Revision HistoryIssue 2, Amendment 1 16 September 2005

Amendment 1 has been published to update CAP 562 in line with recent changes brought about by the implementation of the European Aviation Safety Agency. The following new Leaflets are published: Leaflet 1-10 is a new Leaflet and should be read in its entirety. Leaflets 9-6, 9-7, 9-8, 9-9, 9-10, 9-11, 9-12 and 9-13 (previously published as Airworthiness Information Leaflets (AILs)). Leaflet 11-2; Leaflet 11-22 Appendices 4-4, 10-1, 24-6 and 31-2; Leaflet 11-27 and Leaflet 11-28 (previously published as Airworthiness Notices). Leaflet Nos. 1-9, 3-4, 11-5, 11-14, 14-1, 14-2, 14-3, 14-4, 14-6, 14-7, 14-10 and 14-13 have been cancelled. Editorial changes and amendments convenient to be included at this time have also been incorporated. Issue 2, Amendment 2 31 August 2006

As part of a steady programme to rationalise CAA technical publications, it is intended to have only one publication for all of CAA's advisory material and the CAAIP has been chosen as the vehicle for this as it is web based and easily amended. As a key part of this rationalisation process, all Aeronautical Information Leaflets (AILs) that were considered still to contain relevant information have been transferred into CAP 562. All others have now been withdrawn and are no longer available. It should be noted that not all of the transferred AILs have been technically revised but it is planned that they will be in the near future. Leaflets that have been technically revised or updated are marked with an asterisk and should be read in their entirety. The following new Leaflets are published: Leaflets 1-11 and 4-10 are new Leaflets and should be read in their entirety. Leaflets 11-1, 11-18, 11-29, 11-30, 11-31, 11-32, 11-33, 11-34, 11-35, 11-36*, 11-37, 11-38*, 11-39, 11-40, 11-41, 11-42, 11-43 and 11-44* (previously published as Airworthiness Information Leaflets (AILs)). Leaflets 1-6*, 11-21 and 11-22 Appendices 12-4, 25-5, 27-4 (previously published as Airworthiness Notices). Editorial changes, corrections and amendments convenient to be included at this time have also been incorporated. Issue 2, Amendment 3 The following new Leaflets are published: Leaflet 1-9 and its Appendix is a new Leaflet and should be read in its entirety. Leaflets 1-12, 6-10, 6-11, 9-14 and its Appendix, 11-3 and 11-45 (previously published as Airworthiness Notices). 21 March 2007

IntroductionCivil Aircraft Airworthiness Information and Procedures (CAAIP), hereinafter referred to as the Leaflets are published by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The Leaflets give information on a variety of matters concerned with civil aircraft during manufacture, overhaul, repair, maintenance, operation and procedures. Leaflets may assist and increase the knowledge of the reader on subjects for which there is a shortage of information from other sources. The information is essentially of a general nature which does not include detail on specific types of aircraft and engines, specialised equipment and component parts fitted to civil aircraft. Manuals, published by the appropriate manufacturers, should be consulted for detailed information. The interpretation of the Leaflets and the application of the information is greatly dependent on the background knowledge of the reader. In preparing the Leaflets it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the general engineering practices and working procedures of the civil aircraft industry. Nevertheless, a certain amount of background information is provided where this is considered necessary for the understanding of the text. Words purporting the masculine gender include the feminine.

Editorial PresentationThe Leaflets are presented as numbered Leaflets contained in 15 separate Parts. A list of all the Leaflets is given in the Contents. A system of progressive paragraph numbering is used, the number of digits being kept to a maximum of three by associating the system with paragraph headings. A paragraph heading applies to all succeeding paragraphs until another titled paragraph with the same, or a smaller number of digits occurs.

AmendmentsLeaflets are reviewed periodically to ensure that the information contained in them remains valid. Each page is identified by the date of issue or date at which it is amended. Material differences from the previous issue are marked with marginal lines. Where text has over-flowed, the affected pages are identified by the date of reissue. The remaining pages of each leaflet retain their existing dates and are therefore not re-supplied. Information giving details of a particular amendment can be found in the Revision History.

IntroductionThe purpose of this Leaflet is to provide guidance and advice on the legislation and requirements applying to the airworthiness of civil aircraft, particularly where these matters affect Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and Approved Maintenance Organisations. The current situation has changed with the establishment of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the introduction of European Regulations. The following table summarizes the UK National System and the new European systems.United Kingdom UK Parliament Civil Aviation Act Civil Aviation Authority European Community European Parliament Council Regulation 1592/2002 European Aviation Safety Agency Annex I Essential Requirement Annex II Excluded Aircraft Council Regulation 1643/2003 Council Regulation 1701/2003 European Commission Commission Regulation 1702/2003 Part 21 Commission Regulation 2042/2003 Annex I Part M Annex II Part 145 Annex III Part 66 Annex IV Part 147 European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification Specification CS 23, CS 25, CS 27 AMC, GM, etc. ,

The International Civil Aviation OrganisationAs a result of the International Civil Aviation Conference which took place in Chicago in 1944, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) was set up in Montreal Canada, on 4 April 1947 by the international contracting states of which the United Kingdom was, and remains, a participating member. One of the primary objectives of the Chicago Convention was to promote and develop the principles and techniques of international air navigation and air transport technical standards and recommended practices.

33.1

Civil Aviation Act 1982The Civil Aviation Act 1982, which consolidated many earlier enactments, is now the principal Act of Parliament which regulates civil aviation activities in the United Kingdom. Section 3 of the Act specifies the functions of the CAA, which include: a) those functions conferred on it (by the Civil Aviation Act) with respect to: i) the licensing of air transport; ii) the licensing of the provision of accommodation in aircraft; iii) the provision of air navigation services; iv) the operation of aerodromes and the provision of assistance and information. b) those functions conferred on it by, or under, the Air Navigation Order with respect to: i) the registration of aircraft; ii) the safety of air navigation and aircraft (including airworthiness); iii) the control of air traffic; iv) the certification of operators of aircraft; v) the licensing of air crews and aerodromes.

3.2

3.3

To give effect to UK membership of ICAO, Section 60(2) of the Act states that: 'An Air Navigation Order may contain such provision as appears to Her Majesty in Council to be requisite or expedient: a) for carrying out the Chicago Convention, any Annex thereto relating to international standards and recommended practices (being an Annex adopted in accordance with the Convention) and any amendment of the Convention or any such Annex made in accordance with the Convention; or b) generally for regulating air navigation.'

44.1

The Air Navigation Order 2005The ANO is the principal Statutory Instrument regulating air navigation. The ANO Section 1 comprises Parts (which are further divided into Articles) and 15 Schedules: PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 PART 5 PART 6 PART 7 PART 8 PART 9 PART 10 Registration and Marking of Aircraft Air Operators Certificates Airworthiness and Equipment of Aircraft Aircraft Crew and Licensing Operation of Aircraft Fatigue of Crew and Protection of Crew from Cosmic Radiation Documents and Records Movement of Aircraft Air Traffic Services Licensing of Air Traffic Controllers

4.3

Although the ANO establishes in law the basis for the regulation of civil aviation, it does not provide the specific details of what is to be achieved, e.g. technical requirements. This information including the administration procedures is contained in such publications as British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR), EASA Certification Specifications see paragraphs 6 and 7. For example, Article 23(1) of the ANO 2005 (as amended) prescribes that: 'Every flying machine and glider in respect of which a Certificate of Airworthiness issued or rendered valid under this Order is in force shall be weighed, and the position of its centre-of-gravity determined, at such times and in such manner as the CAA may require or approve in the case of that aircraft.' The fulfilment of this provision is provided for in BCAR Section A for aircraft manufactured in the United Kingdom, Chapters A54 Weight and Balance of Aircraft and A710 Weight and Balance Report and for aircraft manufactured outside the United Kingdom, Chapters B54 Weight and Balance of Aircraft and B710 Weight and Balance Report.

4.4

The above illustrates, in basic terms, the system of airworthiness control which is accomplished in conjunction with Approved Organisations and Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers. NOTE: The ANO is frequently subject to amendment, therefore the current status of the ANO should always be checked prior to use.

55.1 5.2

The Civil Aviation Authority Safety Regulation GroupThe CAA was set up in 1972 to bring together the regulation of civil aviation within one body. One of the primary responsibilities bestowed upon the CAA by the Civil Aviation Act and the Air Navigation Order, is the certification and approval of those aircraft and their constituent parts which are not covered by Regulation (EC) 1592/2002. This function is carried out by the Safety Regulation Group (SRG) based in Aviation House, Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR. SRG comprises the following Divisions: Airworthiness Division - Aircraft Certification Department, Applications and Approvals Department, Engineering Department, Flight Department, Policy and Standards Department and Survey Department. Flight Operations Division - Flight Operations Inspectorate Department and Flight Operations Policy Department.

5.3

Licensing Standards Division Aerodrome Standards Department, Air Traffic Standards Department, Personnel Licensing Department, Safety Investigation and Data Department and Medical Department. 5.4 SRG also prescribes airworthiness procedures based on the current legislation, approves all organisations which fall outside Regulation (EC) 1592/2002 (see BCAR Section A, Sub-Section A8 ) and Maintenance and Production Organisations which fall within 1592/2002, and issues licences to Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (subject to examination), to whom privileges are given to certify work done and issue maintenance certificates on specified types of aircraft, engines and systems.

European Aviation Safety AgencyAll aircraft and their constituent parts covered by Regulation (EC) 1592/2002 are subject to the implementing rules of the European Commission and the certification specifications of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These requirements were developed from the Joint Aviation Authorities regulations and address the same subjects. All aircraft are covered by 1592/2002, except for those: a) excluded from the EASA scope by Article 1 of 1592/2002, which comprises those engaged in military, customs, police or similar services; or, b) excluded by Annex II of 1592/2002, which largely comprises historical aircraft which are also few in number, experimental aircraft, homebuilt aircraft, microlight aircraft, gliders of a very light weight and very light unmanned aircraft. For the complete definition see Appendix A; or, c) those for which an EASA Type Certification basis has not been established up until 28 March 2007; or, d) those to which any derogation to national regulations applies under European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003 the Certification Regulation; or, e) 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.NOTE: The list of aircraft of historical relevance and research aircraft that are not regulated by EASA through being excluded under Annex II paragraphs a) and b) to EC Regulation 1592/2002 is available on the CAA web site under Safety and EASA.

British Civil Airworthiness RequirementsBCAR comprise minimum technical requirements, and administrative procedures, that form the basis for: the manufacture of aircraft; the approval of equipment; the approval of design, manufacturing and maintenance organisations; the approval of personnel; certification and continued airworthiness procedures. BCAR set out, within the framework of current aeronautical knowledge, mandatory, imperative, and permissive objectives to allow those concerned with the design, manufacture and maintenance of aircraft, to show possible alternative methods of compliance with the BCAR which would offer equivalent airworthiness.

7.2

BCAR are sub-divided as follows: Section A Section B Section L Section Q Section R Section S Section T Airworthiness Procedures Where the CAA Has Primary Responsibility for Type Approval of the Product (CAP 553) Airworthiness Procedures Where the CAA Does Not Have Primary Responsibility for Type Approval of the Product (CAP 554) Licensing (CAP 468) Non Rigid Airships (CAP 471) Radio (CAP 472) Small Light Aeroplanes (CAP 482) Light Gyroplanes (CAP 643)

Section VLH Very Light Helicopters (CAP 750) BCAR 31 7.3 7.4 Manned Free Balloons (CAP 494)

BCAR Sections (e.g. A, B, S and T) are amended by the issue of loose leaf amendments, applicable to that particular section. Those Sections of BCAR which deal with design and testing of aircraft, comprise the minimum requirements which must be achieved to certificate an aircraft as airworthy against a background of up-to-date aeronautical knowledge. BCAR also incorporates the standards laid down by ICAO which must be satisfied for an aircraft to operate internationally.NOTE: Further details regarding the equipment required for international operation of aircraft are contained in the ANO 2005 Schedules 4 and 5.

7.5

In some cases, there is a general approach to a specific requirement. An example of this is to be found in the various chapters of Sub-section A8 of Section A which prescribes the Requirements for the approval of organisations. Within these chapters there is a Requirement that 'Bonded and Quarantine stores shall be provided'. However, the general Requirement includes more than a storage room. Consideration would need to be given to providing suitable racks and bins, record systems, and methods of stock segregation and identification. It would also include other factors such as temperature and humidity control of the stores, all of which can only be decided according to the particular circumstances, but see CAAIP Leaflet 18.

88.1

Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR)JAR is a common airworthiness code accepted by a number of European Aviation Authorities, including the CAA whose purpose is to prevent the proliferation of differing airworthiness codes within Europe. In 1979 an arrangements document was signed in Paris by ten states, which later increased to 27 States. This document committed the Participating Authorities to maintain JAR, and set out the ground rules for acceptance by signatory states of products complying with JAR, and established the Joint Aviation Authorities. Twenty three JAR codes have previously been accepted by CAA as forming part of BCARs, although a number of those are now superseded by their equivalent EASA regulations. Amendments For JAR, proposed amendments and additions to the Requirements are issued as Notices of Proposed Amendments (NPAs) and are considered according to agreed European procedures. The wording adopted by the JAA committee is then issued as an Amendment, and constitutes part of the Requirements with effect from the date of publication.

CAA PublicationsThe CAA produces various publications which provide information on technical and administrative matters concerning airworthiness, together with notification of mandatory requirements. Airworthiness Notice No. 6 gives general information, publication dates and latest issue numbers of all CAA publications. A summary of the publications pertinent to this Leaflet is given below. Mandatory Requirements for Airworthiness (CAP 747) CAP 747 brings together in one publication, all of those requirements which CAA has notified under Regulation 1592/2002 Article 10, for the convenience of those persons responsible for aircraft and products covered by 1592/2002 and its implementing rules: for certification - European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003; and for continuing airworthiness 2042/2003. CAP 747 brings together: a) a small number of UK CAA Mandatory Airworthiness Notices, previously published in CAP 455 Airworthiness Notices and; b) a number of CAA additional requirements and special conditions previously published in CAP 480 Additional Requirements and Special Conditions and; c) a number of CAA additional airworthiness directives, previously published in CAP 473 Foreign Airworthiness Directives Volumes I and II, (CAA Additional Airworthiness Directives applicable to products and equipment of USA design) and; d) a number of CAA additional airworthiness directives, previously published in CAP 474 Foreign Airworthiness Directives Volume III, (CAA Additional Airworthiness Directives applicable to products and equipment of non-USA design).
