CHAPTER 0

GENERAL

HB.00.00 General

This Airworthiness Inspector handbook outlines the obligation of the Inspectors of THESTATE on matters related to Airworthiness and helps in the application of the Civil AviationRegulation (CAR) of the STATE.It provides detailed guidance on the management of documents referred in CAR XX, andpresents the establishment and operation of an airworthiness organisation with the CAA inrespect of Part XXX.The following paragraph details the procedures it covers.

This Handbook is based on the ICAO Annexes 6 and 8, the Airworthiness Manual 9760, and

is developed in respect of EU/EASA Parts 21 and 145.

HB.00.01 Applicability

This Manual provides detailed instructions for the use by the inspectors of the followingprocedures:

a) The validation of a Type Certificate,

o) Inspect aircraftp) Issue aircraft condition notice,q) Evaluate operators maintenance recording system,r) Evaluate operators inspection and maintenance programme,s) Issue process Defect report,t) Issue process malfunction or defect report,u) Review operators mechanical interruption summary report,v) Inspect operators main base,w) Inspect avionics test equipment,x) Inspect General Aviation maintenance records,y) Monitor continuous airworthiness maintenancez) Monitor continuing analysis and surveillance,aa) Monitor approved reliability programme.

.

f) Approvals of a maintenance programme,g) Approvals of an operators maintenance system,h) Approvals of Maintenance Management Exposition,i) Approval of a Maintenance Organisation,j) Evaluate short term escalation procedure,k) Evaluate foreign registered aircraft operated in THE STATE,l) Approve parts / pool parts / parts borrowing,m)n) Evaluate operators maintenance programme,

approve prorogation of time authorisations,


10/153



HB.00.02 Training and accreditation of inspecting staff

HB.00.02.01 General

All Inspectors must be suitably trained, qualified and experienced for their role. No hardand fast rules on qualification can be made because the particular circumstances ofeach Authority and each operator will differ. It is, nevertheless, most important that inevery instance, an Inspector should, by background and experience, command theprofessional respect of the operator's senior personnel.Senior personnel, in this context, includes those who are responsible for establishingthe company's operating procedures and standards including training managers. Itfollows that Flight Inspectors will normally have:- current experience on Regulations.- recent, experience as a personnel involved in the maintenance of a commercialaircraft or of a private, corporate or aerial work aircraft which is comparable to thatflown by the operators.

HB.00.02.02 Training of Inspectors

(1) The Authority must devise, publish and keep under review a syllabus of trainingfor Inspectors.

(2) All Inspectors must, before appointment, successfully complete the requiredtraining programme.

(3) The Authority must retain a record of all training undertaken by Inspectorstogether with a record of an Inspector's previous experience which qualifies himfor appointment.

(4) The training syllabus for Inspectors should include, as appropriate to their role,instruction in the following:

(a) Those national requirements which are relevant to their inspection duties;

(b) iThe relevant Annexes to the Chicago Convention and the ICAO Manual ofProcedures for Operations, Inspection, Certification, Continued Airworthinessand continued Surveillance referred in this Handbook;

(c) iThe Chicago Convention;

(d) Annexes 8 of ICAO Document,

(e) ANRs of the Aviation Authority of THE STATE

(f) the relevant Handbook.

HB.00.02.03 Accreditation of Inspecting Staff

(1) Upon appointment, an Inspector will be issued with a pass or document whichshows the holder's recent photograph and which entitles him to national andinternational recognition of his powers. His rights of access, both ground side andairside to premises or aircraft which reasonably lie within his assignedresponsibility should, subject to essential security scrutiny, be accepted by all


11/153



authorities and associated airport personnel. The wording of the pass must be inEnglish and/or, in National language.

HB.00.03 Procedure for assessing the continued competence of an operator

Authorities must assess the operators and monitor the continued competence to conductsafe operations in compliance with the relevant CARs. The Authority must ensure thataccountability for assessing operators is clearly defined. This accountability may bedelegated or shared, in whole or in part.

Where more than one agency is involved, an individual Department Head must be appointedunder whose personal authority AOC holders are assessed. This individual may or may notbe the Department Head responsible for the issue of an AOC.

The responsibility for a safe operation has always been carried by the operator. Under the

provisions of CARs, a positive move is made towards devolving upon the operatingcompany a share of the responsibility for monitoring the quality of a safe service to thepublic. The HB .01 Objective cannot be attained unless Public Transport operators areprepared to accept, readily, the implications of this policy including that of committing thenecessary resources to its implementation. Crucial to success of the policy is the content ofANR which requires the establishment, by the AOC holder, of a Quality System involving adesignated Quality Manager and a nominated Accountable Manager.

The Authority must continue to assess the operator's compliance with all the requirements inCAR XXX including the effectiveness of the Quality System (and the Maintenance ApprovalStatement). If the Quality System, by being judged to have failed in its HB .01 Objectives,ceases to be "acceptable to the Authority", this is in itself a breach of the requirements which

may call into question the validity of the AOC.

HB.00.04 Continued airworthiness reporting of failures, malfunctions and defects

THE HOLDER OF A C OF A FOR A PRODUCT ISSUED IN TERMS OF THEREGULATIONS IN THIS PART, SHALL REPORT IN WRITING TO THE AUTHORITY ANYFAILURE, MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT IN ANY PRODUCT MANUFACTURED BY ITTHAT IT DETERMINES HAS RESULTED IN ANY OF THE OCCURRENCES LISTED INPARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS SECTION AND MIGHT LEAD TO SUSPECT AN UNSAFECONDITION EXITS ON THE PRODUCT:

Occurrences referred to in HB.01.03(1), which must be reported, are the following:

(a) Fires caused by a system or equipment failure, malfunction, or defect.

(b) An engine exhaust system failure, malfunction, or defect which causes damage tothe engine, adjacent aircraft structure, equipment or components.

(c) The accumulation or circulation of toxic or noxious gases in the crew compartmentor passenger cabin.

(d) A malfunction, failure or defect of a propeller control system.

(e) A propeller or rotorcraft hub or blade structural failure.


12/153



(f) Flammable fluid leakage in areas where an ignition source normally exists.

(g) A brake system failure caused by structural or material failure during operation.

(h) A significant aircraft primary structural defect or failure caused by any conditionsuch as fatigue, strength, corrosion, etc.

(i) Any abnormal vibration or buffeting caused by a structural or system malfunction,defect or failure.

(j) An engine failure.

(k) Any structural or flight control system malfunction, defect or failure which causesan interference with normal control of the aircraft.

(l) A complete loss of more than one electrical power generating system or hydraulic

power system during a given operation of the aircraft.

(m) A failure or malfunction of more than one attitude, airspeed or altitude instrumentduring a given operation of the aircraft.

HB.00.05 Continued Airworthiness - Issuing of airworthiness directives

When an unsafe condition exits on a product in relation with the failures, defects andmalfunctions of HB.01.03, the Airworthiness Division of the Authority of THE STATE mayissue appropriate airworthiness directives in respect of design changes which are necessaryto correct the unsafe condition of this product.

If the criticality of the service problem requires the promulgation of an Airworthiness Directive(AD), the CAA is responsible for making an assessment of the method of compliance and thetime interval in which compliance must be achieved.

The CAA will notify the Primary Certification Authority (PCA) of the manufacturer of in-serviceproblems in accordance with ICAO Annex 8. When urgency due to airworthinessconsiderations so requires, the CAA may act unilaterally on a temporary basis, keeping thePCA informed, but without committing them to acceptance. Exceptionally, the CAA maynegotiate an alternative compliance basis with an operator solely under his jurisdiction on acase by case basis.

Automatic adoption of the Airworthiness Directives issued by the PCA is recommended. In

case the CAA has to issue a national AD to cover a PCA AD, it should clearly states the PCAAD reference on which it is based and if there is any difference. In this latter case, thesedifferences must be clearly identified and justified. If there are no differences, the CAA ADmust credit previous compliance with the PCA AD as identical to compliance with the CAAAD.

When CAA considers it necessary to deviate from the PCA AD or to issue an additionalnational AD, it will only do so after consulting the PCA.

If the CAA considers it necessary to issue an emergency AD, an information has to beprovided immediately to the PCA and the approval holder. Further consultation will follow.

In all cases a written explanation must be provided by the CAA to the PAA and the approvalholder.


13/153



IN CASE A DISAGREEMENT REMAINS AFTER THIS CONSULTATION,

- for EASA products, parts and appliances, the CAA and the PCA will address theissue to EASA Certification Director for an opinion.

- For non-EASA products, parts, or appliances, the NAA will address the issue to therelevant EASA team or Lead Authority for advice and discussion with the PCA. If theCAA disagrees with the EASA team or Lead Authority position, the issue will besubmitted to EASA Certification Director for an opinion.

In rare cases EASA may recommend to CAAs to adopt an AD differing from the AD issuedby the PCA or to issue an additional AD. JAA will in this case follow a similar consultationprocess as described in paragraph 2.4, (EASA will use for this purpose the CAA s ADsdistribution systems). Records of such EU/EASA recommended ADs would be kept byCertification Director.

Format and content of Airworthiness Directives issued by a PCA

An AD must contain the following information:

- An identification number- the name of the issuing authority and the mention that it is the PCA for the affected

product, part or appliance- a precise identification of the affected products, parts or appliances- the reason why the AD is issued, explaining clearly the background and identifying

precisely why there is an unsafe condition if the AD is not applied.- A precise description of the corrective action- A compliance schedule- An effective date- A date of issue

See appendix 1 for a standardised JAA format and guidelines on the way to write ADs.

HB.00.06 Exemptions

The Authority may exempt any person from any requirement in this Part following theprocedures prescribed in CAR XXX.

CHAPTER 1

VALIDATION OF TYPE CERTIFICATES

HB.01.01 General

This procedure for the validation of a Type Certificate applies when the aircraft has neverbeen previously registered in THE STATE, and before the CAA of THE STATE issues theindividual Certificate of Airworthiness.

This chapter deals with the process necessary for a Type Certificate or STC Holder to obtainCertification / Validation of its Product or STC in THE STATE.The process to be conducted shall be in accordance with the relationship between the Stateof Design and the CAA of THE STATE.

The task of demonstrating compliance to the certification requirements of the THE STATE isthe responsibility of the Type Certificate or STC Holder. The task of agreeing that compliancehas been demonstrated in accordance with the wishes of THE STATE, is the responsibility ofthe Authority of THE STATE.

The HB.04.01 Objective of the CAA validation process is to enable the issue of a CAA TypeCertificate for an imported Product.

The HB.04.01 Objective of the finding of compliance process for the imported product is to besatisfied that the level of safety required by the applicable requirements is reached. Theprocess, which is based on mutual Authority trust is aimed at minimising duplication of workand by relying as much as possible on the findings of the Primary Certification Authority

(PCA) as long as the Team is satisfied that these findings are credible. Therefore, normallythe CAA Validation is based on the Type Certification made by the PCA to thoserequirements specified by the PCA, with the CAA investigation largely concentrated on thedifferences between the PCA and CAA Type Certification Basis.

HB.01.02 Eligibility

Any manufacturer of an aircraft holding for this product a TC (type certificate) issued by theCivil Aviation Authority of the Country of Design may apply for the validation by the CAA ofTHE STATE of the TC (type certificate) for this product.

HB.01.03 Duties of the CAA

The CAA has the responsibility for conducting the Validation of the Type certification andpost Type Certification processes for a product. It must perform its task in accordance withthe provisions of these JAA Certification/Validation Procedures.

When the CAA receives an application for the issuance of a TC, the CAA should send suchinformation to the Authority of Design, and to the manufacturer.This would assist the CAA in obtaining from the Primary Authority the appropriate Design

Standards (applicable airworthiness requirements for the design aspect), and could help the


15/153



CAA and the operator in case of Manuals and mandatory requirements being published in aforeign language.

When an application for the issuance of a TC is submitted to the CAA, and the applicablerequirements for Design aspects, manuals and ADs are issued in a foreign language (otherthan national, local or English) , it is the decision of the CAA to adopt its own politics for theissuance of a TC.

The assistance of another State CAA could be requested, dependant on the choice of theAuthority.

HB.01.04 Application for validation of the TC.

The CAA should accept an application for the validation of a TC for a product when:

(a) made by the manufacturer to the Authority of THE STATE; and

(b) accompanied by -

(i) the appropriate satisfactory evidence that the aircraft type satisfies theapplicable airworthiness requirements for the design aspect of such aircraft ;and

(ii) the issuance by the Primary Certification Authority (PCA) to the CAA of thistype design definition.

Procedure for determination of applicable requirements

The CAA Type Certification Basis of a new Type or a derivative product must be the TypeCertification basis of the product at its initial Type Certification by the PCA of themanufacturer.

The Team Leader of the CAA will notify to the Applicant within four weeks its NationalAdditional Operational Requirements having an impact on the design.

HB.01.05 Data requirements

An application from the manufacturer for the validation of a TC (type certificate) for aproduct shall provide the Authority with -

(a) proof that the type design has been approved by the Primary authority (of thecountry of design);

(b) details of the design aspects of the airworthiness requirements, including-

(i) the airworthiness design standards;

(ii) the effective date of such standards;

(iii) any special conditions;


16/153



(iv) any requirements not complied with and any compensating factors providingan equivalent level of safety; and

(v) any airworthiness limitations;

(c) a list identifying the data submitted for the issuing of the TC referred to inparagraph (a), showing compliance with the appropriate airworthinessrequirements,

(d) a copy of the flight manual approved by the Primary authority (of the country ofdesign);

(e) a list of the Airworthiness Directive issued by the authority of the country of designapplicable at the date of application for the validation of the TC;

(f) all other information the Authority might deem necessary.

HB.01.06 Validating the TC type certificate - The Validation Process

The validation process is in four phases that are outlined below. Certain technical disciplineson a validation team may be at different phases of the validation project depending on theprogress of their efforts.

Phase I - General Familiarisation

Following receipt of an application an initial general familiarisation meeting will normally beorganised after the application has been accepted and a Certification Manager has been

nominated. In this meeting the time schedule will be established for the validation process.

The HB .01 Objective of this meeting is to enable the CAA to receive an overview briefing ofthe project and acquire sufficient information to establish the appropriate technical disciplinesand size of the Team. The phase ends with the establishment of the CAA Team.

Phase II - Technical familiarisation

The HB .01 Objective of this phase is technical familiarisation with the aircraft by the CAATeam.

The CAA team should receive a thorough familiarisation briefing on a new certification

program in order to fully understand the product design and any unique or novel designfeatures. This information will be used to establish the CAA Type Certification Basis for theproject. It will also serve the purpose of educating the CAA so it may appropriately deal withcontinued operational safety issues within the STATE.

The briefing should be conducted jointly by the Primary Certification Authority and theapplicant. The PCA should present its Type Certification Basis and give a thorough brief onall Exemptions, Special Conditions and Equivalent Safety Findings to ensure they are fullyunderstood by the CAA Team. The PCA should also give an overview of any significantcompliance findings already established.

Of prime importance is the presentation of the MOC (Means of Compliances) used, or to beused, for regulations that significantly contribute to the airworthiness of the product, such asfatigue, static strength, software validation and verification, basic loads, lightning, etc.


17/153



Phase III - Determining CAA involvement

The HB .01 Objective of this phase is to identify the delegation of compliance determinationsby the CAA to the CA and those compliance determinations that the CAA wishes to retain foritself.

Phase IV- Compliance Determination

Compliance determinations are made either by the CA or the CAA Team. Suchdeterminations can be made as soon as compliance responsibility is established. The phaseends with the issuance of the CAA Type Certificate.

The task of demonstrating compliance with the requirements is the responsibility of theApplicant. The task of being satisfied that compliance has been demonstrated is theresponsibility of the CAA Team

Compliance with the CAA Type Certification Basis for the Product will be based oncompliance with the CA Type Certification Basis, plus compliance with the SRD (SignificantRegulatory Difference) for the particular amendment-pair of regulations and any Exemptionsand Special Conditions issued by the CAA.

For a validation project concurrent or almost concurrent with the certification project, thisphase includes the familiarisation flights by the CAA. For a validation project sequential tothe certification project, it is recommended that the familiarisation flights take place duringPhase II of the validation program to ensure an early, more complete understanding of theProduct.

Compliance with the CAA Type Certification Basis for the Product will be based on compliancewith the CA Type Certification Basis, plus compliance with the SRD for the particularamendment-pair of regulations and any Exemptions and Special Conditions issued by theCAA.

The compliance record/compliance checklist must include a definition of the build standard(CAA Type Design) associated with the compliance demonstrations.

Each compliance document referred to in the Compliance Record shall contain a statementby the Applicant declaring compliance with the applicable requirements

Conformity Statement and Inspection

For certification tests, the Applicant must submit a statement of conformity according to IR21.N33. Any deviations from the defined CAA Type Design must be identified in thecertification reports.

To verify the Applicant's conformity Statement,the Team may request the CA, or via the CAits representative, to perform an inspection as considered appropriate by the Team.

Equipment Qualification

The Applicant, in agreement with the PCM, shall use a procedure to cover equipmentqualification. This Procedure will primarily assure the airworthiness for a particularinstallation.


18/153



Witnessing of tests

The CA is responsible for the witnessing of all tests necessary for the compliance finding tothe CAA Type Certification Basis. However, the CAA Team may determine that they need tohave direct involvement in the witnessing of specific tests. The PCM must ensure thatsufficient notice is given for this to be taken into account in the test programme and thereason and extent of the CAA Teams involvement isjustified.

Final Report

The Team will produce a report which will record the Type Design on which the evaluation isbased, will recall the Team's understanding of the design on which it has worked, thesignificant subject(s) investigated and the details of that investigation, the process followedand the conclusions regarding compliance with the CAA Type Certification basis.

The Final Report produced by the PCM/Team will be presented for approval by the PCM to

CAA Management. A specimen Final Report is given in Appendix 7.

The CAA, further an application in terms of regulation HB.01.04, may grant a validation of theTC for a product issued if the applicant complies with the provisions of regulations HB.01.04and 01.05.

HB.01.07 Documentation

HB.03.13 Special Flight permit

HB.03.13.01 Objective.

This chapter provides guidance for evaluating an application to amend operationsspecifications for a special flight permit to conduct ferry flights.

HB.03.13.02 General

(1) Definition: Damaged aircraft - An aircraft that has sustained physical damage orhas inoperative/malfunctioning equipment.

(2) Issuance. The authorizing statute does not automatically authorize the issuance

of permits to all eligible operators.

(3) Eligibility

(a) The special flight permit is issued only to operators subject to the following:

(i) Holder of an OAC according to CAR XXX,

(ii) Holder of Certificate of Airworthiness in Restricted or normal category,

(b) Aircraft involved in an accident or incident may not be ferried prior to notifyingthe CAA accident coordinator.

(c) An Airworthiness Directive (AD) may dictate that safety demands furtherlimitations. The AD may limit ferry flights to those specifically approved by theCAA.

(d) ANR Part III provides that no person may operate an aircraft to which an ADapplies except in accordance with the requirements of that AD. Therefore, ifan AD requires compliance before further flight, with no provision for theissuance of special flight permit, the operation of the specified aircraft wouldnot be permitted.

(4) Manual Review


29/153



(a) The operator may consider certain conditions and limitations necessary tofacilitate the inspection and operation of an aircraft. These conditions shouldbe included in the operator's manual.

(b) When reviewing manual materials, the following items should be considered:

(i) Technical data

(ii) Operational equipment necessary for safe operation of the aircraft

(iii) Aircraft weight limits

(iv) Fuel distribution limits

(v) Center of gravity limits

(vi) Aircraft maneuver limitations

(vii) Flight equipment usage, limitations, e.g., autopilot, etc.

(viii) Airspeed limits

(ix) Meteorological limits, including:

Conditions to be avoided

Required inspections when these conditions are encountered

Weather minimums

(2) Authorization for Ferry Flights with one Engine Inoperative. Operators mayconduct a ferry flight of a four engines airplane or a turbine engine poweredairplane equipped with three engines, with one engine inoperative, to a base forthe purpose of repairing that engine. The following restrictions will apply:

(a) The particular airplane model must have had a test flight conducted with anengine inoperative in accordance with performance data contained in theapplicable airplane flight manual

(b) The approved airplane flight manual must contain the performance data.

(c) The operator's manual must contain operating procedures for the safeoperation of the airplane,

(d) The operator may not depart an airport where the initial climbout is in thicklypopulated or the weather conditions at the takeoff or destination airport areless than those required for Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight

(e) Only required flight crewmembers can be carried aboard during this ferryflight


30/153



(f) The required flight crewmembers must be thoroughly familiar with thecompany's operating procedures and the airplane Approved Flight Manual forone engine inoperative ferry flights.

HB.03.13.03 Application involving foreign air transportation.

Special Airworthiness Certificate, prohibits an aircraft to fly "over any foreign countrywithout the special permission of that country. When issued for one of these purposes,the CAA is obligated to ensure this Contracting State registered aircraft have standardairworthiness certificates. Therefore, the aircraft cannot be flown over any foreigncountry without the special permission of that country.

(1) The only exception recognized in ICAO Annex 8 is the temporary loss ofairworthiness due to damage to the aircraft. In this case, damaged aircraft refersto inoperative or malfunctioning equipment as well as physical damage to theaircraft. In such an event, Part II, Section 6.2.2, recognizes that the country of

registry may allow the aircraft to be ferried to a where it can be restored to anairworthy condition.

(2) Since Annex 8 provides for this flight situation, an AOC certificate holderengaged in foreign air transportation is not required to obtain permission to flyover, into, or out of foreign countries when exercising the provision of a specialflight permit, with continuing authorization to conduct ferry flights for purposes ofrepair.

HB.03.13.04. Display of permit

The operator must display in the aircraft the current airworthiness certificate, including

a special flight permit or authorization. The operator must carry either the operationsspecifications or portions of the certificate holder manual containing a restatement ofthe permit with those conditions and limitations imposed by the Director.

Transmission of special flight permits.

At the request of the applicant, a special flight permit may be transmitted via FAXequipment using the sample format of the telegraphic special flight permit .Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft and Related Approvals.

(1) The permit must include any additional operating limitations that may be requiredand must be displayed in the aircraft, prior to conducting the special flight.

(2) The transmission of a special flight permit via FAX allows an aircraft to be movedwhen the flight cannot be delayed.

(3) FAX transmitted special flight permits are to be used only for the followingpurposes:

(a) Flying the aircraft to a base where repairs, alteration, or maintenance are tobe performed or to a point of storage

(b) Evacuating aircraft from areas of impending danger

(4) CAA offices having FAX equipment capable of sending messages collect willadvise the applicant that payment for the FAX special flight permit must be made


31/153



at the receiving location. If the FAX equipment at the CAA office is not capable ofsending messages collect, the applicant may pick up the completed and signedFAX special permit at the CAA office and transmit it by another FAX machine atthe applicant's discretion.
