CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY REGULATIONS (CASR)
Part 39 – AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
Amdt. 1
 Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are legally enforceable rules issued by the Authority to correct an unsafe
condition in a product as an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance.
Authority and assigns responsibility for the development and issuance of AD in accordance with applicable
statutes and regulations.
All Aviation Safety aerospace engineers, aviation safety inspectors, office of rulemaking, office of the chief
counsel, and the office of information services

Authority, Type Certificate Owner, and Aircraft Owner/Operator are responsible for the continued operational
safety of products for which it has responsibility.
An Airworthiness Directive is a notification to owners and operators of certified aircraft that a known safety
deficiency with a particular model of aircraft, engine, avionics or other system exists and must be corrected.
If a certified aircraft has outstanding airworthiness directives that have not been complied with, the aircraft is
not considered airworthy. Thus, it is mandatory for an aircraft operator to comply with an AD.
Aircraft owners and operators are responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of all Ads
that comply to their aircraft. Anyone who operates a product that does not meet the requirements of an
applicable AD is in violation of regulation.

ADs usually result from service difficulty reporting by operators or from the results of aircraft accident
investigations. They are issued either by the national civil aviation authority of the country of aircraft
manufacture or of aircraft registration.

When ADs are issued by the country of registration they are almost always coordinated with the civil
aviation authority of the country of manufacture to ensure that conflicting ADs are not issued.
In detail, the purpose of an AD is to notify aircraft owners:

• That the aircraft may have an unsafe condition, or

• That the aircraft may not be in conformity with its basis of certification or
• Other conditions that affect the aircraft's airworthiness, or
• That there are mandatory actions that must be carried out to ensure continued safe operation, or
• That, in some urgent cases, the aircraft must not be flown until a corrective action plan is designed
and carried out.

ADs are mandatory in most jurisdictions and often contain dates or aircraft flying hours by which
compliance must be completed .
Different approaches or techniques that are not specified in an AD can, after authority approval, be used to correct an
unsafe condition on an aircraft or aircraft product.
Although the alternative may not have been known at the time the AD was issued, an alternative method could be
acceptable to accomplish the intent of the AD.
A compliance time that differs from the requirements of the AD can also be approved if the revised time period
provides an acceptable level of safety that is at least equivalent to that of the requirements of the AD .
AD divided into of categories:

• An emergency nature requiring immediate compliance prior to further flight, and

• A less urgent nature requiring compliance within a specified period of time.

The issues ADs by three different processes:

• Standard AD process: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), followed by a Final Rule

• Final Rule and Request for Comments
• Emergency airworthiness directives - issued without time for comment. This is only used issued "when an
unsafe condition exists that requires immediate action by an owner/operator...to rapidly correct an urgent
safety of flight situation.
 Emergency AD is issued when an unsafe condition exists that requires immediate action by an owner/operator.
The intent of an Emergency AD is to rapidly correct an urgent safety of flight situation.
Content and format AD consist of two parts, the preamble and the rule. The preamble provides the basis and
purpose of the AD. The rule portion provides regulatory requirements for correcting the unsafe condition.

Generally, ADs include:

• A description of the unsafe condition

• The product to which the AD applies
• The required corrective action or operating limitations, or both
• The AD effective date
• A compliance time
• Where to go for more information
• Information on alternative methods of compliance with the requirements of the AD.

ADs have a three-part number designator (2012-10-13).

• 2012 - The first part is the calendar year of issuance.

• 10 - The second part is the biweekly period of the year when the number is assigned.
• 13 - The third part is issued sequentially within each biweekly period.

 Airworthiness Certification of Maintenance

A Maintenance Release is an airworthiness certification conducted after the

completion conducted of a maintenance task certifying that the maintenance action
was performed in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual or approved
modification instruction. A Maintenance Release signed by a person who has been
assigned Maintenance Release Authority (MRA) for the specific task and aeronautical
product type is required for all maintenance tasks except servicing and elementary
work.

• Aircraft Release.
The final airworthiness-related requirement in the conduct of maintenance is the
signing of an Aircraft Release prior to the release of an aircraft to operations
following the completion of all maintenance, servicing and elementary work tasks.
The purpose of the Aircraft Release is to ensure that only those aircraft that are
considered airworthy are released to operations. This provides the basis upon which
the pilot-in-command or aircraft captain determines the acceptability of the
particular aircraft for the intended mission.

alterations that are not completed as a result of shift change or similar work interruptions
are properly completed before the aircraft is released to service.

Inspection continuity during personnel assignment or shift changes will be maintained by

adequate written statements in the hand over book and supplemented by personnel
briefing.
At line and base maintenance, hands over books are used to record the status of
progress maintenance at the end of each shift. The supervisory staff in charge of the shift
(e.g shift leader or duty engineer ) is responsible to ensure that the Hand over Book is
duly completed.
Final Inspection

After completion of all maintenance a general verification must be carried out prior to
issuing Return To Service to ensure the aircraft or component is clear of all tools,
equipment and any other extraneous parts and material, and that all access panels
removed have been refitted (EASA 402).

After determining satisfactory completion, the authorization holder shall certify with
respect to the work performed.
In making this determination the authorization holder will satisfy himself by: Direct or
indirect supervision of the maintenance task/ process; and examination of all Job Card
and master check list that all required work inspection and functional test have been
performed, all work record are present and correct and that all required inspection item
and certifications have been completed.

No aircraft shall be released until all the activities specified in work order or quality plan
have been satisfactorily completed and the associated data and documentation is
available and authorized. And has been inspected or otherwise verified as conforming to
the airworthiness requirements.

GENERAL

In order to maintain flight schedule integrity, it occasionally becomes necessary to defer the
rectification of minor discrepancies to a more opportune time. Deferral shall be permitted under
controlled conditions defined in the Garuda Indonesia Dispatch Deficiency Guide (including
Minimum Equipment List, Operation Procedure, Maintenance Procedure and Configuration
Deviation List).

The purpose of Deferred Maintenance Procedures is to control deferred discrepancy rectification,

to avoid deferred discrepancy over due according to DDG.
The Deferred Maintenance Procedure is documented with the use of:

a. The Hold Item List Control Sheet Form (MZ-2-25), which is used by MCC to defer
discrepancies and to assign them to maintenance for corrective action.
b. The Hold Item List Extension Monthly Report (MZ-2-25.1), which is used by MCC to report
status of deferred items and extent due date.
c. The Hold Item List Extension Application (MZ-2-25.2), which is use by MCC to request
approval to Airworthiness Management for extending repair interval of the HIL.
The Maintenance Control Center (MCC) has the authority to defer items, which meet one or more
of the following criteria:

a. The malfunctioning system or component is specifically addressed in the Minimum Equipment

List (MEL) or Configuration Deviation List (CDL).
b. The limitations for continued safe operation with the inoperative item are provided in the
Dispatch Deficiency Guide.
c. The item is of a non-airworthy nature. Non-airworthiness items do not affect the continued
safe operation of an airplane, and may therefore be deferred until the next maintenance
opportunity.
If the item does not meet the above criteria, the Airworthiness Management of Garuda Indonesia
must be contacted for deferral authority.

2. CLASSIFICATION OF DISCREPANCIES

a. For the purpose of deferrals, discrepancies may be classified as follows:

1) Non-airworthiness item.
2) MEL items which require placard in the shape of sticker or metal plate.
3) MEL items which require maintenance action.
4) MEL items which require flight crew action.
Detail discrepancies classification is described in the Chapter VIII Maintenance Log. Para 4.
b. MEL discrepancies also fall into one of the following repair interval categories (A, B, C, D).
The intervals specific the maximum time limit prior to which the discrepancies must be
repaired. Detail repair interval category is described in the Chapter I - 4 Part D 95 Minimum
Equipment List.
MCC Responsibility

MCC is responsible for authorizing maintenance deferral of non-airworthiness items and

MEL/CDL items. MCC is also responsible for tracking each HIL and scheduling timely
rectification.

deferral items that, not covered by the MEL/CDL manuals.

e. Pilot-in-Command (PIC) Responsibility

At line stations which are not staffed by maintenance personnel, the PIC has the authority to
defer non-airworthiness items and MEL/CDL items which do not require specific maintenance
action. The PIC will contact MCC at the earliest opportunity to assure that the deferred item is
properly documented and deferred at the next staffed line station.
c. HIL Extension, all deferral will be authorized for a specific repair interval. If the repair can not
be implemented within the repair interval, the discrepancy shall be referred to the
Airworthiness Management of Garuda Indonesia for extension.

Airworthiness Management of Garuda Indonesia is authorized to use a continuing

authorization to approve extensions to the maximum repair interval for category B and C
items. Airworthiness Management of Garuda Indonesia shall notify DGCA of any extension
and record extension in the appropriate document within 24 hrs.

The Airworthiness Management of Garuda Indonesia is not authorized to approve any

extensions to the maximum repair interval for category A and D items. The DGCA may deny
the use of this continuing authorization if abuse is evident.

d. Non-airworthiness items
At home base and at line stations which are staffed by maintenance personnel, the deferral of
Non-Airworthiness items shall be authorized by MCC for a specific repair interval.

e. MEL items which require placard or maintenance action

The deferral of these MEL items may be authorized by MCC for a specific repair interval,
provided MCC assures that the maintenance action and/or placard are carried out prior to
dispatch.

f. MEL items which require flight crew action.

The PIC has the authority to defer MEL items which require flight crew action only (no
maintenance action). The PIC will contact MCC at the first opportunity to advice discovery of
the discrepancy.

g. The only valid reason for dispatching an airplane from home base with an open MEL
discrepancy is the lack of the required parts. Before an airplane departs home base with an
open MEL discrepancy, MCC shall:

1) Obtain confirmation from Material that the required part or component is not in stock.
2) Complete a Material Requisition form indicating the status as “AOG” and return it to
Material for action.

3) Complete the Hold Item List form.

Note: No parts shall be cannibalized or robbed from another airplane or engine to facilitate
repair of an MEL item without the prior approval of MCC and/or the Airworthiness
Management of Garuda Indonesia. Part Robbing procedures describe in App. A-07 this
manual.
h. Whenever MCC requires authorization to defer or continue the deferral of a discrepancy, MCC
will contact to MLT of Garuda Indonesia:

1) During off hours, on weekends, etc., MCC may request deferral authority by telephone, or
other means.
a) Date and exact time the MLT of Garuda Indonesia was contacted must be indicated
on the application.
b) MCC shall complete the HIL Extension application then follow up to MLT.
c) The NIL material slip, tools/ equipment slip and/or Urgent Material Request (UMR)
shall be attached in the HIL Extension Report.

2) Upon the MLT accept the HIL extension application; he will sign and follow up to
Airworthiness Management for approval.

3) Incase Airworthiness Management Inspector approves the deferral, he will sign the HIL
Extension application. Then record and distributed to MCC and DGCA for reporting.
i. MCC shall review Hold Item List status record and evaluate trouble shooting the discrepancy.
There is need further planning of HIL rectification reference to HIL status record, Dispatch
Deficiency Guide and Aircraft Maintenance Manual. If necessary MCC can provide ground
time, spare, special tools and expert personnel/ advice to control and monitor rectification.
j. If HIL extension is over due for the category B and C items, otherwise MCC decide to
grounded the aircraft after receive Airworthiness Management approval.
For detail procedure for recording HIL/CDL recording is describes in the Chapter VIII Maintenance
Log and App A-02 para. 5 Maintenance Log Entry this manual.
