Reference: VAR 12.067(b)(1)


MNT 1.7.1
This Maintenance Management Exposition (MME) has been prepared to support VietJet Air (VJC)
adopting VAR-Part 12 Air Operators Certificate (AOC) and VAR-Part 04 Continuing
Airworthiness requirements and compliance with supplementary conditions for the Approval of
the CAAV.
As a component of the AOC approval, it provides requirements for continuing Airworthiness
plus compliance with supplementary conditions for the Approval of the CAAV. The Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of VietJet Air is the Accountable manager for the Airline, as nominated
Post holder approved by the CAAV. The Engineering Director VietJet Air is accountable for the
Maintenance and continuing Airworthiness of the VietJet Air’s fleet.
An MME is a document that defines how VJC, through its AMO and all contracted AMOs,
accomplishes and controls its aircraft maintenance activities.
The MME provides all Engineering and Maintenance personnel with the necessary information
to enable them to accomplish their duties.
The purpose of the MME is to set forth the procedures, means and methods of the VJC in fulfilling
its maintenance responsibilities. Compliance with its contents assures fulfillment of the VJC's
maintenance responsibilities.
The manual is divided as per Table of Contents by Chapter/Part, which describe the
organization put in place in order to comply with VAR Requirements. The Maintenance Quality
System includes Quality System procedures that are intended to provide compliance with the
requirements VAR-Part 12 is described in MME Chapter 3.
Working procedures between the VJC AOC holder and its AMO, contracted AMOs are established
and may be produced as separate procedures manuals e.g. Line Maintenance Manual (LMM),
Aircraft Maintenance Control Procedure (AMCP), Interface Procedure Manual (IPM) and cross-
referenced from the management part of the MME. LMM, AMCP and IPM shall be approved by
SQA Director or TQA Manager. Such manuals complement the policies and requirements as laid
down in MME, MOPM.
Personnel from both the VJC and the AMO are normally expected to be familiar with sections of
the manuals that are relevant to the work they carry out.
In addition, detailed implementation to the requirements of this MME is further supported by
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). A SOP should be developed by relevant Departments of
VJC to serve their operation demand when needed.

1.3 NON-PUNITIVE REPORTING POLICY


VietJet will cultivate and foster a proactive safety culture in which employees and
customers are comfortable and encouraged to bring safety concerns to the attention of
management. VietJet commit that no person will be disciplined or retaliated against for
bringing safety issues to the attention of management.
A safe operation is the most important commitment of VietJet. To ensure this commitment,
we have uninhibited reporting of all incidents and occurrences that compromise the safety
of our operations.
VietJet expects each employee to accept the responsibility to communicate any
information that may affect the integrity of flight safety. Employees must be assured that
this communication will never result in reprisal, thus allowing a timely, uninhibited flow of
information to occur.
All employees are advised that VietJet will not initiate disciplinary action against an
employee who discloses an incident or occurrence involving flight safety. However, this
policy does not apply to wilful, negligent or criminal behaviour.
VietJet has developed a safety reporting system to be used by all employees for reporting
information concerning flight safety. The system is designed to protect the identity of the
employee who provides information. The report forms are readily available in the
employee work areas.
VietJet urges all employees to use this system to help the company continue its objective
of providing our customers and employees with the highest level of flight safety.
Safety culture consists of five elements:
a) Informed Culture: In an informed culture, the organization collects and analyses
relevant data, and actively disseminates safety information to staff.
b) Reporting Culture: A reporting culture means a cultivating atmosphere where people
have confidence to report safety concerns without fear of blame. Employees must
know that confidentiality will be maintained and that the information they submit will
be acted upon.
c) Learning Culture: A learning culture means that an organization is able to learn from
its mistakes and make changes. Staff is encouraged to develop and apply their own
skill and knowledge to enhance organization safety. Staff is updated on safety issues
and incidents outcomes so that everyone learns the lessons.
d) Just Culture: just culture is safety culture in which errors and unsafe
acts will not be punished if the error was unintentional. However, those who act
recklessly or take deliberate and unjustifiable risks will still be subject to disciplinary
action.
e) Flexible Culture: A flexible culture is one where the organization and the people in it
are capable of adapting effectively to changing demands.

a) General
Reference: VAR Part 12.003(a)(14)
VAR Part 10.160, 12.103, 12.107, 12.237; 12.240, 12.243
1) Ensure all aircraft have an aircraft technical log (ATL) or approved equivalent that
comprises the following elements:
(i) Aircraft nationality and registration;
(ii) Date;
(iii) Place of departure;
(iv) Place of arrival;
(v) Time of departure;
(vi) Time of arrival;
(vii) Hours of flight;
(viii) Incidents, observations, as applicable;
(ix) Details of defects and rectifications/actions taken;
(x) Signature or identity of the person recording the defect;
(xi) Signature and identity of the person signing the release following
maintenance. **
** The signature and identity shall: (1) be traceable to the individual making the
entry; and (2) satisfy the requirements specified in the aircraft release to service
procedure of the 2.1.1.6 (i) ETLB Application Function.
2) The aircraft technical log is a system for recording defects and malfunctions during
the aircraft operation and for recording details of all maintenance carried out on
an aircraft between scheduled base maintenance visits. In addition, it is used for
recording flight safety and maintenance information the operating crew need to
know.
3) The aircraft technical log is electronically managed with the assistance of two
different software, which are interlinked: AMOS and ETLB. Additionally, Dent and
Buckle chart is kept on board in physical printed paper (Form: D&B).
4) AMOS usage is restricted to authorized AMO and engineering staff. ETLB
software is reach able by both certifying staff and flight crew, but in separate
modules as described below. Any entry made in ETLB is transferred immediately
to AMOS (unless there is no connectivity, for which it will be updated as soon as

connectivity is restored). The ETLB is always available independently of


connectivity availability and will always contain the latest updated info.
5) The system was developed to be as easily in eligible as possible in order to
minimize data input errors by the flight crew or certifying maintenance staff. The
system has a special development that requires the flight crew or the certifying
maintenance staff to follow sequential steps and requires filling all the mandatory
data. In parallel, it also does not allow the aircraft to be released without the
necessary release to service or with overdue maintenance or open (and non-
deferred) workorders.
6) VJC’s aircraft Technical Log which consists of ETLB and one spare aircraft
technical logbook paper (form QDF100V) is required to keep in cockpit or back-
up purpose only. And there is an instruction ((VJC-ENG-M-015) for using a back-
up technical log.
7) When using a back-up technical log: certifying staff must inform MOC immediately
when data entry / next process step in the ETLB application is not possible. Back-
up procedure, Aircraft then only allowed to fly when its airworthiness status verified
and confirmed from secondary sources such as AMOS and technical records to
assure ADDs are not due, all maintenance procedure/operational procedure
performed before flight were comprehensive as appropriate. All relevant
information of next intended flight must be recorded in back-up technical log and
must be updated to ETLB by MOC as procedure
b) Physical Hardware/Documents
The Electronic Aircraft Technical Log System shall contain as a minimum the following
items:
1) Aircraft Devices include:
Master Device: Required on aircraft during operation.
Pilot/Engineering Devices: Optional.
NOTE 1: In the ETLB, the aircraft maintenance status, including MEL/CDL
information, CRS information, open deferred defects, scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance can be visualized in real time based on AMOS
data.
NOTE 2: The pilot devices are taken to and out of the cockpit by the pilots during
their duty. The master device is stored onboard in the center pedestal.
NOTE 3: The Master device or engineer devices are taken to and out of the cockpit
by the engineers during their duty. Finally, engineers ensure the Master
device charged correctly and stored onboard in the center pedestal.
2) Dent & Buckle Chart
3) Aircraft Technical Log Folder, including Spare of Aircraft Technical Log paper
(form QDF100V).
NOTE 4: Refer to LMM 2.1 for details of DOCUMENTS CARRIED ON BOARD

providers) are restricted to Maintenance Mode. In case of failure of one of the pilot
devices, flight crew can use the Master device in Cockpit Mode and vice versa.
a) Cockpit Mode
ETLB Cockpit Mode is used solely by the flight crew. In this mode, flight crew can
perform the following tasks:
Review the aircraft status, including:
1) Next due Maintenance Events;
2) Aircraft Downgrades/Limitations;
3) MEL/CDL Open Items;
4) Aircraft Deferred Defect (ADD);
5) Technical Services Notices to Crew;
6) Last Release to Service (CRS);
7) Last maintenance performed;
8) Other information (Closed Items, Cabin Items).
Regarding next due maintenance items, the system clearly identifies through a color-
coding what is expired or about to expire:
1) Red color – expired.
2) Yellow color - due in the next 24 hours, 16 flight hours or 8 flight cycles.
3) Green color - due in less than 3 Days + end of Day (72h), 48FH, 24FC.
The pilot shall follow the checklist in order to fill the mandatory data in order to
ultimately accept the aircraft. Such data includes:
1) Flight data, including: date of flight, flight number, departure and arrival
destination;
2) Fuel uplift data, including: date/time, fuel from previous leg, fuel type, density,
actual uplift (in liters), and the departure fuel;
3) Confirm pre-flight check performed;
4) Confirm security check performed or N/A;
5) Optionally, De-icing/anti-icing information (including jobs performed, fluid type,
mixture, steps, quantity, start time and holdover time information (min and max);
6) After all such data is filled in the ETLB, the pilot can accept the aircraft by
electronically signing the commander’s acceptance statement.
After the acceptance is performed, the post flight mode comes. Here, the flight crew
can fill the remaining mandatory or optional data, namely:
1) Flight data, including: takeoff date, number of landings, time off-block, takeoff
time, landing time and on-block time. Flight time and block time are automatically
filled;
2) Autoland (successful, failed, no);
3) Arrival fuel data.
b) Complaint
The flight crew has two timeslots to create a complaint. The first opportunity is prior
aircraft acceptance and the second one is the post-flight mode (after landing). In this
module, the commander can select between a pilot or a cabin complaint with the
possibility to describe the defect. This data will be automatically transferred to AMOS.

EXPOSITION AND MEL APPLICATION 14 Dec 2023

The certifying maintenance staff or maintenance provider has the opportunity to defer
the item in accordance with MEL, CDL or DD. In order to mitigate errors, she/he can
select from a dropdown list the available MEL items which will prefill the MEL
reference, to-go information (in days, FH or FC) and due information (in days, FH or
FC). Additionally, she/he must add the Aircraft limitations, reason for deferral, action
performed, deferral station and deferral date.
c) Maintenance Mode
The certifying maintenance staff has access to the maintenance mode. Similarly, to
the Cockpit Mode, it can review the aircraft status, which includes:
1) Next due Maintenance Events;
2) Aircraft Downgrades/Limitations;
3) MEL/CDL Open Items;
4) Aircraft Deferred Defect (ADD);
5) Technical Services Notices to Crew o Last Release to Service (CRS)
6) Latest closed workorders;
7) Last maintenance performed;
8) Other information (Closed Items, Cabin Items)
When there is, an action required the system clearly identifies through a color-coding
what is expired or about to expire:
1) Red color - expired;
2) Yellow color - due in the next 48 hours, 32 flight hours or 16 flight cycles;
3) Green color - due in less than 72h + end of day, 48FH, 24FC.
The certifying maintenance staff can, through ETLB, create a workorder, edit a
workorder, add a work step, add an action, defer or close a workorder. The
maintenance staff cannot fully close scheduled maintenance events on ETLB (this
shall be done in AMOS and under guidance of PPC or Maintenance Planning).
1) When opening a new workorder, the certifying maintenance staff shall fill solely
the ATA chapter, station and description and if applicable to select from the
dropdown list the faults or MEL items the applicable one.
2) When editing a workorder, the provider can only change the ATA chapter.
3) When adding an action, the provider must fill, at least, an action text, the working
time start and duration times and skill (CAT-A, B1, etc.). Additionally, and as
applicable independent inspection text, oil-uplift data, hydraulic uplift data and
component change information.
4) When deferring a workorder, the certifying maintenance staff shall fill the defect
dispatch category (MEL/CDL/DD) and select directly from a MEL list that will
prefill the data to avoid typing mistakes. Alternatively, all the data can be
manually filled, which is, as a minimum: MEL type, reference, to go information,
due information, MEL limitations, reason for deferral, approval number, station
and date. When doing so, a CRS is requested.
5) When closing a workorder on ETLB, the maintenance staff must fill the closing
station, date and approval number. However, a workorder can only be closed if
at least an action has been performed on each work step. Similarly, a CRS will
also be requested.

d) Flight Check In
Before the flight crew is able to accept and start fly aircraft mode, the flight crew must
synchronize the Master device with the pilot device. In order to do so, flight crew shall
open both devices and request sync using Apple Airdrop function.
The system will confirm when the sync was successful and activate the personal
device for the intended flight and with the correct aircraft registration. If the Airdrop
function is unavailable, the flight crew must obtain a unique identifier from the Master
device. This unique identifier will similarly allow the flight crew to guarantee that they
are choosing the correct aircraft registration.
e) Connectivity Issues/Backup
The system indicates when it´s synced by highlighting “Sync OK”, highlighted in the
top right corner of the ETLB at all times. When the ETLB last sync becomes above 20
minutes, the system states “offline” and the color changes to yellow. When the system
recognizes that there are items to be synchronized, the system will state “offline” and
the color will change to red. This represents a situation in which data was added to
the ETLB and was not synced with AMOS.
With a green device and online, the flight crew can proceed with the flight.
If a device is yellow and offline, the flight crew shall during cockpit preparation contact
MOC in order to determine if the MOC mode is revealing any data is missing. If no
data is missing, flight crew can proceed with the flight. Please check MOC Mode below
for further details.
If a device is red and offline, the flight crew shall contact MOC.
f) Leave Data on Ground Process
In case there is no connectivity (a situation in which the device is offline and red), the
aircraft relevant technical data must be left on ground. In order to do so, immediately
after commander’s acceptance step, the system will request the data to be left on
ground through a USB Stick.
The airlines service check will guarantee enough spares USB sticks. In case there is
no job performed by certifying maintenance staff or maintenance providers, the USB
stick will be delivered to the ground handlers. In case there is maintenance actions
performed by the certifying staff or maintenance providers, an additional copy of the
USB stick shall be delivered to the providers.
g) Procedure for ad hoc Maintenance Provider Required Access to ETLB
In case it is required that an ad hoc maintenance provider accesses the ETLB, a one-
time password can be generated via MOC Mode. In such case, the maintenance
provider has to contact MOC, which will provide a temporary username and password,
valid for 24 hours. After the job is done, MOC will email the electronic copy to the
maintenance provider.
h) Software Update
In case the ETLB software needs to be updated, it will be done automatically when
connectivity is available. In case the device needs update (including iOS), it will be
done by the flight crew for the pilot device or by the maintenance staff for the Master
device. ETLB IT Admin tracks and advises MOC about the required updates and
raises the Work request for certifying staff or maintenance providers. IT can review

the current software of the devices at any given moment and block if necessary under
the MOC guidance.
i) Electronic Signature
In order to fulfil the requirements to certify all items in a paperless mode, an approved
electronic signature process is a critical requirement.
The ETLB requires electronic signatures for:
- Aircraft Acceptance and CRS by the flight crew;
- WO deferral or closure by the maintenance staff.
The electronic signature in ETLB contains all the attributes necessary to ensure
validity of the signature as per ICAO guidance:
1) Uniqueness, given by the requirement of login & password authentication &
drawn signature;
2) Significance, given by the dialog actions and drawn signature;
3) Scope, given by the app dialog and drawn signature;
4) Security, given by the personal login & maintenance of user database;
5) Non-Repudiation, given by the personal login & signature, digitally signed PDF
content (unalterable);
6) Traceability, given by the action log of the user.
As soon as the ETLB Application is used to create a Release to Service for a deferred
or closed workorder a Release to Service PDF-Document is created inside the
application.
The PDF-Document will reflect the previously documented steps and contain the
drawn digital signature.
While synchronizing the data to AMOS System the created PDF-Document is of
course available at the corresponding workorder under Reference/Links.
Once the Data is transmitted to AMOS, the existing and set process will apply.
j) User Management
Every access and privileges to use ETLB and its applications require training of the
staff and approval (via form) to its use.
The privileges are set/controlled by roles defined by the airlines ETLB IT Admin with
each role allowing only specific privileges depending on the users’ needs and rights.
Every action done in ETLB is logged and can be traced to the user in question.
k) Paper-Based Backup Procedure
Ultimately, if there is a severe failure of the ETLB system, a paper-based procedure
(back-up technical log procedure) is to be followed. In order to do so, such process
shall have with Spare Aircraft Technical Log paper (form QDF100V)
The paper-based documents are including:
1) Aircraft Technical Log (ATL);
2) Current/latest CRS.
3) Aircraft D&B chart (ADBC)
The usage of this process shall be minimized to the lowest possible timeframe and
restore the standard ETLB process described above as soon as possible.

Whenever this last fallback backup is activated, MOC must be informed and take
immediate actions to enter the data in the system.
The flight crew shall enter on the paper-based AFL the following:
1) Aircraft type and international aircraft registration mark;
2) Flight number;
3) Commander’s name and company ID number;
4) First officer’s name and company ID number;
5) Date and place of take-off and landing, security check, aircraft acceptance by
signature of crew;
6) Performance statement by signature of crew de/anti-icing recording, statistical
recordings like AutoLand;
7) Quantity of fuel uplifted, additional uplifted, total amount before departure and
total amount after arrival;
8) De-/Anti-Icing report, one or two steps procedure, fluid type, mixture, start time
and holdover time.
Further information recorded is references to number of MEL/CDL entries prior to
each flight and complains in Tech Log or NIL findings.
Times at which the aircraft took off and landed, running total of flight hours and cycles
are entered into the AMOS system.
MOC shall enter on the paper-based Aircraft Technical Log any kind of defects found
during operation or inspection of the aircraft. Flight crew and maintenance staff has
further the possibility to defer in accordance with MEL/CDL or DD process.
Data from completed paper-based Aircraft Technical Log will be entered to AMOS by
the Certifying staff. The scanned format of paper is to be sent by the maintenance
providers to MOC and PCC.
The aircraft flight logbook has 04 copies as below, when restoring back to ETLB, the
aircraft total FH and FC will be updated to ETLB via AMOS.
• WHITE - Book Copy;
• BLUE - Technical Records Copy;
• PINK - Data Entry Copy (for the maintenance stations which have the data
entry staffs);
• YELLOW - Station Copy.
l) Archiving
Tech Record system and AMOS system will be used to archive all the airworthiness
records, including every opened workorder, flight data information, including fuel, oil,
de-icing, security check, and commander’s acceptance, CRS of any WO closure or
deferral. In addition, any kind of paper-based data shall be sent by the maintenance
providers for physical archiving directly to Tech Record system. See MME 2.3 for
more details.

There is no editing or correction function in the Logbook. Therefore, either the


complaint must be closed, or another action must be added that indicates a correction.
n) Aircraft Technical Log Approval
Amendment responsibility for the Technical Log Form is the Director of SQA. All
proposed amendments should be sent to SQA Department to review and submit to
CAAV for approval process.
2.1.2 MEL Application
2.1.2.1 General
Reference: VAR 12.170
a) The Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is published by the aircraft
manufacturer. It is a certified document that enables an aircraft to be dispatched, with
some equipment, or functions inoperative. Some limitations, operational procedures
and/or maintenance procedures may have to be performed. The Minimum Equipment
List (MEL) is published by VJC for each aircraft type, and approved by CAAV. It must
be at least as restrictive as MMEL.
b) The VJC’s Minimum Equipment List (MEL) shall be specific to the aircraft type and
variant which contains the circumstances, limitations and procedures for release or
continuance of flight of the aircraft with inoperative components, equipment or
instruments. The MEL is controlled by the Flight Operations Engineering Department
and decision of accepting a MEL tolerance is the responsibility of the operating crew.
c) Contracted certifying staff must be familiar with the preamble of the MEL. When using
the MEL, compliance with the stated intent of the preamble, definitions and conditions
and limitations specified is required. Approved MEL shall be provided to involved
maintenance personnel for utilization and application.
d) The Configuration Deviation List (CDL) is specific to the aircraft type and published
by the aircraft manufacturer. This document is integrated in Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM). Operation of the aircraft without certain secondary airframe and engine parts
is possible as indicated in CDL. The CDL shall be provided to involved maintenance
personnel for utilization and application.
2.1.2.2 MEL Categories
Inoperative items or components, deferred in accordance with the MEL, must be rectified
at or prior to the rectification intervals established by the letter designator “Category” in
the Rectification Interval column of the MEL. Time is in UTC.
a) Category A
Items in this category shall be repaired within the 'repair time interval' specified in the
'remarks and/or exceptions' column.
b) Category B
Items in this category shall be repaired within three (3) consecutive calendar days,
excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the Aircraft Technical Log. For
example, if it is recorded at 10 a.m. on January 26th, the three-day interval would
begin at midnight the 26th and end at midnight the 29th.
c) Category C
Items in this category shall be repaired within ten (10) consecutive calendar days,
excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the Aircraft Technical Log. For

example, if it is recorded at 10 a.m. on January 26th, the 10-day interval would begin
at midnight the 26th and end at midnight February 5th.
d) Category D
Items in this category shall be repaired within one hundred and twenty (120)
consecutive calendar days, excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the
Aircraft Technical Log.
2.1.2.3 Application
a) Application policy
Defect can either be rectified or deferred in accordance with MEL, Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM), Structure Repair Manual (SRM), Configuration
Deviation List (CDL) or other approved data by Certifying staff. Deferred defect must
be recorded into Aircraft Technical Log and ADD Log
ADD requires maintenance action (M) to be accomplished before flight, ADD number
shall be recorded by Certifying Staff in Defects block of Technical Log. Upon
accomplishment of required maintenance action, the reference number called out by
approved maintenance data shall be put in respective Action Taken block.
ADD requires operational procedure (O) to be accomplished before flight The Pilot is
responsible to carry out during cockpit preparation.
Refer LMM 2.7 for details of deferral defect and defect control.
b) Utilization by Flight Crew
When an item of equipment is discovered to be inoperative, it is reported by making
an entry in the ETLB, by certifying maintenance staff or maintenance providers.
In MEL Symbol identifies a requirement for a specific operational procedure, which
must be accomplished when operating with the listed item inoperative.
Purpose of the operational procedure might be:
1) To require the flight crew to perform action(s);
2) To provide limitations or performance penalties;
3) To provide useful information to the crew.
The operational procedure must be applied, before each flight, unless a periodicity is
clearly specified in the REMARKS OR EXCEPTIONS column of the MEL. In all cases,
the operational procedure must be known by the flight crew before each flight.
The application of the MEL operational procedure shall be recorded by the flight crew
on the ETLB.
The aircraft in MEL condition should be considered according to the flight phase.
c) Utilization by Maintenance
When an item of equipment has been recorded as inoperative in the ETLB, unless the
item can be rectified, it may be entered into the MEL list if the acceptance criteria is
met.
MEL Symbol indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance procedure, which
must be accomplished when operating with the listed item inoperative. If no periodicity
is defined in the REMARKS OR EXCEPTIONS column of the MEL, maintenance
action is a onetime action to be accomplished before the first flight under relevant MEL

item (e.g. a de-activation procedure). Otherwise, this is a repetitive action. In this case,
periodicity of the maintenance procedure is defined in the REMARKS OR
EXCEPTIONS column of the relevant MEL item.
Performance of maintenance procedure as applicable shall be recorded by certifying
maintenance staff or maintenance provider in ETLB action module of initial deferral,
and a separate ETLB WO shall be raised if performance of maintenance action is
required periodically (e.g. before each flight).
d) MEL Defect Rectification
Rectification of any defect and/or damage affecting safe operation, taking into account
the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and Configuration Deviation List (CDL) must be
performed by the certifying maintenance staff or contracted maintenance provider,
using approved Maintenance Data (e.g. internal procedures and standards, etc.)
Refer LMM 2.7 for details of deferral defect and defect control.
e) The Format of the MEL Operational and Maintenance Procedures
The Operational and Maintenance procedures to MEL describe mandatory
operational and maintenance action (e.g. deactivation, fixing in certain position,
inspections etc.) in order to provide application of defect deferral according to MEL
item requirements. Maintenance Procedures usually supported with figures of
location, where the maintenance action shall be applied.
Each inoperative item where required by MEL must be placarded to inform and remind
the crewmembers and maintenance personnel of the equipment condition. To the
extend, practical placards should be placed adjacent to the control or indicator for the
item affected. Absence of placard request in MEL does not prevent maintenance or
flight crew from placarding. Placarding shall be recorded on WO.
a) Transfer of MEL defect row of the ETLB should be accompanied with the MEL
reference, if used by the certifying maintenance staff or contracted maintenance
provider. The MEL is cross-referenced with AMOS and will retrieve the exact MEL
limitation (A, B, C or D) and any operational limitation. This information can also be
overwritten by the certifying maintenance staff.
2.1.2.4 Acceptance by PIC
a) Where the MEL item has been entered by maintenance personnel, the decision to
accept the Aircraft Deferred Defect (ADD) allowed by the MEL/CDL remains the
responsibility of the PIC. This acceptance of any open deferred items is indicated by
his/her signature on the flight log space “Aircraft Acceptance by Crew” and by
recording, the number of MEL/CDL numbers prior each sector.
a) Inhouse, PIC may require a repair although dispatch is permitted by MEL. Such
decision is allowed in coherence with the actual expected flight condition. A defect
may be acceptable on a given flight or at a given time and not be acceptable on
another flight (different runway length, different weather condition, day or night
operations, etc.).
b) The decision of the PIC of the flight to have inoperative items corrected before the
flight will take precedence over the provisions contained in the MEL. The PIC may
request requirements above the minimum listed, whenever in his judgment such
added equipment is essential to the safety of a particular flight under the special
condition prevailing at the time. The MEL cannot take into account all multiple un-
serviceability. Therefore, before dispatching an aircraft with multiple MEL items

inoperative, it must be assured that any interface or inter-relationship between


inoperative items will not result in a degradation in the level of safety and/or an undue
increase in crew workload. It is particularly in this area of multiple discrepancies and
especially discrepancies in related systems, that good judgment, based on the
circumstances of the case, including climatic and en-route conditions, must be used.
2.1.2.5 MEL Notification Process
Maintenance organization must contact MOC verbally and in written form to inform of a
defect that must be transferred in accordance with MEL. MOC will acknowledge the
transfer provided the defect is re-examined to identify:
a) Airworthiness implications;
b) Operational restrictions;
c) Maintenance procedures;
d) Limitations associated with the MEL.
2.1.2.6 MEL - Management

2.1.3 Airworthiness And Non-Airworthiness Defects Deferral
2.1.3.1 Airworthiness Defect Deferral:
Any defect and/or damage affecting safe operation of an aircraft to an approved standard,
taking into account the MEL and CDL or the appropriate maintenance data. Airworthiness
defects can only be deferred in accordance with approved data (CDL, AMM, SRM, etc.).
These defects shall be deferred in compliance with the repair interval requirements
specified in approved data or as follows:
a) In case the repair interval requirements are specified as “next maintenance
opportunity”, “next opportunity” in the approved data, the repair interval shall be 180
calendar days or next “C” check whichever comes first.
b) Missing part that deferred in accordance with CDL shall have repair interval as per
CDL requirement. If there is no specific repair interval the defect shall be repaired
within 180 calendar days or next “C” check whichever comes first.
c) If defect is within allowable limit specified in approved data and there is no further
required action as per approved data but repetitive inspections must be performed to
monitor the propagation of the defect during operation. The list of deferred defects
with repetitive inspection requirements must be evaluated and updated at the
Reliability meeting (refer MME 2.10.5 for Reliability Meeting procedure) after MOC
makes a list of deferred defects that allow to remain un-rectified until repair (No repair
interval is required for this kind of defect). If a defect is not listed in the list of deferred
defects with repetitive inspection requirements, it must be inspected every 8 days to
ensure that it is still within limits.
d) For structure damage: defect can either be rectified or deferred in accordance with
Structure Repair Manual (SRM) by Certifying staff. Structure damage must be
recorded by Structure Damage Report (SDR) and mapping into Dent & Buckle Chart.

Airworthiness directive is a mandatory continuing airworthiness information that is


intended to include mandatory requirements for modification, replacement of parts or
inspection of aircraft and amendment of operating limitations and procedures.
Operational directive with a continuing airworthiness impact includes operating rules such
as RVSM, RNAV, all weather operations etc.
Technical Services Manager shall check all Airworthiness directives periodically e.g. daily
basis, bi-weekly. He also receives AD information via email notification.
The sources of AD are as follows:
a) CAAV: official decision for each AD
b) EASA: https://ad.easa.europa.eu/
c) FAA: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/airworthiness_directives/
d) Additionally: AD’s of component issued by appropriate state of design.
2.4.6 Airworthiness Directive Decision
After receiving airworthiness directives, reviewing bi-weekly, the Technical Services
Manager shall enter AD into AD monitoring list Form EPF112 for assignment of evaluation
and further monitoring.
Assigned Technical Services Engineer (TSE) shall evaluate AD to determine whether AD
is applicable or not. Detailed information of each AD evaluation shall be recorded in Form

entered in AMOS system, together with the mark that AD is not applicable for particular
aircraft or component. Technical Services Manager shall review AD in AMOS finally and
validate such data.
Special attention has to be paid on control of AD’s which are applicable to the
components, because in case of component replacement on the aircraft AD compliance
must be ensured. After initial evaluation of such AD TSE has to make note in AMOS
system for the particular component. The target is to ensure continuous AD compliance
during later spare parts and maintenance ordering. Parts which should not be installed as
per an AD are highlighted in the AMOS system so that spares parts will not order even if
request is received.

send AD and relevant documents to the Flight Operations Department to implement
required documentation changes.
For the ADs that require change in Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS):
a) If the maintenance program already amended and updated new revision of relevant
ALS, the AD status will be CLOSED on AMOS.
b) If the maintenance program has not been amended to reflect specific ALS revision
as required by AD. TSE will issue Technical Notice and send to Planning Section to
require amendment of maintenance program within a clear compliance time. The AD
status shall be OPEN to monitor compliance time of AD and accomplishment of the
maintenance task (before exceeding their due date).
c) Upon maintenance program amended and reflect specific ALS revision as required
by AD, TSE shall update such AD as CLOSED on AMOS.
Repetitive accomplishment of AD must be incorporated into the Aircraft Maintenance
Program (AMP) with next AMP revision.
The TSE shall create Engineering Order Form EPF111 for each applicable AD for
accomplishment. The EO shall be checked by Technical Services Manager and approved

2.17.6 Procedure
2.17.6.1 Preflight Action
a) The following actions are accomplished during preflight:
1) Determine that the aircraft is authorized for RVSM operations by checking copied
of AOC operations specification that lists the aircraft by make, model, and serial
number as being authorized for RVSM operations.
2) Review the maintenance entries and related ADD, NTC forms to ascertain the
condition of equipment required for flight in the RVSM airspace. Ensure that
maintenance actions have been taken to correct defects to required equipment.
3) VJC policies on handling maintenance discrepancies is that they be cleared or
properly deferred per the MEL before a flight may begin. Do not begin a flight with
any open discrepancies that have not been cleared or corrected or deferred per
the MEL.
4) The aircraft logs and ADD log indicate if the aircraft is eligible or not for RVSM
operations on this particular day. Various open discrepancies may make the
aircraft ineligible for RVSM flight (for example because of an MEL item), but is still
eligible for other flights. Check the discrepancies and crosscheck with the MEL to
be sure how any discrepancy may affect your flight status and RVSM status.

procedure.
2.24.5 Procedure
2.24.5.1 Principle
Reference: Appendix 1 to 12.227(a)(18)(ii)
a) In order to ensure the maintenance quality, quality inspections shall be carried out for
all maintenance performed on aircraft and aircraft components. It is generally
sufficient when the person who has performed the work checks on his/her own to
ensure that the work conforms to the requirements.
b) For certain work, a duplicate inspection (also called as second inspection) is also
required. This shall be carried out, during individual work step or when the work is
completed, by another person who has the inspection authorization. The task that
requires compulsory duplicate inspection is defined as Required Inspection Item (RII).
c) Required Inspection Item (RII) is maintenance task upon completion shall be
inspected and certified by an appropriately authorized engineer and not directly
performed the tasks. Maintenance tasks required duplicate inspection include
maintenance if not performed properly or if improper parts or materials are used could
result in endangering the safe operations of the aircraft.
d) Previous experience of maintenance errors and/ or information arising from an
“Occurrence Report System” are taken into account and evaluated as RII.
2.24.5.2 Establishment of Required Inspection Item (RII)
a) All the maintenance tasks of the aircraft operated by VJC shall be individually
assessed according to the following criteria in order to determine the applicability of
RII:
1) The effect of incorrect implementation/non-implementation on the airworthiness
and operation of the aircraft.
2) The possibility of incorrect implementation.
b) The effects shall be classified as follows:

1) Minor effects - minor to moderate damage or subsequent damage with


corresponding operational faults.
2) Moderate effects - major damage, subsequent damage or serious operational
effects such as aborted take-off.
3) Major effect -the defect that can cause an accident or endanger life, or, loss of
airworthiness because an aviation authority requirement was not implemented.
c) The following factors shall be taken into account when assessing the possibility of
incorrect implementation of work. If none of these conditions apply, then the possibility
of incorrect implementation is low:
1) Qualification - a qualified employee is working at the limits of his qualification.
2) Tools and Equipment - tools and equipment are difficult to handle and using.
3) Implementation of the work - the work is complex, and has to be performed in
poorly accessible areas or with tight tolerances.
4) Materials - the material used is difficult to process or handle.
d) The diagram below shows how the individual assessments are analyzed jointly in
order to determine the RII applicability in accordance with the criteria described in this
section

e) In addition, all working steps of AD shall be evaluated per above diagram. The most
critical working task(s) in each related Engineering Order (EO), Structure Repair Order
(SRO) must also be assigned as RII.
2.24.5.3 Control of RII
a) Scheduled maintenance
1) The VJC’s Aircraft Maintenance Program (AMP) for each aircraft type operated by
VJC contains a list of RII for schedule maintenance tasks.
2) The maintenance Task Card (TC) shall be identified “DUPL.INSP” for the RII
scheduled maintenance task.
3) When preparing the EO, SRO the Tech service engineer shall determine the RII
applicability in accordance with the RII List and assessment as per 2.24.5.2 and

i) In case of occasional use of an approved maintenance organization for unscheduled
maintenance a contract does not need to be established. Based on that a thorough
check is done by MOC, PCC and TQA to verify that the organization is CAAV
approved AMO part 5 for current type of aircraft and engine. The VJC then issues a
service order/ work order to the organization for the requested work and makes sure
to file proof of approval along with the order. Each request is only valid for the work
described in that order.
In case of organization is not CAAV approved AMO, TQA Manager shall liaise to
CAAV FSSD to get concurrence for maintenance performance on VJC aircrafts.
The TQA Manager will issue One-off authorization to allow organization’s certifying
staff to perform maintenance certification on VJC aircraft as long as particular
