DESCRIPTION

EU-OPS and PART M:

The EU-OPS and Part M (M.A. 306) specify that an Operator must use an Aircraft Technical Log that has been approved by the Competent Authority when operating an aircraft for Commercial Air Transport use.

Both the EASA and applicable EU-OPS Requirements will be satisfied.

The Aircraft Technical Log is a legal document which is used for:-

o Recording details of ALL maintenance carried out on the particular aircraft between scheduled Base Maintenance visits.

o Recording Maintenance Data and Operating information relevant to Flight Safety for the notice of

the operating crew.

Entries in the Aircraft Technical Log form a permanent part of the Aircraft Records and any irregularities may invalidate the legality of such records.

Only Authorised Personnel may make entries in the Aircraft Technical Log.

AIRCRAFT TECHNICAL LOG ENTRIES

Technical Log Entries shall be:-

• Accurate and as concise and as legible as possible.

• Written using a black/blue ballpoint pen such that the information is transferred to the bottom copy.

AIRCRAFT TECHNICAL LOG ERROR HANDLING

Any errors in the documentation will be handled in the following way:-

• Errors with Text Fields should have a line drawn through the error and initialled. The fields should not be obliterated.

• Errors with Check Boxes should be circled and the correct Check Box marked as

required.

FINAL CERTIFICATE OF RELEASE TO SERVICE

Part M (M.A 306) requires the current Final Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) for the last Scheduled Maintenance Inspection (SMI) to be contained in the Aircraft Technical Log. MOE Chapter 2.16 outlines the CRS procedures to be followed in respect to the TUI Airways Part 145 Organisation. Line Maintenance workpackages are released by a workorder entry. The entry must make reference to the workpackage reference and also quote the aircraft hours and cycles. As long as all taskcards in the workpackage requiring the qualification CAT B2 are signed by appropriate qualified certifying staff, the release to service of the workpackage on the workorder shall be given by a CAT B1 only.

A Single Signatory Final CRS will normally be issued following Hangar Scheduled Base Maintenance. A Base Maintenance Certifying Engineer (BMCE), qualified to Part-66 Category ‘C’ approval will certify and a copy will be placed in the Technical Log.

DEFERRED DEFECT / AIRCRAFT STATUS SHEET

The Deferred Defect / Aircraft Status Sheet is used to provide a record of those Work Orders that have been transferred (deferred) in accordance with the Minimum Equipment List (MEL), Configuration Deviation List (CDL) or other authorizing document. It identifies the Deferral Authority used and details any operational Downgrade which may apply.

Entries in the white blocks are made when a Work Order is initially transferred. Entries in the yellow blocks are made when a Work Order is subsequently closed.

Note 1 When a Sheet is complete, it is to be sent to Aerdata.

Note 2 A periodic cleanup (consolidation) of open entries in the status sheets will be carried out by Line Maintenance to ensure a minimum number of sheets are retained in the log at any time.

- Enter the recording instructions (carried out by the flight crew)

The Flight Request will be issued by Maintrol / Engineering and placed in the Technical Log.

The Pilots will then carry out the request at next opportunity and respond as per the recording instruction. This will normally be through raising a Work order at the end of the flight sector.

HIGH FREQUENCY REPEAT INSPECTIONS

Occasionally Repeat Inspections may be required with a frequency that:-

• May not coincide with planned Scheduled Inspection. • Is specific to a limited number of aircraft in the fleet.

Such Repeat Inspections would likely be generated for transferred (deferred) defects.

Control Process

When a requirement for a Repeat Inspection occurs a Work Order will be generated by Maintenance, detailing the problem and all inspection / termination requirements. It must clearly stipulate all the inspection constraints and termination requirements within the Action Taken Block on the Work Order.

• Line Engineers should inform TUI Maintrol as soon as the requirement

is identified, and before aircraft is released to service. • Hangar Engineers should inform short term planning as soon as the requirement

is identified and before aircraft is released to service.

The Work Order will then be transferred with a due date no later than the OCM termination date but clearly state the internal. In addition to the Transferal, an Aircraft Status Sheet will also be raised when:

• The Repeat Inspection falls with 7 days (Hangar Check) OR • Is triggered by the Line Engineers.

Upon entry into AMOS, this Repeat Inspection requirement will be noted and the Production Engineering Department will convert it to a TRACE, it can then be monitored for compliance through AMOS.

The Production Engineering Department will then issue instruction to Maintrol to close down the Transferred Work Order and Aircraft Status Sheet with reference to the amended control process now in place.

Sign-off Process

When a repeat inspection is carried out, it will be certified using a new Work Order from the Aircraft Technical Log (if the work was performed between scheduled maintenance) or an AMOS generated Work Order if the work was completed during Scheduled Maintenance). This Work Order will then be closed with reference back to the originating TRACE / Single Running Task Card.

Once the Task has been carried out, Central Data Entry (CDE) Team will report back its compliance within the AMOS system so that AMOS re-forecasts correctly.

SPECIAL CERTIFICATION SCENARIOS

AUTOLAND DOWNGRADES

If a defect arises that affects the Autoland System, the defect may require multiple resources and skills to resolve it. Following initial investigation, any corrective action may involve multiple function checks and will always need to be verified by an Autoland System Test.

This Autoland System Test must be carried out by an appropriately authorised Engineer.

If the defect Investigation / Rectification / Function Tests and subsequent Autoland System Testing / Re-certification cannot be achieved prior to next flight, a separate work order needs to be generated and transferred for each of the outstanding requirements.

Example

Work Order 1 - Investigate / Repair / Function Test the faulty component. Work Order 2 - Test / Re-certify the Autoland System.

In above example, both Work Orders would be transferred in accordance with the same MEL limitations and both must be resolved before the aircraft is re-certified to full Autoland capability.

PILOT DEFERRALS

If the pilot is required to transfer (defer) a defect down-route, or at an unmanned Maintenance Base, the following process will apply:

1. The Pilot raises the defect Work Order and defect description as per normal Procedure #. 2. The Pilot will write in the Action taken block “Defect transferred to the Aircraft Status Sheet in

ac cordance with the MEL”, and then he will sign and date it just below this text. 3. The Pilot will complete the Transfer Section of the Work Order with deferral details, time limits

etc, but DOES NOT sign the CRS block. 4. The Pilot will raise the next available Aircraft Status Sheet Record and copy the Work Order

Transfer block information into it.

A GUIDE TO TUI AIRWAYS TECHNICAL LOG

5. The Pilot will remove and hand the middle (yellow) copy of the Work Order to the Handling Agent along with the middle (yellow) copy of the Flight Log.

6. The Pilot will inform Maintrol of these actions as soon as possible so that Maintrol are aware of the Aircraft Status.

At the next visit to the aircraft by a TUI Authorised Engineer:

1. The Authorised Engineer will review Aircraft Technical Log Status Sheets and Work Orders. 2. For any Pilot transferred Work Orders, the appropriately Authorised Engineer will verify that all

required fields are completed correctly (including ATA references, downgrade information, due dates etc.) on both the originating Work Order and the Aircraft Status Sheet.

3. The Authorised Engineer will then remove the following sheets and will either update AMOS, or pass them to CDE for entry.

4. The Authorised Engineer will email / route to AERDATA for uploading into STREAM and for records storage:

a. The top (white) copy of the originating Work Order b. The top (white) copies of any used Flight Log Sheets.

DENT & BUCKLE CHART

Each Aircraft Technical Log Contains a set of Dent and Buckle Charts and Damage Summary Sheets. The purpose of these charts is to maintain a record of all allowable damage (dents, buckles, scores etc) until they are rectified by component replacement or permanent repair.

The charts are designed to show:-

• Upper and lower surfaces – Stabilizer and Wings.

• Winglets (As Applicable)

• Left and Right sides – Fuselage.

• Engine fan blade layout.

• Left and Right Engine Nacelles

• Flight deck windscreens.

• RVSM Pitot & Static ports inspection area.

• High damage areas

o Cargo Doors o Aft Fuselage

Dent & Buckle (D&B) Procedure

Each Pre-flight Inspection will include a visual check for skin damage. All new damage found is to be assessed prior to aircraft departure using the Structural Repair Manual (SRM) and/or the Engine Maintenance Manual.

All allowable damage is to marked IAW the Dent and Buckle Chart page 1, then certified by an appropriately authorised Engineer.

The Certifying Engineer must also record the damage information on:

• The next available Work Order – this being the official Maintenance Release Certification.

• The appropriate Dent and Buckle Chart – this is for Pilot/Engineer awareness

and verification that the damage has been assessed as allowable by the designated Certifying Engineer.

• The Damage Summary Sheet – this provides Pilots/Engineers with more detailed

summary to verify it is that actual damage being viewed. It also logs originating Work Order and the identification of the Certifying Engineer.

• A separate Damage Assessment form (ENG/1037). This details exact

damage details and structural location in a consistent format.

The completed Form ENG/1037 is to be forwarded (Fax or Email) with the White copy of Tech Log Work Order to Central Data Entry Team at Luton where, upon receipt, the information will be loaded directly into AMOS, and form part of the aircrafts electronic records.

Note: Form ENG/1037 is available from Maintrol or the TUI Engineering Network. This Form includes check boxes to log any damage in a consistent format for inclusion into the A/C records.

Note: Mechanics with Write Access to AMOS can load the data directly into the Structural Damage tab in the View/Edit Workorder screen (APN 2) instead of raising an ENG/1037.

Special Note: REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM) CRITICAL AREAS

When visual inspections are being carried out, particular attention is required around the Pitot Probes, Static Ports and Angle of Attack vanes as these are classed as critical areas for Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM).

ALL damage in RVSM Areas, even if within SRM limits, must be reported to Maintrol.

All damage will be re-appraised during major maintenance for permanent repair. A new Dent and Buckle chart will be issued at the end of the major check.

RECORDING OF ALLOWABLE DAMAGE

When recording allowable damage the emphasis should be on accuracy and detail as this forms part of the aircraft damage records.

Work Order / ATA / Issue Date Provides clear reference to the originating event where the damage was found.

References / Type What manuals / documentation was used to permit the damage

Damage Type / Nature Type Damage Types incl Dent, Delamination, score Nature Types Incl Impact Damage, Leak, Spill, Environmental

Location Station, Frame, Stringer Locations

Dimension Refer to the relevant Structural Repair Manuals for details on Diameter, length, width, depth for the damage type. The SRM limits should be recorded.

Notes Any Re-Inspect requirements

Entry Date Incl Stamp of person entering the damage

Fuel Uplift Calculation Block

Row 1 is for Normal (initial) Refuel readings. Row 2 is for the Adjustment Refuel readings.

To convert fuel from kilograms to Litres:

Uplift in LITRES = Uplift in KG / SPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG) OF FUEL

To convert fuel from kilograms to US gallons:

Uplift in US GALLONS = Uplift in KG / 3

Example for calculating Uplift

Total Prefuel = 8,000kg

Total Uplift = 10,200kg

Total fuel on board = 18,200kg

Uplift in LITRES = Uplift in KG / SPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG) OF FUEL

= 10,200 / 0.8

= 12,750 Litres

Note: Use actual fuel SG provided by the Fuel Tanker driver.

Uplift in US Gallons = 10,200 / 3

= 3,400 US Gallons

Special Note Re NEF (Non-Essential Equipment & Furnishings) Deferrals

Non-Essential Equipment & Furnishings include Non-Airworthiness items & installations that have no effect on the aircrafts airworthiness or its ability to operate safely under all operational conditions.

Such Items may include, but are not limited to cosmetic trim, exterior paint, non-mandatory decals / placards that are serviceable but show evidence of being worn / soiled.

Their installations will include, but are not limited to,

• The passenger cabin • Flight deck • Service bays • Electronic equipment centres • Crew rest areas • Toilets • Galley

NEF items are mentioned in the MEL under MEL (B737-800 25-10, B757 / B767 25-20-1, B787 25-00-01) but due to their nature cannot be referenced directly and no MEL repair interval is defined. Instead, such items may be given dispatch relief with reference to the TUI NEF Policy and its supporting Procedure LIN002a.

• NEF Items can initially be deferred with a repair interval of 30 days. • If the defect cannot be rectified for operational based reasons, the Maintrol

Defect Co-ordinator can authorise extension of the repair interval for a period up to, but not exceeding 90 days (120 days total)

• Subsequent extensions can only be authorised by Airworthiness by submission of an AMOS Tech Assist in accordance with GEN 1010 - Rectification Interval Extension (RIE) procedure.
