SCOPE
Introduction Design Development and In Service Management (ASIP Level 1 - Level 5) ASIMP Information Flow (Implementing) An ASI Program The importance of ASIMP ASI in regards to PU2103 TAMM Reg 3.5.4 ASIMP Management

Introduction
Structural integrity is the ability of all constituent parts of an aircrafts structure to withstand normal operating loads within approved flight limitations without collapse or unacceptable deformation.

Fail-Safe design principles (Fighters) Damage Tolerance design principles (Transport) Durability considerations (Analysis and Testing) Full Scale Fatigue Testing
Dedicated
ASI Programs
www.dgta.gov.m
Routine Usage Status Usage Assessment Fatigue Assessment Structural Condition Assessment
These systems will be described and approved in the Management Plan. Specific instructions will be required by the implementing authority .
www.dgta.gov.m
AN ASI PROGRAM
ASI Requirement:
Full ASIP requirements /Minimum requires some method to ensure System of Maintenance remains valid while operating
All programs are to be Authorised by DGTA All programs are to have a manager assigned whose responsibility is to ensure all elements of the ASIP are implemented.
www.dgta.gov.m
current status of ASIP for specific aircraft, shortcomings or gaps in ASIP, prioritised activities required to manage aircraft ASI over service life, assigned responsibilities for tasks amongst stakeholders, and identification of structural certification basis.
ASIMP is an authorised, controlled document mandating continuing airworthiness requirements CoA certifcation basis.

Reg 3.5.4.a. Requires CI management to establish and maintain an ASI management system. - Documented in individual ASIMPs
- So far F18, Mig 29, Hawk and C130 (PUSPEKA/CAIDMARK) - The rest ?

NEW AIRCRAFT
Reg 3.5.4.c (1) and Reg 2.2.3: Requires ASIMP prior to issue of Design Acceptance Certificate by TAR for new aircraft type, major design changes or significant changes of operations consistent with FAR25.1529 Instructions for Continuing Airworthiness (ICA) A400M?? Already informed project officer via email. EC725??? - Already informed project officer via email. Others if any CI Manager must ensure Sec 3 Lft 11 para 16 (ASIMP Generation).

ASI MANAGEMENT
Statement of Operating Intent (SOI) is required to Inform PS 1 ASDR DGTA and AEOs and contractors in supporting ASI management. See Reg 2.2.6 and Sec 3 Lft 11 para 19 to 25. Reg 3.5.4 .c. (2) and (4) : ASIMP to be updated and reviewed at least an annual basis. See also Sec 3 Lft 11 para 17. Reg 3.5.4 .c. (3): Any deficiencies identified in ASIMP TAR to be notified. Reg 3.5.4 .c. (5): ASIMP specifies the authoritative source or sources for structural inspection programs, structural life limits and component retirement times. Reg 3.5.4 .c. (6): ASI Projects directed by TAR. Details in Sec 3 Lft 11 para 25. Example of Tear Down Inspection details in Sec 3 Lft 11 para 27.

TAR Decision
www.dgta.gov.m
Most of SAO have not submitted their ASIMP to DGTA for Approval.
Recommendation:
RMAF to submit ASIMP for approval. RMN - to submit ASIMP for approval. PUTD In the process of approval by DGTA. APMM - to submit ASIMP for approval. BOMBA to come out with ASIMP and submit for approval. Target date: SAO to submit ASIMP to DGTA in 3 months time. SAO to have ASIP assigned program manager. ASIMP Review Meeting will be conducted annually. ASI workshop/course will be conducted annually.
