    This document outlines new civil aviation requirements in India regarding the overhaul of reciprocating engines. It specifies that all reciprocating engines must undergo a complete overhaul at least once every 10 years, regardless of operating hours. This is to ensure safety even for engines with low utilization that could still experience internal deterioration from prolonged storage or irregular use. However, manufacturers' calendar-based overhaul requirements take precedence. Regional aviation officials can also require earlier overhaul if evidence shows internal deterioration before the 10-year period. The new rules aim to standardize engine overhaul based on calendar time for improved safety.

    CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS


    SECTION 2 - AIRWORTHINESS
    SERIES 'S' PART II
    2nd May, 1974 EFFECTIVE: FORTHWITH

    Subject: Fixation of Calendar period, for determining overhaul life of


    reciprocating engines.

    1. PURPOSE:

    This part of CAR specifies a maximum overhaul period on calendar basis between
    two consecutive overhauls, irrespective of the operational life of the engine in terms
    of operating hours, to ensure safety/ airworthiness of engines even when the
    utilisation is low.

    This CAR is issued under the provision of Rule 133A of the Aircraft Rules, 1937.

    2. APPLICABILITY:

    This applies to all types of reciprocating engines and the accessories mounted on
    such engines unless any particular accessory has been specifically permitted to
    operate otherwise.

    3. SCOPE:

    Prolonged storage or very irregular and low utilisation may lead to internal
    deterioration of engines even when preserved under recommended conditions.
    Hence an indefinite lapsed period between overhaul of such engines may not always
    ensure adequate safety during subsequent operation.

    It is therefore stipulated that all reciprocating engines must be completely stripped,


    thoroughly inspected, reassembled and tested at least once in ten years, irrespective
    of the operation life, if the engines are otherwise not due for complete overhaul. Any
    extension of calendar period, beyond ten years, will not be normally considered.

    Note: However, if the manufacturer has laid down overhaul periodicity on calendar
    basis between two consecutive overhauls, the manufacturer's requirement
    prevails.

    Notwithstanding the above, officers incharge of Regional/ Sub-Regional Airworthiness


    Office may require the overhaul of an engine earlier than 10 years period, if there is
    evidence to the effect that the engine has deteriorated internally.
