Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the production of aviation products as well as parts and appliances. The focus is not only on the production or assembly of the actual aircraft. The activities of suppliers are discussed for the components and module production as well.

Assembly lines are, however, usually only used for larger numbers of items as well as for complex components and modules.
 
15
see EN 9100: 2016 Chap. 8.5.1.2
 
16
Simple work, for example, (e.g. assembly of a plate) can be performed by a less qualified employee, while only the final examination is made by a trained technician or certifying staff.
 
17
This makes in particular sense for parts/products, whose (return) transport would be complicated in case of complaints.
 
18
Its elements and methods are outlined in the EN 9102 “First article inspection”.
 
19
It is not permissible to use prototypes for the FAI! A qualification or a red label unit must be used instead.
 
20
Delivery by suppliers is mostly effected with a CoC only and not with an EASA form 1.
 
21
Similar to IR Initial Airworthiness Part 21-21A.127 (b).
 
22
(Short and medium range) Aircraft with one aisle only (single-aisle aircraft), e.g. of the Airbus A320 family, Boeing B737, Embraer or Bombardier aircraft are referred to as narrow bodies.
 
23
(Long range) aircraft with two aisles such as Airbus A330, A340, A350, A380 as well as Boeing B767, B777, B787, B747 are referred to as wide bodies. On the VIP market, in particular B747 and A330 are highly popular.
 
24
A bath tub, for instance, cannot be certified, as water could impair the aircraft and cause system damage in case of turbulences. For the customer, visible and noticeable approval restrictions often also result from certification specifications with regard to fire protection and passenger evacuation.
 
25
See Sect.​ 4.​6.​2, the part design for VIP aircraft differs only in nuances from the procedures outlined in Sect.​ 4.​10
 
26
If the cabin installation is not carried out by the aircraft manufacturer, i. e. the aircraft has already been delivered or approved for operation, it is required for installation and changes to the structure and systems to create maintenance job cards (EASA Part 145). In contrast, production job cards (EASA Part 21/G) should be used for manufacturing of interior components. This distinction between production and maintenance is important, however, less for practical reasons, than for documentation requirements according to aviation legislation.
 
27
Marginal changes may also be accomplished by production staff without directly consulting engineering. On basis of a redline procedure adjustments are directly integrated into the drawings and noted in a separate redlining overview by authorised staff. The responsible 21J engineer has to assess and integrate those changes into the official design revision documentation at the latest before final completion of the component (release). This guarantees that the component complies with the actual design after release.
