3.
Temporarily sub-contracted means the person is employed by another organisation and contracted by that organisation to the approved maintenance organisation.
AMC M.A.606 (e) Personnel requirements
1.
Personnel involved in maintenance should be assessed for competence by ‘on the job’ evaluation and/or by examination relevant to their particular job role within the organisation before unsupervised work is permitted.
2.
Adequate initial and recurrent training should be provided and recorded to ensure continued competence.
AMC M.A.606 (f) Personnel requirements
1.
Continued airworthiness non-destructive testing means such testing specified by the type certificate holder of the aircraft, engine or propeller in the M.A.304 (b) mainte-nance data for in service aircraft/aircraft components for the purpose of determining the continued fitness of the product to operate safely.
2.
Appropriately qualified means to level 1, 2 or 3 as defined by European Standard EN 4179 dependant upon the non-destructive testing function to be carried out.
3.
Notwithstanding the fact that level 3 personnel may be qualified via EN 4179 to estab-lish and authorise methods, techniques, etc., this does not permit such personnel to deviate from methods and techniques published by the type certificate holder/manu-facturer in the form of continued airworthiness data, such as in non-destructive test manuals or service bulletins, unless the manual or service bulletin expressly permits such deviation.
4.
Notwithstanding the general references in EN 4179 to a national aerospace NDI board, all examinations should be conducted by personnel or organisations under the general control of such a board. In the absence of a national aerospace NDI board, examinations should be conducted by personnel or organisations under the general control of the NDI board of a Member State designated by the competent authority.
5.
Particular non-destructive test means any one or more of the following: dye pene-trant, magnetic particle, eddy current, ultrasonic and radiographic methods including X ray and gamma ray.
6.
In addition it should be noted that new methods are and will be developed, such as, but not limited to thermography and shearography, which are not specifically addressed by EN 4179. Until such time as an agreed standard is established such methods should be carried out in accordance with the particular equipment manu-facturers’ recommendations including any training and examination process to ensure competence of the personnel with the process.
7.
Any approved maintenance organisation that carries out continued airworthiness non-destructive testing should establish qualification procedures for non-destructive testing.
8.
Boroscoping and other techniques such as delamination coin tapping are non-destructive inspections rather than non-destructive testing. Notwithstanding such differentiation, approved maintenance organisation should establish a procedure to ensure that personnel who carry out and interpret such inspections are properly trained and assessed for their competence with the process. Non-destructive inspec-tions, not being considered as non-destructive testing by M.A. Subpart F are not listed in Appendix IV to Part-M under class rating D1.
9.
The referenced standards, methods, training and procedures should be specified in the maintenance organisation manual.
10.
Any such personnel who intend to carry out and/or control a non-destructive test for which they were not qualified prior to the effective date of Part-M should qualify for such non-destructive test in accordance with EN 4179.
11.
In this context officially recognised standard means those standards established or published by an official body whether having legal personality or not, which are widely recognised by the air transport sector as constituting good practice.
