Part-66 Module 10 study plan

Define continuing airworthiness and list the responsibilities of the owner/operator versus the maintenance organisation

Explain the airworthiness limit concept: life-limited parts, maintenance task intervals and permitted deviations

Describe the role of the type certificate holder, supplemental type certificates and approved design data in keeping an aircraft airworthy

Trace how a defect found in service flows from discovery through deferral, rectification and record entry

Interpret maintenance programme content: scheduled tasks, intervals, escalation and approved variations

Differentiate mandatory continuing airworthiness information from non-mandatory service information and state the action each requires

Summarise how airworthiness directives are issued, recorded and embodied, including the meaning of an alternative method of compliance

Map which regulation-making body sets the requirement at each stage of the directive process

Outline the regulatory framework structure: international convention level, regional rule-making level, national authority level

Explain how a national authority delegates and oversees maintenance standards and what an acceptable means of compliance is

Describe the role of the maintenance review board and the industry steering committee in producing a maintenance programme

Link two continuing airworthiness requirements back to the regulation that creates them

Summarise the ICAO annex provisions that govern personnel licensing and aircraft maintenance, and distinguish standards from recommended practices

Explain how national requirements differ from and build on ICAO standards, including the concept of differences filed

Compare certification specifications and acceptable means of compliance across two national/regional systems

State the record-keeping and reporting obligations that recur across international requirements

Describe the scope of an approved maintenance organisation approval and the ratings under which work may be performed

Explain the role, qualifications and limitations of certifying staff, support staff and category-specific authorisations

Outline the organisation's obligations for facility, tooling, stores, training and quality monitoring

Explain how a finding from a quality audit becomes a corrective action and how the authority verifies closure

Distinguish the privileges and limits of a certifying staff authorisation from those of a component or line certifying staff

Explain what a certificate of release to service certifies and who is entitled to issue it

List the documentation required before release: work cards, parts traceability, test results and outstanding deferred items

Describe how parts and appliances are approved for installation, including the status of standard parts and uncertified parts

Explain the purpose and limits of an authorised release certificate for a component

Identify the circumstances in which an aircraft may be released with an accepted non-compliance or deferred defect

Outline the operator's responsibilities that interact with maintenance: operational control, minimum equipment list use and defect reporting

Explain how a minimum equipment list entry is used to defer a defect and what conditions must be met before dispatch

Describe continuing airworthiness management tasks carried out on behalf of an operator

Link crew-reported defects to the maintenance and record-keeping chain

Re-test every domain under timed conditions and log a score per domain

Rewrite your weakest three topic summaries from memory without notes

Resolve every flagged uncertain fact by checking an authoritative primary source

Consolidate record-keeping and release-to-service rules into a single revision sheet, since they appear across several domains
