Incoming Conditions.
The contract should specify in which condition the Operator's must send the aircraft to the MCAR-145 approved organisation. For instance it is important to specify the configuration of the engine, e.g. including the list of the components that remain fitted to the engine before sending it to the MCAR-145 approved organisation. It may also be valuable that a workscope planning meeting be organised so that the tasks to be performed may be commonly agreed (see also paragraph 3.21: "Meetings").
Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletin/Modifications
The contract should specify what information the operator is responsible to provide to the MCAR-145 approved organisation, such as the due date of the AD, the selected means of compliance, the decision to embody Service Bulletins (SB's) or modification, etc… In addition the type of information the operator will need in return to complete the control of ADs and modification-status should be specified.
Hours & Cycles control.
Hours and cycles control is the responsibility of the operator, but there may be cases where the MCAR-145 approved organisation must be in receipt of the current flight hours and cycles on a regular basis so that it may update the records for its own planning functions (see also paragraph 3.20: "Exchange of information").
Life Limited Parts.
Life Limited Parts control is the responsibility of the Operator.
The MCAR-145 approved organisation will have to provide the operator with all the necessary information about the LLP removal/installation so that the Operator may update its records (see also paragraph 3.20 "Exchange of information").
Supply of parts.
The contract should specify whether a particular type of material or component comes from the operator's or the MCAR-145 approved organisation's store, which type of component is pooled, etc...Attention should be paid on the fact that it is the MCAR-145 competence and responsibility to be in any case satisfied that the component in question meets the approved data/standard and to ensure that the aircraft component is in a satisfactory condition for fitment. In other words, there is definitely no way for a MCAR-145 organisation to accept whatever he receives from the operator. For the certification of parts, additional guidance is provided by MCAR-145.42.
Scheduled maintenance.
For planning scheduled maintenance checks, the support documentation to be given to the MCAR-145 approved organisation should be specified. This may include, but may not be limited to:
. applicable work package, including job cards;
. scheduled component removal list;
. modifications to be incorporated;
. etc...
When the MCAR-145 approved organisation determines, for any reason, to defer a maintenance task, it has to be formally agreed by the Operator. If the deferment goes beyond an approved limit, refer to paragraph 3.16: "Deviation from the maintenance Schedule". This should be addressed, where applicable, in the maintenance contract. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：马尔代夫民航法规 MCAR-M Continuing Airworthiness(118)
