on the Approval Certificate, then that is the only address
needed in this Block.
If the place of manufacture and release is a location which is NOT listed in

the Approval Certificate then two addresses are required. The first
address will be the address of the approval holder (as listed in the
Approval Certificate) and a second address entered to identify the place
of manufacture and release.
This Block may be pre-printed. Logo of the production approval holder,

etc., is permitted if it can be contained within the Block.
Block 5 The purpose is to reference work order/contract/invoice or any other

internal organisational process such that a fast traceability system can be
established. The use of the Block for such traceability is mandatory in the
absence of item Serial Numbers or batch numbers in Block 11. When not
used, state N/A.
Block 6 The Block is provided for the convenience of the organisation issuing the
Certificate to permit easy cross-reference to the 'Remarks' Block 13 by
the use of line item numbers. Block 6 must be completed where there is
more than one line item.
Where a number of items are to be released on the Certificate, it is

permissible to use a separate listing cross-referring Certificate and list to
each other.

Block 7 The name or description of the item must be given. Preference must be
given to use of the Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC) designation.
Block 8 State the Part Number. Preference must be given to use of the IPC
number designation.
Block 9 Used to indicate the type-approved applications for which the released
items are eligible for installation, based on information provided by the
design approval holder. The following entries are permitted:
a) At least one specific or series aircraft, propeller, or engine model as

identified by the design approval holder. In case of engine or propeller
release, state the aircraft approved applications, or, if application is
not specific, state 'type-certificated engine/propeller'.
b) 'None', to be used only when it is known that the items do not yet
have a type-approved application, for example: pending type-certifi-
cate, for test only, pending approved data. If this category is used,
then appropriate explanatory information must be provided in Block
13 and new items may only be released for Conformity purposes.
c) 'Various' if known to be eligible for installation on multiple products,
according to a procedure approved by the CAA.
In the case of multiple applications it is acceptable for this Block to con-

tain cross reference to an attached document which lists such applica-
tions.
Any information in Block 9 does not constitute authority to fit the item to
a particular aircraft, engine or propeller. The User/Installer must confirm
via documents such as the Parts Catalogue, Service Bulletins, etc., that
the item is eligible for the particular installation.
Any information in Block 9 does not necessarily mean that the product,
parts or appliances are only eligible for installation on the listed model(s).
Nor does it guarantee that the product, parts or appliances are eligible for
installation on all entries in Block 9. Eligibility may be affected by modifi-
cation or configuration changes.
Where a part is identified by the design holder in accordance with offi-

cially recognised Standards, then the part is considered a Standard Part
and release with an Approved Certificate is not necessary. However
where a production approval holder releases a standard part with an
Approved Certificate then it must be able to demonstrate that it is in con-
trol of the manufacture of that part.
Block 10 State the quantity of items being released.
Block 11 State the Serial Number (or Batch Number) of the item if applicable. If not
applicable, state 'N/A'.
Block 12 Enter one or a combination of appropriate standard words from the fol-
lowing table. The table lists, in quotes, the standard words permitted for
use when releasing new items prior to entry into service, i.e. the items
have not been previously used in operational service. It also details the
circumstances and conditions under which they may be used. In all cases
the certification rules relating to Block 14 apply, the appropriate box is to
be marked, and Block 15 is to be signed.

Block 12 TABLE OF STANDARD WORDS FOR NEW PARTS

(cont)
1 'MANUFACTURED'
a) The production of a new item in conformity with the applicable

design data, or
b) re-certification by the original manufacturer after rectification work on

an item, previously released under paragraph 1(a), which has been
found to be unserviceable prior to entry into service, e.g., defective,
in need of inspection or test, or shelf life expired. Details of the origi-
nal release and the rectification work are to be entered in Block 13, or
re-certification of new items from conformity purpose to airworthi-
ness purpose at the time of approval of the applicable design data,
provided that the items conform to the approved design data. An
explanation of the basis of release and details of the original release
are to be entered in Block 13.
2 'INSPECTED'/'TESTED'
The examination of a previously released new item:
a) to establish conformity with the applicable design data, or
b) in accordance with a customer-specified standard or specification,

details of which are to be entered in Block 13, or
c) to establish serviceability and condition for safe operation prior to re-

release as a spare, where the item has been obtained with an EASA
Form 1 or Approved Certificate. An explanation of the basis of release
and details of the original release are to be entered in Block 13.
3 'MODIFIED'
The alteration, by the original manufacturer, of a previously released item

prior to entry into service. Details of the alteration and the original release
are to be entered in Block 13.
The above statements must be supported by reference to the approved

data/manual/specification. Such information shall be identified in either
Block 12 or 13.
Block 13 It is necessary to state any information in this Block, either directly or by

reference to supporting documentation, that identifies particular data or
limitations relating to the item being released that are necessary for the
User/Installer to make the final airworthiness determination of the item.
The information must be clear, complete, and provided in a form and
manner which is adequate for the purpose of making such a determina-
tion.
Each statement must be clearly identified as to which item it relates.

If there is no statement, state 'None'.

Block 13 Examples of conditions which would necessitate statements in Block 13

(cont) are:
• when the certificate is used for conformity purposes the following

statement must be entered at the beginning of Block 13:
'ONLY FOR CONFORMITY, NOT ELIGIBLE FOR INSTALLATION ON
IN-SERVICE TYPE-CERTIFICATED AIRCRAFT / ENGINE /
PROPELLER';
• when the design data is not approved by the CAA, then the competent
authority of the third country responsible for the approval of the design
data must be identified and the following statement must be entered
together with a reference identifying the approval:
'DESIGN DATA APPROVED BY <identify the responsible competent
authority of a third country and the approval reference>';
• re-certification of new items from conformity purpose to
airworthiness purpose at the time of approval of the applicable design
data, provided that the items conform to the approved design data.
Provided that no change in design has occurred during the design data
approval process, the manufacturer may state that the design data has
been approved and that provided the specific component is still in the
condition it was when it was shipped to the user/installer, the component
is now eligible to be installed. The manufacturer must make this state-
ment on a second Approved Certificate where in addition to any other
necessary remarks, appropriate explanatory information must be pro-
vided. The following wording must be used: 'RE-CERTIFICATION OF
NEW PARTS FROM CONFORMITY TO AIRWORTHINESS: THIS DOCU-
MENT ONLY CERTIFIES THE APPROVAL OF THE DESIGN DATA TO
WHICH THIS ITEM WAS (THESE ITEMS WERE) MANUFACTURED, BUT
DOES NOT COVER CONFORMITY/CONDITION AFTER RELEASE OF
THE INITIAL APPROVED CERTIFICATE REF……..'
Approved Certificate (both for 'Conformity purposes' and for 'Airworthi-

ness purposes') must be generated by the same organisation, i.e. the
original manufacturer or prime manufacturer, whichever raised the origi-
nal Approved Certificate for Conformity purposes.
• For complete engines and propellers the applicable type-certificate, or

equivalent, must be referenced.
• For complete engines, a statement of compliance with the applicable
emissions requirements current at the date of manufacture of the
engine.
• Usage restriction for repaired items.
• Modification standard.
• Alternative approved items supplied.
• Concessions applicable.
• Non-compliance with certification specifications.
• Details of repair work carried out or reference to a document where
this is stated.
• Compliance with, or non-compliance with Airworthiness Directives or
Service Bulletins.
• Information on life limited items.

• Condition of items or reference to a document detailing this

information.
• Manufacturing date or cure date.
• Shelf life data.
• Shortages
• Time Since New (TSN), Time Since Overhaul (TSO), etc.
• Re-certification of previously released ‘new’ items.
Block 14 This Block may only be used to indicate the status of new items.
The main purpose of the Certificate is to release items for airworthiness
purposes, which means conformity with approved design data and in
condition for safe operation.
This airworthiness certification is valid in the UK.
The certificate may also be used as a Conformity Certificate when items

conform to applicable design data which are not approved for a reason
which is stated in Block 13 (e.g., pending type-certificate, for test only,
pending approved data).
In this case the following additional statement must be entered at the

beginning of Block 13 itself and not in a separate document: 'ONLY FOR
CONFORMITY, NOT ELIGIBLE FOR INSTALLATION ON IN-SERVICE
TYPE-CERTIFICATED AIRCRAFT/ENGINE/PROPELLER'.
Mixtures of items released for Airworthiness and for Conformity pur-

poses are not permitted in the same certificate. Also refer to the notes
for completion of Block 9.
Block 15 The hand-written normal signature of a person who has written authority
from an approved production organisation to make Certifications in
respect of new items. Use of a stamp instead of a signature is not per-
mitted, but the authorised person may add a stamp impression to his or
her signature to aid recognition. Subject to the agreement of the CAA in
any particular case, computer-generated signatures are permitted if it can
be demonstrated that an equivalent level of control, traceability and
accountability exists.
Block 16 State the full authorisation reference given by the CAA to the organisa-
tion releasing the new items.
Block 17 The name of the person signing Block 15, printed, typed, or written in a
legible form.
Block 18 The date on which Block 15 is signed, in the format day/month/year. The
month must be stated in letters (sufficient letters must be used so there
can be no ambiguity as to the month intended).
Block 19 Not used and strike out for release of new items.

Fuel Additives – Health Hazards
1 Fuel anti-icing additive is used in a wide range of the smaller jet-engined fixed wing aircraft
and also in helicopters. The additive contains Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether, which is
an extremely toxic substance when inhaled or absorbed through the skin. The usual meth-
od of dispensing the additive into the fuel when gravity re-fuelling, is by means of portable
aerosol type containers. The most widely used of these comes under the trade name of
‘Prist’.
2 Whenever using these containers of anti-icing additive, great care must be taken to avoid
inhalation or splashing of the additive on to the skin. A long-sleeved garment should be
worn to cover the arms, gloves should be worn and goggles used for eye protection. Any
clothing contaminated by accidental splashing should be promptly removed and the skin
washed with soap and water. If anti-icing additive inadvertently enters the eyes, they
should be flushed with water and a doctor should be consulted.
3 Dispensers are available for underwing pressure re-fuelling systems and when using this
method the personnel carrying out the re-fuelling should still wear gloves to prevent con-
tamination by any small spillage from the re-fuelling couplings.
4 Further information on the general handling and storage of Prist or other anti-icing additive
can be obtained from the appropriate fuel company.
5 The information and recommendations of this Notice are intended to prevent unnecessary
hazard to aircraft servicing personnel; it should not be construed to be a complete state-
ment of the provisions necessary to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act, the
responsibility for administration of which rests with the Health and Safety Executive.

Information For Continued Airworthiness Of UK Manufactured Aircraft

1 INTRODUCTION
The attention of operators of aircraft manufactured in the United Kingdom and of the Type
Design Organisations of those aircraft is drawn to this Notice which concerns the scope of
continued airworthiness information to be expected from the UK in respect of all
aeroplanes and rotorcraft. In due course, it is intended to expand the scope of this Notice
to encompass engines, balloons and airships.
The purpose of this Notice is to provide information only. Nothing in it should be taken as
overruling any written statement which may be given at any time by the CAA in respect of
any given aircraft.
2 DUTIES OF TYPE DESIGN ORGANISATIONS

2.1 The attention of United Kingdom Type Design Organisations is drawn to their obligations
under BCAR Chapter A5-1 and Airworthiness Notice No. 36, in respect of the provision and
publication of information relating to the Continued Airworthiness of aeroplanes.
2.2 BCAR Chapter A5-1 requires the Type Design Organisation to promulgate such information
and ICAO Annex 8, Part II places responsibility on the CAA to transmit such information to
other Contracting States which have advised that they have aircraft of the specific Type on
their Registers.
2.3 Where a UK Type Design Organisation no longer exists or fails to discharge its
responsibilities to provide the minimum provisions in respect of continuing airworthiness
to enable ICAO Annex 8 to be satisfied (i.e. Paragraph 1.1(d), (e) and (f) of BCAR Chapter
A5-1), the CAA will review all options to maintain the ICAO Annex 8 certification status for
the type. These will include:
(a) finding another suitably approved organisation to take over the type design responsi-
bility, or
(b) where the aircraft is a simple old vintage type, finding a suitably capable organisation
who will enter into a Type Responsibility Agreement with the CAA (see 2.4 below) or
(c) CAA taking the responsibility directly (see 2.5 below).
2.4 Holders of a Type Responsibility Agreement in accordance with BCAR A5-1, para 4,
although not meeting the criteria of a Type Design Organisation, are deemed to be capable
of monitoring the continued airworthiness of the type to enable CAA to maintain its ICAO
Annex 8 responsibilities.
2.5 Where neither a Type Design Organisation nor a Type Responsibility Agreement exist, in
accordance with ICAO Continuing Airworthiness Manual Part 1, Chapter 3, para 3.2, CAA
may maintain the type certification status by either:
(a) taking the ICAO Annex 8 responsibility itself, and/or
(b) placing a limit on the validity of the type certificate (or equivalent) until such time as
service experience reveals an unsafe condition with no organisation able to submit
proposals for modification.

3 UK AIRCRAFT TYPES HAVING CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS SUPPORT

Civil Owned Aircraft Operating Under Contract To The Ministry Of Defence

(MoD)
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Civil Aviation Authority has been approached on a number of occasions by civil
organisations for advice regarding the operation of civil aircraft for the MoD. The purpose
of this Airworthiness Notice is to explain the role of the CAA in respect of such operations.
1.2 The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has contracted civil organisations to provide support
services. This has included the maintenance of military operated and registered aircraft
used in transport, communication and training roles. All military registered aircraft are
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of State for Defence.
1.3 The scope of these contracts has developed to such an extent that civilian organisations
have been requested to provide the aircraft and training staff as well as the maintenance
support for the envisaged operation. It is expected that further contracts for support by
civilian organisations will be offered for tender.
2 CIVIL REGISTERED AIRCRAFT Any civil registered aircraft operating on contract to the
MoD remain under the jurisdiction of the CAA. The provisions of the Air Navigation Order
and Regulation (EC) No. 1592/2002 as applicable apply to these aircraft at all times.
3 CIVIL OWNED MILITARY REGISTERED (COMR) AIRCRAFT

3.1 Background
3.1.1 In the context of using aircraft of civil type design for military purposes it has been recog-
nised by the MoD that certain roles assigned to such aircraft would require operation out-
side the provisions of the Air Navigation Order, e.g. flight below 500 ft and certain
helicopter winching operations. To facilitate such operations the aircraft should be placed
on the military register and be subject to regulation by the MoD. This has led to the concept
of aircraft that are owned by civilian organisations carrying military registrations, i.e. Civil
Owned Military Registered (COMR).
3.1.2 As the responsible authority for the COMR aircraft, the MoD has chosen to contract the
CAA to provide a continued airworthiness oversight service. Subject to the provisions of
this contract the CAA will permit the pooling of aircraft parts and appliances between the
COMR aircraft and civil registered aircraft which share the same type certificate.
NOTE: Civil operators who enter into a contract with the MoD to provide COMR aircraft will be
notified in writing by the CAA that the pooling of parts and appliances is permitted for those aircraft
included in the COMR contract and as such are subject to oversight by the CAA. The pooling of civil
and military parts and appliances is not permitted in respect of military registered aircraft that are not
subject to oversight by the CAA.
3.2 MoD /CAA Contract
3.2.1 The continued airworthiness oversight by the CAA will be aligned with the requirements
and procedures that would be applicable to a civil registered example of the aircraft type.
The principal elements for CAA oversight are as follows:

(a) COMR aircraft must be of a type deemed to have a certificate issued in accordance
with Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003, or BCAR Section A/B, and to have been issued
with a Certificate of Airworthiness by the CAA (signifying compliance with ICAO An-
nex 8 requirements), prior to transfer of the individual aircraft to the Military Register.
(b) Maintenance of COMR aircraft shall be undertaken by an organisation holding a Part-
145 maintenance approval for the aircraft type.
(c) Certification of maintenance on COMR aircraft is to be by personnel authorised by the
Part-145 approved maintenance organisation in accordance with the provisions of Air-
worthiness Notice No. 14, and the associated supplements.
(d) COMR aircraft and the associated records are to be maintained in accordance with a
maintenance schedule/programme approved by the CAA.
(e) COMR aircraft and the associated records will be subject to an annual/triennial survey
by the CAA, equivalent to a Certificate of Airworthiness renewal survey, commencing
12/36 months after the date of transfer of the aircraft to the Military Register. The
Part-145 approved maintenance organisation will be required to notify the CAA Appli-
cations and Certification Section that the annual/triennial survey is due, at least 30
days prior to the due date. Flight testing of the aircraft will be required in accordance
with BCAR A/B 3-3 and A/B 3-5.
(f) COMR aircraft are to be operated in accordance with the applicable approved flight
manual. Any changes to the flight manual must be approved by EASA or the CAA as
appropriate in accordance with Part-21 or BCAR Chapter A/B7-2 respectively.
NOTE: In accordance with MoD policy, promulgated in Joint Service Publication 553, the MoD
will supplement the conditions and limitations of aircraft operation within a service regulated
flying environment through the issue of a Military Aircraft Release.
(g) Modifications to COMR aircraft must be approved by EASA or the CAA as appropriate
in accordance with Part-21 or BCAR Chapter A2-5 or B2-2 paragraph 7 respectively.
NOTE: Modifications to install military equipment, which does not hold civil approval, will need
to be assessed and substatiated as being of no hazard to the aircraft by an appropriate Part-21
or BCAR A8–8 Group E2 approved design organisation. Operational performance of such
modifications will not be evaluated other than the effect on aircraft safety.
(h) All parts and appliances to be used on COMR aircraft, except special role equipment
of military origin with no civil approval, are to be maintained by a Part-145 approved
maintenance organisation. Special role equipment of military origin should be
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
(i) COMR aircraft must remain in compliance with Airworthiness Directives, mandatory
modifications, inspections and changes to approved documentation applicable to the
type as specified in CAA Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 747 - Mandatory
Requirements for Airworthiness.

Overhauls, Modifications, Repairs And Replacements to Aircraft not

Exceeding 2730 kg with a National Certificate of Airworthiness in the
Special Category
1 There have been a number of accidents to aircraft in the above Category on which it was
subsequently established that work had been done which was such that, under Article 10
of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (as amended), the Certificate of Airworthiness may have
ceased to be in force.
2 Article 10 (a) of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (as amended), provides that a Certificate of
Airworthiness issued in respect of an aircraft shall cease to be in force if the aircraft, or
such of its equipment as is necessary for the airworthiness of the aircraft, is overhauled,
repaired or modified, or if any part of the aircraft or of such equipment is removed or is re-
placed, otherwise than in a manner and with material of a type approved by the Authority
either generally or in relation to a class of aircraft or to the particular aircraft.
3 Although Articles 16(5) and 16(6) of the Order specifically excludes certain Special Catego-
ry aircraft from the requirements for the issue of Certificates of Release to Service, the pro-
visions of Article 10 apply to all aircraft without exception. Any person, therefore, who
intends to undertake work on an aircraft covered by this Notice should only do so when he
is in possession of adequate knowledge of the tasks involved, has access to the necessary
facilities and the relevant maintenance, overhaul or repair manuals, and uses parts or ma-
terials which are known to satisfy CAA requirements. If any doubt exists as to whether
these conditions are met, the person concerned should seek advice from a CAA approved
organisation or a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer.
4 It is emphasised that a person who flies an aircraft when the Certificate of Airworthiness
has ceased to be in force by virtue of Article 10 of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (as amend-
ed), may render himself liable to prosecution for contravention of Article 8 of the Order and
there may be other serious consequences.

The Selection And Procurement Of Electronic Components

1 INTRODUCTION
The selection and procurement of electronic components for use within aircraft equipment
or for direct fitment to airframes continues to present problems for those concerned with
airworthiness procedures for Civil Aircraft. This Notice prescribes how the relevant British
Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR) should be applied in order to achieve design and
quality control of equipment and components.
2 DEFINITION
2.1 The term Electronic Components, as interpreted by the BSI and other agencies, may
include such items as micro-switches or electrical connectors which are likely to be fitted
directly to an airframe. More conventionally the term Component also refers to parts such
as capacitors and resistors which have no method of mounting other than by the soldered
electrical connections. The application of such terms is usually within an equipment which
itself is approved for installation in an aircraft.
2.2 For the purpose of this Notice such items are referred to as:-
(a) Aircraft Components, for items fitted directly to airframe or engine, and
(b) Component Parts, for items fitted within equipment. BCAR Chapter A4-8 gives fur-
ther definition of the terms used in this Notice.
3 DESIGN RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Aircraft Components The requirements for electrical aircraft components are given in
BCAR Chapter A4-8 and JAR 25.1351 to 25.1363, the installation requirements of electrical
items is further considered in BCAR Section D6-1.
3.2 For the correct interpretation of this Notice it is important to understand the significance of
the terms ‘Controlled’ and ‘Uncontrolled’ as applied to electrical components. For items
used as Aircraft Components as defined here, the known or probable use will determine
the approval category and, for Controlled Items, the requirements of paragraph 5 of BCAR
Chapter A4-8 will need to be followed as appropriate. The term ‘Uncontrolled’ relates solely
to the status of items in their functional role in an aircraft and does not imply that such
components may be ignored. Paragraph 2 of BCAR Chapter D6-1 requires those designing
installations to consider the suitability of ‘Unclassified parts and Equipment’ and, where
necessary, these ‘shall be controlled ..... to a standard to ensure compliance with the
relevant requirements of ....... Section D’. Thus the design and build standard of the
'Uncontrolled Item' may still be subject to a measure of control under the CAA procedures
prescribed in this Notice to ensure that no new unassessed failure modes are introduced.
3.3 The selection and use of Aircraft Components is normally the responsibility of an Approved
Organisation with appropriate Terms of Approval under BCAR Section A procedure. Such
organisations need to satisfy themselves, and ultimately the CAA, as to the suitability of an
equipment in a given application. This is most conveniently done by obtaining a Declaration
of Design and Performance (DDP) to a format based upon that given in BCAR Chapter A4-
8 paragraph 7, BS 3G100 Part 1 or ISOR224. The authorisation of the DDP by an Approved
Signatory within an Approved Organisation and its acceptance by the user constitutes

Approval under Component Procedures. If the design authority for an equipment

additionally obtains approval for their product from the CAA then the equipment is said to
be ‘Accessory Approved’. It is important to note, however, that ‘Accessory Approval’ does
not absolve the user from ensuring that the item to be used as an Aircraft Component is
suitable for the particular application.
3.4 The assurance that the products obtained are as declared on the DDP is a function of a
clearly defined purchase order requiring ‘CAA Release’. (See paragraph 5) In the context of
this Notice it is essential that users appreciate that generalised claims that an item is
approved can only relate to the conformity with specifications, compliance with which
may, or may not, have been validated by a third party. Approval for aircraft use is a function
of selection by an authorised Design Authority who will, in effect, approve the application
of the item.
4 COMPONENT PARTS – SELECTION

4.1 The designer of a piece of equipment which utilises individual component parts has
freedom of choice in the matter of selection provided that the equipment taken as a whole
meets its design specification and the relevant Airworthiness Requirements. The
Requirements of BCAR Chapters A4-1, A4-2 and A4-3 have to be satisfied and this
establishes the need for control of the identification, reliability and modification standard of
component parts. Users and overhaulers of equipment need to be able to procure
component parts which will maintain the established and accepted reliability of the total
equipment. It follows that all necessary information regarding special testing, selection or
condition of component parts shall be given in Overhaul Manuals.
4.2 Items produced to BS 9000 Specifications may well be suitable if the defined level of
quality is compatible with the declared reliability for the total equipment, as further noted
in paragraph 7.
5 USER RESPONSIBILITY
5.1 Users and overhaulers of equipment are responsible for showing compliance with the
requirements of BCAR Chapter A4-2 when obtaining replacement 'component parts' as
stated in paragraph 4 of this Notice. It is emphasized that overhaulers of equipment are
required to obtain authorisation before making substitutions or in any way deviating from
the spares or replacements listed in the relevant Approved Overhaul or Maintenance
Manuals of a 'controlled' item of equipment. In all cases of difficulty in procurement of the
items referred to in Approved Manuals, the acceptance of alternatives must include
authorisation by an appropriate Design Organisation.
5.2 BCAR Chapter A4-8 paragraph 6.1 provides guidance on the control of quality of
components obtained from overseas suppliers and Airworthiness Notice No. 11 relates to
Acceptance of Aeronautical Parts.
6 THE APPROVED CERTIFICATE

6.1 Users are reminded that the function of an Approved Certificate issued by a CAA Approved
Organisation (who will hold an Approval Number DAI/ xxxx/ xx or AI/ xxxx/ xx) is intended
to ensure that the purchaser obtains the items which are ordered. The use of an Approved
Certificate does not automatically confer any 'CAA Approval' status on the product and it
is the responsibility of the purchaser to reference the required part or drawing number on
his order, together with any other necessary definition. The issue of a proprietary item on
an Approved Certificate indicates that the producing organisation is approved and that
appropriate CAA procedures have been followed, and will be followed in the event of any
subsequent enquiry. It is apparent, therefore, that it is not necessary for products to be
Design Approved by the CAA before they are released unless this is a condition of the
order.

6.2 Purchasers should note that airworthiness procedures are applicable to airborne
equipment and requests for ‘CAA release’ should be restricted to items which fall within
the requirements of BCARs and where, therefore, the release has significance.
7 BS 9000 ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF ASSESSED QUALITY

Users proposing to accept components supplied to any form of BS 9000 specification or
other specification systems employing similar formats should note and understand the
assured quality aspect which is employed. Statistical sampling techniques essentially
involve an element of risk which is determined by the Acceptance Quality Level (AQL) and
sampling plans referenced in the specifications. The CAA will expect users of BS 9000
components to hold copies of specifications concerned and to be in a position to appreciate
the significance of the quality assurance techniques employed in these and other
specifications involving sampling techniques.

Aircraft Field Loadable Software (FLS) and Database Field Loadable Data (DFLD)
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The CAA has become aware of a number of occasions where a lack of adequate control of
FLS and DFLD by operators has given rise to safety related occurrences.
1.2 The purpose of this Airworthiness Notice is to provide guidance for operators and
maintenance organisations on the configuration management, procurement, embodiment
and tracking of aircraft FLS and DFLD to ensure that continued airworthiness and operating
safety standards are met.
1.3 The content of this Airworthiness Notice is based upon established as well as developing
international standards.
1.4 It is recognised that operators and maintenance organisations may have already
implemented satisfactory alternatives that meet the intent of this Airworthiness Notice. It
will not be necessary for those organisations to change these procedures if they already
meet the intent of this notice.
1.5 The content of this notice should be used to supplement the content of the Type Certificate
(TC) or Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) holder’s instructions.
1.6 This Airworthiness Notice is technology focussed and the content should be considered as
applicable to any aircraft using this level of technology.
1.7 This Airworthiness Notice does not apply to software applications for Electronic Flight
Bags. For guidance on this subject the reader should refer to JAA Administrative and
Guidance Material, Section Four: Operations, Part Three: Temporary Guidance Leaflets
(JAR-OPS): Leaflet No. 36: Approval Of Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs)
2 DEFINITIONS
2.1 For the purpose of this Airworthiness Notice the following definitions apply:
(a) Aircraft Configuration List (ACL): A list of Line Replaceable Units (LRU) and
modules with Loadable Software Aircraft Parts (LSAPs) that are applicable to a
specific aircraft. This list may be contained on data supplied by the Type Certificate
(TC) Holder in a Service Bulletin (SB), Service Information Letter (SIL) or Illustrated
Parts Catalogue (IPC), or as a separate tracking system.
(b) Field Loadable Software (FLS): Software (executable code) that can be loaded
without removing the system or equipment from the aircraft. FLS can be loaded onto
an aircraft system by a maintenance mechanic/technician in accordance with defined
maintenance manual procedures. FLS can be configured as a component of target
hardware and thus affect the part number of the target hardware. There are
numerous types of FLS, but most can be categorised as follows:
(i) Loadable Software Aircraft Part (LSAP): FLS that is required to meet a specific
airworthiness or operational requirement or regulation and not considered as a
component of the target hardware, but is considered to be part of the aircraft
approved design and therefore an aircraft part requiring formal controlled release
documentation (EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130-3).

(ii) User Modifiable Software (UMS): Software declared by the aircraft Type
Certificate holder’s design organisation (or Supplementary Type Certificate
holder’s design organisation) as being intended for modification by the aircraft
operator, usually without review by the CAA, the aircraft TC holder’s (or STC
holder’s) design organisation or the equipment manufacturer, if modified within
the constraints established during certification. Should the need arise to modify
the software outside of these constraints then the operator will need to seek
guidance from the CAA, the aircraft Type Certificate holder’s design organisation
(or Supplementary Type Certificate holder’s design organisation) and/or the
equipment manufacturer on how this should be accomplished.
(iii) Option Selectable Software (OSS): LSAP that contains approved and validated
components and combinations of components that may be activated or modified
by the aircraft operator within defined TC/STC Holder boundaries.
(c) Database Field Loadable Data (DFLD): Data that is field loadable into target
hardware databases.
(i) Database: A term generally misused to describe the “data” that is field loaded
into target hardware. However, the database is actually an embedded item that
resides within the target hardware and is not, itself, field loadable. The process
normally described as “loading a database” actually loads a data file onto the
target hardware’s embedded database. The updating of the data held on a
database, by the uploading of a new data file, will normally be conducted to
provide for modifications to operating functions, including the revision of the
aircraft performance or navigational data. It should be noted that whilst “LSAP” is
only associated with FLS (executable code), certain DFLD should be treated in the
same manner, in that they will have their own part number requiring control as an
aircraft part and should be accompanied by controlled release documentation
(EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130-3). The form of release required for different types of
DFLD is defined in paragraph 3.
(ii) Data File: A specific file that contains the actual data that is the object of the
database and is field loaded.
(d) Target Hardware: The hardware such as Line Replaceable Units (LRU) and modules
that are intended to be loaded with FLS or DFLD.
(i) Examples of target hardware for LSAP (FLS) could be: an Electronic Engine Control
(EEC), a Digital Flight Data Acquisition Unit (DFDAU), an Auxiliary Power Unit’s
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), a Flight Guidance Computer (FGC), or an Integrated
Modular Avionics (IMA) Unit.
(ii) Examples of target hardware with databases that could be field loaded with DFLD
that need to be tracked in the same manner as an aircraft part, could include: a
Flight Management Computer (FMC), a Terrain Awareness Warning System
(TAWS) Computer, or an IMA Unit.
(iii) Examples of target hardware for UMS could be: Aircraft Condition Monitoring
System (ACMS) and In-Flight Entertainment System (IFE).
(iv) Examples of target hardware for OSS could be an IMA Unit.
(e) Media Distribution of FLS or Data files: A process whereby FLS or Data files are
moved from the production organisation or supplier to a remote site (generally the
operator) using storage media.
(f) Storage Media: Device that contains a copy of the FLS or Data files such as a
diskette, Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card,
Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD ROM), Onboard Replaceable Modules
(OBRM), file servers or portable data loaders.
(g) Electronic Distribution of FLS or Data files: A process whereby FLS or DFLD are
moved from the producer or supplier to a remote site (generally the operator) without
the use of FLS storage media.

3 RELEASE OF FLS AND DFLD

3.1 Methods of Release
The release of FLS and DFLD is dependant upon whether it is required to meet a specific
airworthiness or operational requirement, or certification specification.
3.2 Release of Non-Required FLS or DFLD
For FLS or DFLD that is not required to meet a specific airworthiness or operational
requirement or regulation, or certification specification, a Certificate of Conformity should
be sufficient.
3.3 Release of Required FLS or DFLD
Where the FLS or DFLD is required to perform a function to meet a specific airworthiness
or operational requirement or regulation, or certification specification, the following should
be taken into account.
3.3.1 LSAP
An EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130-3 should accompany any FLS (executable code) that is re-
quired to meet a specific airworthiness or operational requirement or regulation, or certifi-
cation specification, i.e. LSAP. Examples of LSAP that would require such release could be
FLS that is associated with any of the examples of target hardware in paragraph 2(d)(i)
above.
3.3.2 DFLD
An EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130-3 should accompany any DFLD (data file) that is required to
meet a specific airworthiness or operational requirement or regulation, or certification
specification. Examples of DFLD that require such release could be those associated with
IMA, as mentioned in paragraph 2(d)(ii) above.
3.3.3 Navigational Data
A “Letter of Acceptance” or equivalent should accompany the release of any navigational
database’s DFLD because an EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130-3 cannot be provided.
3.4 Release Equivalency
It should be noted that Certificates of Conformance are not considered to be equivalent to
either an EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130-3.
3.5 Electronic Distribution Release
The Electronic Distribution of FLS or Data files should recognise this requirement and
provide an equivalent means of formally controlled release. This will need to be agreed by
the CAA.
4 PROCUREMENT AND DOCUMENTATION OF FLS AND DFLD

4.1 FLS and DFLD
FLS and DFLD are normally delivered with the new aircraft and contained in the Target
Hardware and in media sets in binders or storage bins, noting that the part number of the
Target Hardware may not necessarily indicate the loaded software part number. (See
Appendix 1 Paragraph 1.4(b))
4.2 LSAP
Procured LSAP must be obtained from an approved source, using the part number
specified and accompanied by an EASA Form 1 or an equivalent acceptable to the CAA.
The part number can typically be confirmed as approved by reference to documents such
as the IPC, SB and SIL, or to an appropriately approved modification (TC/ATC/STC).
4.3 DFLD
Data Field Loadable Data files used for the update of databases such as Navigational
Databases, Terrain Databases and Model/Engine Databases should be acquired from a
source that is acceptable to the Target Hardware Manufacturer, and accompanying
documentation and DFLD Storage Media containing the data file should clearly identify this.

The DFLD storage media should also be annotated with the originator identification and
quality/conformity markings. The Electronic Distribution of DFLD should recognise these
points and provide an equivalent level of control agreed by the CAA. The responsibility of
obtaining appropriate confirmation of the authenticity, performance specification and
accuracy of the DFLD rests with the operator. It is also recommended that a "confidence"
check of the received data be accomplished to ensure that the new data satisfies the
intended use. The DFLD should be subjected to a configuration control process acceptable
to the CAA (see Appendix 1 paragraph 1)
4.4 UMS
UMS is FLS that is normally modified by the operator, their contracted maintenance
organisation or approved vendor using the appropriate methods identified during initial
certification. The responsibility for obtaining adequate documentation confirming the
appropriateness of the software rests with the operator. If an instance occurs, when a
change to target hardware’s software that has been defined as UMS actually modifies
aircraft performance information presented to the flight crew, CAA advice should be sought
as approval maybe required and the software classification of UMS may be removed.
4.5 Distribution of FLS and DFLD
FLS and Data Files can be distributed to the aircraft operator using a variety of methods,
which include use of software media (such as diskettes), CD ROMs, PCMCIA Cards or
electronically, such as via the Internet. The operator is responsible for establishing a
process to ensure that the FLS or data file received is the FLS or data file approved and that
the FLS or data file has not been corrupted (e.g. making use of a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC)). Complying with the aircraft manufacturers recommendations and utilising the
recommended tooling could achieve this.
4.5.1 Media Distribution of FLS or DFLD
If the FLS or DFLD is to be supplied using diskettes, CD ROMs or PCMCIA cards the fol-
lowing should be considered:
(a) The FLS or DFLD should be virus checked upon receipt and stored in a controlled
location if not being immediately loaded onto an aircraft system. (This requirement
assumes that the media store has appropriate protections and controls to prevent
unauthorised access to the media. If this is in any doubt, the FLS or DFLD should be
virus checked immediately prior to loading it onto an aircraft system). The target
hardware manufacturer should provide guidance on how this virus checking should
be accomplished.
(b) The method of transportation should be appropriate to ensure that it does not result
in damage or corruption of the storage media or FLS or DFLD. If this is in any doubt,
the FLS or DFLD should not be loaded onto an aircraft system.
(c) The FLS or DFLD should be accompanied by the appropriate release paperwork, as
stated in paragraph 3.
4.5.2 Electronic Distribution of FLS or DFLD
EDS is increasingly being utilised to transfer FLS or DFLD from the supplier to an opera-
tor. The obvious advantages of this are the speed of distribution and the removal of the
need for physical transport media. This should be accomplished to an acceptable standard
(see Appendix 1 paragraph 1). Such an acceptable standard would normally be that of
meeting the intent of the guidance in this notice. If the FLS or DFLD is supplied over the
Internet this should be accomplished in accordance with a procedure detailed in
Appendix 1, paragraph 1.3.
5 FLS AND DFLD STORAGE MEDIA HANDLING

The operator is responsible for ensuring the suitability of any storage media used. In order
to ensure FLS and DFLD integrity, the storage media should be kept and processed in an
environment that is not detrimental to that storage media, noting any limitations
associated with that media. Additional information may be found in Appendix 1.

6 FLS AND DFLD LOADING AND CERTIFICATION

6.1 Prior to loading
Prior to loading FLS or DFLD onto the aircraft the operator should consider the points in
Appendix 1.
6.2 Loading FLS or DFLD
Loading FLS or DFLD onto aircraft target hardware should be carried out and verified in
accordance with the established processes and procedures detailed in the maintenance
manual or associated approved maintenance or modification data.
6.3 Recording aircraft FLS and DFLD configuration
All FLS and DFLD loading should be recorded in the Aircraft Configuration List (ACL), and
a copy kept on board the aircraft with a further copy also kept in the operators’ aircraft
maintenance records system.
6.4 Aircraft Release to Service
After any loading of FLS or DFLD a Certificate of Release to Service must be issued by an
appropriately authorised/licensed person.
7 REPLICATION OF FLS AND DFLD

7.1 FLS or DFLD copies
If FLS or DFLD copies are to be made by the aircraft operator for use within their
organisation, this should be accomplished using the aircraft type design organisation
approved FLS and DFLD Storage Media replication process. This replication should be
recorded in an Aircraft FLS/DFLD Replication Register and be traceable to the original
source from which copies were made. This is to ensure that this activity could be audited.
7.2 Release documentation
A copy of the original JAA Form One, EASA Form 1, FAA 8130-3 or other CAA accepted
release documentation, as defined in paragraph 3, should accompany the FLS or DFLD
Storage Media containing copies of the FLS or DFLD.
8 PROCEDURE
8.1 Configuration Control
It is essential that operators consider use of appropriate procedures such that at any time
they can determine the equipment, FLS and DFLD configuration of each aircraft in their
fleet.
8.2 Use of notice recommendations
Operators involved in the procurement, modification and embodiment of FLS and DFLD
should consider producing a documented procedure within their Company Procedures,
Maintenance Management Exposition (MME) or equivalent that describes their means of
implementing procedures recommended by this notice. Further guidance can be found
within Appendix 1 to this Notice. It is expected that any procedure would cover the
complete cycle from procurement specification; distribution methodology (e.g. Electronic
Distribution, media type etc.); receipt inspection and assessment through to embodiment;
subsequent testing and release to service. This process should also be considered for
inclusion in the operator’s internal audit programme.
8.3 Staff
Operators should ensure that sufficient numbers of competent staff are retained in order
to ensure that the intent of guidance within this Notice is met.

FLS and DFLD Control, Tooling and Loading

1 PROCEDURES FOR THE CONTROL OF FLS AND DFLD
The operator should consider providing the following for the control of FLS and DFLD
1.1 FLS and DFLD Register
A controlled FLS and DFLD register, which includes the following:
(a) The version of the FLS and DFLD owned;
(b) Which aircraft the FLS and DFLD are installed on;
(c) The aircraft, systems and equipment that they are only applicable to;
(d) The functions that the recorded FLS or DFLD performs;
(e) Where it is stored (on or off aircraft location, including the storage media) and who
has access to it;
(f) Who can decide whether an upgrade is needed and then authorise that upgrade; and
(g) A record of all replicated FLS/DFLD, traceable to the original source.
1.2 Storage Facility
An appropriate storage facility for the FLS and DFLD. While selecting an appropriate
location, the following should be taken in to account:
(a) Access to the location should be appropriately controlled.
(b) The environmental conditions within the location should be appropriate for the storage
of the FLS and DFLD media and provide protection against all forms of environmental
contamination, including water, fire, heat and electrical or magnetic fields.
(c) If the main source of the FLS and DFLD are an electronic store (e.g. a central database
of software programs) that store should be:
(i) Subject to configuration control processes.
NOTE: ED-12B/DO-178B provides criteria for such a process by defining the configuration
control process’s objectives as:
• Configuration items are identified.
• Baselines and traceability are established.
• Problem reporting, change control, change review, and configuration status
accounting are established.
• Archive, retrieval, and release are established.
• Software load control is established.
• Software life cycle environment control is established.
(ii) Appropriately isolated from the rest of the network to prevent unauthorised
access or contamination from viruses. This isolation can be achieved using a series
of access control functions and firewalls. However, protecting a networked
system against viruses is a complex issue and consideration should be given to
this store being separated from the network.
(d) An appropriate number of backups should be maintained utilising standard software
backup techniques.
1.3 FLS and DFLD Receipt Procedures
Specific procedures implemented for the receipt of FLS and DFLD that are transferred
using electronic distribution techniques should give consideration to the following:

(a) That the FLS or DFLD has come from an appropriate source and that sufficient
configuration control processes are in place to ensure that the correct data and/or
executable code will be supplied.
(b) That they are accompanied by suitable release documentation.
(c) That a record of purchase is created.
(d) That suitable controls are in place to prevent use of FLS and DFLD that have become
corrupted during its existence in any “open” environment, such as on the Internet.
(e) That means are provided to allow detection of corruption.
(f) That connecting a central electronic store for FLS and DFLD storage directly to the
Internet is avoided wherever possible.
However, where this cannot be avoided, or if the FLS or DFLD are ported straight from the
Internet to a central electronic store, a means to detect interference or corruption are
provided.
1.4 FLS and DFLD Loading Procedures
Specific procedures implemented for the loading of FLS and DFLD, to target hardware,
should consider the following:
(a) The criteria identified within the FLS and DFLD control register, defined in paragraph
1.1 above.
(b) The appropriate authority to embody FLS onto the aircraft (e.g. Aircraft
Manufacturer’s Service Bulletin) has been issued and received, i.e. Aircraft
Manufacturer’s SB or an STC.
NOTE: A vendor SB does not provide the authority to embody a different part number onto the
aircraft.
(c) The need for appropriate verification and recording of target hardware and FLS and
certain DFLD part number changes:
(i) For airborne equipment having separate part numbers for hardware and FLS/DFLD
the FLS/DFLD part numbers need not be displayed on the outside of the unit, as
long as it can be verified through some kind of electronic query. When new FLS/
DFLD is loaded into the unit, the same requirement applies and the approved FLS/
DFLD part number should be verified before the unit is released for service. It
should be noted, that in circumstances where only the top-level FLS/DFLD part
number is displayed for an entire FLS/DFLD load, that affects several items of
target hardware – such as might be found in IMA applications – the verification of
this number would be necessary.
(ii) It is the aircraft operator’s responsibility to ensure that the maintenance
organisation has entered the FLS/DFLD identification in the aircraft maintenance
records such that they can update the aircraft configuration information, such as
an ACL.
(iii) If airborne equipment has only one part number, which represents a specific
configuration of software and hardware, the unit identification on the nameplate
should be changed if new software is loaded. In order for this to be embodied on
the aircraft this should be accomplished in accordance with an Aircraft
Manufacturer’s Service Bulletin. The software part number stored in the target
computer after data loading should be verified electronically and confirmed to be
an approved configuration as detailed in the SB.
(d) Verification that the upgrade actually is needed.
(i) If the system is working as required and the FLS or DFLD upgrade is not
introducing a required solution or function addition or change, it is not always
necessary to upgrade the FLS or DFLD simply for the sake of upgrading. Equally,
it is possible that the upgrade could introduce problems that did not exist before.
(ii) It is also necessary to check any support agreements to ensure that customer
support for the FLS or DFLD will remain valid.

(e) Identify what has changed between the different versions of the FLS or DFLD. This
should include identifying and recording within the FLS and DFLD register the
problems that have been fixed and what functionality has been added or removed.
(See paragraph 1.1 (d) of this appendix.)
2 CONTROL OF FLS OR DFLD TOOLING
2.1 FLS or DFLD can be loaded into the Target Hardware using a variety of tools as recommended
and/or approved by the aircraft or target hardware manufacturer. These can include OEM
supplied tools, Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) tools or in-house developed tools.
2.1.1 There are a number of issues associated with FLS or DFLD tooling that the aircraft operator
would need to take into account if an alternative to the tooling recommended by the aircraft
or target hardware manufacturer was to be considered. Prior to seeking the aircraft or target
hardware manufacturer’s approval for any alternative tools’ use, the aircraft operator should
take the following items into account. These are associated with the general tool selection,
and the control and the suitability of those tools.
2.2 General Tool Selection
The following general issues should be considered when making a FLS or DFLD tool
selection:
(a) What function is the tool required to perform:
(i) Is it simply loading, leaving other tools or processes to perform compatibility checks
and validation tasks?
(ii) Is it loading and validating the final load, leaving initial compatibility checks to other
tools or processes?
(iii) Is it providing all the tasks associated with loading (compatibility checks, loading and
validation) and providing a diagnostic feature?
(iv) Any other combination of the above should be considered.
(b) Is the tool (which could be a laptop) able to be suitably controlled?
(c) Does the tool supplier have any previous experience in developing tools for the required
purpose?
(d) Will the tool supplier provide support and training?
(e) Does the tool provide all the needed functionality or will additional tools or processes be
needed?
(f) Does the tool provide the necessary confirmation of what has been loaded on to the
aircraft?
(g) Do any existing tools that have CAA acceptance already provide the required
functionality?
(h) How much dependence will be placed on the tool?
(i) Will the tool supplier provide support for the tool for the duration of its use?
(j) Is the tool widely used in the industry and does it have a good reputation?
(k) If the tool isn’t widely used in the industry, is there any other way to establish its
integrity?
(l) Will special training be required to use the tool?
(m) Are there any human factors issues associated with its use?
2.3 Specific Tool Selection – Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Commercial
Off The Shelf (COTS)
The issues detailed above apply to the selection of any tool, regardless of who supplies it. The
issues detailed below are specific, additional, considerations that need to be considered for
OEM and COTS Tools of software tools. If a tool is going to be supplied by the aircraft Type
Certificate holder (STC holder) or the equipment manufacturer, or where COTS tooling is
going to be supplied (COTS tools are considered to be those which were not supplied by the
aircraft Type Certificate holder (or STC holder) or the equipment manufacturer, or developed
by the airline/maintenance organisation) the following additional issues need to be
considered:

(a) Does the aircraft or target hardware manufacturer recommend it?

(b) Is the tool needed for the FLS or DFLD and aircraft in question?
(c) Was the tool actually developed for use with the FLS or DFLD and aircraft in question?
(d) If the tool was not specifically developed with the FLS or DFLD and aircraft in
question, is it compatible with them?
(e) Is the tool likely to be compatible with the whole fleet?
2.4 Specific Tool Selection – In-house developed tools
If an aircraft operator is considering developing their own tools the following additional
issues need to be considered:
(a) The tool must be developed such that it cannot corrupt the functionality of the aircraft
systems it is being used for.
(b) The aircraft operator or their organisation must have a sufficient understanding of the
internal aircraft system functionality to be sure of creating a tool that will work
correctly.
(c) The aircraft operator or their organisation must have personnel that are experienced
in writing tools for aircraft maintenance functions and the associated human factors
issues.
(d) The tool should be developed in a suitably controlled fashion.
(e) The operator should gain acceptance for the use of the tool from the aircraft or target
hardware manufacturer.
2.5 Control and suitability of Tools
If tools are to be used by the aircraft operator, specific processes should be introduced to
control their use. These processes should ensure that:
(a) The control of tools including Portable Electronic Devices, such as laptop PCs should
prevent the accidental or malicious transfer of viruses.
(b) Portable Electronic Devices should be equipped with up-to-date virus protection
software or virus scanned immediately before they are used to load FLS or DFLD on
to an aircraft system’s target hardware.
(c) The ability of the tool to actually run the software that enables loading should be
considered.
(d) Access to the tools should be controlled and recorded.

No. 45
Issue 2
21 March 2005
Implementation of the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 – Aviation:

Alcohol and Drugs
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The information contained in this Airworthiness Notice has been developed in conjunction
with the Department of Transport, the Home Office and the Police, and is consistent with
the criteria contained in the Police Protocol. It is anticipated that this will facilitate a
consistent approach by relevant parties.
1.2 The aim of this Airworthiness Notice is to inform Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers
of this new legislation and how it affects them in the performance of their duties.
2 LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND
2.1 The effect of intoxication, through alcohol or drugs, on aviation personnel has significant
safety implications. The Air Navigation Order (ANO), which is the main aviation safety
regulatory legislation, provides that no member of an aircraft’s crew, a licensed aircraft
maintenance engineer or an air traffic control officer shall be under the influence of alcohol
or drugs to such an extent as to impair his/her capacity to carry out their duties. The ANO
however, does not set a blood alcohol limit nor does it require a person who is suspected
of an alcohol or drugs offence to be subjected to a test.
2.2 In 1996, the Government issued a Consultation Paper on alcohol and drug testing for
aircraft crew and other safety critical civil aviation personnel, which proposed the
introduction of a blood/alcohol limit for certain aviation personnel, together with
corresponding Police powers of enforcement. Responses to the consultation were broadly
supportive of the Government's approach. Part 5 of the Railways and Transport Safety Act
2003 www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts2003/20030020.htm represents the first
suitable legislative opportunity to take forward these proposals and now brings aviation
into line with other transport modes in seeking to tackle alcohol or drug misuse among key
personnel. The Police testing and enforcement powers broadly mirror those currently
applied on our roads and railways and are based on an officer's reasonable suspicion that
an offence either has, or is in the process of being committed.
2.3 The blood/alcohol limit for aviation personnel is lower than that in shipping or on our roads
or railways, but for pilots reflects the Joint Aviation Requirement on Commercial Air
Transportation (JAR-OPS) - adopted by the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) in 1996 - which
requires that crew members of commercial aircraft should not commence a flight duty
period with a blood/alcohol level in excess of 20mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. The
adoption of this limit will go towards the harmonisation of standards across most of
Europe.
2.4 Enforcement of the provisions of the Act is the responsibility of the Police and the Crown
Prosecution Service. There is no provision for random testing.
3 IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 Part 5 of the Act was brought into force on 30 March 2004.

4 SUMMARY OF PART 5 OF THE RAILWAYS AND TRANSPORT SAFETY ACT 2003 AND
COMMENTARY ON ENFORCEMENT
4.1 This Part extends to the flight and cabin crew of an aircraft, air traffic controllers and
licensed aircraft maintenance engineers in the United Kingdom. It also applies to the crew
of an aircraft registered in the United Kingdom wherever it may be in the world. An
Explanatory Note may be found at www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/en/03en20-b.htm.
5 OFFENCES - BEING UNFIT FOR DUTY (SECTION 92)

5.1 Section 92 makes it an offence to perform an aviation function or an ancillary activity whilst
impaired through alcohol or drugs.
6 OFFENCES – PRESCRIBED LIMIT (SECTION 93)

6.1 This Section makes it an offence to perform or prepare to perform certain aviation-related
functions with more than a prescribed level of alcohol in the body.
6.2 The prescribed blood/alcohol alcohol limits are 20 milligrammes of alcohol per 100
millilitres of blood for those activities carried out by aircrew and air traffic controllers, and
80 milligrams per 100 millilitres for licensed aircraft maintenance engineers. The different
limits reflect the fact that although licensed aircraft maintenance engineers perform a
safety critical role in aviation, they do not necessarily require the same speed of reaction
as aircrew or air traffic controllers may need in an emergency situation.
The equivalent limits in respect of breath and of urine are also set out in this section.
6.3 Detailed limits are:
(a) When:
• acting as a pilot, cabin crew, flight engineer, flight navigator or flight radio-telephony
operator of an aircraft during flight;
• attending the flight deck of an aircraft during flight to give or supervise training, to
administer a test, to observe a period of practice or to monitor or record the gaining
of experience; or
• acting as an air traffic controller in pursuance of a licence granted under or by virtue
of an enactment (other than a licence granted to a student):
the prescribed limit of alcohol is:
(i) In the case of breath: 9 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres.
(ii) In the case of blood: 20 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres.
(iii) In the case of urine: 27 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres.
(b) When acting as a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer the prescribed limit of
alcohol in respect of the above is:
(i) In the case of breath: 35 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres.
(ii) In the case of blood: 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres.
(iii) In the case of urine: 107 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres.
7 AVIATION FUNCTIONS (SECTION 94)

7.1 This section applies the offences of being either over the limit or unfit, to people preparing
to carry out an aviation function or otherwise holding themselves ready to carry out one of
those functions by virtue of being on duty or standby.
7.2 An activity shall be treated as an ancillary function if it is undertaken by a person
commencing a period of duty in respect of the function, and as a requirement of, for the
purpose of or in connection with the performance of the function during the period of duty.
For example, the pre-flight briefing of the flight and cabin crew and any post-flight activity
such as filing reports is considered to be an ‘ancillary’ function.

8 TESTING UNDER THE ACT

8.1 Preliminary test (i.e. a breathalyser test)
The Act provides that the power to require a person to co-operate with a preliminary test
shall apply where:
(a) a constable in uniform reasonably suspects that the person is over the prescribed limit,
(b) a constable in uniform reasonably suspects that the person has been over the pre-
scribed limit and still has alcohol or a drug in his body or is still under the influence of
a drug,
(c) an aircraft is involved in an accident and a constable reasonably suspects that the per-
son was undertaking an aviation function, or an activity ancillary to an aviation func-
tion, in relation to the aircraft at the time of the accident, or
(d) an aircraft is involved in an accident and a constable reasonably suspects that the per-
son has undertaken an aviation function, or an activity ancillary to an aviation function,
in relation to the aircraft.
8.2 A person who, without reasonable excuse, fails to provide a specimen when required to
do so in pursuance of this section is guilty of an offence.
8.3 A person commits an offence under the Act if he/she performs an aviation function, or an
activity that is ancillary to an aviation function, at a time when his/her ability to perform the
function is impaired because of alcohol or drugs. This means that a person can be tested
at any time after commencing duty, including standby.
8.4 The Police will determine when to test. As noted above this will in essence be when there
are reasonable grounds for suspicion that someone is over the prescribed limit, or when
an accident has occurred.
8.5 The Police are empowered to breathalyse and to perform subsequent tests (i.e. blood and
urine tests). Police officers have been advised to exercise their powers under the Act as
discreetly as circumstances allow and, if possible, in private, particularly where passenger
aircraft are concerned. Overtly or insensitively exercising these powers in certain
circumstances could have detrimental affect on passenger perception and confidence, and
could have commercial implications and liabilities.
The preliminary drug test is dependant on factors not yet finalised.
8.6 Testing following an accident
An accident for these purposes is defined as an unintended event with adverse physical
effect. It is unlikely that every accident involving an aircraft will warrant Police exercising
any or all of their power under this Act.
9 REASONABLE GROUNDS FOR SUSPICION

9.1 Reasonable grounds for suspicion depend upon the circumstances in each case. There
must be an objective basis for that suspicion based on facts, information and/or intelligence
that are relevant to the likelihood of an offence. Reasonable suspicion cannot be based on
generalisations or stereotypical images of certain groups or categories of people as more
likely to be involved in criminal activity.
9.2 Reasonable suspicion can sometimes exist without specific information or intelligence and
on the basis for some level of generalisation stemming from the behaviour of a person.
Reasonable suspicion should normally be linked to accurate and current intelligence or
information. For example, evidence of impairment from witnesses or from the result of a
primary test of an employee by an employer could be sufficient.
10 PROCEDURE IN THE EVENT OF A POSITIVE BREATHALYSER TEST

10.1 If, as a result of an initial Police breath test, an officer has reasonable cause to suspect that
a person has more than the prescribed proportion of alcohol in their body, then they can
expect to be arrested and taken to a Police station. There, they will be asked to provide a
further specimen of breath, blood or urine for laboratory analysis. In practice, this will

usually be a specimen of blood, taken by a Police doctor. Failure to provide a specimen

without reasonable cause is an offence. Where a sample of blood or urine is taken, he/she
will be entitled to request a part of the sample for themselves. He/she will be supplied with
a booklet of analysts where they can have their specimen privately analysed if they wish.
10.2 Once a blood sample has been taken he/she will probably be released from the Police
station on a condition to return at a later date, by which time the Police part of the sample
will have been analysed. If the sample is under the limit he/she will probably be told not to
attend. If when he/she attends, the results of the analysis of the sample shows that he/
she was over the limit, he/she will be charged with the offence and be given a date to
attend court.
10.3 After giving a specimen, the Police may detain the individual at the Police station until it
appears to the officer that there is no likelihood of them carrying out, or attempting to carry
out, an aviation function of the kind for which they have provided a sample, whilst still over
the prescribed limit or otherwise impaired through alcohol or drugs.
11 ADVICE TO ENGINEERS
11.1 This Airworthiness Notice should be read in conjunction with Airworthiness Notice No. 47,
that contains further information on the Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers
responsibilities when medically unfit or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
12 PENALTIES AND ENFORCEMENT POWERS (SECTIONS 95, 97 & 98)

12.1 Section 95: Penalty
The penalties set out in section 95 are set at the same level as those currently applying to
aircrew and air traffic controllers under Article 122 of the ANO. This section will bring the
penalty for licensed maintenance engineers under the influence of alcohol or drugs into line
with them.
12.2 Arrest without a warrant (Section 97)
A constable may arrest a person without a warrant if the constable reasonably suspects
that the person is committing an offence under Section 92 (being unfit for duty), or has
committed an offence under that Section and is still under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
12.3 Right of entry (Section 98)
12.3.1 A Police constable in uniform may board an aircraft if he/she reasonably suspects that he/
she may wish to exercise a power by virtue of Section 96 (power to administer tests, etc.)
or under Section 97 (arrest without a warrant) in respect of a person who is or may be on
the aircraft.
12.3.2 A Police constable in uniform may enter any place if he/she reasonably suspects that he/
she may wish to exercise a power by virtue of Section 96 (Power to administer tests, etc)
or under Section 97 (Arrest without a warrant) in respect of a person who is or may be in
that place.
12.3.3 For the purpose of boarding an aircraft or entering a place under this Section, a Police con-
stable may use reasonable force or may be accompanied by one or more persons, e.g. air-
line personnel, additional Police constables, etc. Officers not used to working on airports
or in aircraft and not trained to consider the relevant aspects of health and safety may wish
to be accompanied by an agent of the airport or the operator as appropriate.
13 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
13.1 In exercising their powers under this Act, the Police may acquire information that gives
cause for serious concern that a person performing a safety critical aviation function is
unsuited to hold that position of trust. This acquisition may occur even before their sample
of blood or urine has been analysed or they have been charged, for example, where such
a person has provided a positive preliminary test.

13.2 Such information may be passed to that person’s employer or professional body on
grounds of public safety or for the prevention or detection of crime. This will only be carried
out with the authority of an officer of Assistant Chief of Police rank.
13.2.1 Any disclosure should provide only that information required to determine whether the of-
fender should continue in their present role pending trial.
13.2.2 If authority to disclose is refused, Police should provide for the analysis of samples to be
fast-tracked by the Forensic Science Service and for the offender to be charged, if appro-
priate, at the earliest opportunity.
13.3 In reality it is likely that if an individual is tested positive whilst on a duty, this will have an
immediate impact on their ability to perform their function and will quickly come to the
attention of the employer.
14 CAA PROTOCOL IN SUSPECTED ALCOHOL OR DRUG MISUSE

14.1 In cases where a licensed engineer may be misusing alcohol or drugs, a decision will be
made whether there is alcohol or drug dependency that could be a risk to flight safety. If
so, the licence may be suspended, or where the licence has been issued by another state,
a recommendation to suspend will be sent to the issuing authority. If that is so, he/she will
then be invited to take part in a treatment and rehabilitation schedule. If that is successful,
the suspension will be lifted. For non-UK licence holders a recommendation will be sent to
the issuing authority that a rehabilitation schedule was completed.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licensing – General Licensing Information
1 GENERAL
1.1 Dates and venues of written examinations are shown in Appendix 1 of this Notice which
is correct at the time of publication. This and other detailed information on licensing are
published on the Personnel Licensing area of the CAA web site www.srg.caa.co.uk. This
site is updated frequently and engineers preparing to apply for exams or licence issue/
extension are strongly advised to view it for current information on policy, procedures or
exam schedules. Application forms may also be downloaded from the site.
1.2 Additional information relating to Part-66 and the cessation of BCAR Section L has been
added to the Engineering Licensing part of the Personnel Licensing web site, including
information on the new ‘fast-track’ method of converting BCAR Section L licences to Part-
66 for aircraft above and below 5700 kg.
1.3 The ‘fast-track’ method is designed to reduce the handling time of applications, enabling
the Personnel Licensing Department to issue licences far quicker than by using the normal
method. The new method is a temporary one, allowing engineers to convert their basic
licence and type approvals issued by their current employer only, at a discounted issue fee,
in readiness for September 2006 for aircraft above 5700 kg and September 2008 for aircraft
5700 kg or below. Other older type approvals issued by previous employers remain as
protected rights and can be added at a later stage.
1.4 With the UK CAA introduction of the Part-66 licence, the majority of BCAR Section L
licenses require conversion by the following deadlines:
28 September 2006 for certification on aircraft above 5700 kg; and
28 September 2008 for certification on aircraft of 5700 kg and below.
For information on conversion visit www.caa.co.uk/srg/licensing and then click on engineer
licensing and then 'making your application for Part-66'.
Existing JAR-66 licenses do not require conversion. If you do not convert your BCAR
Section L licence you will not be able to continue to issue a CRS after the dates
above.
2 EASA COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) NO. 2042/2003 INCLUDING IMPLEMENTING

RULES (IR) PART-66 AND PART-147.
2.1 The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has commenced operations introducing
phased changes in respect of the licensing of aircraft maintenance engineers. An outline
explanation of these changes can be found in Airworthiness Notice No. 7: Implementation
of the European Parliament Regulation and Council of the European Union Regulations.
2.2 The UK CAA issued the first EASA Part-66 licence for aircraft above 5700 kg MTOM on 1
June 2004 and the first EASA Part-66 licence to include aircraft above and below 5700 kg
MTOM on 29 November 2004.
2.3 By way of derogation from the regulation the UK CAA has elected not to apply certain
paragraphs of Part-145 immediately and therefore Part 145.A.30 (h)(1) will be applied by
28 September 2006. All line maintenance certifying staff, base maintenance certifying staff

and B1, B2 support staff for aircraft or helicopters greater than 5700kg MTOM are to be
Part-66 qualified by this date.
NOTE 1: The holder of a JAR-66 AML will be deemed to be compliant with this Part and certification
privileges held under JAR-66 may continue to be exercised. Existing JAR-66 licences held will be
automatically converted to Part-66 licences at the next licensing event. It is not necessary for existing
JAR-66 licence holders to convert their licence to Part-66.
NOTE 2: BCAR Section L licence holders with certification privileges on aircraft or helicopters above
5700kg MTOM should have converted their existing licence by 28 September 2006.
2.4 Part 145.A.30 (g), Part 145.A.30 (h)(1) and Part 145.A.30 (h)(2) will be implemented by 28
September 2008. Line maintenance certifying staff on aircraft below 5700 kg MTOM, base
maintenance certifying staff and B1, B2 support staff for multi engine helicopters at or
below 5700 kg MTOM and base maintenance certifying staff and B1, B2 support staff for
aircraft at or below 5700 kg MTOM are to be Part-66 qualified by this date.
2.5 An EASA Introduction Timetable is provided at Appendix II, which provides information on
cessation dates and compliance dates. Updates to this table will be made on our web site.
2.6 Maintenance certification for some aircraft categories e.g. annex II aircraft and airships will
continue for the time being to be regulated by the UK CAA under National Requirements
of BCAR Section L.
NOTE: Annex II and State aircraft are aircraft that are not included under EC Regulation 1592/2002
and therefore Part-145 and Part-M do not apply.
2.7 The UK CAA will no longer accept applications for BCAR Section L category D licences.
Current licence holders in this category may continue to exercise their certification
privileges until full implementation of Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003 is applied subject to
licence validity. After this date engine approval for maintenance certification in this
category will be required to comply with Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003 Annex I Part-M and
Part-145 approved organisations.
3 DIESEL PISTON ENGINES

Regulation (EC) No. 2042/2003 Annex III, Part-66, Module 16, includes diesel engine
technology in the syllabus. Whilst current BCAR Section L category C (piston engine)
licence holders will not be required to pass a differences examination in these areas to
convert to a Part-66 licence, in order to certify for diesel engines, a type training course on
diesel technology piston engines must be completed to EASA Part-147 standard or by UK
CAA direct course approval. Following this training an appropriate period of experience,
typically 6 months, should be demonstrated on the engine type to qualify for the type rating
addition. If recognized type training has not been completed on the specific engine type, a
BCAR Section L category C (piston engine) licensed engineer will have to demonstrate an
extended period of 12 months experience on the diesel engine type. In this case in order
to qualify for this type addition, an oral examination may also be required.
4 BCAR SECTION L LICENCE RENEWAL

4.1 EASA Part-66 licences now include both aircraft above and below 5700 kg. The CAA
therefore, recommends that BCAR Section L licence holders convert to Part-66 without
delay, even if the licence is not due for renewal. The appropriate Form 19 (SRG1014) and
Support Document (SRG/1020) can be downloaded from our web site.
4.2 Applicants may still renew their BCAR Section L licences where a need can be shown for
aircraft such as Annex II types and airships. The renewal period will be for two years only,
with a pro-rata fee applied.
5 THE ENGINEERS LICENSING GUIDANCE DOCUMENT

5.1 The Engineers Licensing Guidance Document (ELGD) has now been published, however
it is not yet available for purchase. A copy has been distributed to all Part-145 and Part-147
organisations for use and is available on the CAA’s web site.

5.2 The ELGD has been designed to assist Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and those involved
with aircraft maintenance engineering by providing guidance on existing Aircraft
Maintenance Engineering licensing requirements.
5.3 The ELGD provides information on the implementation of Part-66, how to convert BCAR
Section L licences to Part-66 and extend the licence privileges.

Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers – Personal Responsibility When

Medically Unfit or Under The Influence Of Drink Or Drugs
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has introduced an amendment to
Annex 1 to the convention on international civil aviation which will have the effect of
extending certain standards and recommended practices to all licence holders. The
changes resulting from the amendment are concerned with medical fitness and the use or
abuse of intoxicating liquor, narcotics or drugs.
1.2 To implement these changes the Air Navigation No. 2 Order 1995 (ANO) introduced two
new Articles. Article 13(7) which prohibits the exercise of the privileges of an aircraft
maintenance engineer’s licence when the holder knows or suspects that their physical or
mental condition renders them unfit to exercise such privileges, and Article 13(8) which
prohibits the exercise of licence privileges when the holder is under the influence of drink
and/or drugs to such an extent as to impair their capacity to exercise such privileges.
1.3 The Commission Regulation (EC) 2042/2003 (The Continuing Airworthiness Regulation)
entered into force on 29 November 2003 and introduced new requirements applicable to
licensed aircraft engineers in the U.K.
Annex III Part-66.B.500 to the Continuing Airworthiness Regulation requires a competent
authority to suspend, limit or revoke an aircraft maintenance licence in all cases where it
has clear evidence that the license holder has carried out maintenance or issued a
certificate of release to service when adversely affected by alcohol or drugs.
2 GENERAL
2.1 An aircraft maintenance engineer’s licence authorises the holder, subject to any conditions
that may be specified on the licence, to issue various certificates relating to aircraft
maintenance. The process of issuing these certificates (Certificates of Maintenance
Review, Certificates of Release to Service and Certificates of Fitness for Flight under the
'A' Conditions Flight Release Certificate) and similar certificates for those aircraft detailed
within Annex II of Commission Regulation (EC) 1592/2002 require clear decisions to be
made that directly affect the airworthiness of the aircraft to which they relate. It follows
that the quality of these decisions is directly influenced by the physical and mental state of
the certifier at the time of certification, and whether or not they are subject to the adverse
effects of drink and/or drugs.
2.2 The corporate management of all approved maintenance organisations are required to
review this Airworthiness Notice and implement suitable policies and procedures to make
all maintenance staff aware of them. The requirements of Articles 13(7) and 13(8) of the
Air Navigation Order (2000) as amended, in addition to an understanding of the
requirements placed upon the UK CAA within Part 66.B.500, fall on those who certify the
completion of maintenance. The guidance material contained in this Airworthiness Notice
is equally applicable to all non-licensed personnel engaged in aircraft maintenance tasks
and in principle should be adopted throughout the aviation industry as a code of practice.
Organisations shall also take note of items in paragraph 3 which require their participation
in the areas concerned.

2.3 All persons to whom this notice applies should be aware of the guidance material
contained herein. It is the responsibility of the individual concerned to ensure that they do
not report for duty or certify if they are genuinely unfit. Such persons should also be aware
of an organisation’s own internal policies and monitoring procedures to verify the above.
3 GUIDANCE
3.1 Fitness In most professions there is a duty of care by the individual to assess their own
fitness to carry out professional duties. This has been a legal requirement for some time
for doctors, flight crew members and air traffic controllers. Licensed aircraft maintenance
engineers are also now required by law to take a similar professional attitude.
Cases of subtle physical or mental illness may not always be apparent to the individual but
as engineers often work as a member of a team any sub-standard performance or unusual
behaviour should be quickly noticed by colleagues or supervisors who should notify
management so that appropriate support and counselling action can be taken. In particular,
a decrease in mental fitness in many cases may be related to stress from within the
working environment or to the personal circumstances of the individual. Instances of
aggressive behaviour, vagueness and slippage of personal standards (cleanliness,
appearance etc.) may be indicative of more serious mental issues. Such issues may bring
into question the ability of the individual to be trusted or to maintain the necessary levels
of concentration to take appropriate decisions on airworthiness matters.
3.2 Fatigue Tiredness and fatigue can adversely affect performance. Excessive hours of duty
and shift working, particularly with multiple shift periods or additional overtime, can lead to
problems. Whilst the safety management aspects of these matters are being addressed
through the UK Operators Technical Group individuals should be fully aware of the dangers
of impaired performance due to these factors and of their personal responsibilities.
3.3 Stress Everyone is subject to various stresses in their life and work. Stress can often be
stimulating and beneficial but prolonged exposure to chronic stress (high levels or differing
stress factors) can produce strain and cause performance to suffer allowing mistakes to
occur.
Stress factors can be varied, physical – e.g. heat, cold, humidity, noise, vibration; they can
be due to ill-health or worries about possible ill-health; from problems outside the work-
place – e.g. bereavements, domestic upsets, financial or legal difficulties. A stress problem
can manifest itself by signs of irritability, forgetfulness, sickness absence, mistakes, or al-
cohol or drug abuse. Management have a duty to identify individuals who may be suffering
from stress and to minimise workplace stresses. Individual cases can be helped by sym-
pathetic and skilful counselling which allows a return to effective work and licensed duties.
3.4 Eyesight A reasonable standard of eyesight is needed for any aircraft engineer to per-
form their duties to an acceptable degree. Many maintenance tasks require a combination
of both distance and near vision. In particular, such consideration must be made where
there is a need for the close visual inspection of structures or work related to small or min-
iature components. The use of glasses or contact lenses to correct any vision problems is
perfectly acceptable and indeed they must be worn as prescribed. Frequent checks should
be made to ensure the continued adequacy of any glasses or contact lenses. In addition,
colour discrimination may be necessary for an individual to drive in areas where aircraft ma-
noeuvre or where colour coding is used, e.g. in aircraft wiring. Organisations should iden-
tify any specific eyesight requirement and put in place suitable procedures to address
these issues.
3.5 Hearing The ability to hear an average conversational voice in a quiet room at a distance
of 2 metres (6 feet) from the examiner is recommended as a routine test. Failure of this
test would require an audiogram to be carried out to provide an objective assessment. If
necessary, a hearing aid may be worn but consideration should be given to the practicalities
of wearing the aid during routine tasks demanded of the individual.
It is important to remind employers of individuals working in areas of high ambient noise
of the requirement of the Noise at Work Regulations 1989 which require employers to

carry out assessments of noise levels within their premises and take appropriate action
where necessary.
3.6 Drug and Alcohol Abuse Drinking problems or the use of illicit or non-prescribed drugs
are unacceptable where aircraft maintenance safety is concerned and once identified will
lead to suspension of the licence or company authorisation and possibly further licensing
action being considered. The introduction of the Railways and Transportation Safety Act
2003 set a blood alcohol limit of 80 mg/100 ml for personnel involved in aircraft
maintenance. Airworthiness Notice No. 45 describes the implications of this act and should
be referred to for further guidance.
3.7 Medication Any form of medication, whether prescribed by a doctor or purchased over
the counter and particularly if being taken for the first time, may have serious
consequences in the aviation maintenance environment unless three basic questions can
be answered satisfactorily:
(a) Must I take medicines at all?
(b) Have I given this particular medication a personal trial for at least 24 hours before go-
ing on duty, to ensure that it will not have adverse effects on my ability to work and
make sound decisions?
(c) Do I really feel fit for work?
Confirming the absence of adverse effects may need expert advice and General
Practitioners, Company Medical Officers and the Medical Division of the Civil Aviation
Authority are all available to assist in this matter. Common types of medication in use and
their effects are further described in Appendix 1.
3.8 Alcohol Alcohol has similar effects to tranquillisers and sleeping tablets and may remain
circulating in the blood for a considerable time, especially if taken with food. It should be
borne in mind that a person may not be fit to go on duty even eight hours after drinking
large amounts of alcohol. Individuals should therefore anticipate such effects upon their
next duty period. Special note should be taken of the fact that combinations of alcohol and
sleeping tablets, or anti-histamines, can form a highly dangerous or even lethal
combination.
3.9 Anaesthetics It should be remembered that following local, general, dental and other
anaesthetics, a period of time should elapse before returning to duty. This period will vary
depending upon individual circumstances, but may even extend to 24 or 48 hours. Any
doubts should be resolved by seeking appropriate medical advice.
4 SUMMARY
4.1 The effects of illness, injury or medication on work performance are the direct concern of
the individual. Where there is doubt about the ability of an individual to make sound
technical decisions, the implications of Article 13(7) and 13(8) of the Air Navigation Order
(2000) as amended or Part 66.B.500 must be taken into account, i.e. the individual must
not exercise the privileges of their licence or authorisation whilst unfit. While this notice
gives some guidance on the issues to be considered it cannot be comprehensive. If
individual licence holders or their managers have any doubt they should consult the
medical sources mentioned for advice. If there is difficulty in obtaining this advice, the local
CAA regional office or the CAA Personnel Licensing Department should be contacted in
the first instance and they in turn may seek guidance from the CAA Medical Department.
The contact details of the CAA regional offices are provided in Airworthiness Notice No. 29.

1 The following are some of the types of medicine in common use which may impair work
performance. This list is not exhaustive and care should be taken in ensuring the likely ef-
fects of any prescribed drug are adequately known before taking it.
(a) Sleeping Tablets – These dull the senses, cause mental confusion and slow reaction
times. The duration of effect is variable from person to person and may be unduly pro-
longed. Individuals should have expert medical advice before using them;
(b) Anti-depressants – These can depress the alerting system and have been a contribu-
tory cause of mistakes leading to fatal accidents. A person should stop work when
starting anti-depressants and only return when it is clear that there are no untoward
side-effects. It is recommended that individuals seek medical advice from their Gen-
eral Practitioner or appropriate medical specialist before returning to work;
(c) Antibiotics – Antibiotics (penicillin and the various mycins and cyclines) and sulpha
drugs may have short term or delayed effects which affect work performance. Their
use indicates that a fairly severe infection may well be present and apart from the ef-
fects of these substances themselves, the side-effects of the infection will almost al-
ways render an individual unfit for work;
(d) Anti-histamine – Such drugs are widely used in cold cures and in the treatment of hay
fever, asthma and allergic skin conditions. Many easily obtainable nasal spray and
drop preparations contain anti-histamines. Most of this group of medicines tend to
make the taker feel drowsy. Their effect, combined with that of the condition, will of-
ten prevent the basic three questions (paragraph 3.7 of the Notice) from being an-
swered satisfactorily. Admittedly very mild states of hay fever etc., may be
adequately controlled by small doses of anti-allergic drugs, but a trial period to estab-
lish the absence of side effects is essential before going on duty. When individuals
are affected by allergic conditions which require more than the absolute minimum of
treatment and in all cases of asthma, one of the above mentioned sources of advice
should be consulted;
(e) ‘Pep’ pills (e.g. containing Caffeine, Dexedrine, Benzedrine) used to maintain wake-
fulness are often habit forming. Susceptibility to each drug varies from one individual
to another, but all of them can create dangerous over-confidence. Over-dosage may
cause headaches, dizziness and mental disturbances. The use of ‘pep’ pills whilst
working cannot be permitted. If coffee is insufficient, you are not fit for work;
(f) Drugs for the relief of high blood pressure are proving to be very effective in control-
ling this condition. However, antihypertensive agents all have some side effects and
should not be administered before adequate assessment of the need for treatment.
The prescribing practitioner should be able to advise on any side effects to be consid-
ered;
(g) Drugs when prescribed for Anti-malaria in normally recommended doses do not usu-
ally have any adverse effects. However, the drug should be taken in good time so that
the question in paragraph 3.7 (b) of the Notice can be answered;
(h) Oral contraceptive tablets in the standard dose do not usually have adverse effects,
although regular supervision is required;
(i) ‘SUDAFED’ is the trade name of a preparation containing pseudo-ephedrine hydro-
chloride. This may be prescribed by GPs for relief of nasal congestion. Side-effects
reported however are anxiety, tremor, rapid pulse and headache. The preparation
does not contain anti-histamines which could sedate and cause drowsiness but the
effects can nevertheless affect skilled performance. Sudafed, therefore, is not a prep-
aration to be taken when making engineering decisions or performing licenced duties.

NOTE: Although the above are common groups of drugs, which may have adverse effects on
performance, it should be pointed out that many forms of medication, which although not usually
expected to affect efficiency may do so if the person concerned is unduly sensitive to a particular
drug. Therefore no drugs, medicines, or combinations, should be taken before or during duty unless
the taker is completely familiar with the effects on him or her of the medication and the drugs or
medicines have specifically been prescribed for the individual alone. Again the sources of advice
mentioned earlier in this notice should be consulted in cases of doubt.

Airworthiness Flight Testing for Renewal of Certificates of Airworthiness

The requirements for airworthiness flight testing for renewal of Certificates of Airworthiness, published
in BCAR Section A/B Chapter A/B3-5 "Flight Testing for Renewal of Certificates of Airworthiness or a
Permit to Fly", no longer apply to aircraft regulated under EC regulations ("EASA aircraft"). For further
details, please see Letter to Owners/Operators No 2839 dated 6 October 2005. This policy also applies
to aircraft of a type that has been issued with an EASA Type Certificate but is not subject to EASA
regulations because it is engaged in military, customs, police or similar services.
CAA policy for continued airworthiness flight testing of other non-EASA aircraft is unchanged and these
aircraft remain subject to the requirements of BCAR Section A/B Chapter A/B3-5 for renewal (and
Chapter A/B3-3 for issue) of a Certificate of Airworthiness or Permit to Fly.
NOTE: CAA Flight Department personnel may undertake or participate in the flight test but BCAR A/B provides for
the CAA to accept completed Airworthiness Flight Test Schedules from persons acceptable to the CAA. Before
making arrangements for the test, applicants should contact CAA Flight Department, as below, for details of the
applicable schedule and agreement on the test personnel.
You can contact the CAA regarding the contents of this Airworthiness Notice by email at:

Deterioration Of Wooden Aircraft Structures
1 Concern over the susceptibility of wooden aircraft structures to deterioration, and recogni-
tion that extensive dismantling and inspection may be required to ensure their continued
integrity was first expressed in Airworthiness Notices in 1957. In addition to wooden air-
craft built in the United Kingdom, there is now a substantial number of foreign built wooden
aircraft on the UK register.
2 Examination of older type wooden aircraft has highlighted several serious structural fail-
ures, and continued vigilance is therefore essential if the integrity of wooden aircraft struc-
tures is to be maintained. Deterioration has occurred in those assemblies where normal
inspection is impossible and has not come to light until the adjacent structure has been dis-
turbed to embody repairs or modifications, or during extensive overhaul. These closer ex-
aminations have revealed failure of glued joints in the primary structure and patches of
timber in a state of decay as a result of exposure to extremes of atmospheric conditions.
3 General conclusions which have been drawn from the results of the examinations are:-
(a) the external appearance of wooden aircraft may give little or no indication of the con-
dition of the timber and glued joints beneath the surface.
(b) Aircraft built with glued ply and timber torsion box construction are the most vulnera-
ble.
(c) Under extreme conditions, deterioration can be very rapid indeed.
(d) Lack of proper drainage can be a significant contributory factor, particularly when as-
sociated with (c) above.
(e) Many glues, especially those in use before 1950, lose strength with age and/or cycles
of humidity and temperature.
4 Attention is drawn to the following:

(a) Evidence to demonstrate that continued airworthiness has been established, means
the aircraft records show that such aircraft have been dismantled, opened up and the
upholstery removed to such an extent as to ensure that an adequate sample of timber
and glued joints have been inspected and, if found to be defective, made good. In cas-
es where defective timber and glued joints are found, it will be necessary to extend
a sample of areas checked in order to establish confidence in the condition of the
complete structure. This will apply to all wooden aircraft whether or not maintained
to an approved maintenance schedule.
(b) Wooden aircraft left continuously in the open or, conversely, stored for long periods
in very dry conditions are particularly susceptible to deterioration. The type of storage
provided for the aircraft must therefore be taken into consideration when assessing
the amount of inspection necessary to meet the requirements of (a) above.
(c) Prospective purchasers of foreign registered aircraft are advised:

(i) to establish with the CAA whether the aircraft type is eligible for the issue of a UK C
of A and the requirements/conditions that would apply. Some aircraft not eligible for
a C of A may qualify for a Permit to Fly.
(ii) Where such aircraft are of wooden construction, to consider carefully the condition
of the structure and its history before applying for the issue of a UK C of A. The CAA
will require information as to the type of constructions and glue used.

Aerobatic Manoeuvres
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Certain light aircraft on the British Register are permitted to perform a wide range of
aerobatic manoeuvres although designed for a positive load factor of less than 6g (usually
the 4·4g Semi-Aerobatic Load Factor given in British Civil Airworthiness Requirements).
This is because, during certification of these aircraft, the permitted aerobatics were
evaluated and the design strength was found to provide an adequate margin to permit
them to be performed safely.
1.2 However, recording accelerometers were installed in some aircraft to determine (for
fatigue life estimation) the actual loadings achieved. These recordings have shown that g
loadings in excess of those to which the aircraft were designed have been imposed in
service on a sufficiently large number of occasions to suggest that there is a risk that loads
greater than the strength of the aeroplane may be imposed inadvertently.
1.3 This evidence has been collected on aeroplanes of relatively low aerodynamic drag, and
there is no evidence to suggest that any problem exists on aeroplanes of relatively high
drag such as biplanes, many of which have a long and satisfactory history.
2 WARNING Pilots of aeroplanes designed to semi-aerobatic load factors (i.e. less than 6 g
to limit load) are warned that they should take care not to apply excessive g in the permit-
ted aerobatic manoeuvres.
3 PLACARDING
3.1 On receipt of this Notice the requirements of paragraph 3.2 shall be implemented by
owners of the following types of aircraft:
Beagle B 121 Series 1 (Pup 100)
Beagle B 121 Series 2 (Pup 150)
Bolkow 208-A1 Junior
Bolkow 208-A2 Junior
Bolkow BO.208-C1 Junior.
3.2 The following placard shall be fitted in the cockpit in a position readily visible to the pilots.
‘This aeroplane is designed to semi-aerobatic load factors. When performing
permitted aerobatics care must be taken not to apply more g than is necessary.‘
3.3 The placard may, as a temporary measure, be typewritten on white card, but shall be
replaced by a more permanent placard as soon as possible.
3.4 Aeroplanes (other than those listed in paragraph 3.1) with design load factors less than 6g
need not be placarded in this respect unless this is required by the Certificate of
Airworthiness or Flight Manual. An appropriate amendment to affected Flight Manuals will
be issued.
3.5 The need for a placard on aeroplanes entering the UK register in the future will be evaluated
at the time of certification.

Flight In UK Air Space Of Foreign Registered Home-Built Aircraft

1 Article 8 of the United Kingdom Air Navigation Order 2005 prohibits the flight of foreign
registered home-built aircraft in UK airspace. This is because a home-built aircraft cannot
hold an ICAO Certificate of Airworthiness (issued to comply with the Convention on
International Civil Aviation dated 7 December 1944), which Article 8 requires. The CAA
may grant exemptions from Article 8 of the Order and so allow foreign registered home-
built aircraft to fly in UK airspace. This Notice provides such an exemption and explains
what is required of the owners of aircraft who wish to make use of it.
2 In June 1980 the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) recommended that Member
States should allow home-built aircraft holding a (non-ICAO) Permit to Fly or equivalent
document issued by another ECAC State to fly in their country without any restrictions
other than those stated on the Permit to Fly or equivalent document. The CAA
implemented this recommendation on behalf of the United Kingdom by issuing an
Exemption within Issue 1 of this Airworthiness Notice from compliance with the
appropriate provisions of the Air Navigation Order relating to Certificates of Airworthiness.
3 Since the exemption was issued European Union legislative changes have removed certain
constraints on aircraft ownership. As a result of these changes the exemption issued by
the CAA could be a mechanism for importing into the UK a foreign registered home-built
aircraft that has not been shown to comply with UK safety requirements. The CAA
considers that the intent of the ECAC agreement was to permit over flight and short-term
visits only. The CAA also has concerns over the level of airworthiness regulation that the
States of Registry would be able to exercise during prolonged periods of operation in other
States. To address these issues a new exemption, with revised conditions, has been
issued as Appendix 1 to this Airworthiness Notice.
4 The conditions of the exemption require that, before flying a foreign home-built aircraft in
UK airspace, the owner of the aircraft shall:
(a) send to the CAA the information specified in Schedule 1 to the exemption;
(b) obtain an acknowledgement from the CAA; and
(c) ensure that the documents specified in Schedule 2 to the exemption are available for
inspection on demand by the CAA when the aircraft is in the UK.
5 A Form for sending the required information to the CAA is given as Schedule 1 to this
Airworthiness Notice. The information should be submitted by e-mail to:
an52exemption@srg.caa.co.uk
NOTE: This e-mail address should not be used for any other purpose
An acknowledgement will be sent by e-mail. A paper copy of the acknowledgement must
be kept available for inspection when the aircraft is in the UK.

must be made to the Applications and Certification Department at the above address.
8 Any person flying a foreign registered home-built aircraft in the UK without complying with
the terms of the exemption at Appendix 1 (or obtaining an alternative exemption from the
CAA) may be flying in breach of Article 8 of the Air Navigation Order 2005 and be liable to
prosecution.

Instruments With Unusual Presentations
1 From time to time on imported aircraft, especially those of less than 5700 kg (12 500 lb)
maximum weight, instruments are found which have unusual presentations. Whether
these instruments are fitted in order to meet mandatory requirements or as extras, they
must not be capable of misleading a pilot conversant only with conventional presentations.
2 A CAA evaluation of any such instrument is required for United Kingdom certification of any
imported aircraft to which it is fitted, or if it is introduced by modification action. This eval-
uation will include a review of the actual presentation of the instrument and its position
with respect to other instruments in the panel. It will also include flight tests if necessary.
3 Enquiry to the Safety Regulation Group at Aviation House will determine whether or not
any such instrument has already been investigated and whether it is accepted for a man-
datory or non-mandatory role.
4 Typically, a placard will be required adjacent to any such instrument giving warning of its
presentation and stating ‘unapproved’ if it is fitted only as an extra and is not acceptable in
fulfilment of a mandatory requirement.
NOTE: The placard must not be easily erased, disfigured or obscured.
5 The log book of any aircraft in which such an instrument is fitted and accepted should
record the type of instrument and the reference for the acceptance, unless this is covered
in the Flight Manual or Type Certification documents.

Continuing Airworthiness and Safety Standards of Passenger Service and

In-Flight Entertainment Systems
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 In recent years the aviation industry has experienced a number of incidents involving In-
Flight Entertainment systems (IFE). IFE systems now regularly include integration with a
variety of related equipment, including seat movement mechanisms, video systems,
lighting and telecommunications. (For the purposes of this Notice all further references to
IFE will also include consideration of these integrated systems and does not differentiate
between ‘one-off’ modifications on corporate aircraft and series installations on
commercial aircraft).
1.2 The availability of innovative electronic technology makes it clear that the increasing use of
new technology within passenger cabins will continue. Significantly, more complex
systems and their electrical wiring installations demand higher power consumption. Most
IFE systems are installed as operator optional modifications and may not be subject to
original aircraft manufacturer involvement. This has resulted in Instructions for Continuing
Airworthiness (ICAWs), scheduled maintenance and system maintenance manuals being
overlooked or given minimal consideration.
1.3 The CAA has conducted a review of the above concerns, the outcome of which identified
a number of issues. This Notice has been published to provide guidance as to the best
practice approach to gaining approval of and continuing airworthiness of In-Flight
Entertainment systems and the related passenger services. In particular it identifies the
need to consider and where appropriate determine maintenance practices to assure the
continuing airworthiness of the systems in service.
2 BACKGROUND
2.1 The variety and complexity of passenger in-seat services and the cabin installation can
involve several disparate and separately approved modifications. The lack of specific
scheduled maintenance guidance from the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Holder(s),
for the total installation, is considered a potential weakness of the certification process.
This can lead to a lack of clarity as to where the overall responsibility for the continuing
airworthiness of the interface between the aircraft and the modified systems lies.
2.2 The adequacy of the certification requirements and objectives is not in question, but their
practical interpretation can lead to system interface design and installation problems. In
particular, defined standards for equipment and wiring installation/reinstallation are often
minimal. IFE systems are often installed by organisations other than the aircraft
manufacturer that can lead to differences in installation between otherwise identical
aircraft, thus contributing to in-service problems.
2.3 Experience from the investigation of occurrences has shown that the condition of the
installed system can deteriorate as a result of cabin environmental conditions. The
constituent parts of an IFE system installation, including wiring, located within the
passenger cabin are likely to be disturbed or removed on numerous occasions throughout
the operational life of an aircraft. This increases their vulnerability to occurrences if the
maintenance standards and instructions are imprecise.
2.4 The JAA have published JAA Administrative and Guidance Material, Section One: General
Part 3: Temporary Guidance Leaflet (TGL) number 17: Passenger Service and In-Flight
Entertainment (IFE) Systems. This document provides guidance for the certification of new
IFE designs. The CAA supports the use of this document. However, it has been identified
that it does not provide comprehensive information regarding the development of

installation instructions, standards and ICAW.
2.5 Applicable certification codes will typically lead the assessment of IFE to be a
“nonessential” system. As such the system will only be subjected to limited system safety
assessment and will not initiate the traditional maintenance task development processes.
The service failures seen in practice would certainly appear to suggest that this ‘no
additional-maintenance required’ assumption is invalid. Where appropriate, maintenance
tasks should be identified to ensure system integrity. This is discussed further in Appendix
1 to this Notice.
3 OBJECTIVE
This Notice has been issued to supplement JAA TGL 17 and to provide additional guidance
to industry in order to ensure that:
(a) initial installation standards and instructions are clear and concise and demonstrate
equality with aircraft manufacturers’ production standards;
(b) clear “overall” continued airworthiness responsibility is defined. There should be
robust and co-ordinated ICAW data developed and published. Such data should cover
the interface between IFE modifications and original design to ensure repeatable in-
service removal and re-installation standards are achieved during scheduled
maintenance and defect rectification;
(c) a logical method to develop IFE maintenance tasks and solutions is utilised; and
(d) IFE scheduled maintenance tasks are integrated into the Approved Maintenance
Programme (AMP). Existing tasks to be reviewed and amended and when identified
via the methodology above, the new IFE related tasks included.
4 APPLICABILITY
4.1 New IFE Installations
All new IFE installations and modifications should take account of and meet the intent of
this Notice together with the JAA TGL 17.
NOTE: EASA will be transcribing the TGL into their publications in the near future.
4.2 Existing IFE installations
It should be noted that Commission Regulation (EC) NO 2042/2003, Part M.A.302 came
into force on 28 September 2005. This particular requirement outlines what is expected to
be included in an approved maintenance programme. With regard to M.A.302 (c) 2 this
notice provides the competent authority instructions, specific to IFE installations, which
should be addressed as part of the periodic programme review. It is therefore expected
that the applicable aspects of this notice be incorporated in the programme within one year
of publication of this notice to comply with the requirements of Part M.A.302.
5 RECOMMENDATION
5.1 In order to address the above concerns and objectives it is recommended that project
management practices be utilised to ensure appropriate compliance with certification
codes, development of applicable and effective ICAWs and scheduled maintenance tasks.
5.2 An individual should be identified to the CAA who would fulfil the role of project manager.
It is expected that the project manager holds a suitable position within an approved
organisation, and, if not within the operator’s organisation, this role is contractually linked
to the operator.
5.3 A prime objective of the project should be to address the issues in paragraph 3. All
stakeholders should be identified, these would include, as a minimum, the CAA, all the
design organisations involved in the total installation, the aircraft manufacturer (where
appropriate), equipment manufacturers (where appropriate), the installing organisation and
the operator.

5.4 Considerations for Project Manager

The IFE system project plan should manage, as a minimum, compliance with the following:
(a) Definition of the whole IFE Installation, e.g. the STCs - how many, their approval basis,
compatibility with TC and other STC(s), continued airworthiness responsibilities etc.
(b) The installing organisation – that they have the necessary approvals, competence,
facilities, equipment etc. (with respect to the installation in question).
(c) Specific aircraft being modified - effect on particular airframe e.g. documents to be
amended, maintenance programme amendment. Validation of all proposed
documentation changes.
(d) Operational considerations – e.g. Crew operating instructions and training (including
any normal, abnormal and emergency procedures), limitations of use etc.
(e) Stakeholders – establish communication links and identify all the relevant parties to
ensure full and complete liaison with respect to their role in the whole IFE installation.
(f) Timeline – identification of specific milestones in the process, e.g. Agreed times to
involve/contact CAA, what should be presented at these times etc.
(g) Development of Scheduled Maintenance and Maintenance Instructions – who will be
responsible for doing this and the methodology to be utilised. (See Appendix 1 for
guidance.)
(h) Ensure all stakeholders understand their role in order to achieve compliance with this
Notice.
5.5 Considerations for Designer
The Designer for an IFE System should consider, as a minimum, the following key areas:
(a) Establish communication links with the project manager and the relevant
stakeholders.
(b) Ensure that all installation instructions, operating conditions and equipment
limitations (e.g. European Technical Standard Order (ETSO) and Declaration of Design
and Performance (DDP)) are considered and recorded in the appropriate drawings/
manuals etc.
(c) It is expected that the designer will provide installation instructions (engineering
drawings) that as a minimum equate to the original aircraft production standards.
Statements such as “install in accordance with industry standard practices,” would
be unacceptable. It is considered that such statements are inadequate because the
standard practices cannot alone define the location, routing or security of electrical
wiring for example.
(d) Identify any features that are believed to require new or amended scheduled
maintenance tasks and participate in the scheduled maintenance task analyses. (See
Appendix 1 for guidance.)
(e) Ensure that all appropriate Airworthiness/Operational data is produced in sufficient
time for the operator to incorporate into relevant manuals prior to entry into service.
This should include normal, abnormal and emergency procedures.
(f) IFE installations (equipment or wiring) may affect existing TC/STC Holder derived
maintenance tasks. The designer should assess, in accordance with original
scheduled AMP development processes, the effect of the modification on the
existing maintenance tasks and inspections, and address accordingly.
(g) Validated maintenance instructions to be produced so that the original installation
standards are maintained after in-service activities.
(h) Establishment of engineering liaison processes to address minor change requests
required during installation, and to monitor and react to operator in-service reliability
feedback.

5.6 Considerations for Installer

The installer of an IFE system should manage, as a minimum, compliance with the
following:
stakeholders.
(b) A verified internal competence and capability assessment should be carried out
against the specific installation requirements. This should cover, as a minimum, any
necessary unique skills, technologies, tools and training. Installer’s competence/
scope should be described within the Part 145 Maintenance Organisation Exposition
(MOE).
(c) The pre-planning function should seek to identify any shortcomings within the
installation instructions prior to installation on the aircraft, and to report to the relevant
stakeholders for resolution.
(d) Provide feedback and gain approval of minor installation and instruction/drawing
changes found during installation.
5.7 Considerations for Operator
The operator of an aircraft installed with an IFE system should manage, as a minimum,
compliance with the following:
stakeholders.
(b) To update the existing Continuing Airworthiness (CAW) management processes to
ensure that lines of communication with all of the IFE STC holders are established.
These links are to be maintained to ensure that changes to relevant stakeholders are
known during the in-service life of the IFE installation.
(c) Prior to entry into service, operational procedures and crew training should be
accepted by the CAA.
(d) Participate in the scheduled maintenance task analyses. Amend existing tasks and
create new tasks as appropriate for addition to the AMP in collaboration with the TC/
STC holder(s) and project manager. This must be approved by the CAA prior to entry
into service. (See Appendix 1 for guidance.)
(e) Establish an effective IFE reliability system to feedback data to the TC/STC holder(s)
to ensure that the CAW of the installation is maintained at the intended design
standard. If necessary this will then produce additional changes to the ICAW.
6 CONCLUSION
As the expectation is that the project manager will be employed by an approved
organisation, this project management will form part of the routine oversight of the
approval by the CAA, when an IFE project is undertaken. The project manager should liaise
with the Surveyor assigned to the organisation approval at an early stage to apprise them
of the project definition and proposed plan. This will facilitate early identification of the
appropriate CAA personnel to ensure all aspects are efficiently overseen. Review of
continuing compliance with the relevant aspects of this Notice will form part of routine
operator and design organisation oversight by CAA.

Guidance on the Development of IFE Scheduled Maintenance Tasks and

Solutions
1 INTRODUCTION
As stated in paragraph 2 of this Appendix, current certification codes when applied to the
installation of operator optional systems may not provide the necessary cohesion to initiate
the current industry standard practice for scheduled maintenance development (e.g.
application of Maintenance Steering Group-3 (MSG-3) logic, that would result in an
amendment to the Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR)). Service experience has
shown that a large number of IFE related reported occurrences were smoke/fire events
caused by an ignition source within the IFE system. This type of failure consequence is
clearly a safety concern and needs to be addressed when identifying applicable and
effective scheduled maintenance and maintenance instructions. Recognising that
Passenger Services and IFE modifications will not normally trigger involvement of the
relevant Maintenance Review Board, the following guidance is considered an acceptable
means to develop appropriate maintenance controls for such systems.
2 PROCEDURE
2.1 In order to apply the logic in the following flowchart there are certain precursors to
understand. Design features within the modification where failure or damage may exist
and could result in a degradation of system function or a safety concern are designated
Maintenance Significant Items (MSI). MSIs are identified from asking the following
questions:
(a) Could the failure of this item be undetectable or not likely to be detected by the
operating/cabin crew during normal duties?
(b) Could the failure affect safety on the ground or in flight?
(c) Could the failure or combination of failures have a significant effect on operations?
(d) Could the failure or combination of failures have a significant economic impact?
2.2 For each MSI the function, functional failure, failure consequence and failure cause should
be identified:
(a) Function is the chosen design solution to prevent undesirable failure consequences
e.g. insulation function, cooling function etc.
(b) Functional failure is the failure of a chosen design solution to perform the intended
function.
(c) Failure consequence is the result of the functional failure. The most significant
failure consequences are the presence of an ignition, heat or electric shock source
that could lead to smoke/fire or passenger injury.
(d) Failure cause is the reason for the functional failure e.g.
• Wiring prone to damage;
• Components susceptible to fluid spill;
• Dust/debris contamination causing overheat;
• Components prone to overheat;
• Passenger traffic damage;
• Components subject to frequent removal/replacement;
• Poor electrical bonding;
• Mechanical breakdown due to wear.

Once the functions and functional failures have been identified the series of questions
contained in the following flowchart should be asked to determine the applicable and
effective scheduled maintenance task and/or solutions to mitigate/prevent the failure of a
chosen design solution. This development should be accomplished with the collaborative
effort of the TC/STC Holder(s), operator and project manager as appropriate.
2.4 Guidance on how to use the Flowchart
Box 1
This question must be asked for each functional failure of the chosen design solution being
analysed. The intent is to segregate the evident and hidden functional failures. The
operating crew consists of qualified flight compartment and cabin attendant personnel who
are on duty. Normal duties are those duties associated with the routine operation of the
aircraft on a daily basis.
Box 2
Failure consequences to consider are those previously described e.g. ignition, heat or
electric shock.
Box 3
The failure in question does not directly affect safety and therefore the issue is one of
reliability and/or passenger convenience. The analyst should discuss this with the operator
and address the failure as necessary.
Box 4
The question takes into account failure(s) in which either the single hidden/dormant failure
(from Box 1) or in combination with one additional failure could cause one of the identified
undesirable consequences.
Box 5
This is to propose various applicable and effective tasks and/or preventative actions, either
singularly or in combination, for the analyst to identify:
(5a) Inspection – either:
• Detailed (An intensive examination of a specific item, installation or assembly to detect
damage, failure or irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct
source of good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as mir-
rors, magnifying lenses, etc. may be necessary. Surface cleaning and elaborate access
procedures may be required).
Or
• General Visual (A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation or assem-
bly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity. This level of inspection is made from
within touching distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to en-
hance visual access to all exposed surfaces in the inspection area. This level of inspec-
tion is made under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar
lighting, flashlight or drop-light and may require removal or opening of access panels or
doors. Stands, ladders or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area being
checked.)
(5b) Functional Check
• A quantitative check to determine if one or more functions of an item performs within
specified limits.
(5c) Restoration Task
• That work necessary to return the item to a specific standard. Restoration may vary from
cleaning or replacement of single parts up to a complete overhaul.
(5d) Discard
• The removal from service of an item at a specified life limit.

(5e) Update Maintenance Practice/instructions

• Amend standard practices (either company or manufacturers) or update maintenance
manuals to provide additional guidance or precautions/warnings.
(5f) Training
• Update or introduce training programmes to address identified knowledge shortfalls in
crew, maintenance and/or support staff.
(5g) Design/Modification
• Identification of a shortcoming within the design that requires correction and subse-
quent modification.
Box 6
If any (or combination of) boxes 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are selected the task(s) should be
included in the operators approved maintenance programme. This will require approval by
the CAA.
Box 7
If 5e is considered the applicable and effective solution then the necessary documents
should be amended and validated e.g. Maintenance Manual, Wiring Diagram Manual,
Standard Practices Manual, Component Maintenance Manual.
Box 8
If training has been considered the applicable and effective solution, then the appropriate
training should be identified and implemented via a documented training needs analysis.
Box 9
If the identified solution rests with a redesign then this must be accomplished via an
approved process

Fatigue Lives
1 For fatigue reasons the major components (e.g. wings and centre-sections) of certain types
of aircraft have lives restricted to a specific number of flying hours, flight or landings. These
restrictions have, in the main, been confined to large transport type aircraft but more re-
cently it has been found necessary to introduce similar restrictions on certain smaller types
of aircraft, some of which are operated in the Private Category.
2 The ‘lifing’ of components is intended to prevent structural failure under the action of re-
peated air and ground loads experienced in service, the lives being based on the results of
tests carried out by the manufacturers of the aircraft. If the specified fatigue life of a critical
component is exceeded, the possibility arises of catastrophic structural failure. Where fa-
tigue lives have been imposed, full details have been published by individual manufacturers
in their Service Bulletins and compliance with such information is required by the CAA.
Structural Life limitations are determined for Likely Average utilisation of a type of aircraft.
Any operations which depart substantially from the typical, require reassessment of the
structural life limitations for those specific operations and may require alteration in the Safe
Fatigue Lives. Examples of operations in this category are low level flights in a maritime
surveillance, or geological survey role (particularly using pressurised aircraft), or long endur-
ance operations.
3 For the purpose of establishing structural life limitations a landing is defined as an occasion
when the main undercarriage wheels make contact with the airfield surface and lift is sig-
nificantly destroyed. A flight is associated with each landing and, therefore, the total
number of flights pressurised and unpressurised is equal to the total number of landings.
A pressurised flight is one in which the aircraft’s pressurisation system is operated at a
pressure differential of 14 kN/m2 (2 lb/in2) or above.
4 Because of the transfer of components from one aircraft to another, it has, in some instanc-
es, been impossible to establish the remaining safe life of individual components. For this
reason it is necessary to ensure that when a component in this category is installed in an
aircraft, a record is kept with the aircraft documents showing, as applicable, the hours
flown and number of flights or landings already sustained by the component at the time of
installation. In the case of pressurised flights the applicable pressure differential may be
significant. Certificates of Release to Service may not be signed until the signatory is sat-
isfied that the required history of the component has been established.
5 Failure to comply with the above procedure may, due to the absence of evidence showing
that the components in question have any remaining safe life, result in owners or operators
being required to replace such components prematurely.
NOTE: In addition to recording operating hours of Engines, Auxiliary Power Units and Propellers, the
CAA require on most engines, auxiliary power units and propellers that a record be kept of cycles
completed. Cycles are defined by the Manufacturer of each engine, auxiliary power unit and
propeller.

CAA Use Of Confidential Information

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Air Navigation Order places a duty on the CAA to consider:-
(a) the design, construction, workmanship and materials of aircraft and their associated
equipment, and
(b) the results of flying trials and such other tests as are necessary
when it is satisfying itself that aircraft registered in the UK are fit to fly. In carrying out this
duty the CAA, as it is empowered to do, makes extensive use of reports furnished to it by
appropriately qualified persons.
1.2 Such reports may come in various forms and have a range of purposes. They may provide
a physical description of anything from a complete aeroplane to a small item of equipment.
They may specify performance or present test results. They may demonstrate that certain
design or manufacturing standards are met.
2 CAA’S USE OF SUCH INFORMATION

2.1 However it is presented, the CAA’s interest in such information stems from its need to be
satisfied that a given aircraft or aircraft type is fit to fly. Once satisfied, if the CAA is
subsequently presented with another aircraft (or item of equipment or operating proposal
etc.) which it knows to be identical in nature it cannot and should not ignore this state of
knowledge and insist that the person seeking approval goes through the whole process of
satisfying the CAA again.
2.2 The CAA is aware that there may be commercial implications to the policy described in
paragraph 2.1, in that second or subsequent applications for a given approval may derive
substantial benefit from the evidence provided when the first application was cleared.
Technical data are frequently submitted with notes purporting to place restrictions on their
use and it is possible that undue significance may be attached to such notes. One purpose
of this Airworthiness Notice is, therefore, to make it clear that when an aircraft or item of
equipment has once been shown fit for a particular purpose, the fact has been established:
the CAA does not need to demand repetitive evidence from a later applicant for an identical
certification and will not ask for it. The onus is, of course, upon such an applicant to
demonstrate that the relevant circumstances are identical.
2.3 If safety depends on the way in which an aircraft (or item of equipment etc.) is used, the
CAA may have considered and approved certain proposed operating limitations, or it may
have required evidence that established operating procedures are acceptable; if so, it may
require similar material to be provided by subsequent operators seeking a similar
clearance. This is, however, a separate matter.
3 CONFIDENTIALITY OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

3.1 It is no contradiction of the principles in paragraph 2, to state that subject to the specific
provisions in the Civil Aviation Act, the CAA totally accepts prohibitions placed by the
owners of information on its disclosures to third parties. Thus, if an aircraft requires
modification in order to satisfy a design requirement, no details of a proprietary

modification would be passed on by the CAA to a third party without the express
permission of its owners. Nor, if an operation depended upon certain proprietary Flight
Manual limitations or data, would such information be passed on.
3.2 Having stated this, if the CAA were presented with details of a modification (or Flight
Manual amendment etc.) which was identified as being identical to one which from prior
experience it knew would satisfy an airworthiness requirement, such a modification would
have to be considered acceptable. Where this involves a light aircraft type of which there
exist or are likely to be numerous operators, the CAA may, for efficiency, issue a CAA
Supplement to the Flight Manual or Pilot’s Operating Handbook, based on data or
information supplied by a manufacturer or an Applicant. As with the situation described in
paragraph 2, the CAA can have no justification for requiring further evidence once it has
been established that its requirements can be satisfied in a particular way. The onus is, of
course, still upon such an applicant to demonstrate that the relevant circumstances are
identical.
4 EVIDENCE OF IDENTICALITY
4.1 To establish that a component, item of equipment, complete aircraft, or operating condition
is identical to one already approved may not be a simple matter. Design criteria,
manufacturing processes, quality control, systems safety assessments, flying qualities and
performance, etc., may all be involved and have to be considered.
4.2 In view of this, the CAA will invariably require applicants who request certification on the
basis of identicality to provide evidence that this claim is supported by the original applicant
(manufacturer, operator, etc.) against whose certification comparison is being made. In the
absence of such confirmation, the CAA will normally require substantiating data to be
developed and presented to justify certification in its own right.

Aircraft Insurance
1 Attention is drawn to the fact that when the CAA Safety Rgulation Group’s Test Pilots fly
aircraft for any test purposes neither the CAA nor the Test Pilots accept responsibility for
any damage to the aircraft or to third parties or to any person or property whatsoever.
2 All owners are, therefore, required to ensure that insurance policies covering damage to
their aircraft and to third parties are suitably endorsed to cover flights by the CAA Safety
Regulation Group’s Test Pilots.
NOTE: It is understood that in general, Insurers and Underwriters are willing to extend the cover of
their aircraft policies for this purpose on request and without further charge.

Maintenance Error Management Systems

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 In January 2003, JAR 145 amendment 5 (subsequently incorporated into EASA Part 145)
introduced paragraph 145.A.60 - Occurrence Reporting, to require organisations to
“establish an internal occurrence reporting system…to enable the collection and
evaluation of such reports, [which have resulted, or may result, in an unsafe condition].
This procedure shall identify adverse trends, corrective actions taken or to be taken by the
organisation to address deficiencies and include evaluation of all known relevant
information relating to such occurrences and a method to circulate the information as
necessary." CAA seeks to provide an environment in which such errors may be openly
investigated in order that the contributing factors and root causes of maintenance errors
can be addressed using a system that would complement, not supplant, the two current
systems for reporting maintenance errors (MORS and CHIRP).
NOTE: Square brackets [ ] denote CAA insertion.
1.2 Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) scheme exists in order that significant safety
issues are brought to the notice of the CAA. However, the MORs scheme is not intended
to collect and monitor the normal flow of day-to-day defects/incidents etc. which, in
remaining an industry responsibility (CAP 382 Mandatory Occurrence Reporting System,
paragraph 5.4.5), forms an important part of the overall operational safety task. This Notice
concerns, primarily, those events which fall below the MOR criteria but which,
nevertheless, are important for an organisation to understand and control. However, the
principles described in this Notice may also be applied by an organisation to their own
internal investigation of incidents meeting the MOR criteria
NOTE: Organisations will still be required to report MORs to the CAA.
1.3 The Confidential Human Factors Incident Reporting Programme (CHIRP) scheme provides
an alternate reporting mechanism for individuals who want to report safety concerns and
incidents confidentially. However CHIRP should not be considered as an alternative to
implementing a Maintenance Error Management System (MEMS) scheme. MEMS and
CHIRP perform different functions albeit acting towards the same ultimate aim, i.e.
improved flight safety.
1.4 Maintenance errors with serious consequences such as accidents or incidents are
routinely investigated by organisations, Air Accident Investigation Branch or CAA. Other
operationally significant events (e.g. technical delays, cancellations, etc.) may not be legally
required to be reported externally but are frequently investigated by organisations albeit
too often only to apportion responsibility for the event, rather than to determine cause.
Below these levels are events without operational significance which may rarely be
investigated (e.g. the omission of an oil filler cap which, by chance, is noticed and corrected
before flight). In order to gain a better understanding of the problems and factors which
contribute to errors it is necessary to investigate these and operationally significant events
before they possibly contribute to or cause an incident or accident in the future.
1.5 It is important to examine not just what happened, but why it happened, in order to
determine the root causes and problems.

2 MAINTENANCE ERROR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

2.1 AN 71 Issue 1 (2000) set out CAA policy on MEMS and, prior to the requirements
introduced by JAR 145.60 and Part 145.A.60, encouraged maintenance organisations, in
particular those maintaining large commercial air transport aircraft, to adopt MEMS
concepts. Subsequently, the JAA Maintenance Human Factors Working Group
incorporated very similar guidance into their report published in May 2001 (reproduced in
CAP 716 issue 2, 18/12/2003), with the key elements being incorporated into EASA Part
145.A.60(b) and AMC 145.A.60(b). Both key, and more detailed, elements are described
below, in particular the importance of a 'just culture' for the successful functioning of a
MEMS.
2.2 Prevailing industry best practice has shown that a MEMS should contain the following
elements:
• Clearly identified aims and objectives
• Demonstrable corporate commitment with responsibilities for the MEMS clearly de-
fined
• Corporate encouragement of uninhibited reporting and participation by individuals
• Disciplinary policies and boundaries identified and published
• An event investigation process
• The events that will trigger error investigations identified and published
• Investigators selected and trained
• MEMS education for staff, and training where necessary
• Appropriate action based on investigation findings
• Feedback of results to workforce
• Analysis of the collective data showing contributing factor trends and frequencies
2.3 The aim of the scheme is to identify the factors contributing to incidents, and to make the
system resistant to similar errors. Whilst not essential to the success of a MEMS, it is
recommended that for large organisations a computerised database be used for storage
and analysis of MEMS data. This would enable the full potential of such a system to be
utilised in managing errors.
2.4 For the purpose of this Airworthiness Notice a maintenance error is considered to have
occurred when the maintenance system, including the human element, fails to perform in
the manner expected in order to achieve its safety objectives. The human element includes
technicians, engineers, planners, managers, store-keepers – in fact any person
contributing to the maintenance process. The foregoing definition differs from that of a
human error as it demands consideration of the system failings (e.g. inadequate staffing,
organisational factors, tooling availability, ambiguous manuals etc.) as well as the error
committed by a person.
3 CAA ASSURANCES
3.1 It is recognised that the success of a MEMS programme is dependent on full and free
investigation without fear of action by the CAA. Accordingly, the CAA gives the following
assurances:
3.1.1 The CAA will be checking, as part of its approval audit process, that the organisation’s in-
ternal occurrence reporting and investigation process is functioning as described in the pro-
cedures approved by the CAA and in line with the objectives of the programme as
explained in CAP 716 Issue 2. The CAA audit may involve the review of disidentified MEMS
investigations such that the foregoing can be satisfied. However, the CAA makes the fol-
lowing assurances that it will:
(a) subject to (b) not disclose the name of the person submitting the MEMS report, nor
of a person to whom it relates, nor pass on a MEMS report to a third party, unless
required to do so by law or unless the person(s) concerned authorises such
disclosure.

(b) take all reasonable steps possible to avoid disclosing the identity of the reporter or of
those individuals involved in the occurrence, should any follow-up action arising from
a MEMS report be taken.
(c) not, as its policy, institute criminal proceedings in respect of unpremeditated or
inadvertent breaches of the law or requirements which come to its attention only
because they have been reported under the MEMS scheme, except in cases
involving dereliction of duty amounting to gross negligence or recklessness. Such an
assurance is similar to that provided under the MOR scheme.
3.2 As examples of what the CAA might require, as evidence that an organisation has a
working MEMS programme in accordance with Part 145.A.60(b), a surveyor may ask to
see the following documents and evidence, and in order to satisfy himself, he may wish to
speak to individual members of staff at any level within the organisation:
(a) A copy of the company’s safety and disciplinary policy and determine that staff are
aware of this policy, and believe that it will be, and has been, applied fairly.
(b) The procedure describing the company's process for reporting and investigating
incidents and errors, and the types of occurrences that would normally be investigated.
(c) Evidence that occurrences meeting the criteria detailed above, have been reported,
and to assure himself that occurrences are not frequently going unreported
(d) Evidence that occurrences meeting the criteria detailed above, have been
investigated, and to assure himself that occurrences are being, and have been, fairly
investigated. It is hoped that an organisation would cooperate with a surveyor in
putting him in touch with individuals who have been party to investigations, but only
with the agreement of the individuals concerned.
(e) Within a large company, evidence that MEMS investigators had received appropriate
training.
(f) Evidence that the organisation had acted, or was acting, upon results of MEMS
investigations, based on risk assessment. This may mean that no action had been
taken if a risk assessment has deemed that the causes were unlikely, in isolation or
in combination, to result in a hazardous event in the future. A surveyor would expect
to see evidence of action(s) to prevent root causes, and/or to mitigate the effects of
error where appropriate.
(g) Evidence of feedback to the workforce, on both occurrences and their investigation,
and remedial action taken, would also be expected.
3.3 For a small organisation, the surveyor would expect evidence as described above, but on
a less structured basis.
3.4 If an organisation has no evidence to offer in the form of reported and investigated
occurrences, the surveyor may wish to talk to staff to assure himself that there have been
no such occurrences, as opposed to occurrences going unreported and uninvestigated.
The surveyor would respect staff confidences in seeking such evidence.
4 MEMS CODE OF PRACTICE
4.1 The CAA encourages organisations to adopt the following code of practice regarding a MEMS:
4.1.1 Where an occurrence reported via MEMS indicates an unpremeditated or inadvertent lapse
by an employee, as described below, the CAA would expect the employer to act reasona-
bly, agreeing that free and full reporting is the primary aim in order to establish why the
event happened by studying the contributory factors that led to the incident, and that every
effort should be made to avoid action that may inhibit reporting.
4.1.2 In the context of error management it is considered that an unpremeditated or inadvertent
lapse should not incur any punitive action, but a breach of professionalism may do so. As
a guideline, individuals should not attract punitive action unless:
(a) the act was intended to cause deliberate harm or damage.
(b) the person concerned does not have a constructive attitude towards complying with
safe operating procedures.

(c) the person concerned knowingly violated procedures that were readily available,
workable, intelligible and correct.
(d) the person concerned has been involved previously in similar lapses.
(e) the person concerned has attempted to hide their lapse or part in a mishap.
(f) the act was the result of a substantial disregard for safety.
“Substantial disregard”, for this purpose, means:-
• In the case of a certification authorisation holder (e.g. licensed engineer or Certifying
Staff) the act or failure to act was a substantial deviation from the degree of care,
judgement and responsibility reasonably expected of such a person.
• In the case of a person holding no maintenance certification responsibility, the act or
failure to act was a substantial deviation from the degree of care and diligence expect-
ed of a reasonable person in those circumstances.
The degree of culpability would vary depending on any mitigating circumstances that are
identified as a result of the MEMS investigation. It follows that any action taken by the
organisation would also be on a sliding scale varying from corrective measures such as
retraining through to dismissal of the individual.
4.1.3 In the case of incidents investigated via a MEMS, irrespective of whether or not such inci-
dents were brought to the knowledge of the CAA, the CAA expects an organisation to ad-
dress the problems which contributed to these incidents. The organisation should, where
possible, implement appropriate measures to prevent the problem from re-occurring, or al-
ternatively monitor future occurrences, according to the degree of risk and likelihood of re-
occurrence. A supporting database is useful in these circumstances in helping to assess
the frequency of occurrence and any associated trends.
4.1.4 The CAA would expect that identified safety issues would be acted upon. If the CAA be-
comes aware, by whatever means, that a significant safety problem existed and was not
being addressed, it reserves the right to take appropriate action.
NOTE: The statement by an organisation that an incident is undergoing, or has undergone, a MEMS
investigation, without any additional information provided to explain why the incident occurred,
would not normally be an adequate basis for an MOR closure.
4.1.5 Organisations are encouraged to share their MEMS results with the CAA and with other
maintenance organisations. It is hoped that by sharing such data the CAA and industry can
jointly develop a better understanding of maintenance error causation and develop more
focused human factors strategies. However, it is appreciated that some information in a
MEMS may be considered sensitive to the organisation affected, and may need to be dis-
identified before being shared with other organisations.

Safety Critical Maintenance Tasks
1 A factor in a serious incident involving an oil leakage on a large twin engined commercial
air transport aircraft was the failure to re-install the drive cover plate on both engines fol-
lowing maintenance. The CAA wishes to highlight the potential safety benefit where com-
panies choose to apply aspects of Extended Range Twin Operations (ETOPS) maintenance
philosophy to multi-system aircraft in order to avoid the possibility of simultaneous incor-
rect maintenance on two or more safety critical systems. In this context, such systems are
those which have a fundamental influence upon the safe operation of the aircraft, engines
and their systems being a case in point.
2 Operators and maintenance organisations should consider the following paragraphs when
planning, and accomplishing scheduled and non-scheduled maintenance tasks on multi-
system aircraft.
(a) Arrangements should be made to stagger scheduled maintenance tasks on essential
or primary systems such that the accomplishment of similar critical tasks on two or
more systems are segregated. Consideration should be given to introducing proce-
dures that will ensure that such tasks are separated by at least one flight cycle. Where
it is not practical to introduce staggered maintenance, inspections and functional
checks should be performed independently to ensure system serviceability.
(b) Where it is not practical to introduce staggered maintenance at Base Maintenance in-
puts or during rectification of Line or Base defects, the use of separate work teams
together with the accomplishment of appropriate functional checks to verify system
serviceability should ensure a similar level of system integrity.
(c) Procedures should be established to provide maintenance and planning personnel
with guidance on the identification and accomplishment of safety critical tasks con-
ducted during scheduled and non-scheduled maintenance activities. Routine task
documentation should identify those tasks which may have a critical effect on safety
and should clearly identify the individual stages of such tasks. Maintenance Pro-
gramme or Maintenance Schedule basic rules should provide the necessary stand-
ards to ensure the identification of critical scheduled maintenance tasks.
3 Maintenance personnel’s initial and continuation training should highlight the critical nature
of conducting maintenance tasks on essential or primary systems. The instruction given
should provide personnel with the necessary information to identify and satisfactorily ac-
complish such tasks. Training programmes should focus on safety critical tasks and the
possible consequences of failure to follow the associated maintenance procedures. The
development of these training programmes should use feedback from maintenance expe-
rience, to enhance the programme and maintenance procedures.
4 The CAA considers that the intent of this Airworthiness Notice No. 72 provides a basis for
organisations to adopt good maintenance practices for multi-system aircraft.

Corrosion of Aircraft Structures
1 Recent aircraft experiences have reaffirmed the problems that corrosion can pose to the
airworthiness of transport aircraft. The more vulnerable aircraft are those which are 'high
time' (age beyond half their original design life aim) when corrosion in conjunction with fa-
tigue can pose serious airworthiness hazards. However, corrosion can also develop soon
after an aircraft has entered service with similar consequences.
2 Deterioration in material thickness of more than 50% and cracking of airframes induced by
corrosion have been found shortly after aircraft have been declared airworthy following a
major check in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
3 Non-destructive inspection (NDI) techniques have developed significantly over the last dec-
ade so that corrosion not readily detectable visually, such as within joints and between fay-
ing surfaces, can be detected by eddy current, ultrasonic and mechanical impedance
techniques, as appropriate. Development of NDI techniques is a continuing activity and the
advice of the aircraft manufacturer should be sought for information on the most effective
techniques to be used.
4 Aluminium alloys in particular are susceptible to intergranular corrosion (i.e. corrode along
the grain boundaries within the metal), thus the removal of superficial products of corrosion
followed by reprotection is generally not an effective method of preventing further corro-
sion. Repair or replacement of the component may be required. All repairs necessitated by
corrosive attack, of whatever nature, must be made to an approved repair scheme in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Further information on corrosion is
contained in CAP 562 'Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Information and Procedures' Leaflet 6-2.
5 Manufacturers’ maintenance documentation is being updated to include corrosion control

and prevention programmes, which give details of the areas most likely to suffer corrosion
and the required maintenance actions. Poorly drained areas, the faying surfaces of joints,
fuselage bilges, and structures concealed by sound proofing or hidden below freight bay
floors, are typical of the areas liable to corrosive attack requiring particular attention.
6 The use of organic water-displacing and corrosion inhibiting compounds is advocated in

corrosion control programmes. Normally the compounds approved for use and the areas
of application are stated by the aircraft manufacturer. Operators or maintenance organisa-
tions applying other compounds have the responsibility to justify technically, to the CAA,
the fitness for purpose of those they use. Furthermore, adequate procedures should be in
place to ensure that the material procured by the operator or maintenance organisation
consistently meets its specification. (See CAAIP Leaflet 11-22, Appendix 51-3).
7 The use of corrosion inhibitors does not negate the requirement for a comprehensive in-
spection as part of a corrosion control programme. Such programmes have mandatory sta-
tus, see Generic Requirement No. 7 in CAP 747 – Mandatory Requirements for
Airworthiness.

8 Operators and maintenance engineers are reminded of the continual need for vigilance to
detect the onset of corrosion, particularly where ageing aircraft are concerned. Confirmed
evidence of significant corrosion should be reported at once to the manufacturer and to the
CAA.

Airworthiness Concessions In Respect Of Foreign Built Aircraft
1 INTRODUCTION From time to time UK operators find it necessary to apply to the CAA
for concessions to cover the non-compliance of certain foreign built aircraft with the ap-
plicable requirements notified in Section 2, Part 4 of CAP 747, “Mandatory Requirements
for Airworthiness”. The requirements notified in CAP 747, Section 2, Part 4 are the meas-
ures that the CAA has applied in the UK in addition to the standards applied by EASA.
These measures have been notified to the European Commission in accordance with Ar-
ticle 10.1 of Regulation 1592/2002. Following a review the Commssion will decide wheth-
er to apply the notified measures throughout the European Union (EU), or to require that
the measures are revoked. This Airworthiness Notice 74 concerns concessions against
these notified items only. It is not applicable to concessions against requirements applied
by EASA. The reasons why applications for concessions are made include:
(a) Aircraft being purchased and placed on the UK Register at short notice.
(b) Aircraft being dry leased (see Note 1) on a relatively long term basis (e.g. 12 months
or more), but required in service before all necessary modifications can be embodied.
(c) Aircraft being dry leased on a short term basis (e.g. 6 months), for which the lead time
on parts procurement may render compliance difficult.
NOTE: (1) “Dry lease” refers to those aircraft under operational control of a UK operator (i.e.
subject to a direction under Article 151 of the ANO). Such aircraft are required to meet all
applicable requirements.
NOTE: (2) Aircraft on ‘wet lease’, i.e. under the control of the lessor operator, are considered
the responsibility of the State in which they are registered and by whom they are operated.
This Notice summarises the criteria which will normally be applied by the CAA in
determining whether or not, in a particular case, a concession should be granted.
2 AEROPLANES WITH A PROVEN AND SATISFACTORY RECORD

2.1 Definition Aeroplanes which, according to their class, satisfy the criteria in Appendix 1
are considered to have a proven and satisfactory record.
2.2 Policy on Concessions The aeroplane must normally be of a kind Type Certificated in
the European Union (EU) and in principle be in compliance with the requirements of CAP
747. However, subject to the criteria set out in Appendix 2 of this Notice, the CAA will
give consideration to granting concessions against compliance with individual
requirements notified in Section 2, Part 4 of CAP 747. Having regard to the record of the
type, it will normally be possible to consider granting concessions against certain CAP 747
requirements for up to 6 months and, for large aeroplanes with more than 50 million hours
of satisfactory service experience, this period may be increased.
3 AEROPLANES OTHER THAN WELL PROVEN TYPES AND HELICOPTERS

3.1 Definition Aeroplanes other than those meeting the criteria of Appendix 1, and
helicopters.

3.2 Policy on Concessions The aircraft must normally be of a kind Type Certificated in the
EU and in principle be in compliance with the Requirements of CAP 747. Requests for
concessions will be expected to be clearly justified in the light of the considerations in
Appendix 2. Where concessions are granted in respect of CAP 747 requirements they will
be of limited duration and will not, under normal circumstances, exceed 6 months in
duration.

Criteria Applied by CAA When Considering Concessions Against

UK Certification Requirements
1 Concessions will be considered for up to six months on any one aircraft, and this period
may be extended where service experience exceeds 50 million hours.
2 In considering whether a concession should be granted, account will be taken of the acci-
dent record with respect to the Additional Requirement or other requirement in question.
3 The operator’s obligations to comply with operational requirements may constrain the
scope of any Concession. Amongst other items:
(a) Aircraft Performance Information
– comply with UK standards in important respects.
(b) Handling, flight deck layout, instrumentation, flight management systems and warn-
ings
– differences within a fleet to be acceptable may require dedicated crews and
relevant training.

Counter/Pointer Type Instruments (Altimeters)
1 The United Kingdom Altimeter Committee in 1965 concluded the best altitude presenta-
tion was provided by the counter/pointer type instrument. The CAA is satisfied that subse-
quent experience has supported this conclusion.
2 In the case of turbo-jet-engined aircraft, in which hazardous misreading of altimeters is

more likely to occur, it is desirable to eliminate reliance on the less satisfactory types of
presentation. Therefore, subject to the proviso of paragraph 3, all turbo-jet-engined aircraft
of over 5700 kg (12 500 lb) all up weight must have as a minimum one of the following:-
(a) One approved counter/pointer type instrument visible to both crew members, in ad-
dition to their normally positioned altimeters, or
(b) One approved counter/pointer type instrument in the Captain’s normal altimeter posi-
tion, in addition to the existing altimeters at other crew stations.
3 The following exception to paragraph 2 is permissible:

The CAA, whilst preferring the arrangement described in paragraph 2, will continue to
accept drum/pointer altimeters where these are standard equipment on existing aircraft.
(For newly designed aircraft drum/pointer altimeters will not be accepted.)
4 This Airworthiness Notice is only applicable to aircraft operators who operate in accordance
with the Air Navigation Order (ANO). Those aircraft operators who operate or have elected
to comply with JAR-OPS1, must fulfil the requirements of JAR-OPS1.652(c).

The Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme – Changes

1 INTRODUCTION
The MOR scheme has changed. The changes have come about because a European
Directive (DIRECTIVE 2003/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13
June 2003 on occurrence reporting in civil aviation) requires all EU Member States to
operate an Aviation Occurrence Reporting system in accordance with the provisions of the
Directive.
2 UK LAW
The UK has implemented the Directive by transposing it into the Air Navigation Order 2005.
The new Mandatory Occurrence Reporting requirements are contained in Article 142 of the
Air Navigation Order 2005, replacing Article 117 in the Air Navigation Order (2000).
3 APPLICABILITY
There are no changes to applicability insofar as airworthiness issues are involved. Article
142 requires occurrence reporting for all public transport aircraft and all (excluding those
with Permits to Fly) turbine engined aircraft.
'Public transport aircraft' means aircraft flying, or intended by the operator to fly, for the
purpose of public transport (see Air Navigation Order 2005, Article 157).
4 CAP 382
A new edition of CAP 382 (The Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme - Information
and Guidance) has been issued.

CAA Approvals – Non Transferability
1 INTRODUCTION This Notice provides advice and information to CAA Approved Organi-
sations concerning the legal implications and CAA approvals policy relating to company
name changes and/or the transfer of business and assets to another company.
2 GENERAL The present business climate is resulting in increasing numbers of CAA Ap-
proved Organisations either changing their name and/or transferring their business and as-
sets to another company. It is essential therefore that registered companies advise the
CAA of such changes before they take place, and understand the impact the changes may
have upon continuation of their CAA approval.
NOTE: Under the Civil Aviation Act, no information furnished to the CAA under the ANO shall be
disclosed by the CAA except under the specific provisions of the Act.
3 CAA APPROVALS
3.1 CAA Approval is granted to a legal entity and, in the case of an organisation, this is clearly
identified with its company registration number. A CAA Approval once granted is not
transferable from one registered company to another.
3.2 When the business and assets of a CAA Approved Organisation (company A) are sold or
transferred to another company (company B), the CAA Approvals issued to company A
become null and void at that time and no further design or release certifications may be
made. If company B is not already approved by the CAA, for it to operate as a CAA
Approved Organisation, it will be necessary to make an application for a new approval to
the CAA. Since each CAA Approval is identified by a unique reference number, the issue
of a new CAA approval will necessitate amendment of company documentation to show
the new number. In many cases the new CAA approval can be issued in an expeditious
manner providing no other changes have occurred in the company which would affect the
approval. If company B already holds a CAA approval, it may be necessary for it to apply to
vary the approval to assimilate the activities of company A and in such circumstances
advice should be sought from the CAA prior to the acquisition.
3.3 Where a company changes its name but its company registration number remains the
same, the legal entity has not changed and therefore the existing CAA approval can
continue, using the same approval number, providing adequate prior notice is given.
3.4 In either case, a CAA Certificate of Approval will need to be issued to approve the new
company or record the change of name. Therefore, it is important for organisations to
contact the CAA at the earliest opportunity when a change of status as detailed above is
to take place. It should be noted that an appropriate Certificate of Incorporation (if
applicable) will be required as evidence of the change before a new approval certificate can
be issued.
3.5 Any fees associated with the investigation of approvals and the issue of new documents
will be in accordance with the current CAA Scheme of Charges.

Communications On Safety Matters
1 From time to time people have occasion to write to the CAA or one of its officials about a
significant safety matter. It is clearly important that there should be some way in which
senders can verify that such information has been received by the CAA and equally impor-
tant that the CAA should know that such information has been sent.
2 It is the intention of the CAA that any item of correspondence is acknowledged within 7-
10 days. If the sender does not receive a satisfactory indication that the communication
has been received by the CAA within that time they should make further direct contact with
the addressee.
3 Occurrence Reports (Mandatory or Voluntary) are not normally acknowledged individually.

Receipt by the Authority is, however, acknowledged by inclusion in the monthly Occur-
rence List widely circulated to all organisations participating in the Occurrence Reporting
System. Any Reports submitted on a confidential basis will be individually acknowledged
when a means of contact is provided.
3.1 Any queries relating to Occurrence Reports should be directed to the Safety Investigation
and Data Department:
Telex: 878753
4 If after further contact with the addressee there is still doubt that the item of correspond-
ence has been received, the sender should contact the following as appropriate:

Maximum Total Weight Authorised For Agricultural Operations And Other

Aerial Applications
1 CAA policy on United Kingdom certification of aeroplanes which are intended to be used
for agricultural purposes (hereinafter referred to as agricultural aeroplanes) has, hitherto
been to certificate these aeroplanes at the Maximum Total Weight Authorised (the Normal
MTWA) at which compliance has been established with the national airworthiness require-
ments of the country of origin.
2 Certain countries, notably USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, permit agricultural aer-
oplanes to be operated at weights in excess of the Normal MTWA, the extent of excess
being determined by the minimum value of manoeuvring load factor at which it is consid-
ered that airworthiness structural requirements can be met when account is taken of the
typical pattern of loading appropriate to agricultural operations.
3 The CAA is, as a result of considerable investigation, satisfied that a capability for meeting
all airworthiness structural requirements at a minimum positive manoeuvring load factor
equal to 3·0 coupled with operational limitations appropriate to operating at weights ex-
ceeding the Normal MTWA, is acceptable for agricultural operations, and will not result in
a significant increase in the risk of structural failure. The CAA will require evidence to sub-
stantiate the continued validity of any fatigue life limitations (or to assess the need to spec-
ify a fatigue life) for the particular aeroplane type.
4 In respect of aeroplanes of United Kingdom or foreign origin, application for an increase in

MTWA for Agricultural Operations may be made to the CAA on Form AD 282, for approval
as a Major Modification.
4.1 The MTWA for Agricultural Operations shall not exceed whichever is the least of (a) to (d)
and shall be subject to the conditions of paragraph 4.2.
(a) The weight at which compliance with specific airworthiness structural requirements
can be established at a limit positive manoeuvring load factor equal to 3·0.
NOTE: In the absence of evidence from the aeroplane designer substantiating a greater weight,
this weight will be limited to 120% of the Normal MTWA (or 130% of the Normal MTWA for
aeroplanes originally certificated as utility category or semi-aerobatic aeroplanes).
(b) The weight at which a minimum gradient of climb of 4·5% in the take-off configuration
can be achieved at the altitude and temperature at the take-off surface.
(c) The maximum weight recommended by the aeroplane designer for agricultural oper-
ations.
(d) The weight at which compliance can be established to the satisfaction of the CAA
with those flight handling requirements applicable at initial certification in the country
of origin.
4.2 The conditions and further limitations associated with the MTWA for Agricultural
Operations are as follows:-
(a) Any increase in Maximum Landing Weight shall be substantiated by the aeroplane de-
signer.

(b) Operation at weights in excess of the Normal MTWA shall be restricted to those
flights in the course of which aerial application is to be carried out. The Normal MTWA
shall not be exceeded on flights made for other purposes including ferrying or posi-
tioning the aeroplane.
(c) Provision shall be made for rapid jettisoning of the hopper contents and shall be plac-
arded.
(d) Information on the effect of the increase of weight on the fatigue life of the aeroplane,
in the form of a fatigue analysis, shall be provided by the aeroplane designer. Failing
this the applicant shall provide evidence of the operating hours achieved by high-time
aeroplanes of the same type, together with the associated operating weights, from
which the CAA will assess the need for the setting of a fatigue life.
(e) The use of wing-flaps shall be restricted to take-off and landing, unless en-route use
at the increased weight is substantiated by the aeroplane designer.
(f) The Never Exceed Speed, VNE, at the increased weight shall be equal to the Design
Manoeuvring Speed, VA, established for the Normal MTWA, and shall be placarded.
(g) The flying qualities shall be established, to the satisfaction of the CAA, to be adequate
for the role, when the aeroplane is operated in accordance with these limitations.
(h) If the overload condition requires particular care to remain within the allowable centre-
of-gravity limits, or if ballasting is required, then appropriate loading instructions and
placards shall be provided.
(i) Intentionally left blank
(j) Appropriate amendments shall be made to the Approved Maintenance Schedule to
take account of any additional inspections and life limitations recommended by the
aeroplane designer or required by the CAA appropriate to agricultural overload.
NOTE: If as a result of the weight increase the aeroplane exceeds 2730 kg MTWA,
maintenance may continue to be in accordance with the provisions of the Light Aircraft
Maintenance Schedule.
(k) Where the aeroplane is converted from an agricultural overload role to a passenger-
carrying role, such inspections, in addition to those prescribed in the Approved Main-
tenance Schedule (e.g. LAMS), as shall be agreed by the CAA shall be carried out be-
fore the aeroplane is operated for the carriage of passengers.
(l) All prescribed aeroplane and engine limitations, other than those specifically varied in
accordance with (a) to (j), shall remain in force.
(m) Appropriate amendments to the Manual(s) associated with the Certificate of Airwor-
thiness (e.g. Flight Manual) shall be promulgated.
5 Application may also be made for an increase in MTWA for non-agricultural aerial applica-
tion operations. Approval may be given subject to the foregoing conditions and limitations,
provided that the risk to third parties is no greater than in a typical agricultural case.

Use Of Motor Gasoline (MOGAS) In Certain Light Aircraft

1 INTRODUCTION
Because of the growing difficulties experienced in obtaining Aviation Gasoline (Avgas),
particularly in small quantities, and the ready availability of Motor Gasoline (MOGAS), CAA
were asked to consider permitting the use of motor gasoline in general aviation aircraft. It
has been agreed to permit the use of MOGAS in certain single-engined aircraft using low
compression ratio unsupercharged engines. (See Appendix, Schedule 1). In such aircraft
any adverse effects of using MOGAS are likely to be minimal and, if present, are likely to
become apparent over a sufficiently long period to enable them to be controlled
satisfactorily by normal maintenance procedures. Accordingly, the CAA has issued an
Exemption, in the terms set out in the Appendix to this Notice, from compliance with the
fuel specifications and associated limitations set out in the Official Manuals forming part of
the Certificate of Airworthiness. CAA will give consideration to individual applications in
respect of aircraft not listed in the Schedule. (See paragraph 2.3). Fuel obtained direct from
a filling station forecourt may be acceptable in accordance with the provisions of
Airworthiness Notice No. 98A.
CAUTION: BS 7800:2000 (unleaded) MOGAS or MOGAS of any standard other than BS
4040 is not permitted by either this Notice No. 98 or Airworthiness Notice No. 98A.
2 GENERAL
2.1 It should be noted that although CAA is satisfied that the listed aircraft/engines may be
operated with adequate safety on MOGAS, provided the limitations* are observed, CAA
takes no responsibility for infringement of manufacturer’s warranty, accelerated
deterioration of the engine or airframe components, or any other long term deleterious
effects.
NOTE: * With regard to the limitation on fuel temperature, it may be assumed that the temperature
of the fuel in the tank prior to the commencement of the flight is less than 20°C unless the ambient
temperature has been in excess of this temperature for some hours, or the aircraft has been standing
in continuous direct sunshine.
2.2 Because of likely differences between MOGAS and AVGAS, the following precautions are
to be taken:
(a) Use only freshly obtained supplies; avoid long storage in the aircraft fuel tank.
(b) If the aircraft has been standing for 24 hours or longer, check fuel for water.
(c) As carburettor icing is more likely when using MOGAS, particular attention should be
paid to the use of carburettor hot air. This should include:
– making sure, during the pre-take-off checks, that a good RPM drop is obtained
when hot air is selected,
– intermittent selection of hot air in flight whether or not the symptoms of loss of
power are experienced.
(d) In the course of the daily check and other routine inspections, pay particular attention
to non-metallic fuel pipes and seals for signs of leaks or deterioration.

(e) After any prolonged period of heat soak at low fuel flow (e.g. hot day ground idling)
establish the ability to maintain full power before commencing a take-off.
2.3 Applications (which must be with the owner’s written consent) for use of MOGAS in
aircraft not listed in the Appendix, Schedule 1, should be made to CAA, Safety Regulation
Group, Aviation House, Gatwick. The CAA will need to be satisfied on the following
aspects. The applicant should either provide authenticated information substantiating
compliance or apply for a Major Modification for which the appropriate charges will be
made.
(a) The engine should have been either type certificated for operation with minimum
grade fuel of 80 MON or less, or test evidence should be provided establishing that
the engine has an adequate margin from detonation under the most adverse operat-
ing conditions.
(b) There should either be positive pressure throughout the fuel system under all normal
operating conditions, or testing of the system should be carried out to a schedule
agreed by the CAA, to show freedom from vapour locks.
(c) Non-metallic pipes, seals, etc., in the fuel system should be unlikely to be seriously
affected by MOGAS.
NOTE: Where composite materials, e.g. fibre glass, are used in the construction of fuel tanks,
the CAA will require evidence that these materials are compatible with MOGAS.
(d) There should be no doubts regarding the efficacy of the protection against carburettor
icing.
(e) Any specific prohibition of the use of MOGAS in the aeroplane or engine manuals
should be brought to the attention of the CAA, together with a copy of the relevant
page of the manual.
3 RECORDING USE OF MOGAS All operating times with fuel containing 25% or more of
MOGAS must be recorded in the airframe log book, and block records must be transferred
at appropriate intervals into the engine log book(s).

Air Navigation Order 2005 Exemption

1 The Civil Aviation Authority, in exercise of its powers under Article 153 of the Air Navigation
Order 2005, hereby exempts the aircraft set out in Schedule 1 hereto, with engines as list-
ed therein, from the provisions of Article 8(1) of the said Order to the extent necessary to
enable it to fly using four star Motor Gasoline to BSI specification BS 4040 : 2001. Unless
it is known, on a particular flight, that the proportion of Motor Gasoline in the aircraft’s fuel
is less than 25%, the aircraft shall be deemed for the purpose of this Exemption to be using
Motor Gasoline.
2 This Exemption is subject to the following conditions:

(a) No Motor Gasoline fuel shall be used for flight unless it has been proven to comply
with BS 4040 : 2001 and Schedule 2 of this Notice No 98.
(b) No flight shall be made pursuant to this Exemption unless either :
(i) the temperature of the fuel in the tank prior to the commencement of the flight may
reasonably be assumed to be less than 20°C and the aircraft is flown below a pressure
altitude of 6000 ft, or
(ii) the written permission of the CAA has been obtained to operate to different
limitations and that the terms of the permission are complied with.
(c) No flight shall be made pursuant to this Exemption unless the limitations pursuant to
sub-paragraph (b) above due to the use of Motor Gasoline are set out on a placard
which is affixed in a conspicuous position in the flight crew compartment of the air-
craft.
(d) In respect of every flight pursuant to this Exemption, there shall be endorsed in the
aircraft log book maintained in respect of the aircraft, a statement that the flight was
undertaken pursuant to this Exemption. Block records must be transferred to the en-
gine log book at appropriate intervals.
3 The Exemption dated 21 July 1995 is hereby revoked.
4 This Exemption shall have effect from the date hereof until revoked.

Use Of Filling Station Forecourt Motor Gasoline (MOGAS) In Certain Light

Aircraft
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Airworthiness Notice No. 98 introduced arrangements permitting the use of motor
gasoline (MOGAS), but excluded the practice of using fuel obtained direct from a filling
station forecourt. This restriction is lifted in respect of certain light aircraft classes and
categories of Certification of Airworthiness, defined in this Airworthiness Notice.
Accordingly, the CAA has issued two Exemptions in the terms set out in Appendices 1 and
2 to this Notice No. 98A. Aircraft which do not satisfy these conditions may be eligible for
using MOGAS in accordance with Airworthiness Notice No. 98 or as a result of
Modification action approved by the CAA.
CAUTION: BS EN228: 2004 and BS 7800:2000 (unleaded) MOGAS or MOGAS of any
standard other than BS 4040 is not permitted by either this Notice No. 98A or
Airworthiness Notice No. 98. (Refer to Airworthiness Notice No. 98B.)
1.2 To permit the use of BS 4040:2001 MOGAS from filling station forecourts, this Notice
contains an Exemption from some of the requirements of Article 137 of the Air Navigation
Order 2005 (as amended) subject to certain conditions. (See Appendix 2 to this
Airworthiness Notice.)
2 GENERAL
2.1 It should be noted that although the CAA is satisfied that the qualifying aircraft/engines may
be operated with adequate safety on alcohol free filling station forecourt fuel, provided the
limitations* are observed, the CAA takes no responsibility for infringement of
manufacturer’s warranty, accelerated deterioration of the engine or airframe components,
or any other long term deleterious effects.
NOTE: * With regard to the limitation on fuel temperature, it may be assumed that the temperature
of the fuel in the tank prior to the commencement of the flight is less than 20°C unless the ambient
temperature has been in excess of this temperature for some hours, or the aircraft has been standing
in continuous direct sunshine.
2.2 Because of likely differences between filling station forecourt fuel and Avgas, the following
precautions are to be taken:
(a) Test the fuel to ensure it contains NO alcohol.
NOTE: A simple method for determining the presence of alcohol in fuel is to thoroughly shake
a test cylinder containing 90 ml of the fuel to be tested and 10 ml of water. If, after settling, the
water volume has increased, then alcohol is probably present in the fuel and the fuel is,
therefore, unsuitable for aviation use.
(b) Use only freshly obtained supplies; avoid long storage in the aircraft fuel tank.
(c) If the aircraft has been standing for 24 hours or longer, check fuel for water.
(d) As carburettor icing is more likely when using MOGAS, particular attention should be
paid to the use of carburettor hot air/ heating. For pilot selectable systems this should
include:
Page 1 of 2 AN No 98A, Issue 3

• making sure, during the pre-take-off checks, that a good RPM drop is obtained
when hot air is selected,
• intermittent selection of hot air in flight whether or not the symptoms of loss of
power are experienced.
For non selectable systems, ensure that the carburettor heating is serviceable.
(e) In the course of the daily check and other routine inspections, pay particular attention
to non-metallic fuel pipes and seals for signs of leaks or deterioration.
(f) After any prolonged period of heat soak at low fuel flow (e.g. hot day ground idling)
establish the ability to maintain full power before commencing a take-off.
3 RECORDING USE OF FILLING STATION FORECOURT MOTOR GASOLINE (MOGAS)

All operating times with fuel containing 25% or more of MOGAS must be recorded in the
airframe log book, and block records must be transferred at appropriate intervals into the
engine log book(s).
4 CANCELLATION This Notice cancels Airworthiness Notice No. 98A Issue 2, dated 18
March 1999 which should be destroyed.

Use Of Filling Station Forecourt Unleaded Motor Gasoline In Microlight

Aeroplanes
1 INTRODUCTION
Airworthiness Notice No. 98 and No. 98A permit the use of leaded Motor Gasoline
(MOGAS) to Specification BS 4040. The supplies of this fuel became very limited after the
year 2000. Consideration has been given to the possibility of using unleaded MOGAS to
specification BS EN228:2004 and BS 7070 in aircraft powered by piston engines (including
rotary piston engines). Although some engines are type approved to operate on this fuel,
MOGAS supplies may not be obtainable in accordance with Article 137 of the Air
Navigation Order 2005 (as amended). Accordingly, this Airworthiness Notice No. 98B by
means of the attached Exemption to Article 137 of the Air Navigation Order, permits the
operation of microlight aeroplanes using unleaded motor gasoline, subject to the
conditions stated in this Notice.
2 GENERAL
2.1 The flight and landing characteristics of microlight aeroplanes are designed to be such that
an engine failure resulting in partial or total loss of power only, is not an unacceptable safety
risk. However it is a condition of the use of unleaded MOGAS that the user fully accepts
that there is an increased risk of engine failure when using fuels obtained from filling
station forecourts rather than dedicated aviation fuel installations.
2.2 The provisions of this Notice are not applicable to aircraft other than microlight aeroplanes.
Accordingly other aircraft may have to use alternative approved fuels, e.g. AVGAS when
leaded MOGAS is no longer available, pending a supply of aviation grade unleaded fuel.
2.3 Aviation grade unleaded fuel is currently under development and should become
commercially available during the next few years.
3 CONDITIONS FOR USING UNLEADED MOTOR GASOLINE OBTAINED FROM A

FILLING STATION FORECOURT
(a) The aircraft is a microlight aeroplane within the definition of ANO Article 155, having
in force a valid Permit to Fly issued by the Authority or conducting flight trials under
an appropriate permission (e.g. B Conditions) for the purpose of obtaining such a Per-
mit.
(b) The engine/aircraft combination is CAA approved to use unleaded fuel complying with
Specification BS EN228:2004 or BS 7070.
(c) Records of fuel supply must be maintained (date, location of purchase, quantity pur-
chased, method of storage).
4 PRECAUTIONS
(a) The fuel must not be rendered unfit by storage, contamination etc.
(b) Use only freshly obtained supplies; avoid long storage in the aeroplane fuel tank or in
containers.
Page 1 of 2 AN No 98B, Issue 4

(c) The fuel must be checked for the presence of water if the aeroplane has been stand-
ing for 24 hours or longer.
(d) During the daily check and other routine inspections, pay particular attention to non-
metallic fuel pipes and seals for signs of leaks or deterioration.

Use Of Filling Station Forecourt Unleaded Motor Gasoline In Certain Light

Aircraft
1 INTRODUCTION
Airworthiness Notice Nos. 98 and 98A permit the use of leaded Motor Gasoline (MOGAS)
to Specification BS 4040. The supplies of this fuel became very limited after the year 2000.
Consideration has been given to the possibility of using unleaded MOGAS to specification
BS EN228:2004 in aircraft powered by piston engines (including rotary piston engines).
Although some engines are type approved to operate on this fuel, MOGAS supplies may
not be obtainable in accordance with Article 137 of the Air Navigation Order 2005 (as
amended). Accordingly, this Airworthiness Notice No. 98C by means of the attached
Exemption to Article 137 of the Air Navigation Order, permits the operation of certain light
aircraft using unleaded motor gasoline obtained from a filling station forecourt, subject to
the conditions stated in this Notice. (Airworthiness Notice No. 98B provides a similar
Exemption for certain Microlight aeroplanes.)
2 GENERAL
It should be noted that although the CAA is satisfied that the qualifying aircraft/engines may
be operated with adequate safety on filling station forecourt fuel, subject to the conditions
stated in this Notice, the CAA takes no responsibility for infringement of manufacturer’s
warranty, accelerated deterioration of the engine or airframe components, or any other
long term deleterious effects.
3 CONDITIONS FOR USING UNLEADED MOTOR GASOLINE OBTAINED FROM A

FILLING STATION FORECOURT
(a) The aircraft is a single engine aeroplane or rotorcraft (not exceeding 2730 kg MTWA),
excluding aircraft contained in the Schedules to AN 98B.
(b) The engine/aircraft combination is CAA approved to use unleaded fuel complying with
Specification BS EN228:2004.
(c) Records of fuel supply must be maintained (date, location of purchase, quantity pur-
chased, method of storage).
NOTE: Aircraft which can comply with 3(b), (as of the date of amendment of this Notice), are listed
in Schedule 2 to this Notice together with the associated modifications required.
4 PRECAUTIONS
(a) The fuel must not be rendered unfit by storage, contamination etc.
(b) Only freshly obtained fuels must be used; avoid long storage in the aircraft fuel tank
or in containers.
(c) The fuel must be checked for the presence of water if the aircraft has been standing
for 24 hours or longer.
(d) During the daily check and other routine inspections, pay particular attention to non
metallic fuel pipes and seals for signs of leaks or deterioration.
Page 1 of 2 AN No 98C, Issue 3

(e) The ability to maintain Take-Off power must be verified before the aircraft is commit-
ted to completing a take-off.
(f) The fuel must be tested to ensure that it contains NO ALCOHOL.
NOTE: A simple method for determining the presence of alcohol in fuel is to shake thoroughly a test
cylinder containing 90 ml of the fuel to be tested and 10 ml of water. If, after settling,the water
volume has increased, then alcohol is probably present in the fuel and the fuel is, therefore,
unsuitable for aviation use.

where the combination of modifications has been validated by the CAA under Airworthi-
ness Approval Notes 27743 and 27744.
Group 3. Aircraft embodying FAA STC-approved modifications to the engine, and for which compat-
ibility between the fuel system and the fuel has been accepted by the CAA. The approval
of these aircraft and their modified engines is given under Airworthiness Approval Notes
27742 and 27744.
NOTE: Aircraft issued with Permits to Fly on the basis of recommendations made by organisations holding
appropriate approvals issued by the CAA, (e.g. PFA, BMAA, etc.), may be approved to use unleaded motor gasoline
using the modification approval procedures of those organisations.
GROUP 1
Any aircraft which has a valid UK Certificate of Airworthiness and has unleaded motor gasoline (EN228)
