Differentiate between the four options of the inspection program for large turbine powered, multi-engine aircraft.

Solution

Multi aircraft inspection:

1) Annual 100 hour inspection

2)Progressive inspection

3)Multi engine inspection

4)Approved engine inspection

Multi engine inspection:

Multi engine is inspected by selected program that is approved by manager.

It may appear some of the field appear in the sheet and specified in the sheet. It do not enter the field inspector, they

they refer to previously approved and manufacturer-recommended programs. However, inspectors must recognize that these programs must be either currently recommended by the manufacturer or currently in use by 14operators who are supplying the program. For aircraft under the program manager must submit the AIP to the FSDO for approval. The intent of this requirement is to prevent the use of obsolete programs.

2)    Reference to a manufacturer-recommended program has led to several misconceptions about what precisely constitutes such a program.

a) A current inspection program recommended by the manufacturer.” No reference is made to the aircraft manufacturer specifically. however, requires inspection of the airframe, engines, propellers, appliances, survival equipment, and emergency equipment.

b)    Therefore, a complete manufacturer’s recommended program consists of the program supplied by the airframe manufacturer and supplemented by the inspection programs provided by the manufacturers of the engines, propellers, appliances, survival equipment, and emergency equipment installed on the aircraft.Because this program addresses inspections only, it does not include Service Bulletins (SB), Service Letters (SL), service instructions, and other maintenance documents, unless they require an inspection to be performed.

100 Hour inspection :

1.    Before conducting surveillance of annual inspections performed by maintenance personnel, inspectors should become familiar with the manufacturer’s recommended inspection procedures, special instructions, etc.

2.    Inspectors also should know the acceptable degree of deterioration or defect permitted by the manufacturer, as set forth in the manufacturer’s manuals or other data.

must determine from records and physical inspection that the aircraft conforms to the contents of the following:

·    Aircraft specification or type certificate data sheets (TCDS).

·    Properly altered condition (see FAA Form 337), or

·    Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), if applicable, and

·    Airworthiness Directives (AD).

The above documents must be available to the maintenance personnel conducting an inspection. Applicability of an STC may be determined by reference to the aircraft maintenance records.
