2.26 SHIFT / TASK HAND OVER PROCEDURES
2.26.1 PURPOSE
a. The primary objective of the changeover / handover information is to ensure

effective communication at the point of handing over the continuation or
completion of maintenance actions.
b. To identify completion or incompletion of maintenance task, to have a traceability of

person if more than one person is involved, if task continues for more than one shift
and to find out at what time and date, the task was performed.
2.26.2 POLICY
a. AirAsia (India) policy is to follow shift pattern and maintenance personnel will
normally be attending one shift in a day.
b. This policy shall apply to all personnel in aircraft maintenance where the need for
effective communication between the out-going and incoming personnel is extremely
important.
2.26.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SHIFT HANDOVER.
a. Effective shift handover depends on three basic elements:
i. The outgoing person’s ability to understand and communicate the important

elements of the job or task being passed over to the incoming person.
ii. The incoming person’s ability to understand and assimilate the information being
provided by the outgoing person.
iii. A formalised process for exchanging information between outgoing a n d incoming
people and a place for such exchanges to take place.
2.26.4 TRAINING OF PERSONNEL IN SHIFT / TASK HAND OVER PROCESSES (GM 145.A.30(e)(7))
a. Shift/task hand over training is provided to the personnel as a part of induction

training for recording in the register and following the shift pattern.
b. Personnel shall be trained during Human Factors Training and Refersher Training about
the Shift and Task Hand over procecess.
Page 116
Rev. No. & Dt. 00 Oct 2017
2.26.5 RECORDING OF SHIFT / TASK HAND OVER – FORMAT
a. Handover information will be transmitted in more than one medium to avoid the
risk of erroneous transmission. The introduction of redundancy, by using more than
one way of communicating will greatly reduce this risk.
For example: Use verbal (Handover Meeting) and written communication (Handover
Report).
2.26.6 DESCRIPTION OF SHIFT HAND OVER PROCESS INCLUDING SHIFT OVERLAP (AMC 145.A.47(c))
a. Shift in-charges shall be responsible to ensure that cross- shift information is effectively
delivered.
b. Handovers are expected to be longer during these circumstances:

i. Any deviations from normal working hours have occurred such as having the aircraft in
flight mode at a point in maintenance check when this is not normally done.
ii. When people have returned following a lengthy absence (the state of things could
have changed considerably during this time).
iii. When handovers are carried out between experienced and inexperienced
personnel.
c. Handovers shall contain specific information that presents only key information and
excluding irrelevant information. By facilitating two-way communication any ambiguity
will be clarified.
d. Maintenance Manager and shift in-charges need to discuss and up-date

themselves on tactical and managerial matters affecting the continued and timely
operation of the maintenance process. Outgoing managers/ shift in-charges should
summarize any significant problems they have encountered during their shift,
especially any problems for which solutions have not been develop or are still in
progress.
e. After the meeting between shift shift in-charges, and assignments of tasks, there is a
need for shift in-charges and certifying staff to meet and exchange detailed
information related to individual jobs and tasks. The most effective way to
communicate this information is for the affected incoming and outgoing personnel to
go over the task issues while examining the actual jobs at the workplace.
f. Topics that should be covered in the handover book/meeting (Shift Hand over Form
(QD/PP/08):
i. Jobs/tasks in progress
ii. Work Orders being used
iii. Last step(s) completed
iv. Problems encountered
Page 117
Rev. No. & Dt. 00 Oct 2017
v. Outstanding/in work/status
vi. Unusual occurrences/defects
vii. Resources required/available
viii. Location of removed parts/tooling
ix. Parts and tools ordered and when expected
x. Part shortages /Man power shortages.
xi. Proposed next steps
xii. Communication with Planners, Tech Services etc
xiii. Communication with Managers
g. When the task is being directly handed over to someone who is present at the time, it
shall be done face to face using verbal and written communication. In these cases
the written element is normally by ensuring that the task cards are accurately
completed clearly identifying at what stage in the task card the job has reached. Any
deviations from normal working practices or procedures must be clearly highlighted.
An example of this would be if in changing a valve, a clamp, not required to be removed
by the maintenance manual, is disturbed to aid removal and installation. It is a
requirement that the outgoing person records this deviation.
h. When a job is left incomplete during a shift, e.g. in the case of someone being called
away to attend a more urgent task on another aircraft. In this scenario face to face
communication is not possible therefore total reliance has to be placed on written
communication.
i. There will be an overlap of 30 Minutes for shift handover to take place. The shift in-
