10.2 Certifying Staff - Maintenance

• Understanding MAML and Certifying Staff regulation.

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

DASR 66 Military Aircraft Maintenance Licence (MAML)

• A MAML is the Legal Authority, issued by DASA, which permits an individual to certify maintenance and issue a Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) following On Aircraft maintenance when authorised by their DASR 145 Maintenance Organisation.

• The MAML is based on the individual’s Qualifications, Training, Experience and maintenance Authorisations

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

Certificate of Release to Service

• A Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) is required following the completion of On-Aircraft maintenance IAW DASR 145.A.50(a)

• Only an authorised licence holder with the appropriate privileges can issue an On-Aircraft CRS following maintenance.

12

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

What is a Certificate of Release to Service (CRS)?

• A CRS is a statement, signed by an appropriately authorised licence holder, on behalf of an approved organisation, which attests that maintenance has been carried-out to the required standard.

• The CRS contains the basic details of the maintenance carried out, the date that it was completed and the identity and licence number of the person issuing the certificate.

What does this mean?

13

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

Exercising (use of ) a Licence

14

Issuing a CRS means that :

– all maintenance ordered by the CAMO has been correctly & completely carried out, and

– there are no non-conformances which could affect flight safety

The CRS issued by the 145 MO certifies the work specified was carried out IAW DASR 145 and the Aircraft is ready for release to Service.

Line and Base Maintenance

19

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

Line Maintenance Line Maintenance is: AMC 145.A.20 (AUS)• Line maintenance should be understood as any maintenance that is carried out before

flight to ensure that the aircraft is fit for the intended flight. Line maintenance may include:– Trouble shooting.– Defect rectification.– Component replacement with use of external test equipment if required.

Component replacement may include components such as engines and propellers/rotors.

– Scheduled maintenance and/or checks including visual inspections that will detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies but do not require extensive in depth inspection. It may also include internal structure, systems and power plant items which are visible through quick opening access panels/doors.

– Minor repairs and modifications which do not require extensive disassembly and can be accomplished by simple means.
