RBAC 21 scope

Brazilian regulation covering certification of aeronautical products and parts, including type certificates, production approval, and airworthiness certificates for aircraft.

RBAC 43 scope

Brazilian regulation governing maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, and alteration of aircraft and components, including performance rules and recording requirements.

Certificado de Aeronavegabilidade

ANAC-issued certificate confirming the aircraft conforms to its approved type design and is in condition for safe operation, subject to continuing compliance.

Type certificate

Approval issued by ANAC confirming that a product's design meets the applicable airworthiness requirements, including the certification basis and any special conditions.

Certification basis

The set of airworthiness requirements, special conditions, equivalent safety findings, and exemptions that a specific product must satisfy for type certification.

Supplemental type certificate

Approval for a major design change to a type-certificated product, issued after demonstrating compliance with the applicable airworthiness requirements.

Airworthiness Directive

Mandatory corrective action issued by the state of design and adopted by ANAC, requiring compliance within a stated time to correct an unsafe condition.

Approved maintenance program

Document defining scheduled maintenance tasks and intervals for an aircraft, approved or accepted by ANAC and forming the basis for continuing airworthiness.

Airworthiness limitations section

Mandatory inspection and replacement requirements approved as part of the type design, which cannot be altered without ANAC approval.

Life-limited part

Component with a mandatory retirement life expressed in flight hours, cycles, or calendar time, tracked to ensure removal before the limit.

Reliability program

System for monitoring maintenance task effectiveness using data analysis, allowing approved adjustment of intervals when statistical evidence supports it.

CAMO function

Continuing airworthiness management activity covering maintenance planning, airworthiness review, defect control, and record keeping under an approved exposition.

Risk-based surveillance

Inspection resource allocation method that prioritizes oversight according to operator risk profile, occurrence history, and organizational complexity.

Level 1 finding

Significant non-compliance that lowers safety or seriously jeopardizes airworthiness, requiring immediate containment and prompt corrective action by the organization.

Objective evidence

Verifiable information such as records, observations, or interviews that supports an audit conclusion and can be traced to a specific requirement.

Audit sampling

Selection of a representative subset of records, tasks, or processes for examination, documented so conclusions can be justified.

Accountable manager

Person with corporate authority ensuring all maintenance or operations activities are funded and performed to the standards required by the approved organization.

RBAC 145 approval

Certification of a maintenance organization permitting specified ratings and work within approved facilities, procedures, personnel, and quality system.

Maintenance exposition

Document describing an approved maintenance organization's scope, procedures, facilities, and personnel, forming the basis for its approval and oversight.

Proving run

Demonstration flight or operational exercise conducted during air operator certification to show the applicant can comply with its approved procedures.

SMS four components

Safety policy, safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion, which together form the required management framework for safety.

Safety risk assessment

Process of evaluating hazards using severity and likelihood to determine risk level and the acceptability of proposed mitigations.

Mandatory occurrence report

Notification to ANAC of accidents, serious incidents, or specified malfunctions within defined time limits, as required by regulation.

Just culture

Safety culture approach distinguishing inadvertent errors from reckless conduct, encouraging reporting while retaining accountability for intentional violations.

Safety performance indicator

Measurable parameter used to monitor safety performance against targets and to trigger corrective action when trends are adverse.

Dirty Dozen

Twelve common human factor precursors to maintenance error, including fatigue, complacency, pressure, distraction, and lack of communication.

SHEL model

Human factors framework analyzing interfaces between software, hardware, environment, and liveware, where mismatches produce error.

Skill-based slip

Error occurring when a correctly intended action is executed incorrectly due to attention failure during a routine, well-learned task.

Independent inspection

Required second check by a different qualified person after a critical task, reducing the chance that an error goes undetected.

ICAO Annex 8

International standards on airworthiness of aircraft covering type certification, continuing airworthiness, and recognition of airworthiness certificates.

Chicago Convention Article 33

Requires contracting states to recognize certificates of airworthiness issued by the state of registry, provided issuance met Annex 8 minimum standards.

ICAO difference filing

Notification to ICAO of any national regulation that differs from an international standard, together with the extent of the difference.
