When the airworthiness review staff are not appropriately qualified to MCAR-66 in order to release such maintenance, MCAR-M.710(b) requires them to be assisted by such qualified personnel. However, the function of such MCAR-66 personnel is limited to perform and release the maintenance actions requested by the airworthiness review staff, it not being their function to perform the physical survey of the aircraft. As stated in MCAR-M.710(b), the airworthiness review staff shall carry out the physical survey of the aircraft, and this survey includes the verification that no inconsistencies can be found between the aircraft and the documented review of records. This means that the airworthiness review staff who are going to sign the airworthiness review certificate or the recommendation should be the one performing both the documented review and the physical survey of the aircraft, it not being the intent of the rule to delegate the survey to MCAR-66 personnel who are not airworthiness review staff. Furthermore, the provision of MCAR-M.710(d) allowing a 90 days anticipation for the physical survey provides enough flexibility to ensure that the airworthiness review staff are present.
2.
The physical survey may include verifications to be carried out during flight.
3.
The MCAR-M Subpart G organisation should develop procedures for the airworthiness review staff to produce a compliance report that confirms the physical survey has been carried out and found satisfactory.
4.
To ensure compliance the physical survey may include relevant sample checks of items.
AMC M.710(d) Airworthiness review
“Without loss of continuity of the airworthiness review pattern” means that the newexpiration date is set up one year after the previous expiration date. As a consequence, when the airworthiness review is anticipated, the validity or the airworthiness review certificate islonger than one year (up to 90 days longer). This anticipation of up to 90 days also applies to the 12 month requirements shown in MCAR-M.901(b), which means that the aircraft is still considered as being in a controlled environment if it has been continuously managed by a single organisation and maintained by appropriately approved organisations, as stated in MCAR-M.901(b), from the date when the last airworthiness review certificate was issued until the date when the new airworthiness review is performed (this can be up to 90 days less than 12 months).
