 FOREWORD

In order to assist those Contracting States that issue Certificates of Airworthiness to establish
direct contact with the authorities of other States* responsible for the continuing airworthiness** of aircraft
and its equipment, and vice versa as needs be, the ICAO Airworthiness Committee, a body of experts
authorized by the Council and functioning under the Air Navigation Commission, at its eighth meeting held
in Amsterdam in April/May 1968, recommended that ICAO collect the following information, compile it in
a suitable form and disseminate it to all Contracting States for their guidance:

a) the exact address including telephone number and telex or cable address of the agency
directly responsible for the issuing of airworthiness directives (or their equivalent);

b) a brief description of the method for the issuance of airworthiness directives (or their
equivalent);

c) the methods used for informing the individual aircraft owner and the airworthiness
authorities of State of Registry;

d) the name of the publication in which individual directives and summaries are to be
found; and

e) the list of the design organizations responsible for the type design/the continuing
airworthiness of aircraft.

At its fourteenth meeting held in Montreal in October/November 1981, the Airworthiness

Committee recommended that details of States’ systems for reporting of information on faults, defects and
malfunctions should be collected and published in an ICAO circular.

The Air Navigation Commission, by approving the above recommendations, duly authorized
the dissemination of all information.

This circular, published by authority of the Secretary General, contains the requisite material.
It has been developed from the information provided by Contracting States. To assist ICAO in keeping this
circular up to date, States are urged to notify any changes and provide any additional material as and when
these become available.

*
The continuing airworthiness of an aircraft is determined by the State in which the aircraft is registered, in relation to the
appropriate airworthiness requirements in force for that aircraft (Annex 8, Part II, Chapter 4, paragraph 4.2).

**
In this connexion the term “continuing airworthiness” refers to such matters as the promulgation of Service Bulletins,
Airworthiness Directives relating to mandatory modifications and the like (Annex 8, Part II, Chapter 4, paragraph 4.3).

(iii)
 To facilitate compliance with provisions 3.2.2 and 4.3 of Part II of Annex 8, this Circular provides
information on codes of airworthiness used by different States for issue or validation of certificates of
airworthiness, methods of handling and exchange of information on Airworthiness Directives (or their
equivalent) and details of systems used in States for reporting of information on faults, defects and
malfunctions, as well as the list of the Design Organizations responsible for the continuing airworthiness of
aircraft.

2. CODES OF AIRWORTHINESS USED BY DIFFERENT STATES

2.1 To facilitate the import and export as well as the exchange of aircraft for lease, charter or
interchange and to facilitate the operation of aircraft in international air navigation, Article 33 of the Chicago
Convention places the burden on the State of Registry to recognize and/or render valid an airworthiness
certificate issued by another Contracting State, subject to the condition that the airworthiness requirements
under which a certificate is issued or rendered valid are equal to or above the minimum standards which may
be established by ICAO from time to time pursuant to the Convention. These minimum standards are
contained in Annex 8, entitled “Airworthiness of Aircraft”, the first edition of which was adopted by the
Council on 1 March 1949.

2.2 Annex 8 includes broad standards which define, for application by the national authorities, the
minimum basis for recognition by States of certificates of airworthiness for the purpose of flight of aircraft
of other States into and over their territories, thereby achieving, among other things, protection of other
aircraft, third persons and property. It is recognized that ICAO standards would not replace national
regulations and that national codes of airworthiness containing the full scope and extent of the detail
considered necessary by individual States would be required as the basis for the certification of individual
aircraft. Each State is thus free to develop its own comprehensive and detailed code of airworthiness or to
select a comprehensive and detailed code of airworthiness established by another State.

2.3 Information on the codes of airworthiness adopted/used by different States for the issue or
validation of certificates of airworthiness is contained in Section A.

3. METHODS OF HANDLING AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION ON

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR EQUIVALENT)

3.1 A large number of States operate aircraft that have been manufactured and/or certificated in
another State. In order to continue to maintain such aircraft at a level of airworthiness equivalent to that
achieved in the State in which the certificate of airworthiness for the prototype aircraft was issued, the State
in which such aircraft are currently registered needs to obtain regularly all information, in particular,
airworthiness directives, service bulletins, etc., issued by the type certification authority, by the manufacturer
or, on rare occasions by the airworthiness authority of any other State in which the same type of aircraft are
registered, where such information pertains to the continuing airworthiness and the prevention and remedying
of recurring defects in aircraft and their equipment. It is necessary then that each State receive all continuing
airworthiness information relating to aircraft on its register, no matter what State originate the information.
It is equally necessary, to facilitate co-ordinated corrective measures, for the State of Manufacture to receive
continuing airworthiness information originated in any other State relating to aircraft it has manufactured.
There are, however, no established procedures for the exchange of such information among the interested
parties. As a result, operators and registering authorities in other States are not always aware of the
existence of these airworthiness directives and service bulletins and it is possible that some of these may be

(iv)
of considerable importance from the operational safety viewpoint. A lack of proper co-ordination among
States could, therefore, result in major accidents.

3.2 It is also well known that the method used, by States, to promulgate the information for
maintaining continuing airworthiness of the aircraft and its equipment and the format in which this
information is provided to the interested parties vary considerably. Most of the aircraft manufacturing States
issues this information in the form of airworthiness directives, which are approved by an authority in the
manufacturing State responsible for continuing airworthiness. In some cases the airworthiness directives
make a reference to the fact that fuller details are available from the service bulletins issued by the
manufacturers. Some of the non-aircraft-manufacturing States prepare their own airworthiness directives
on the basis of information provided by the manufacturing States in the form of either airworthiness
directives or service bulletins, and send these to the operators and the owners of aircraft on their national
register. Others simply pass on the information received from the manufacturing States to the operators and
the owners of aircraft.

3.3 These matters came to the attention of the Airworthiness Committee which, at its Seventh
Meeting (Montreal, November – December 1966), discussed briefly the difficulties being experienced by
certain States in maintaining the continuing airworthiness of imported aircraft. It noted that certain States
have bilateral agreements for the exchange of the requisite information. However, it also noted that the
detailed procedures vary from one State to another, depending upon the type of organization and the facilities
available within the national authorities.

3.4 At its Eighth Meeting (Amsterdam, April – May 1968), the Airworthiness Committee renewed
its discussion of this subject and made a detailed study of the procedures followed in several States. It agreed
to the need for better co-ordination between the State of Registry on the one hand and the State of
Manufacture or the State of Type Certification* on the other. Also that concerned States should establish a
direct contact and agree upon the method of communication for the requisite information. In addition the
Committee established a Working Group which will study all relevant aspects of the problem in the light of
the available information with the objective of submitting proposals for the consideration of the Committee.
In order to assist States in establishing contacts with the authorities responsible for continuing airworthiness
of aircraft and their equipment, the Committee made the following recommendations.

“RECOMMENDATION 6.5/1 – DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION IN

RESPECT OF AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBLE
FOR CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS

That ICAO collect the following information in respect of the authorities in the Contracting
States responsible for continuing airworthiness, compile it in a suitable form and
disseminate to all Contracting States for their guidance:

i) the exact address including telephone number and Telex or cable address of the agency
1
directly responsible for the issuing of airworthiness directives (or their equivalent);
ii) a brief description of the method for the issuance of airworthiness directives (or their
equivalent);

1
In ceratin instances the State of Manufacture may not be the same as the State of Type Certification

(v)
 iii) the methods used for informing the individual aircraft owner and the airworthiness
authorities of States of Registry; and

iv) the same of the publication in which individual directives and summaries are to be
found.”

The Air Navigation Commission subsequently approved the Recommendation and all Contracting States
were requested by ICAO State letter AN 3/33-68/208 dated 3 January 1969 to provide the necessary
information. This information was published in 1969 in the first edition (including Addendum No. 1) of this
Circular.

3.5 At its Tenth Meeting (Montreal, May – June 1973) the Airworthiness Committee
recommended (Recommendation 4/2) that there should be a periodic updating (at intervals of approximately
2 years) of this Circular in order to take account of changes of address or changes in national procedures
related to continuing airworthiness. This Recommendation was approved by the Air Navigation Commission
on 28 June 1973.

3.6 Accordingly, updated information on the names and addresses, including the telephone
number, telex number and cable address, where available, of the authorities responsible for continuing
airworthiness of aircraft and its equipment is given in Section B and details of practices employed in some
of the Contracting States with respect to the format and the methods of exchange of the information are
described in Section C.

4. REPORTING OF INFORMATION ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

4.1 At its fourteenth meeting (Montreal, October/November 1981) the Airworthiness Committee
recognized the need to introduce to introduce into Annex 8 a Standard requiring the State of Registry to
ensure the existence of a system where information on faults, malfunctions, defects and other occurrences
experienced during the operation of an aircraft, which could affect its continued airworthiness, was
transmitted to the manufacturers of the aircraft for appropriate action. Accordingly, it developed
Recommendation 2/1 for an amendment to Annex 8. The Committee also noted that in a number of States
there already existed suitable systems for the reporting of occurrences to the authorities. It felt that details
of the systems already in operation should be collected by ICAO and issued in the form of a Circular for
guidance to all States. Accordingly, it developed Recommendation 2/2 as follows:

“RECOMMENDATION 2/2 – INFORMATION ON STATES’ SYSTEMS FOR THE

REPORTING OF INFORMATION ON FAULTS,
DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

That ICAO collect information from States on their systems for the mandatory reporting of
information on faults, defects, malfunctions and other occurrences which cause or might
cause adverse effects on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and publish such
information in an ICAO Circular.”

The above recommendation was approved by the Air Navigation Commission on 15 December 1981 and the
information received from States is provided in Section D.

5. LIST OF THE DESIGN ORGANIZATIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TYPE DESIGN/THE
CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS OF AIRCRAFT

5.1 At its first meeting (Montreal, January 1988) the Continuing Airworthiness Panel realized
that it was sometimes difficult for an airworthiness authority (State of Registry or Operator) or for an
operator to identify which organization was responsible for the type design of a particular aircraft, especially
when the aircraft were becoming older and production of the type may have ceased; additionally, where
organizations in more than one State were engaged in a joint project. It was suggested that this situation
might be alleviated if States could be asked to provide the names and addresses of the type certificate holders
of particular aircraft in their States. Such information could then be published in ICAO Circular 95 (The
Continuing Airworthiness of Aircraft in Service). It is not intended for the time being to obtain and publish
information on Supplemental Type Certificates.

5.2 The meeting recognized that some States issuing an initial Type Certificate may not inlcude
within that Type Certificate those variants of the aircraft type that are not entered on the State’s own register.
In such cases the only Type Certificate issued may be that issued by a State of Registry. Nevertheless, the
organization that produces the Type Design will remain effectively the organization responsible for the
continuing airworthiness. Some suitable methods should therefore be found for annotating or separately
listing such variants and associating them with an explanation that certain aspects of such variants may only
have been investigated in a particular State of Registry.

5.3 The meeting recognized that there are already cases where a nominally identical aircraft type
is not only being produced and assembled in two separate States but those States have also issued Type
Certificates to the organizations assembling the aircraft which imply the acceptance of responsibility
associated with the initial Type Certificate (i.e. ability to deal with continuing airworthiness aspects of design
as well as production). In such cases, ICAO should request the two States jointly to produce a statement for
inclusion in the Circular stating the system that they intend should be used for the reporting to them of
occurrences.

5.4 Accordingly, the meeting developed the following recommendation:

“RECOMMENDATION 1/1 – INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DESIGN

O RGANI ZA T I O N R E S P O N S I B L E F O R
CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS

That for each aircraft type over 5 700 kg ICAO should obtain the name and address of the
design organization responsible for its continuing airworthiness; that this information should
be published in an appropriate ICAO document and thereafter periodically updated.”

The above Recommendation was approved by the Air Navigation Commission and the information received
from States is provided in Section E.

This responsibility has been delegated to a technical oversight agency called Bureau Véritas,
which has the necessary human and material resources.

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Act No 98.06 of 27 June 1998, which establishes the ground rules in the field of civil
aviation, is the main reference point when it comes to the code of airworthiness. The regulations related to
this Act establish the rules for issuing and maintaining Certificates of Airworthiness (C of A).

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

EDITING AND PUBLICATION

Airworthiness Directives issued by States of Manufacture for aircraft registered in Algeria

are adapted and re-issued in the form of Algerian Airworthiness Technical Instructions (ITN) by the
Direction de l’Aviation Civile et de la Météorologie (DACM).

Airworthiness Directives received by cable and/or telex are generally addressed directly to
users, who must conform to the directives contained in these documents; Bureau Véritas later re-issues these
documents in the form of ITN.

APPLICATION

The application of individual and recurring ITN is rigorously monitored by Bureau Véritas,
particularly during periodic maintenance inspections (C or D checks).

As well, Bureau Véritas has a software program which enables it to monitor two pieces of
ITN data: the date of entry into force and the compliance deadline.

Monitoring is particularly rigorous in the case of:

- classification of aircraft
- renewal of Certificates of Airworthiness
4 ALGERIA

Methods used to exchange information with other Contracting States concerning continuing
airworthiness:

- Algeria maintains ongoing cooperative contacts with Contracting States in the field of
airworthiness.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

- in flight:

The pilot-in-command reports the malfunction using a technical report form (CRM). The
company in turn reports the malfunction to Bureau Véritas. Responsibility for correcting the malfunction
falls to the company’s technical department, which issues a supplemental work order (FTS). Once the
necessary repairs and tests have been completed, monitoring designed to return the aircraft to service is
carried out in the presence of Bureau Véritas representatives.

- on the ground:

During scheduled or other maintenance, the aircraft is deemed unfit for flight until the
malfunction has been repaired.

Reporting of information:

When a malfunction occurs, the operator reports the incident to Bureau Véritas, which issues
a service difficulty report (FAT) categorizing the incident according to ATA maintenance manual
specifications (Chapter 100) and forwards it to the DACM.

The FAT is identical to that used by Bureau Véritas in France.

In the event of a major incident, a Commission of Inquiry is set up by the Ministry of

Transport and an inquiry is carried out. Once the inquiry has been completed and the final report issued, a
copy is forwarded to ICAO.

E. NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE DESIGN ORGANIZATIONS

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TYPE DESIGN/

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

The following documents containing airworthiness requirements are in effect in the Republic
of Armenia:

- Aviation regulations of the Interstate Aviation committee (IAC) of the Commonwealth

of Independent States (CIS) - AP-21, AP-23, AP-25, AP-27, AP-29, AP-33, AP-35,
AP-36, AP-39 and AP-183;

- Airworthiness code for USSR civil aircraft (NLGS-2 and NLGS-3), where special
conditions are provided.

A Certificate of Airworthiness is issued for a period of up to one year, taking into account
the aircraft’s service life and the calendar time periods of service, if such limitations exist.

In validating a Certificate of Airworthiness, in all cases the new period of validity cannot
exceed the period of validity of the Certificate of Airworthiness of the aircraft that was established earlier.

The extension of a Certificate of Airworthiness is done, with a charge being levied, on the
basis of an application by the aircraft owner or operator and a report on the inspection and determination of
airworthiness.

If before the date of issue, extension or validation of a Certificate of Airworthiness, the

aircraft has had an interruption in flight operations of 30 days or more, it is subject to a flight test in
accordance with the maintenance programme.

The flight test is done according to an established programme and a report is presented on
the results of the test.

The Airworthiness Inspection and Certification Division may carry out a current check of
the aircraft’s technical condition or require the owner or operator to provide additional material confirming
the civil aircraft’s airworthiness.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

1. The Republic of Armenia is not a State of Design and/or Manufacture of aircraft. However,
in spite of this, the Airworthiness directives received from aircraft designers, operators’ information on
faults, defects and malfunctions affecting airworthiness in the recommendations on the results of the
investigation of aircraft accidents and incidents, develops its own airworthiness directives which are sent to
all operators by mail or by telegraph (depending on the urgency). The airworthiness directives must be
complied with by operators urgently or within specified periods of time. The results of the implementation
of the requirements of the airworthiness directives are recorded in the aircraft maintenance certificate and,
where necessary, are sent to the General Department of Civil Aviation of the Republic of Armenia, to the
aircraft designer and to the civil aviation authority of the State of Design.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

1. The documents governing civil aviation activities which are in effect in the Republic of
Armenia require the aircraft owner or operator to immediately inform the General Department of Civil
Aviation of all faults, defects, and malfunctions that may affect the airworthiness of the aircraft.
Furthermore, the regulations for the investigation of aircraft accidents and incidents require the owner or
operator to immediately notify in writing the Flight Safety Inspectorate of the General Department of Civil
Aviation of the Republic of Armenia which organizes the corresponding investigation. The Inspectorate
transmits the results of the investigation and the purpose of taking measures to prevent similar unfortunate
aviation events to all operators of the Republic of Armenia, organizations responsible for the design of that
type of aircraft and the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) in order to subsequently inform the Contracting
States of the CIS countries.

Validation of a Certificate of Airworthiness

Annex 8, Part II, 5.2 to the Chicago Convention requires that when a State of Registry
renders valid a Certificate of Airworthiness issued by another Contracting State it shall provide a suitable
declaration of authorization to be incorporated into the old Certificate of Airworthiness. The validation of
the authorization shall not extend beyond the period of validity of the Certificate of Airworthiness. However,
whenever the period of validity of the Certificate of Airworthiness is renewed, the authorization may be
renewed and another authorization issued for a period not exceeding the validity of the Certificate of
Airworthiness.

In cases where the Certificate of Airworthiness is issued with an expiry date, it shall be
validated only for the period up to the expiry date of the Certificate of Airworthiness.

Once the Certificate of Airworthiness is validated, the aircraft involved comes under direct
DGCA control of both the maintenance and the safe operation of the aircraft.

Requirements for the validation of a Certificate of Airworthiness

1) Original Certificate of Airworthiness or a photocopy certified by the aviation authority of

the State of Registry;

2) Original registration certificate or a photocopy certified by the aviation authority of the State
of Registry;

3) Record of compliance with airworthiness directives;

4) Maintenance programme approved by the State of Registry;

5) Record of limited-life components;

BOLIVIA 39

6) Maintenance-level operating specifications;

7) Aircraft release after the last servicing;

8) Subscription to the technical publications issued by the aviation authority (CAA) of the State
of Manufacture of the aircraft to ensure that up-to-date technical manuals, airworthiness directives and
service bulletins are available;

9) Up-to-date hours and cycles status of the fuselage, engines, propellers and components;

10) Up-to-date weight and balance report.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

At present, Bolivia relies on the airworthiness directives and service bulletins issued by the
authorities of the State of Manufacture and the manufacturer companies, respectively. In addition, operators
are required to subscribe with companies like ATP or to keep in constant communication with the
manufacturer company concerned. Compliance with these provisions is checked constantly by means of
inspections and ongoing oversight by airworthiness inspectors from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation
(DGCA).

As to emergency airworthiness directives, once DGCA receives such communications, they

are immediately discussed with the operators affected to initiate the appropriate measures. In specific cases
which affect continuing airworthiness, the Bolivian DGCA maintains close communication with Argentina,
Ecuador or any other state which is prepared to collaborate and exchange airworthiness-related information.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

The system used by the Bolivian DGCA for the notification of faults, defects and
malfunctions is based on the requirements of the Bolivian Aviation Regulations (BAR), Parts 121.703
“Mechanical Reliability Report”, 121.705 “Summary of Mechanical Outage Reports”, 121.707 “Modification
and Repair Reports”, 135.415 “Mechanical Reliability Report”, 135.417 “Summary Mechanical Outage

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Airworthiness Code(s)

The Airworthiness Code used by Brazil is Brazilian Regulations for Aeronautical

Certification — RBHA.

Special Conditions

Aeronautical products must conform in construction to a design approved by a Brazilian type

approval or a foreign country approval validated in Brazil. There must be a certification from the appropriate
airworthiness authority which certifies that the product complies with the Brazilian Type Approval or with
the foreign country Type Approval validated plus the additional requirements established by the Brazilian
Airworthiness Authorities.
44 BRAZIL

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

1. The airworthiness directives are issued in documents called “Diretrizes de

Aeronavegabilidade” which are issued and divulged by the DAC to all affected operators and authorities.
The distribution, as appropriate, is made by mail, but urgent distribution is made by facsimile or telex.

2. For imported products, Brazilian airworthiness directives are not normally issued. RBHA
39.15 officially endorses foreign airworthiness directives (or equivalent documents) in Brazil. However, a
Brazilian airworthiness directive may be issued if it becomes evident that the foreign airworthiness directive
will not be developed and is considered necessary by the Brazilian Authorities, or whenever a different
provision for Brazilian operators is established.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

1. Reporting of service difficulties to the authorities is required by the administrative

(RBHA21), maintenance (RBHA 145) and operational (RBHA 121, 135) regulations. To this effect, a service
difficulty report (form ADH-600-01 A) has been developed and is being used by the Brazilian manufacturers,
operators and any other interested individuals.

2. Service difficulty reports and accident/incident reports, notice or cause evidences, related
to Brazilian registered aircraft, are analyzed with the aim of detecting failure causes affecting the approved
type design or manufacturing operations.

3. Corrective actions are required from Brazilian TC holders, according to RBHA21.99.

Whenever an unsafe conditions is considered to exist and affect other products of the same type design, an
airworthiness directive is issued and distributed to all affected operators and authorities.

4. If the service difficulty report is related to an imported product, both the foreign
manufacturer and its authority are informed. If an unsafe condition exists and no corrective action is provided
by the foreign authority, a Brazilian airworthiness directive may be issued.

5. All the information on service difficulties with Brazilian registered aircraft is available to
other foreign authorities upon request.

1. Canadian airworthiness directives are published in a standard format, in accordance with Transport
Canada Civil Aviation internal instructions. They are issued simultaneously in both of Canada' s official
languages, English and French, except that emergency airworthiness directives are initially issued only in
English.

2. The normal methods of informing Canadian aircraft owners and foreign States of Registry of the
issuance of individual airworthiness directives are as follows:

a) Canadian owners

Canadian airworthiness directives — Transport Canada airworthiness directives are

distributed by regular mail to the affected owners listed in the Canadian Civil Aircraft
Register and special interest groups requesting distribution. In the event of an urgent
directive distribution is accomplished by facsimile or priority post.

Foreign airworthiness directives — airworthiness directives received from foreign

airworthiness authorities responsible for the subject type design and which are applicable
to aircraft registered in Canada, are issued to the affected owners and made available
electronically on the web at www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/certification/continuing/ad.htm.
Foreign emergency airworthiness directives received by facsimile or other electronic
messaging system are transmitted to the affected owners by facsimile or priority post.
56 CANADA

Foreign mandatory service bulletins — Foreign manufacturers'service bulletins declared

mandatory by the responsible airworthiness authority are not disseminated by Transport
Canada. Instead, affected owners are notified by individual letter that the service bulletin
has been issued as an airworthiness directive equivalent.

b) Foreign States of Registry

Canadian airworthiness directives are sent by regular mail to the airworthiness authority of
every foreign State of Registry in which models of Canadian manufactured aircraft are
known to be registered. Emergency airworthiness directives are transmitted by facsimile or
AFTN.

3. In addition to the above, Transport Canada promulgates several other sources of airworthiness
directives information, including:

All current Canadian airworthiness directives are compiled in the book Canadian Airworthiness
Directives, Transport Canada publication number TP 9856, which is kept up-to-date by monthly supplements
and an annual revision. The airworthiness authority of any ICAO member State may request a complimentary

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) System

A Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) System was developed and put into effect on a preliminary
basis in 1974. The system was copied from the SDR system in use by the United States Federal Aviation
Administration and was intended to facilitate subsequent interchange of data with that organization.

Data was first processed in the mid-1970'

s, but data entry was then suspended until 1981. A manual
system was set up in 1981 to record SDRs which had been received prior to that data. In early 1985, a
voluntary programme was begun in a more earnest manner.

By 1989, the SDR programme became mandatory for many segments of the aviation community.
Now, only those owners not utilizing their aircraft for commercial purposes are exempt from reporting. This
system includes mandatory reporting for manufacturers, type certificate holders, air operators and private
operators providing passenger transportation.

Reports can be mailed directly to Transport Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0N8 or they may be
forwarded electronically. In addition, Internet access to all SDR reports from Canada, United States and
Australia is available at www.tc.gc.ca/wsdrs/.

1. Mandatory inspections and/or modifications to ensure continuing airworthiness are published as

airworthiness directives by the DGAC. The Chilean airworthiness Directives are based on measures derived
from local investigation and the requirements are prepared in accordance with technical investigations and
evaluations.

2. The following methods are used to inform aircraft operators:

a) Chilean airworthiness directives. The airworthiness directives are normally sent by mail,
but in urgent cases facsimile or e-mails are used. These documents are sent to all
commercial air transport operators, qualified Maintenance Centre and any other persons
requesting them.

b) Foreign airworthiness directives. In the case of foreign manufacture aircrafts registered

in Chile, the airworthiness directives published by the country issuing the type certificate
are implemented on a mandatory basis, except if notified by the Chilean DGAC not to be
implemented.

c) To obtain an airworthiness certificate issued by the DGCA, any Authorised Maintenance

Organization (AMO) or Commercial Air Transport Operation, must obtain the
Airworthiness Directives published by the airworthiness of the country issuing the type
certificate, under which the use of the aircraft or another aeronautical product in Chile is
approved.

d) A list of all the Chilean airworthiness directives applicable in Chile is sent to all MAO and
commercial air transport operators on a regular basis. This list, together with the
airworthiness directives currently valid, is known as the “Compendium of Airworthiness
Directives”.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

The procedures used by Chilean DGAC for the notification of faults, defects and
malfunctions, are included in DGAC Airworthiness Regulation, DAR 08.

DGAC Regulation, DAR-13, establishes the procedure to inform on accidents/incidents that

happen to an aircraft that operates in Chilean territory, with the purpose to investigate the possible causes
of what happened and to make recommendations to operator.

73 to 114 all about the maintenance, airworthiness and aircraft documentation. In some of questions these
articles point to some sub-act rules that defines them in practice. Annex 8 and relevant Docs are respected.

Although stated and established as possibility in article 88, the continued airworthiness is not yet
adopted in practice because the proceeding air law system had never enforced it thru sub-rules and circulars.

Croatia also recognizes JAR and FAR.

1.2 As a special condition, Croatia issues a Certificate of Airworthiness for a period of one year, after
which the aircraft is to be inspected by an expert(s) of Airworthiness Commission or by a designated
inspector, for a renewal of Certificate of Airworthiness. Every aircraft operator must have, depending of the
kind of operations, an Approved Maintenance System that must be based on Maintenance Manual of the
manufacturer.

disseminate the ADs to other authorities responsible for Airworthiness in foreign countries.

In case of differentiation between the countries about specified Time between Overhauls and
Maintenance/Overhaul procedures, the Croatian CAA Airworthiness experts decide to choose the most
reliable, safe and economy-based requirements.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

5.1 In any case of aircraft system faults, defects on structure or any malfunction, the operator(s) of

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

1. General Case

a) when the Civil Aviation Administration — Denmark (CAA-DK) considers that action is
required to maintain airworthiness at the level of safety specified in the certification, the
mandatory nature of such action is confirmed by the issue of an Airworthiness Directive
(Luftdygtighedsdirektiv (LDD));

b) the Airworthiness Directives specify, among other things, the type of products (aircraft,
engine, propeller) and appliances involved, the nature of the inspections, modifications to
be carried out or the limitations to be complied with and the time limits for compliance; and

c) the Airworthiness Directives are mandatory and, pursuant to the provisions relating to the
issue and continued validity of the Certificate of Airworthiness, the aircraft concerned is not
airworthy unless it has fully and satisfactorily complied with the Directives within the time
limits specified.

2. Aircraft of foreign manufacturer

a) unless otherwise decided by the CAA-DK, the Airworthiness Directives issued by the State
of Manufacture, e.g. the Airworthiness Directives of the FAA, apply in respect of the
aircraft concerned that have been entered on the Danish Register. These Directives are
furthermore systematically reissued in the form of Danish Airworthiness Directives
whenever they affect several Danish users;

b) it is the responsibility of the owner/users of the aircraft to procure from the manufacturer
the technical information required for compliance with the Airworthiness Directives; and

c) moreover, the CAA-DK may decide, in the light of the information gathered and the
situation in Denmark, that certain measures that have not been or will not be considered as
Airworthiness Directives by the Airworthiness Authorities of the State of Origin shall
become mandatory in Denmark. These measures are therefore the subject of Airworthiness
Directives within the terms specified above, bearing in mind the usual applicability
conditions.
DENMARK 99

3. Publication of Airworthiness Directives

a) the CAA-DK has the task of publishing and disseminating Airworthiness Directives;

b) a list of issued Airworthiness Directives is issued monthly. Subscriptions to the

Airworthiness Directives are accepted;

c) the CAA-DK is responsible for the dissemination of Airworthiness Directives concerning

equipment of Danish manufacture to the type certification authorities of the States to which
corresponding Danish equipment has been exported, provided it is informed of the
exportation; and

d) Airworthiness Directives are disseminated by e-mail or facsimile in addition to a biweekly

updating on the Civil Aviation Administration - Denmark’s web site http://www.slv.dk.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

National laws require all operators of aircraft on the Danish register to report faults, defects and
malfunctions affecting the airworthiness of the aircraft cf. Regulations for Civil Aviation (BL) no.8-10.

No special conditions

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

1. Mandatory modifications and inspections to insure the continuing airworthiness of aircraft registered
in Finland and for engines, propellers and equipment used in these aircraft are generally issued as Finnish
Airworthiness Directives (FAD) (”Lentokelpoisuusmääräys” for the Finnish language edition and
”Luftvärdighetsdirektiv” for the Swedish language edition) in the following cases:

a) a foreign Airworthiness Directive or its equivalent, issued by the State of Design for an
aircraft registered in Finland or for aircraft engines, propellers or equipment used in Finland,
is regularly issued as a FAD;

b) as a result of experience gained in operation or maintenance of the aircraft, the Flight Safety
Authority may deem it necessary, in the light of flight safety, to issue a FAD; and
FINLAND 119

c) When a modification introduced by a Service Bulletin or equivalent issued by the

manufacturer is, in the light of experience gained in Finland, considered mandatory, it is
issued as a FAD. Inspections and airworthiness limitations introduced by Service Bulletins
are considered to be part of the aircraft maintenance schedule and are therefore considered
to be mandatory even without a FAD.

2. Foreign Airworthiness Directives for large aircraft (over 5700 kg maximum take-off weight)
registered in Finland, and for engines, propellers and equipment used in these are generally not issued as
FADs. The operator of these aeroplanes is instead required to establish a procedure for gaining the original
foreign Airworthiness Directive. Compliance with the foreign AD is mandatory.

3. FADs are distributed at no cost by mail, or in case of urgency by facsimile, to registered owners and
operators of the aircraft and aircraft maintenance organizations. They are also published on the Flight Safety
Authority’s Internet site http://www.lentoturvalisuusshallinto.fi.

4. A summary of current FADs is published in the Flight Safety Authority Advisory Circular AIR T14-
2, which is revised annually. Ann up-to-date summary is available at the Internet site.

5. FADs for aircraft of Finnish design are distributed by mail, or in case of urgency, by facsimile or e-
mail to the airworthiness authorities of States having notified Finland that they have aircraft of Finnish
design on their register.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

Operators of aircraft on the Finnish register and maintenance organizations are required to report to
the Flight Safety Authority faults, defects and malfunctions affecting the airworthiness of the aircraft. When
deemed necessary, the Flight Safety Authority forwards this information by mail, or in case of urgency, by
facsimile or e-mail, to the airworthiness authority of the State of design of the aircraft. This applies also to
the results of aircraft accident investigations.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

General Case

a) When the DGCA considers that an action is required to maintain airworthiness at the level
of safety specified during certification, the mandatory nature of such an action is confirmed
by the publication of an Airworthiness Directive;

b) The Airworthiness Directives specify, inter alia, the type of product involved (aircraft,
engine or propeller), the nature of the inspections, the modifications to be made or the
limitations to be complied with, as well as the time limits associated with these actions; and

c) The Airworthiness Directives are mandatory and, in accordance with the provisions relating
to the issue and validity of the Certificate of Airworthiness, the product concerned (aircraft,
engine or propeller) is not airworthy until the Airworthiness Directives have been followed
within the time limits specified.

Products of foreign manufacture

a) Unless the French DGCA decides otherwise, the Airworthiness Directives issued by the
State of Manufacture, for example the Airworthiness Directives of the FAA, are made
applicable to the products concerned that are entered on the French Register. Thus, these
Airworthiness Directives are systematically reissued in the form of French Airworthiness
Directives;

b) It is the responsibility of the users of the product to secure from the manufacturer (or the
manufacturer’s representatives in France) the technical information required for compliance
with the Airworthiness Directives; and

c) Moreover, the DGCA may decide, in view of the information known and the situation in
France, to make mandatory in France certain measures that have not been and will not be
considered as Airworthiness Directives by the airworthiness authorities of the State of
Origin. These measures are therefore the subject of Airworthiness Directives in the terms
described above, bearing in mind the usual applicability conditions.

Publication of Airworthiness Directives

a) The DGCA has delegated the task of publishing and disseminating Airworthiness Directives
to the GSAC (Groupement pour la Sécurité de l’Aviation Civile, 72/78 Grande rue, 92314
Sèvres Cedex; tel.: +33-1-46-90-48-00; fax.: +33-1-46-90-48-48;

b) The Airworthiness Directives are sent to the subscribers of the aeronautical documentation.
Subscription to the Airworthiness Directives alone is also accepted. The ADs are available
in paper, CD-ROM and on the Internet (http://www.gsac.fr)
122 FRANCE

c) The GSAC is responsible for the dissemination of the Airworthiness Directives concerning
equipment of French manufacture to the type certification authorities of the States to which
the corresponding equipment has been exported, provided that the GSAC has been informed
of the exportation; and

d) Where urgency warrants it, the Airworthiness Directives are disseminated by fax by the
DGCA or the GSAC, as the case may be. These ADS are also available on the Internet
(http://www.gsac.fr).

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

France does not systematically disseminate internationally reports of faults, defects and malfunctions
found in the aircraft operated or designed in France.

The faults, defects and malfunctions found in aircraft operated in France are reported under French
regulations to the Bureau Enquête Accident which sends to the DGCA any information considered useful.
The DGCA informs the State of Design of these incidents when it considers that airworthiness is involved
because of a design or manufacturing problem.

The faults, defects and malfunctions found in aircraft of French design are reported by the
manufacturer to the DGCA under JAR 21 in force in France since 28 June 1996, inter alia with regard to
airworthiness monitoring. The DGCA publishes an Airworthiness Directive when it considers after an
analysis of these incidents that airworthiness is involved.

1. The authority prescribes special conditions for a product, if the airworthiness requirements
of the relevant JAR do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the product because:

a) the product has novel or unusual design features relative to the design practices on
which the applicable JAR is based; or

b) the intended use of the product is unconventional; or

c) experience from other similar products in service or products having similar design
features, has shown that unsafe conditions may develop

2. The special conditions contain such safety standards as the authority finds necessary to

132 GERMANY

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

The Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA — Federal Office of Civil Aviation) will arrange for the
necessary airworthiness actions by the issue of “Luftüchtigkeitsanweisungen” (LTAs — Airworthiness
Directives ADs)) if during operation of an aircraft faults, malfunctions, defects or other occurrences which
have or might have adverse effects on the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft have been detected or
reported.

The AD indicates the kind of aeronautical product involved, the manufacturer, the type, the
models affected, the serial numbers affected and the German type certificate number. The inspections and
modifications to be carried out, the limitations to be complied with, the reasons for the Directive and the
deadline for the accomplishment of the actions of the AD are specified. The AD mostly refers to
manufacturers’ bulletins or ADs issued by foreign authorities.

The AD is mandatory and the aircraft concerned is not airworthy until the actions of the AD
have been accomplished.

Reasons for issuing ADs

Concerning aircraft designed in Germany:

1. The approved design organization responsible for this type of aircraft has indicated
to the LBA that there are faults, malfunctions or defects which have or might have
adverse effects on the continuing airworthiness of an aircraft.

2. The “Bundensstelle für flugunfalluntersuchung (BFU - German Federal Bureau of

Aircraft accidents investigation authority) has indicated to the LBA that an aircraft
has faults, malfunctions or defects and recommends corrective actions.

3. The LBA has received reports on incidents during operation which require
immediate action

Concerning foreign manufactured aircraft for which a German type certificate has been issued:

1. An AD has been issued by the authority of the State of Design or another

contracting State or a Service Bulletin has been prepared by a foreign manufacturer
which is mandatory in the State of the manufacturer. The LBA then decides,
depending on the information available and the kind of operation and/or
maintenance being performed in Germany etc., whether measures will or will not
become mandatory in Germany.

2. The LBA has reason to believe that an unsafe condition exists due to the nature of
an SB prepared by a foreign manufacturer even though the authority of the State of
Design did not issue a corresponding AD.

3. The BFU has indicated to the LBA that an aircraft has faults, malfunctions or
defects; or the LBA has received reports on incidents during operation which
require immediate action.
GERMANY 133

Note: For foreign manufactured aircraft, type certificated in Germany, the LBA issues ADs as long as these
aircraft remain on its register. For aircraft manufactured in Germany, however, the LBA issues ADS
as long as the affected aircraft are operated under any register

Publication of ADs

Individual ADs issued by the LBA and a list of all ADs are published in:

Nachrichten für Luftfahrer (NfL), Teil II (News to Airmen Part II)

NfLs are available at:

Verlag R. Eisenschmidt GmbH

Postfach 110761
D-60327 Frankfurt
Germany

Telephone: +49-69-730-6040
Facsimile: +49-69-739-1321

Any person/organization interested in the various ADs should subscribe to the “Nachrichten
für Luftfahrer, Teil II”. In general, the ADs are published in German but for aircraft designed in Germany
English versions will also be available.

Methods of Exchanging information with other States

The LBA is responsible for the transmission of ADs to the authorities of all Contracting
States. If Germany is the State of Design and the LBA has prepared an AD, the LBA will inform each
Contracting State, which has advised the LBA to do so, and in which that aircraft is registered. If Germany
is not the State of Design, the LBA will transmit its AD (LTA) to the State of Design. ADs will be
distributed by mail except when circumstances require immediate action. In such cases ADs will be
distributed by facsimile or e-mail.

Hungary is not a manufacturing State of any type of aircraft at present and therefore does
not originate Airworthiness Directives for dissemination to other States. However, such Directives are
received from major aircraft manufacturing States, e.g. former Soviet Union countries, former
Czechoslovakia, Poland, United Kingdom and the United States. Such ADs are issued partly by
manufacturers and trade organizations, partly by aviation authorities. These ADs are received from the
operators as well.

When a mandatory AD or modification is involved concerning flight safety, modification

of overhaul lives, maintenance schedule or flight Manual, etc., the CAA approves them and declares them
mandatory. These mandatory modifications/inspections are brought to the attention of the operators.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

Overhauls of aircraft operated by MALEV Hungarian Airlines are made in the State of
Manufacture or approved maintenance organizations. In case of failures experienced during the operation
and exceeding the permitted magnitude it is the operators duty to inform the manufacturer. Periodical
consultations between the aircraft manufacturer and operator are arranged in order to transmit information
on experience gained during the operation of the aircraft.

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Airworthiness Code(s)

Ireland requires certification to Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs.) However, for older
aircraft types, or where JAR certification is not available, Ireland accepts US Federal Aviation Regulations
(FARs) and British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCARs) for aircraft type certification (TC) purposes.
The applicability of the latter codes is related to the date of the relevant application for type certification, i.e.
the latter codes are acceptable only for older aircraft for which the date of application for TC predates 1990.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

Ireland does not manufacture aircraft and accordingly airworthiness directives are not
normally issued for production aircraft. Where it is considered, however, that an airworthiness directive
would be desirable, the Authority will communicate that to the State of manufacture concerned, either
directly or through the JAA system (see item D below). There is provision for the issuance of airworthiness
directives in the form of notices in the series “Notices to Aircraft Owners and Aircraft Engineers” which are
promulgated to the industry and may additionally be obtained from the Authority at A) above.

Irish legislation requires mandatory compliance by aircraft owners or operators with

airworthiness directives (ADs) issued by States of manufacture for aviation products. The Aviation authority
also monitors all such ADs of relevance to aircraft or products on the Irish register and checks compliance
when renewing certificates of airworthiness. ADs of a general nature are brought to the attention of the Irish
industry by Notice as above or, exceptionally, by direct contact with an aircraft owner/operator. This would
also apply where urgent ADs are received directly by the Authority for immediate action from a State of
manufacture.
IRELAND 159

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

Irish operators and maintainers are required to report to the responsible design organization
all airworthiness defects which occur on their aircraft in accordance with Annex 8. The Authority also
monitors such reports from operators and maintainers and will communicate significant issues directly to the
State of manufacture concerned as necessary. There is, additionally, a communication route through the Joint
Aviation Authorities (JAA) system which allocates areas of type airworthiness responsibility to the
authorities of particular JAA member States. Exceptionally, the Authority may communicate directly with
a manufacturer, or with the certification agency of the State of manufacture, where particular problems might
be encountered with an aircraft type.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

1. Italian Airworthiness Directives are published by ENAC using a standardised form. They
may originate from:

a) ENAC determination that an unsafe condition, affecting the continuing

airworthiness of an aircraft/product, requires a mandatory corrective action (usually
for aircraft/products designed in Italy, Airworthiness Directives are issued on the
basis of Service Bulletins).
b) Airworthiness Directive or equivalent document issued by the authority of the State
of Design (for aircraft/products designed abroad and registered in Italy).
164 ITALY

Airworthiness Directives concerning aircraft/products designed in Italy include full

translation in English.

Usually reference is made to the relevant designer’s Service Bulletin and/or foreign
Airworthiness Directive, as applicable

2. Airworthiness Directives are mailed directly by ENAC, free of charge to:

a) Italian owners/operators/maintenance organizations in relation to specific

aircraft/product;
b) authority of any foreign country to which an aircraft designed in Italy has been
exported, or having notified ENAC that an aircraft designed in Italy is registered in
that country;
c) foreign authority of the State of Design of the aircraft/product concerned, if the AD
action has been originated in Italy by subscription to:
d) any person on request.

ADs are sent using the Italian National Electronic Mail System (POSTEL). When urgency
warrants an accelerated procedure is adopted within the same system. Any advance information by cable or
phone is followed by official AD.

3. The name of individual airworthiness Directive is “Prescrizione di Aeronavigabilita”.

Quarterly summaries are published and sent via POSTEL to all ADs recipients. Annual summaries are
published and sent via ordinary mail services to all ADs recipients.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

The reporting of malfunctions, failures or other technical defects are made by flight crew,
by maintenance personnel during routine checks and scheduled and unscheduled maintenance

Normally only major defects are notified to the authority. For major defect is intended a
defect that reduces the safety of aircraft.

At the present, in Italy the Italian operators of large and small aircraft, in accordance with
ENAC Technical Rules, are required to inform ENAC of every damage to the aircraft structure and of
significant malfunctions and failures of aircraft engines, system or equipment when the circumstances of the
failure or its association with other failures introduce hazards to continue flight and subsequent landing. A
form called “Segnalazione d’inconveniente” (Aircraft incident report) is filled in such occurrences which
cause or might cause an adverse effect on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft. The report describes the
defect or failure as completely as possible and includes all other relevant data.

According to the JAR 145 rule, a company, approved for maintenance of aircraft, or of
components and equipment thereof, shall report any major defect or failure, discovered during maintenance
in an aircraft, component or equipment, as soon as possible but in any case within three days after it has been
discovered.

ENAC informs the Airworthiness Authority of the country of the designer’s by letter asking
to investigate with the aircraft or engine manufacturer the problem and informing them also of the results of
ITALY 165

ENAC preliminary investigation. The present system also includes the sending of technical documentation
and/or damaged parts to the manufacturer for investigation when the need arises for follow-up action.

In addition to ENAC actions, Italian operators of large aircraft keep the manufacturer
informed of significant damage to the structure and significant malfunctions related to Part II, Section 1 of
the ICAO Airworthiness Technical Manual.

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Airworthiness Code(s)

The issuance and validation of Certificates of Airworthiness is based on the Jordanian Civil Aviation Law
of 1985 amendments; together with the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulations which are based on that law.

Special Conditions

No information provided.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

As far as the method used for handling airworthiness directives. It could be explained simply since
the aircarrier is the one responsible for implementing them, but surveillance and inspection on their
implementation is handled by Aviation Safety Inspectors from CAA.

Both the aircarrier and the CAA are receiving separately those Airworthiness Directives issued by
the manufacturing States. Exchanging information with other Contracting States on continuing airworthiness
matters is accomplished through FAA, and DGAC (France).

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Airworthiness Code(s)

DAC procedure AIR 07 issued in 2000 states that type certification recognized by Luxembourg is:

JAA type certification if it exists; if not,

JAA “catch up type certification” if it exists; if not,

State of aircraft manufacturer type certification. State of aircraft manufacturer recognized by

Luxembourg are members of European Community plus USA, Canada, Brazil.

In other cases, special Ministerial authorization is required.

Special Conditions

None.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

DAC procedure AIR 05 issued in 1999 defines how DAC manages operators AD information.

- Operators who are AOC approved have to subscribe aircraft manufacturer AD/SB data files. This
point is required in the Maintenance Management Exposition (MME). DAC verifies subscriptions through
audits which are carried out each year.

- All other operators (general aviation) are informed by DAC, who forwards AD’s received from
States of aircraft/component manufacturers to them.

- Type certification States are informed when a new type of aircraft is registered in Luxembourg.

- Once a year, a summary of type certification aircraft registered in Luxembourg is issued to Type
certification States concerned.
LUXEMBOURG 191

DAC procedure AIR 05 defines how type certification States are kept informed.

Luxembourg has about 239 aircraft (aeroplanes, helicopters, balloons, etc.), of which 41 aeroplanes
weigh over 10 tonnes and about 103 weigh less than 10 tonnes. In all, 156 aeroplane types are represented.

DCA subscribes to the airworthiness directives concerning aeroplanes and engines from certificating
States for the fleet types registered in Luxembourg.

Bureau Véritas, which is contractually responsible for monitoring the operators on site, checks
periodically to see how well these directives are being handled. These checks are based on JAA requirements
on operation and airworthiness (JAROPS/1A3-JAR145).

In other cases and mainly for general aviation, DAC has proof that operators receive and use
airworthiness directives within the time allowed.

- AD’s are reissued by fax and the dates of reissue can be checked.

- Certificate of airworthiness renewal implies Bureau Veritas inspections, in which airworthiness

management is checked.

- DAC has defined a new type of survey for twin engine jet aircraft classified in “general aviation”.
This category implies one inspection per year based on airworthiness requirements close to JAR OPS sub
part M requirements.

JAR 145 accredited workshops subscribe to the airworthiness directives relating to the fleet lists
which they accredit. DCA verifies these subscriptions.

In case No. 2 and owing to the limited number of aircraft registered in Luxembourg, DCA faxes the
documents it receives to the operators. This procedure guarantees continuity in the information chain.

The Luxembourg DCA does not have the ability to manage either the effectivity of all the equipment
on registered aeroplanes or the corresponding subscriptions.

In addition, equipment-related airworthiness directives do not always identify the superior assemblies
on which the equipment is installed.

It should be noted, however, that some general aviation aeroplane manufacturers use the
airworthiness directives issued by equipment manufacturers.

The handling of these directives is therefore not satisfactory in Luxembourg at present and it is
realistic to think that this is also the case in other States.
192 LUXEMBOURG

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

DCA has made Bureau Véritas France contractually responsible for the continuous on-site monitoring
of the operators. The Bureau Véritas office in charge of Luxembourg company monitoring is a subsidiary
of Bureau Véritas France fully dedicated to DAC needs. Staff is 4 persons for inspections.

The faults and defects observed and collected by BV are transmitted to BV’s Technical Division in
Paris, which analyses and summarizes the facts observed. It is BV’s Technical Division which informs the
certificating States, if necessary.

DCA Luxembourg is kept informed at each of the stages.

Airworthiness Code(s)

1. As a full member of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), all published Joint Aviation Requirements
(JAR’s) are applicable. These JAR’s are mandated by legal Notices 203 of 1998, and 190 of 2002.

2. In cases where JAA rules do not apply, Malta Civil Aviation Requirements (MCAR’s) are applicable.
These requirements are modelled upon the UKCAA British Civil Airworthiness Requirements
(BCAR) examples.

3. In other cases, which are the exception, the recognition of mature certification and airworthiness
requirements codes of other ICAO contracting states could be considered and applied.

Special Conditions

Prior to the issue of a Republic of Malta Certificate of Airworthiness, all imported aircraft with a Maximum
Certified Take-Off mass in excess of 2,730 (6,00 lbs) must be the subject of either Malta type certificate
validation, or the JAA Joint Certification Process. Where additional special conditions are applicable,
reference should be made to JAA Administration and Guidance Material, Section Three Certification, Part
4 Registers. However, the Malta Department of Civil Aviation Airworthiness Inspectorate should be contacted
first in all cases.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

The Republic of Malta is not a manufacturing state for any aircraft or aeronautical product. All Airworthiness
Directives, or their equivalent issued by airworthiness Authority of the State of Manufacture of the aircraft,
or component are mandatory for aircraft on the Republic of Malta Civil Aircraft Register. Service Bulletins
classified as mandatory by the aircraft/equipment manufacturer are also applicable to aircraft on the Maltese
Register. Additionally, those Airworthiness Directives issued by other ICAO Contracting States, in respect
of the same types of aircraft as those on the Republic of Malta Civil Register are also reviewed and evaluated
on a regular basis. Should the need arise, the Director General of Civil Aviation will issue a Directive to
comply with any Service Bulletin not made mandatory by the State of Manufacture, or to correct any identified
MALTA 201

‘unsafe condition affecting the continued airworthiness of a aircraft, or aeronautical product on the civil
register.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

The mandatory reporting of accidents, incidents and occurrences is provided for and required under the Malta
Air Navigation Order, 1990, JAR-145 and JAR-OPS requirements. All reports received by the Malta
Department of Civil Aviation are logged and reviewed. Depending upon the nature of each reported event,
notification could be given of further investigation. The responsible type certificate holder, the Airworthiness
Authority of the State of Manufacture, or the contracted maintenance/repair organisation will be notified as
determined from the Department of Civil Aviation review, in order to comply with the ICAO Annex 8, Part
1, Chapter 4, Standards.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

Since Mauritius is not a State of manufacture, it does not issue its own airworthiness directives. It
does, however, have a system for re-issuing airworthiness directives originating from the regulatory authorities
of States in which manufacture has been carried out.

Mauritius also ensures that all airworthiness contracts relating to Mauritius registered aircraft includes
clause placing responsibility upon the relevant maintenance organisations for the implementation of such
directives and mandatory modifications.

In the case of aircraft that are registered in Mauritius but not normally based in the state, such as those
operated under the Mauritius Government’s Offshore Business Development Scheme, Mauritius re-issues all
airworthiness directives and related safety information direct to the aircraft operator.
MAURITIUS 205

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

A mandatory occurrence reporting procedure is promulgated under Regulation 101 of the Civil
Aviation Regulations 1986 and this is expanded upon in the Sixth Schedule of the same Regulations. The
Civil Airworthiness Requirements (Mauritius) provide further explanatory material and they also place upon
aircraft operators a responsibility for the speedy investigation and regular analysis of reported occurrences.
The scheme applies to all Mauritius-registered aircraft certificated in the public transport category and of
maximum total mass authorised greater than 2300 kg.

The legislation specifies the following types of occurrence as “reportable”:

— those involving damage to an aircraft

— those involving injury to a person
— those involving the incapacitation or partial incapacitation of a flight crew member
— situation which required the use of in-flight emergency procedures
— failures of aircraft systems or equipment
— problems in the control of an aircraft in flight
— failures or inadequacies of ground facilities or services connected with the operation of aircraft
— occurrences arising from the loading or carriage of passengers, cargo, mail or fuel
— any other occurrences which, in the opinion of a person required to report, could have endangered or,
if not corrected could have endangered, the safety of an aircraft, its occupants or any other person.

The legislation goes on to explain more fully what is meant by an aircraft system and it includes a list of
details that are to be included on an occurrence report. It also states that occurrence reports must be
dispatched in writing within 96 hours of the reportable occurrence coming to the knowledge of the person
required to make the report.

In the Civil Airworthiness Requirements, the purpose of the scheme is stated as being to determine the cause
of an occurrence rather than to apportion blame.

Air Mauritius is the only civil aircraft operator based within the State of Mauritius. Arrangements currently
in place require that operator’s maintenance organisation to send full details of an exceptional safety related
occurrences direct to the manufacturer and to the regulatory authority of the State of Manufacture. This
system is monitored by the Mauritius Department of Civil Aviation during routine airworthiness audits.

Mauritius does not publish a document in which details of individual directives and summaries are to be
found. These details are held on Department of Civil Aviation files, which may be made available for
inspection by any person having a bona fide reason for making that inspection.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

Every air service operator must inform the Director of Civil Aeronautics of any incident, failure,
malfunction or fault found on an aircraft or an aircraft part operated by the operator when this incident,
failure, malfunction or fault is likely to jeopardize the airworthiness of the aircraft.

Operators are particularly requested to send in a report on an incident that has a value for the
improvement of safety at the level of the design, operation and maintenance of aircraft, it being known that
cases of normal wear and tear are dealt with by the maintenance procedures.

Minor incidents which, if repeated, could jeopardize airworthiness must also be reported.

The report on the events must make it possible to determine the circumstances, nature, certain or
probable causes and operational and material consequences of the events, as well as to identify the equipment
involved.

The physical medium used for sending incident reports may be:

- either an internal technical report;

- or an incident report form established by manufacturers or operators for their own usage.

The operator has to submit the reports within one month.

224 MOROCCO

With respect to aircraft whose maximum certificated take-off mass is greater than 5 700 kg, the
operator must send to the manufacturers of that aircraft information on faults, malfunctions, defects and other
cases which have or could have an unfavourable effect on the continuing airworthiness of that aircraft.

Netherlands Airworthiness Requirements primarily based on JAR and FAR

Special Conditions

Details provided in Netherlands Airworthiness Requirements

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

The Civil Aviation Authority Netherlands (CAA-NL) receives ADs (Airworthiness Directives) pertaining
to:

a) Aircraft types and models currently on the Dutch Register, from the countries of origin of
the affected aircraft;

b) engines and propellers as installed on aircraft types and models currently on the Dutch
Register, from the countries of origin of the affected engines, resp. propellers; and

c) appliances, from the countries of origin of the affected products.

The procedure that the Civil Aviation Authority Netherlands (CAA-NL) currently follows is stated
in their Airworthiness Directives (BLA) nr.: 1992-085/2, dated April 29, 1994, a copy of which is enclosed.

In short, operators of “Transport” category aircraft are required to comply with each AD, applicable
to and issued by the Authority of the country of origin of the affected aircraft; for large turbofan engines,
compliance is required with each AD, applicable to and issued by the Authority of the country of origin of
the affected engine. CAA-NL does not, in principle, issue each of these AD’s as BLA, but reserves the right
to do so, should the need arise.
232 NETHERLANDS

In practice, CAA-NL does issue BLAs covering ADs pertaining to small air planes,
helicopters, and engines, including thse that may be installed in, but not limited to, large air planes; CAA-NL
also issues BLAs covering each AD applicable to propellers (except where it is known that the affected
propeller type/model is not installed in any aircraft registered in the Netherlands, nor is it likely to be in the
foreseeable future) and appliances. In principle, CAA-NL does not issue as BLA any ADs other than those
issued by the country of origin of the “product” (aircraft, engine, propeller, etc.) to which it applies, but
reserves the right to do so, should the need arise.

CAA-NL currently maintains close contact with Authorities of some ten (10) countries to
ensure the continued supply of their airworthiness directives and information. Also, aviation authorities of
more than 85 countries regularly receive ADs (BLAs) pertaining to “large” aircraft, as published by CAA-NL,
which includes Fokker-manufactured aircraft, but may, incidentally, include an AD applicable to appliances
manufactured in the Netherlands and certified by CAA-NL. To this end, CAA-NL holds facsimile numbers
for most, if not all, of these authorities.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

Reporting is done by the maintenance and production organizations to the design

organizations and to the National Authority, operators report technical incidents to the National Authority,
all in accordance with JAR procedures.

A. NAME AND ADDRESS OF AUTHORITY RESPONSIBLE

FOR CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS

(The Directorate of Civil Aviation of the Niger, through the Technical Operations Department and its Aircraft
Division, is responsible for continuing airworthiness. However, by Decree No. 67-070/MTP/T/MU of 12
June 1967, the Niger delegated to Bureau Véritas the task of supervising the issue and maintenance of the
certificates of airworthiness, manufacture and classification of the aircraft registered in the Niger.) The

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Airworthiness Code(s)

Since the Niger does not have its own airworthiness code, it has adopted FAR and JAR or codes of other
Member States of ICAO, after evaluation in each case, for the issue or validation of certificates of
airworthiness.

Special Conditions

No information provided.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

The airworthiness directives of aircraft manufacturing countries are collected and, if need be,
translated and summarized. Then they are consolidated in the aeronautical documentation of Bureau Véritas.
In this documentation, the directives or summaries thereof, as well as corrigenda thereto, are classified by
make and type of aircraft according to a list which facilitates the checking of the document and keeping it up-
to-date.

Aircraft owners and foreign airworthiness authorities wishing to be informed as soon as possible of
the airworthiness directives issued by the DGCAs of manufacturing States must subscribe to the aeronautical
documentation of Bureau Véritas.
NIGER 239

Furthermore, when the Directorate of Civil Aviation of the Niger receives the airworthiness directives
from the agencies of the main manufacturing countries, such as the FAA and CAA, it also ensures in parallel
with the operators the applicability thereof to the aircraft registered in the Niger.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

To date, the Niger has not adopted a system for the international reporting of faults, defects and
malfunctions. Only accident investigation reports are disseminated to interested parties. On a smaller scale,
incident reports are exchanged among the Directorate of Civil Aviation, operators and ASECNA.
Furthermore, reports and information on incidents occurring during operations are exchanged between
manufacturers and operators.

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Airworthiness Code(s)

In accordance with Regulation 3922/91 of the European Union, Spain uses the following
Airworthiness Codes:

1) Definitions and abbreviations: JAR-1;

2) Gliders and motorized gliders: JAR-22;

3) Large aircraft: JAR-25 (including JAR-AWO for certification of aircraft for all-weather
operations);

4) Engines: JAR-E;

5) Propellers: JAR-P;

6) Auxiliary power units: JAR-APU;

7) Technical standards orders: JAR-TSO;

8) Very light aircraft: JAR-VLA;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for aircraft whose original type certificate was issued before
16 December 1991 (the date upon which Regulation 3922/91 entered into force), the corresponding FAR
codes are still accepted (FAR-1, FAR-25, FAR-33, FAR-35).

For other products not yet covered by EU Regulation 3922/91, Spain uses the following airworthiness
codes:

9) Normal, utility, acrobatic and regional transport category aircraft: JAR-23 (FAR-23 also
accepted);
306 SPAIN

10) Small rotary-wing aircraft: JAR-27 (FAR-27 also accepted);

11) Large rotary-wing aircraft: JAR-29 (FAR-29 also accepted).

Special Conditions

1. The aircraft type in question must have been registered previously in Spain or have an airworthiness
type certificate for import issued by the DGCA (certain specific cases are exempt from this requirement).

2. The individual aircraft must have a certificate of airworthiness for export issued by the airworthiness
authority of the State of origin or, failing that, a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by that authority.
In addition, in order for a certificate of airworthiness to be issued by the DGCA, the aircraft must have been
registered in Spain in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations for the Registration of Aircraft and
undergo the inspection procedures established by the DGCA.

3. The “Special Requirements for the Importation of Aircraft from the United States of America” are
contained in FAA Advisory Circular 21-2H. The “Special Requirements for the Importation of Aircraft” from
other States are similar and may be obtained from the DGCA upon request.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

Before 1 April 1988, the mandatory information related to the continuing airworthiness of aircraft
manufactured in Spain consisted of Service Bulletins published by the manufacturer concerned and declared
mandatory by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

After 1 April 1988, such information was published by the DGCA in the form of Airworthiness
Directives, which could refer to documentation published by the manufacturer in the form of Service
Bulletins, Service Letters, Communiqués, etc.

Airworthiness Directives were sent by mail to all Spanish operators of the aircraft concerned, to the
authorities of those States that had notified the DGCA that they had Spanish-manufactured aircraft on their
registries, and to any other States that had expressed an interest in receiving the Directives. In addition, there
is a Memorandum of Understanding with the DGCA of the Republic of Indonesia, where aircraft of Spanish
design have been manufactured under licence and joint aircraft programmes have been maintained, for the
exchange of continuing airworthiness information on those products.

Finally, Airworthiness Directives are also sent to foreign operators who have Spanish-manufactured
aircraft and have informed the DGCA of their interest.

Urgent Airworthiness Directives are distributed by fax.

An index of all Airworthiness Directives issued by the DGCA is published periodically.

With regard to aircraft manufactured abroad, Airworthiness Directives issued by the airworthiness
authority of the State of Design/Manufacture are mandatory.

In addition, if the information received and the situation in Spain so warrant, the DGCA may decide
to make mandatory certain measures that had not been or were going to be declared mandatory by the
airworthiness authority of the State of Design/Manufacture. Such measures are the subject of specific
SPAIN 307

Airworthiness Directives, which are distributed to Spanish operators of the aircraft in question, the
airworthiness authority of the State of Design/Manufacture, and all other authorities with which Spain has
agreements to that effect (JAA).

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

The operators of transport aircraft are required to submit a report whenever one of their aircraft
experiences a technical incident, so that conditions that may compromise airworthiness can be properly and
promptly corrected.

For this purpose, an aircraft technical incident is considered to be any type of technical anomaly
detected in the equipment during operation which significantly affects its potential airworthiness.

Reportable failures/anomalies are:

1. Engine failure in flight, with or without restart;

2. In-flight fire or smoke; warning system functioned properly;

3. False fire warning during flight;

4. In-flight fire or smoke in an area not protected by a warning system or in which the warning
system did not function properly;

5. Failure of the fuel system in a way that affected the fuel flow or caused hazardous leakage
during flight;

6. Landing gear defects. Malfunctions in extension and retraction, in opening or closing

landing gear doors or in shock absorbers;

7. Failure of braking system components, resulting in loss of braking power on the ground;

8. Failure of the aircraft structure requiring major repair;

9. In-flight depressurization;

10. Mechanical failure necessitating an interruption of flight or shutdown on the ground;

11. Mechanical failure necessitating the execution of an emergency procedure;

12. Separation of tire tread or blowout;

13. Broken wheel rim.

Public passenger and cargo carriers must, within 7 days of the incident, submit a preliminary report
(see Form 3701A in Attachment II) to the DGCA regional office responsible for the Company’s main base.

Within 3 months of the technical incident, the public passenger and cargo carrier must submit the
final report.
308 SPAIN

The regional offices of the DGCA transmit the Preliminary Technical Incident Reports to the Central
Services, which analyse them and in turn transmit the information to the organization responsible for the type
design, through the airworthiness authority of the State of Design.

Organizations responsible for the type designs of aircraft over 5700 kg, in order to be approved as
Design Organizations, must have established a procedure to inform the DGCA of the following anomalies:

1. Fires resulting from failures, malfunctions or defects in systems or equipment;

2. Failure, malfunction or defect in engine exhaust system that damages the engine, adjacent
aircraft structure, equipment or components;

3. Accumulation of toxic or noxious gases in the cockpit or passenger cabin;

4. Malfunction, failure or defect in the propeller control system;

5. Structural failure of the blade or hub of a propeller or rotor;

6. Leakage of flammable liquid in areas where there is normally a source of ignition;

7. Braking system failure caused by material or structural failure during operation;

8. Failure or significant defect in the primary structure caused by any autogenous condition
(fatigue, low resistence of material, corrosion, etc.);

9. Any abnormal vibration or buffeting produced by a failure, defect or malfunction in the

structure or system;

10. Engine failure;

11. Any malfunction, defect or failure in the structure or control system which interferes with
the normal control of the aeroplane and degrades flight qualities;

12. Complete loss of more than one electrical generating system or hydraulic pressure system
during a given operation;

13. Failure or malfunction of more than one attitude, airspeed or altitude instrument during a
given operation.

The DGCA of the Kingdom of Spain has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the
DGCA of the Republic of Indonesia for the exchange of information on the continuing airworthiness of the
CASA C-212, manufactured under licence in Indonesia, and the CASA CN-235 and IPTN CN-235, which
are the products of a joint programme involving the industries of the two countries.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

1. General Case:

a) When the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic of Macedonia considers that action
is required to maintain airworthiness at the level of safety specified in the certification, the
mandatory nature of such action is confirmed by the issue of an Airworthiness Directive;

b) The Airworthiness Directives specify among other things, the type of products (aircraft,
engine, propeller) and appliances involved, the nature of the inspections, modifications to
be carried out or the limitations to be complied with and the time limits for compliance;

c) The Airworthiness Directives are mandatory and, pursuant to the provisions relating to the
issue and continued validity of the Certificate of Airworthiness, the aircraft concerned is not
airworthy unless it has fully and satisfactorily complied with the Directives within the time
limits specified.

2. Aircraft of foreign manufacturer

a) Unless otherwise decided by the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic of

Macedonia, the Airworthiness Directives issued by the state of manufacture e.g. the
Airworthiness Directives of the United States FAA, apply in respect of the aircraft concerned
that have been entered on the Macedonian Register, These Directives are furthermore
systematically reissued in the form of Macedonian Airworthiness Directives whenever they
affect several Macedonian users;

b) It is the responsibility of the owner/users of the aircraft to procure from the manufacturer the
technical information required for compliance with the Airworthiness Directives;

c) Moreover, the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic of Macedonia may decide, in
the light of the information gathered and the situation in Macedonia, that certain measures
that have not been or will not be considered as Airworthiness Directives by the
Airworthiness Authorities of the State of origin shall become mandatory in Macedonia.
These measures are therefore the subject of Airworthiness Directives within the terms
specified above, bearing in mind the usual applicability conditions;
330 THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

B. AIRWORTHINESS CODE(S) AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OR

VALIDATION OF CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS

Airworthiness Code(s)

The airworthiness regulatory framework consists of a set of texts (decree, order and circulars), which
are currently under review.

The current framework includes the following texts in particular:

a) Decree No. 59-201 of 4 July 1959 governing air navigation;

b) Order of 15 April 1965 concerning airworthiness provisions for civil aircraft.

Implementation circulars concerning the conditions and procedures for renewing airworthiness
certificates have been sent to the operators.

Special Conditions

No information provided.

C. METHODS OF HANDLING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES (OR THEIR

EQUIVALENT) AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION

Since Tunisia is not an aircraft manufacturer, airworthiness directives are not issued.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation receives airworthiness directives from the various
manufacturing States and circulates them to the aircraft operators in the form of transmissions entitled
“airworthiness information” containing the material concerned, the number of the directive and dates when
it was issued and enters into force.
336 TUNISIA

Furthermore, and for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft registered in Tunisia, the Directorate
General of Civil Aviation has set up a system to monitor the implementation of the airworthiness directives
issued concerning the aircraft and/or aircraft equipment.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

Operations:

A reminder circular dated 10 October 1994, concerning aircraft operations, inviting operators to
inform the Directorate General of Civil Aviation immediately of any incident, outage, malfunction or defect
noted on an aircraft or aircraft element which it is operating and such as to jeopardize the aircraft’s
airworthiness.

By the way of guidance, examples of defects which must be reported are given in Appendix A.

Aircraft maintenance:

With regard to aircraft maintenance, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation issued a circular dated
16 November 1995 inviting aircraft operators to set up in each maintenance shop and for each activity sector
(airframe, engines and equipment) a register of directives which defines the relations between the technical
inspectors and the operators. The inspectors are required to record their orders and any comments in this
register. The operator will record the action taken on those orders in the same register.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

The current Tanzanian system of collecting information on faults, defects, malfunctions and other
occurrences which cause or might cause adverse effects on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft is as called
for by TCAA Airworthiness Notice A27. The reporting is mandatory and carried out on a reporting form
which forms an appendix this notice. (Contents of APPENDIX NO. A27).

1. Pursuant to ICAO Annex 8 Part II paragraphs 4.3.4 and 4.3.5, we as a State of Registry have an
obligation to inform the State of Design of an aircraft and the manufacturer all information on faults, defects,
malfunctions and other occurrences which cause or might cause adverse effects on the continuing
airworthiness of aircraft registered in Tanzania.

2. To undertake our obligation therefore, this notice is promulgated requiring mandatory reporting of
information on such faults, defects, malfunctions and failures.

Engineers, Owners and Operators are now required to report all information on faults, defect,
malfunctions, failures and occurrences which cause or might cause adverse effects on the continuing
airworthiness of aircraft to the Airworthiness Section of the TCAA.

3. Defect Report Forms are available from the Airworthiness Section of the TCAA. The format of the
form is found as Appendix 1 to this notice (A.27).
UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA 355

4. All defects, failures, malfunctions, faults and occurrences considered serious or potentially serious
should be reported. The following is a general guideline but not limiting of the reporting requirement:

a) Failures, malfunctions or defect in aircraft or aircraft equipment resulting in the

accumulation or circulation of smoke, oil vapour, toxic or noxious fumes in the cockpit or
cabin during flight;

b) Fires and information whether the related fire warning system did or did not function
properly during flight. False fire warning;

c) engine exhaust system failures or defects during flight that result in damage to adjacent
structure or equipment;

d) engine shutdowns during flights made necessary by failure, malfunctioning or defect;

e) turbine engine flame-outs during flight;

f) malfunction during flight which result in inability to feather or shut down an engine or to
control engines or propellers;

g) malfunction of fuel system components or loss actuating force while the aircraft is in motion
on the ground;

h) failures of brake system including fuel jettisoning during flight;

i) failure of the aircraft structure

j) the failure or malfunction of any flight control system, flap, slat or spoiler system;

k) cracks, permanent deformation or corrosion of aircraft structure which exceed the maximum
acceptable limits prescribed by the manufacturer;

l) failure, malfunctions or defects in an aircraft or aircraft equipment which result in or affect

the use of, emergency procedures, or which are hazardous to the aircraft;

m) any excessive unscheduled removals of essential equipment on account of defects;

Note: “Aircraft equipment” includes all parts of an aircraft tother than its basic structure.

5. The extent of the defect report will obviously vary with the type of incident or defect, but should
contain sufficient information of the circumstances and the conditions by which the defect was discovered,
as well as full information as to aircraft type, registration and where applicable, component history.

D. DETAILS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION

ON FAULTS, DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS

1. The United States Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Service Difficulty Program
provides information necessary to achieve prompt and appropriate correction of conditions adversely
affecting continuing airworthiness of aeronautical products. Their consolidation in a common data base,
analysis of that data, and the rapid dissemination of trends and problems alert the appropriate segments of
the aviation community and the FAA to matters relating to air safety. SDRs may be submitted and the
database may be queried on the internet at http://av-info.faa.gov/isdr/.

2. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14 (14 CFR) parts 121.703, 121.704, 135.415 and
135.416, titled “Mechanical Reliability Reports” (commonly called Service Difficulty Reports of SDRs )
require each certificate holder to report the occurrence ort detection of each failure, malfunction or defect the
local FAA Flight Standards District Offices (FSDO) within an allotted period of time. Upon receipt, the
FSDO reviews the report for compliance with the applicable rule, technical accuracy, and its completeness
before forwarding it to the FAA Aviation Data Systems Branch located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This
office assigns control numbers which indicate the month, day and year the report was processed. These
reports are published weekly in the SDR Summary Air Carrier report and are upon request, distributed
worldwide to those persons or organizations affiliated with the aviation industry. Reports involving aircraft
of less than 12,500 pounds are screened for significance and are published in the SDR Summary, General
Aviation report. To be added to the distribution list for either SDR Summary report, a request should be
forwarded to the following office:

Federal Aviation Administration

Flight Standards Service
Aviation Data Systems Branch, AFS-620
Post Office Box 25082
Oklahoma City, OK 73125

These reports are also available on the Internet through FedWorld at www.av-info.faa-gov/isdr/.

3. In addition to the air carrier reporting requirements, certificated repair stations are required
to report any serious defects or recurring unairworthy conditions in accordance with 14 CFR part 145.63,
“Reports of failures, Malfunctions and Defects.”

4. 14 CFR part 125.409 and 125.410 requires each certificate holder of an aircraft having a
seating configuration of 20 or more passengers or a maximum payload capacity of 6000 pounds or more when
360 UNITED STATES

common carriage is not involved, to report the occurrence or detection of each failure, malfunction or defect
to their local FSDO or to the website.

5. The FAA has a successful voluntary program that encourages all persons who operate and
maintain aircraft to submit malfunction and defect reports to the local FSDO or to the website.

6. The FAA also publishes the General Aviation Airworthiness Alerts, FAA Advisory Circular
43-16. This publication is prepared from information submitted by those who operate and maintain civil
aeronautical products. The contents include items that have been reported as significant, but may not be fully
evaluated at press time. As additional facts, such as cause and corrective action are identified, the updated
data will be published in subsequent issues. This procedure gives Alerts’ readers prompt notice of conditions
reported via Malfunction or Defect Reports. The FAA office responsible for General Aviation Airworthiness
Alerts is:

Federal Aviation Administration

Federal Standards Service
Designee Standardization Branch, AFS-640
P.O. Box 25082
Oklahoma City, OK 73125-5029

7. All reports are stored in a computer data base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for retrieval purposes if
requested by government authorities or any interested person(s) and/or organizations(s). These reports are
available to the public and may be purchased for a nominal fee. Requests for these publications should be
made to:

Federal Aviation Administration

Flight Standards Service
Aviation Data Systems Branch, AFS-620
Post Office Box 25082
Oklahoma city, OK 73125

8. To detect adverse trends, the Regulatory Support Division, AFS-600, continually reviews all service
difficulty information to detect specific problems and/or developing trends. When a problem or trend is
identified, a report is prepared highlighting the difficulty and includes a brief history to show the rate of
development. The report is then distributed to the FAA offices that are responsible for that aircraft product,
or maintenance system.

9. In accordance with 14 CFR part 21.3, manufacturers must notify the FAA of any failures,
malfunctions or defects of any product, part, process or article manufactured by it that result in certain
occurrences. This rule applies to the holders of type certificates (including supplemental type certificates),
parts manufacturer approval (PMA) holders; holders of technical standard order authorizations, or the
licensee of a type certificate. Also, 14 CFR part 21.3 lists the occurrences which must be reported.
Additional information to assist manufacturers in complying with 14 CFR part 21.3 is provided in FAA
Advisory Circular 21-9, Manufacturers Reporting Failures, Malfunctions or Defects. Reports are filed with
Aircraft Certification office that is responsible for managing the type certificate.

10. The FAA Aircraft Certification Service uses service difficulty data to help determine if an
Airworthiness Directive is needed to correct an “unsafe condition” as outlined in by 14 CFR parts 21.99(a)
UNITED STATES 361

and 39.1; or to determine if design changes should be requsted of the manufacturer for safety improvement,
as outlined in 14 CFR part21.99(b). FAA engineering and manufacturing inspection personnel actively
participate in this program to ensure:

a) the timely finding of type design and quality control deficiencies which may result in unsafe
or undesirable conditions; and

b) that appropriate corrective action is taken.

11. The FAA Service Difficulty Program has led to many improvements in aircraft safety; such as issuing
Airworthiness Directives, revising maintenance programs, improving design criteria, adding or revising
airworthiness regulations, etc.
