Maintenance Practices & Aviation Legislation
Describe the documentation chain for a maintenance task from work order through inspection, certification and return to service, naming the roles of the certifying staff and the quality system
Explain the scope and structure of Part-66 licensing, Part-145 maintenance organisations and Part-M continuing airworthiness, and distinguish which tasks each framework governs
Interpret a maintenance release, certificate of release to service, logbook entry and airworthiness directive compliance record, and state what makes each one valid
Apply human factors and maintenance error models to a described incident, naming the error type, the contributing organisational factors and the defences that should have prevented it
Explain the purpose and limits of approved maintenance data, service bulletins, airworthiness directives and minimum equipment lists in dispatch decisions
