Abstract

This chapter outlines basic shop floor requirements that are applicable to production and maintenance, primarily focusing on preparatory activities, i. e. on requirements that must be met from a legal and regulatory or economic perspective to be able to commence production activities in the first place. This in particular, comprises basics of production and maintenance planning presented in the first subsection, as well as the supply of job cards that are detailed in Sect. 6.2.

See IR Continuing Airworthiness Part 145 – 145A.45 (e)
 
3
Similar to AMC M.A.401(c)
 
4
Production is an exception, if no final official certification, i. e. TC or STC (e.g., prototype or individual manufacturing) is available. In this case, however, design data must be used, which were not officially released, but at least by the responsible Part 21 J design organisation.
 
5
A reference to the associated section (task) of the maintenance programme or the associated inspection task code is to be created on maintenance job cards as far as applicable. See Fig. 6.1 “MRB no: 36-1A”
 
6
During maintenance, it should also be noted that maintenance instructions provided by the customer, must also be used. The maintenance organisation is therefore not entitled to use other than the data provided by the customer. See 145A.45 (e) and (f).
 
7
See AMC 145.A.45 (f).
 
8
If only one person is available for assigning the task (e.g. on outstations), work planning must ensure that the job card requires a second inspection of this task by the same staff member after final work completion. See 145.A.65 (B) (3).
 
9
See R Continuing Airworthiness Part 145 – 145A.45 (e); IR Initial Airworthiness Part 21G – 21.139 (b)
 
10
When using initials, a reference list must be available, so initials can be assigned to the appropriate employee.
 
11
The requirement for controlling technical documentation in production stems from IR Initial Airworthiness Part 21 – 21A.165 (c) and (d) as well as from the IR Continuing Airworthiness Part 145–145.A.45 for maintenance. In the context of the EN 9100 series, document management is detailed in Sect.​ 7.​5.
 
12
See IR Continuing Airworthiness EASA Part 145–145.A.45 (B) 4 as well as AMC 145.A.45 (b) 2–4.
 
13
Following EN 9100 series Sect.​ 7.​5.
 
14
If an operator or a customer provides maintenance data, they must either supply a written confirmation that all maintenance data are up to date or the operator/customer has to inform the maintenance organisation about the applicable revision status. Similar: IR Continuing Airworthiness EASA Part 145–145A.45 (g).

See IR Continuing Airworthiness EASA Part 145–145.A.25 and 145.A.40 for maintenance as well as IR Certification 21A.126 and 21A.145 for production organisations. See furthermore EN 9100 series (2016) Sect. 7.1.3.
 
20
Facilities must, among other things, be designed in a way that maintenance staff has access to a separate area, where instructions and data can be studied and work execution can be certified, see AMC 145.A.25 (a).
 
21
See IR Continuing Airworthiness EASA Part 145–145.A.25 and GM to 21A.145 (a).
 
22
See IR Continuing Airworthiness EASA Part 145–145.A.25 (c) and GM to 21A.145 (a) the legal standards of the EASA Part 145 are more comprehensive and thus more detailed as those of Part 21/G. Therefore the maintenance regulations including AMC are suited as guideline for production organisations on an operational description level.
 
23
Especially in line maintenance the working environment is sometimes not optimal. In case of unacceptable work conditions regarding weather, lighting, dust, other pollution, etc., the respective maintenance or inspection work is to be suspended, until acceptable conditions are guaranteed again., IR Continuing Airworthiness Part 145–145.A.25 (c) (6).
 
24
See IR Continuing Airworthiness Part 145–145.A.40 (c) for maintenance as well as GM to 21A.145 (a) and GM No. 2 to 21A.126 (a) (3) as well as EN 9100:2016 Sect. 8.5.1 and 8.5.1.1.
 
25
See EN 9100 Sect. 7.1.5. Examinations and calibrations can usually also be based on the standards of the equipment manufacturer as specified in the respective manual .
 
26
Alternatively used are the following terms: Certificate of release, airworthiness approval tag, see IR Certification Part 21-21A.163 and IR Continuing Airworthiness Part 145–145.A.50 (d).

See IR Continuing Airworthiness Part 145-145.A.50 in conn. with 145.A.70 and 145.A.45 for maintenance as well as IR Certification Part 21-21A.165 (c) (1) for production
 
29
See IR Initial Airworthiness Part 21 – 21A.174 for details on application process for certificate of airworthiness

The fact that a production organisation can also maintain ex-factory aircraft, is not portrayed in detail here, see IR Continuing Airworthiness Part 145 – 21A.163 (d).

AMC 145.A.50 (b).
 
32
First production is a special case (e.g. prototypes or individual manufacture), as the aircraft is produced or modified, without a TC or a STC. In this case the installed parts are in non-approved status (non-approved data). Accordingly a reference to the non-approved character of the parts must be made on the release certificate in the field 13. Only after issuing the TCs or STCs these parts then automatically change to an approved status.
 
33
Detailed EASA form 1 filling references can be found in Annex II to the Implementing Continuing Airworthiness – Part 145.
 
34
Standard components or parts must at all times comply with a generally accepted standard (e.g., ISO, EN)
