6.3 Engineering judgement
6.3.1 Engineering judgement is itself inherent to reliability programmes as no interpretation of data is possible without judgement. In approving the M.A.Subpart G organisation’s maintenance and reliability programmes, the competent authority is expected to ensure that the organisation which runs the programme (it may be the M.A.Subpart G organisation, or an Part-145 organisation under contract) hires sufficiently qualified personnel with appropriate engineering experience and understanding of reliability concept (see AMC M.A.706)
6.3.2 It follows that failure to provide appropriately qualified personnel for the reliability programme may lead the competent authority to reject the approval of the reliability programme and therefore the aircraft mainte-nance programme.
6.4 Contracted maintenance
6.4.1 Whereas M.A.302 specifies that, the aircraft maintenance programme -which includes the associated reliability programme-, should be man-aged and presented by the M.A.Subpart G organisation to the competent authority, it is understood that the M.A.Subpart G organisation may delegate certain functions to the Part-145 organisation under contract, provided this organisation proves to have the appropriate expertise.
6.4.2 These functions are:
(a)
Developing the aircraft maintenance and reliability programmes,
(b)
Performing the collection and analysis of the reliability data,
(c)
Providing reliability reports, and
(d)
Proposing corrective actions to the M.A.Subpart G organisation.
6.4.3 Notwithstanding the above decision to implement a corrective action (or the decision to request from the competent authority the approval to implement a corrective action) remains the M.A.Subpart G organisation’s prerogative and responsibility. In relation to paragraph 6.4.2(d) above, a decision not to implement a corrective action should be justified and documented.
6.4.4 The arrangement between the M.A.Subpart G organisation and the Part-145 organisation should be specified in the maintenance contract (see appendix 11) and the relevant CAME, and MOE procedures.
6.5 Reliability programme
In preparing the programme details, account should be taken of this paragraph. All associated procedures should be clearly defined.
6.5.1 Objectives
6.5.1.1 A statement should be included summarising as precisely as pos-sible the prime objectives of the programme. To the minimum it should include the following:
(a)
to recognise the need for corrective action,
(b)
to establish what corrective action is needed and,
(c)
to determine the effectiveness of that action
