Company - General *
Acme Aero Limited is an aviation company formed in 1984. It offers both a scheduled and non-scheduled domestic air service from the main base at Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, with sub-bases in Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport and Montreal International (Dorval). The operator also transports certain dangerous goods by air.
Acme Aero Limited operates one PA31 and two DA-20 aircraft from its main base, one HS-748 from each sub-base, plus one PA31 from the sub-base in Toronto. The HS-748s offer a scheduled service between Toronto and Windsor, Ontario and between Montreal and Val D’Or, Quebec. The PA31s operate on a charter basis and are available for med-evac under a standing offer with the Ministry of Health for the Province of Ontario. The DA20s have been added to the AOC since the previous audit in June 1997 and operate under contract to a major courier company.
Aircraft maintenance is performed in-house at all three bases. There is a full-time staff of eight Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, five apprentices and two technicians. The Aircraft Technical Records are kept at the main base in Ottawa.
The company has experienced steady growth and now employs over one hundred people. More detailed company information is provided in Appendix A.
Methodology *
Standard audit procedures specified in the Inspection and Audit Manual will be used. Specialty guidance materials, including checklists, forms and other guidance documents will be used where recommended in the applicable functional area control manual. The random sampling method will be employed where possible with deviations approved by the appropriate team leader.
Where we determine through our review that everything appears to be in order, we complete the specialty
area summary for that area and go on to the next specialty area that we are responsible for. Where Acme Aero Limited appears not to be performing in accordance with the Aeronautics Act, the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), associated CARs Standards, or an approved company control manual, they are said to be in non-conformance. The following steps will then be followed:
(a)
define the area of possible non-conformance;
(b)
retain any clearly defined evidence;
(c)
prepare CRF (if necessary) and present to Team Leader for vetting and discussion;
