Definition and abbreviation:


1- Line Maintenance: Line maintenance is any maintenance that must be
carried out to ensure that the aircraft is fit for the intended flight. It may
include:
- Trouble shooting;
- Defect rectification;
- Component replacement with use of external test equipment if
required. Component replacement may include components such as
engines and propellers;
- Scheduled maintenance and/or checks including visual inspections
that detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies but do
not require extensive and in depth inspection. It may also include
internal structure, systems and power plant items which are visible
through quick opening access panels/doors.
- Minor repairs and modifications which do not require extensive
disassembly and can be accomplished by simple means.
2- Preflight/Transit checks: The Preflight/Transit checks are Line
Maintenance Checks to be performed at each transit or before each
flight, but not earlier than two (2) hours before the flight. This check
includes also the correction of troubles reported in the Aircraft Technical
Log if the airworthiness of the aircraft is affected.
3- Terminal checks: These checks are carried out in principle every day,
and in any case must not exceed 36 hours (applied to A320/A321/A330)
and 48 hours (applied to B777) elapsed time.
4- Weekly/Line checks:
- For B777: line checks shall be carried out within every 100 flight hours.
- For A321: weekly check shall be carried out within every 08 days.
- For A330: weekly check shall be carried out within every 07 days.
- For ATR72: weekly check shall be carried out within every 07 days.
- For F70: weekly check shall be carried our within every 08 days.
5- 125FH checks: For F70 only. The 125FH Check shall be carried out
within 125 flight hours. Pre-fllight check is included in this check. If time
to next flight is more than two (02) hours, then it is required to perform
preflight check again.

VI.

Content of Procedure:
1- Safety precautions General:

Page: 2.1 / 3
LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CHAPTER 2
LINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Issue: 02
Rev. : 07
Date : Nov.2014

During Line maintenance, the following safety precautions must be


observed:
a) All safety precautions and precautions relating to the parking of
aircraft are to be observed.
b) Designated roadways are to be utilized at all times when moving to
and from aircraft.
c) Any vehicle which moves in the vicinity of the aircraft is to do so in
accordance with the conditions specified in the Maintenance/Handling
Manuals.
d) Any unsafe condition observed is to be reported to the Supervisor
immediately and the soonest action is to be taken to preserve the safety
of personnel/aircraft.
e) Priority is always to be given to emergency service personnel and
vehicles.
2- Aircraft Preflight/Transit checks:
Preflight/Transit check of aircraft is limited to certifying staff who has
achieved a required level of practical experience and training relating to
the specific tasks.
Detailed safety precautions for Preflight/Transiting checks:
In addition to the general safety precautions, the following requirements
must be met:
Transiting service of aircraft requires that the engineer(s) involved is
familiar with the conditions relative to operations on the airport ramp.
a) The requirements of the specified Preflight/Transit checklist(s)
corresponding to type of aircraft are to be followed when carrying out
line maintenance services.
b) Only approved maintenance data and documentations onboard the
aircraft are to be used during maintenance process.
c) All aircraft taxiways are to be maintained clear at any time that any
aircraft is taxiing. For safety reasons, never cross in front of or too
close behind a taxiing aircraft.
d) A position clear of the aircraft wing tip is to be maintained at any time
that an aircraft is moving.
e) Movement towards an aircraft is only to be made once the aircraft has
come to a complete stop. The chocks are then to be installed in front of
and behind the nose wheels prior to the headset being connected.
Parking brake still set on. After engines shutdown or propellers
completely stop the chocks to be installed in front of and behind the
outboard set of one MLG (LH MLG is recommended). Parking brake

Page: 2.1 / 4
LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CHAPTER 2
LINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Issue: 02
Rev. : 07
Date : Nov.2014

set off when nose wheels and at least one set of wheels on MLG have
been chocked up. In abnormal circumstances, additional chocks may
be required to be installed in front of and behind other main landing
gear wheels
(refer 2.12 for more detail)

f) To help to cool the brakes and reduce the chance of thermal pressure
release from the tires, brakes should not be applied longer than
necessary. During transit parking brake is required only when wheel
chocks are considered not sufficient. Use of brake cooling fans, if
available, is recommended.
g) No control system is to be operated during aircraft transits without an
observer first being placed in an appropriate position to ensure that
safe operation is maintained.
h) The requirements of the specified transit check checklist corresponding
to the type of aircraft are to be followed when carrying out the transit
check.
i) A final walk around check of the aircraft is to be carried out once all
doors are closed to ensure the aircraft is fit for flight. Particular
attention must be paid to doors and panels normally opened during
transit and especially the re-fuel cap.
j) At aircraft departure, when the flight crew have stated their intention to
depart, the head set man shall:
- Make sure that the areas surrounding the aircraft are clear for
taxiing.
- Advise the flight crew to obey marshalling signals from the
applicable side of the aircraft.
- Disconnect the head set from the aircraft and secure the panel.
- Remove any remaining safety pins.
- Remove the nose wheel chocks and walk to the marshalling
position.
- Show the cockpit crew the remove chocks and safety pins and
marshal the aircraft to the taxiing way.
k) If the flight crew indicate that the aircraft should return for any reason,
then the maintenance staff is to confirm brake application with the
flight crew prior to advancing towards the aircraft, apply the conditions
stated in term i) above.
3- Terminal and Weekly/Line check:
In addition to the general safety precautions and to the Preflight
/Transiting checks the following requirements must be met:

Page: 2.1 / 5
LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL

technical discrepancies are deferred as an ADD or cleared and request for
an extension of a MEL item should be made. MEL applications also are
mentioned in accordance with appropriate referenced VAR regulatory
requirements.

II.

Scope of Affected:
This procedure applies to VNA Safety- Quality & Security department,
Technical Department, Supply Department and all contracted
organization.

III.

Responsibility:
VNA-SQS Department, Technical Department, Supply Department,
VAECO, Authorised Staff at all line stations are required to implement
this procedure.

IV.

References:
MME 3.13, 3.9.

V.

Definition and abbreviation:


ADD: Acceptable Deferred Defect;
CDL: Configuration Deviation List;
DDG: Dispatch Deviation Guide;
MEL: Minimum Equipments List;
A recurring defect is defined as a defect or defects of the same nature,
which has been recorded more than once in the Technical Log within 7
flights (or 03 consecutive operational days) where trouble shooting
action(s) did not rectify the defect.

VI. Contents of Procedure:


1.
Deferring defect and MEL Application:
1.1 General:
In order to maintain flight schedule integrity, it occasionally becomes
necessary to defer the correction of minor discrepancies until maintenance
can be accomplished. Deferrals will be permitted under controlled conditions
defined in the VNAs Manual System (MEL, CDL, and other technical
manuals).
The Authorized Staff, in association with VAECO, has the authority to defer
items that meet one or more of the following criteria:
a) The malfunctioning system or component is specifically listed in the MEL
or CDL.

Page: 2.3 / 2
LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CHAPTER 2
LINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Issue: 02
Rev. : 08
Date : Jan.2015

b) The item is of a non-airworthy nature.


MEL items will not be applied to aircraft if at the airport:
- Qualified maintenance personnel are on duty;
- The necessary facilities and equipment are ready, and
- Required parts, appliances, components, tools or materials to perform
the necessary repairs are available.
All deferrals will be authorized for a specific repair interval. If the repair
cannot be implemented within the repair interval, the concession may be
submitted to the SQSs Director of VNA for approval.
Note 1: Request for concession will be mentioned here in section 1.4
below.
The ADDs are split into two groups in the Technical Log:
i) MEL/Airworthiness related ADDs (VNA-SQ-F14-02) Numbered
sequentially from B001 onwards for an aircraft. These ADDs are those
related to the MEL/Airworthiness requirements and will additionally
include all defects that are within the Approved Maintenance Manuals
(SRM, AMM etc.) limitations.
ii) Non-MEL related ADDs (VNA-SQ-F14-03) Numbered
sequentially from C00l onwards for an aircraft. These ADDs are those of
minor nature with no airworthiness implication.
When raising, progressing or clearing an ADD it is necessary to complete
an entry on the MEL or Non-MEL related ADD sheets as well as on the
Technical Log page. The ADD sheets will be completed in strict sequence
as mentioned above for that is one sheet must be complete before another
of the same group is started. As the ADD sheet only is a single copy all
certifications must be made on a Technical Log page and cross-referred.
Note 2: VAECO as a member and VAR145 Contracted Maintenance
Agency of Vietnam Airlines shall have the responsibility to control and
monitoring/supporting the daily line maintenance activities which include
that at all Outstations of VNA.
1.2 To raise ADDs:
a) The Authorized staff shall refer to the appropriated ADD reference
sheet (VNA-SQ-F14-02/03) accompanied with the aircraft Technical
Log Book.
- For a defect: the next subsequence number shall be the reference
number of the new ADD.
- For the ADD MEL related: see flowchart 2.3 at page 2.3/6

Page: 2.3 / 3
LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CHAPTER 2
LINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

When a defect occurs, certifying staff performs the step by step as


following:
STEP 1: Certifying staff assesses if the defect is recurring?
If defect is not recurring, certifying staff raises new ADD.
If defect is recurring, go to Step 2.
STEP 2: Certifying staff checks the MEL time remaining of previous
related ADD. If MEL time limit is remained, go to step 3. If MEL time
limit is NOT remained, go to Step 4:
STEP 3: Certifying staff raises a recurring ADD (with new ADD
reference number) with notes:
+ A note to crews and engineers, form VNA-SQ-F11-04 must be
raised to inform all flight crews and maintenance engineers working
further on the aircraft of the recurrence of the defect;
+ An addition note THIS IS RECURRING DEFECT, REOPEN ADD
BXXX must be also enter in technical log and related ADD reference
list.
STEP 4: Certifying staff grounds the aircraft and rectify defect if
aircraft is at home base (HAN, SGN).
Note: Under operation demands, MOC may require VAECO to apply a
concession.
If aircraft is outside of home base, certifying staff inform MOC/MCC
to request a concession with maximum 3 legs to home base.
b) Any time limit given for rectification of any MEL-related ADD will be
as indicated in the MEL only, with the DEFER. LIMIT DATE given as
the last date that the defect rectification must be carried out.
c) Any conditions and requirements of Approved Maintenance Manual
such as maintenance/operations procedures given in MEL/DDGhave to
comply with and entry in to Techlog as Actions Taken is required.
d) Annotate the Technical Log action taken column with the statement
BX (or CX) ADD Raised (X is the ADD sequence number) and include
any observations or troubleshooting carried out on the defect, any
operational limitations due to the defect and any precaution carried out
and/or Notice To Crew raised or inform to Flight crew if necessary.
Note 1: Authorized staff carrying out transit checks shall review the
Cabin Defects Log to ensure that all defects, which have not been
transferred, are non-airworthiness related, and have taken action (fix or
deferment) accordingly as required.

Note 2: Defects found in Cabin Defect Log that have airworthiness


implications and have been transferred into Aircraft Technical Log shall
be annotated as such in the Cabin Defects Log and initialed in the
ACTION TAKEN box.
Note 3: Authorized staff has to liaise with VNA-Station manager when
the ADDs have affected to carriers ground operation (for example:
degrade of passengers accommodation, cargo compartment, seat
occupied, oxygen container);
Note 4: for ADDs related to special operation such as CAT II/III, ETOPS,
RVSM/RNP: please refer to those procedures and proceed accordingly.
Note 5: according to A321/A330/B777/ATR72 MEL document, the
maximum number of inoperative MEL items that can be carried is 4. 4

are those related to passenger convenience, comfort, or
entertainment such as, but not limited to, galley equipment, movie
equipment, ash trays, stereo equipment, overhead reading lamps,
headrests, armrests.
In the event of a conflict between the regulations of this manual and those
of the MEL/CDL/DDG, the MEL/CDL/DDG will govern.
1.3 To clear ADDs:
a) Insert the text appropriate to the rectification work carried out into the
ACTION TAKEN block of the Technical Log Page and certify the entry.
b) Complete the ADD sheet by annotating the CLEARANCE detail section with
Technical Log Page reference and item number and then certify the entry.
Certification will consist of the signature and approval authority of an
appropriately authorized CRS holder.
Note 1: for ADDs related to special operation such as CAT II/III, ETOPS,
RVSM/RNP: please refer to those procedures and proceed accordingly.
1.4 Time/Limitations control for MEL/Airworthiness related ADDs:
MCC VAECO is responsible to control ADD deadlines and ensure all the ADDs
must be cleared within allowable time/limitations.
- For ADD CAT C, MCC ensures that trouble shooting action and spare
part order must be performed within 5 (five) days after the ADD is raised.

Definition and abbreviation:


The current regulatory guidance document AC 120-42B (FAA) is accepted
by the CAAV to be the basis requirement for ETOPS approval of VNA.
Downgraded ETOPS is ETOPS restricted to less than the Operational
Approval stipulated time of 120 minutes.
Non-ETOPS are flights that remain within 60 minutes of landing at
suitable airport.

VI.

Content of Procedure:

1. ETOPS Configuration Control

This sub-procedure is to ensure compliance to the current Configuration,


Maintenance and Procedures (CMP) standard set out by the aircraft
manufacturer.
At outstations, before installing a part on the aircraft, the certifying staff
must do the following:
a. Check that the part P/N is listed in the relevant IPC (and not listed in
the Non-ETOPS Parts List). Only parts (including borrowed or pooled
one) approved for ETOPS shall be used. If a part is Non-ETOPS
approved (not found in the IPC, or found listed in the Non-ETOPS Parts
List), go to the next step.
b.Check with the VAECO MCC for the part status. If the part is
considered non-ETOPS approved or with restrictions and is permitted to
install on the aircraft, the next step will apply.
c. Install the non-ETOPS part or part with restrictions on the aircraft and
release the aircraft to service after completing the followings:
- Against the entry of faulty part in the DEFECT column, add a phrase
A/C DOWNGRADED TO NON-ETOPS, DUE TO NON-ETOPS
PART (or PART WITH RESTRICTIONS) FITTED into the ACTION
TAKEN column of the Aircraft Technical Log after statement about
defect rectification.
- Raise an ADD B type (deadline note: UNTIL ETOPS PART
REFITTED) and open a NTC to inform flight crews that the aircraft is
downgraded to NON-ETOPS; circle YES in the OPS LIMIT box in
the ADD B type list (pink color).
- Brief Flight Crew of any possible performance limitations.
- Advise VAECO MCC of the situation by a standard departure telex.
2. MEL application

This sub-procedure is to ensure compliance to the ETOPS Requirements


when release the aircraft with deferred defects that have remarks

Page 2.9/ 4

LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL


CHAPTER 2
LINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Issued : 02
Revision: 06
Date: Jan.2014

EXCEPT FOR ETOPS in the MEL manual. As this may have an impact
on Downgraded ETOPS or Non-ETOPS status, the current status of the
aircraft must be communicated effectively throughout VNA maintenance
and operation systems.
At outstations, when a defect can not be rectified on time, the Certifying
Staff will assess the deferrable defect again MEL.
If MEL allows but with the condition of Non-ETOPS or downgraded
ETOPS operation, VAECO MCC must be informed immediately.
When permitted to release the aircraft to service with the defect deferred
for Non-ETOPS or downgraded ETOPS flight, the Certifying Staff must
do the following:
a. Add the phrase A/C DOWNGRADED TO NON-ETOPS (or
DOWNGRADED ETOPS) in the ACTION TAKEN column of the
Technical Log after statement about defect rectification,
b. Raise an ADD B type and open a NTC as per normal procedure,
adding the phrase that AIRCRAFT IS DOWNGRADED FOR NONETOPS (or DOWNGRADED ETOPS) STATUS; circle YES in the
OPS LIMIT box in the ADD B type list (pink color).
c. Brief Flight Crew of any possible performance limitations.
d. Advise VAECO MCC by a standard departure telex about the
situation.
3. ETOPS significant systems and resolution of aircraft discrepancies

An ETOPS significant system is a system or component, which, if fails, may


cause a diversion or impede the safety of the aircraft or passengers during the
diversion.
The purpose of this sub-procedure is to provide guidance to determine ETOPS
significant systems and to ensure defects and maintenance actions on ETOPS
significant systems be rectified, certified and verified successful prior to
ETOPS flights.
Below is the guide for ETOPS significant systems:
At outstations, the Certifying Staff will refer to the Table 1 &2 below for a list
of ETOPS Significant Systems when a system is reported to be defective and
determine the need of verification flight, if the following conditions are satisfied:
3.1 Verification action for maintenance is required in the following
circumstances:
a. ETOPS significant system failure.
b. IFSD, un-commanded power changes or surges, or inability to control
engine or obtain desired power.

c. Maintenance done on multiple, similar systems.


d. Interchanging (swapping) parts in ETOPS significant systems for
trouble shooting.
e. ETOPS significant system defects, which appear only at certain
altitudes, temperatures, flight phases or flight duration.
f. ETOPS significant system defects, which are intermittent.
3.2 The circumstances that require verification flights are:
a. ETOPS significant system defects, which appear only at certain
altitudes, temperatures, flight phases or flight duration.
b. Effective ground checks do not exist that positive rectification can be
ascertained.
c. Effective AMM checks do not exist that positive rectification can be
ascertained.
d. BITE checks which is not sufficient to positively verify the
maintenance action.
3.3 If in-flight verification is required, the following steps will be
performed:
a. The Certifying Staff will:
- Answer in the ACTION TAKEN column next to the DEFECT
column about the defect rectification with statement that
verification flight is needed.
- Raise an ADD to record the need for verification flight, detailing
the requirement, such as ETOPS VERIFICATION OF THE XXX
SYSTEM
OPERATION/FUNCTION
IN-FLIGHT,
AT
XXX
ALTITUDE, or FOLLOWING ENGINE NO. XX CHANGE, THE
PARAMETERS XXXX NEED TO BE MONITORED IN ETOPS
VERIFICATION FLIGHT, etc.

- Inform the VAECO MCC and indirectly (via MCC) VNA Flight
Operations Department. The following kinds of flights may be
suggested for verification flight, depending on the nature of
rectified defects:
i. Non-ETOPS revenue flight.
ii. ETOPS revenue flight subject to system verification during
the first 60 minutes of flight provided the airplane is within
60 minutes diversion time of a suitable alternate airfield.
iii. Test flight.

4. Identical Maintenance of multiple, similar systems


Identical maintenance action is the same task (i.e. repair, replacement, or
disassembly) done on more than one of similar systems during the same
maintenance visit. This sub-procedure is to ensure that identical maintenance
action must not be done on similar ETOPS significant systems. This ensures
human factor errors are not introduced.
If identical actions do occur or cannot be avoided, one of the following shall be
applied to ensure human factor or defective components do not degrade ETOPS:
a. Do identical maintenance at different maintenance visits.
b. Different Certifying Staff and different maintenance personnel do
maintenance on the similar systems.
c. A qualified third party (e.g. flight crew) is used to do inspection.
d. Communicate with the VAECO MCC for directions.
e. Do verification actions to ensure integrity.
f. Duplicate/Double Inspection
g. VNA policy states leak checks on both engines at ground runs as identical
maintenance actions. Verification action by specified ground checks by only
ONE qualified person is NOT allowed.
At outstations, the Certifying Staff should pay the attention on the
maintenance tasks that marked with letters ETOPS or Task Cards with the
note: THIS IS AN ETOPS RELATED ITEM. THE SAME
MAINTENANCE PERSON MUST NOT PERFORM THIS TASK ON
XXXX.
The same attention must apply when there is non-scheduled ETOPS identical
maintenance with ONE Certifying Staff.
In this case, the Certifying Staff should consult with the VAECO MCC and
strictly follow their instructions.
5. Oil consumption monitoring program
There is very strict requirement on engine and APU oil consumption for ETOPS
flights and this sub-procedure is to ensure compliance to the oil consumption
monitoring program.
a. Engine oil must be checked and serviced, as necessary to the FULL level:
- Prior to dispatch on ETOPS flight.
- On non-ETOPS flights, if engine oil level check requires servicing.
b. Use EICAS for B777 (ECAM for A330) to determine the APU oil
quantity, service to FULL level if required.

Page 2.9/ 17

LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL


CHAPTER 2
LINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Issued : 02
Revision: 06
Date: Jan.2014

c. Every time, when APU oil system is serviced, in the Technical Log, the
Certifying Staff will make the entry in the DEFECT column APU OIL
SYSTEM SERVICING REQUIRED, and the statement in the ACTION
TAKEN column APU OIL SYSTEM SERVICED TO FULL LEVEL AT XXXX
OPERATION HOURS AS INDICATED ON EICAS.

Uplift oil quantities are recorded in the relevant boxes as usual.


d. Engine oil quantity shall be physically checked using the engine sight
gauge, and then compared to the EICAS for B777 (ECAM for A330) readout.
e. Airplane with engines and/or APU exhibiting questionable characteristics
will be restricted from ETOPS until the fault has been corrected.
f. At each transit and stay-over, Certifying Staff will check engine oil level
after engine shutdown during a period of time in accordance with the relevant
AMM requirements, do the if-required oil systems servicing and record the
information in to the Technical Log page.
g. In order to ensure the accurate calculation of oil consumption rate, the
Certifying Staff shall use the ruler provided by VAECO MCC to determine
the actual uplifted oil quantity rounded off to the nearest quarts.
h. After uplifting the oil system into FULL level, the Certifying Staff will
verify the oil consumption for each engine by comparing the actual uplifted
oil quantity with the EICAS for B777 (ECAM for A330) readout. The
calculation of oil consumption rate can be made by comparing the oil quantity
consumed during previous flight leg(s) (regarding the amount of flight
hours/operation hours, which has been accumulated since last service to
FULL level of the relevant system) with the data in the Engine and APU
Oil Consumption Checklist Reference Table in the Aircraft Technical Log.
Then the oil consumption rate for all engines and APU will be determined if
the rates are acceptable.
i. If the rate is not acceptable for any engine or APU, the Certifying Staff
must report problem immediately, with as much as possible information that
may be required, to VAECO MCC and wait for the instruction from them.
The Certifying Staff shall carry out the requested corrective actions before the
airplane is dispatched for ETOPS. Otherwise, airplane must be downgraded to
Non-ETOPS status.
j. If the rate is acceptable, or when a detected problem has been corrected, the
airplane can be released for the next ETOPS flight, provided other restraints
have been cleared.

6. ETOPS certification signatories


This sub-procedure is to ensure only qualified personnel certify ETOPS
maintenance actions.
At outstations, contracted organization maintenance personnel qualified on the
B777 and A330 aircrafts. type, and whose training includes VNA airplane
differences and ETOPS training are eligible for qualification of ETOPS
maintenance for VNA B777 and A330 aircrafts.
a. If the flight was diverted for:
- Technical reasons, and
- ETOPS significant system related, and
- The subsequent flight is ETOPS, then ETOPS maintenance certification
personnel must certify for maintenance.
b. If the flight was diverted for:
- Technical reasons, and
- ETOPS significant system related, and
- The subsequent flight is not ETOPS, then Non-ETOPS maintenance
certification personnel can certify for maintenance.
However, the transit and APU check is still required (and oil uplift recorded),
though it is not required to be done by an ETOPS qualified mechanic.
VII. Records:
Techlog blue copies and other forms shall be retented as required by procedure
2.2 Use and completion of line documentation.

2.14 CAT II/III Maintenance Procedure


I. Scope:
This maintenance program is applied for B777, A330, and A321 aircrafts
in Vietnam Airlines fleet.
II. Controlling equipment related to CAT II/III:
All equipment replacements need to comply with IPC. Equipment and
components are not allowed to be installed on aircraft if they are not listed in
IPC. Before installing any equipment or component, contracted maintenance
organizations have to ensure that those items are listed in the IPC.
III. Requirement for maintenance staff:
To sign and release aircraft to service with CAT II/III operation ability, a
technical staff must:
a. Be a certificate holder (CRS) for the concerned aircraft type.
b. Maintenance staff are trained and certified about line maintenance
manual, including CAT II/III maintenance procedure (LMM section
2.14).
IV. General principle:
In addition to normal aircraft maintenance requirements, the following
criteria must be met to maintain CAT II/III capability for an aircraft:
AMM tests required for CAT II/III operation must be done during
trouble shooting, equipment repair and adjustment.
At least one satisfactory low visibility system operational use, or a
satisfactory systems ground check, should be accomplished within
30 days, for an aircraft to remain in CAT III status.
At least one satisfactory low visibility system operational use, or a
satisfactory systems ground check, should be accomplished within 6
months, for an aircraft to remain in CAT II status.
If theres an unsuccessful autoland performance regardless of any
reasons reported by flight crew, the aircraft will be downgraded to
CAT II capability until all defects (if any) are fixed and one
autoland is successfully performed.
For a recurring defect related to CAT II/III, the aircraft will be
downgraded to CAT II. A successful autoland performance is
required to upgrade the aircraft back to CAT III.

Page 2.14/ 2

LINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL


CHAPTER 2
LINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Issued : 02
Revision: 06
Date: Jan.2014

For an aircraft deferred defect related to CAT II/III, one B defect will be
raised and CAT II/III capability will be downgraded according to MEL. For
overdue low visibility system operational use, recurring defects and unsuccessful
autoland performance, one C defect will be raised to record the downgrade status
of aircraft.
For avoidance of doubt, C defects related to CAT III do not affect
aircrafts airworthiness.
Section V. Procedures shall describe the procedures that maintenance
staffs must follow regarding the criteria mentioned above.
V. Procedure:
1. Trouble shooting, Equipment Repair and Adjustment:
After a repair or an adjustment is made on the equipment, the CAT II/III
revalidation of those equipment must be made by the corresponding AMM test:
For Airbus aircrafts, perform:
all required AMM testing tasks in trouble shooting and
equipment restoration/installation task
plus AMM testing tasks required for CAT III operation which are
mentioned in AMM documents
For Boeing aircraft:
all required AMM testing tasks in trouble shooting and
equipment restoration/installation task
2. CAT II/III downgrade:
A. Regarding deferred defects:
If there is a deferred defect with CAT II/III downgrade requirement
according to MEL, maintenance staffs have to:
Raise an ADD type B.
Write a note to indicate aircraft CAT II/III capability in Notes to
crews and engineers form (VNA-SQ-F11-04).

the defect is recurring defect. Please check for definition of recurring defect in
2.3 Defect control procedure.
Note: For effective trouble shooting of recurring defect, reference to previous
rectification history is recommended. Supports form VAECO MCC shall be
provided upon request.
Removal and installation of aircraft part must be done IAW instructions in the
AMM. Best standard practices must be pertained.
Appropriate Technical Log entry and certification must be made after part
removal/installation. For the completion of maintenance documentation and
records referred to the Completion of Maintenance Documentation/Records
Procedure for details.
b) Defect deferring:
An Acceptable Deferred Defect may be raised when a defect occurs on an
aircraft which can not be rectified immediately due to lack of spares, equipment,
tooling, manpower or insufficient of aircraft downtime, but the deferral of that
defect does not impair the ability of the aircraft to safely continue in service
until rectification action can be completed. Before raising an ADD the full
implications of the ADD on the airworthiness and flight safety of the aircraft
must be considered.
Appropriate Technical Log entry and certification shall be made for the ADD by
an authorized engineer before the aircraft can be released to service. Refer to the
Completion of Maintenance Documentation/Records Procedure for details.
Note: In some circumstances, CONCESSION shall be applied for defect
deferring. Please check for the valid CONCESSION if any currently applied for
the aircraft or contact VAECO MCC for details in any doubt situation.
For defects, which are classified as RECURRING in 2.3 Defect control
procedure, deferral of the defect for the second time under the same ADD
reference number is allowed at outstations only. All necessary trouble shooting
actions IAW the aircraft maintenance manual must be carried out to identify the
defected part(s) before ADD re-open. Techlog entry and application of a Note to
Crews and Engineers form must be IAW 2.3 Defect control procedure and
related procedures. Note that the phrases THIS IS AN RECURRING
DEFECT and ADD number RE-OPEN must be specified in the technical log

book entry. Procedure for concession therefore shall not be applied to all
recurring defects.
c) Swap/Rob of A/C parts/components
This Instruction is established to provide the guideline for maintenance staff to
follow when carrying out swapping of parts/components for troubleshooting
and/or releasing A/C to service in accordance with approved maintenance data
such as AMM, TSM, FIM, MEL,.
VNA has policy to swap/rob components for trouble shooting and defect
rectification. This practice is only performed with permission from MOC.
In extreme circumstances, the swapping can be used to rectify the defect or to
avoid the deficiency subjected to limitations in the approved data (i.e. MEL,
etc.) to release A/C to service.
Swapping cannot be used as a mean to extend time limitation of deferred
defects.
- Swapping for trouble shooting:
Swapping is acceptable method of troubleshooting to confirm the defect,
when there is no required spare available or maybe the case when the part is
suspected to be of un-serviceable.
The swapping action must be carried out as follows:
+ The engineer carrying out troubleshooting must ensure that there is no
better alternative means to confirm the defect.
+ The parts to be swapped must be of the same P/N, and modification
status. If not, the interchangeability of parts must be qualified from the
applicable approved documents (such as IPC, Service Bulletins, etc.).
+ In order not to carry the faults (if any) across between the systems, it must
ensure that all necessary maintenance actions are performed (such as
computer memory erasure before and after swapping ). It also must
make sure that all relevant precautions are applied, such as ESDS parts
handling procedures, etc.
+ The serviceability of the swapped parts can be assessed directly from the
Technical Log before swapping, i.e. there is no any defect reported for the
part that is considered serviceable.
+ The swapping is preferable to carry out between the parts that are
installed on the same aircraft.
+ If there is a need to swap the parts installed on different aircraft, this is
ONLY allowed to do between the two aircraft located at the same place,

at the same time, provided the defect can be confirmed by ground


operational (or functional) check and the parts will be returned back to
the original installations immediately after that. No swapping of the parts
installed on different aircraft is permitted if the defect can only be
confirmed during the flight.
+ The swapped parts shall be returned to the original installations, if
swapping of the parts installed on the same aircraft can confirm the
defects by operational (or functional) check on the ground. If the defect
requires flight conditions to be confirmed, the entry in the Aircraft
Technical Log shall be made to reflect the change in positions of the
swapped parts with the relevant details recorded in the GRN column of
Part Replacement Box as follows:
+ EX. POS. 1 (FWD, AFT, LH, RH, etc.), with POS. 1 (FWD,
AFT, LH, RH, etc.) is original position of installation (Position 1,
Forward, Aft, Left Hand, Right Hand, etc.), where the part has been
removed from (EX.)
+ In any case, an entry in the Aircraft Technical Logs ACTION TAKEN
box shall be made to record the troubleshooting action carried out, and
certify for serviceability of the part that has been removed and installed
back to the original position.
- Swapping for defect rectification to release A/C to service:
When the defect occurred, spare parts are not available and/or there is the
request of in time operation swapping of the parts can be used to bring the
reported defect back to within the MEL limitations (such as Captains
priority in minimum equipment), the action can be authorized for the parts
that installed in the same aircraft ONLY, with the written permission from
VNA MOC Duty Manager, as the unserviceable part will be fitted back into
the aircraft as dummy part.
The procedure requirements for swapping of the parts will be following:
+ The faulty part must be positively confirmed.
+ The engineer must ensure that there is no better alternative means to
release the aircraft, taking into account the scheduled aircraft departure
time, part supply availability and timing, any operational factors that
could affect the intended flight, etc.
+ Request for swapping parts will be forwarded by any communication
means (SITA, fax) to VNA MOC with all the details available at the time.
Authorization in writing from VNA MOC Duty Manager will be sent
back to the VAECO MCC and/or Outstation as soon as it is considered
acceptable.

+ The parts to be swapped must be of the same P/N, and modification


status. If not, the interchangeability of parts must be qualified from the
applicable approved documents (such as IPC, Service Bulletins, etc.).
+ The engineer must make sure that the swapping of the parts shall not in
anyway affect other operating systems, or the faults (if any) shall not be
carried across between the systems. As minimum requirement, the actions
that must be applied as if appropriate are, but not limited to:
all computers memory of the swapped parts must be erased or reset
after fault codes (if any) have been readout and recorded in the
Aircraft Technical Log for later shop use;
the parts must be thoroughly cleaned and accordingly inspected
before installation;
the CBs of the unserviceable parts must be pulled out and collared.
+ The Technical Log entry shall be made with all details of the reason and
the change in positions of the swapped parts. All the relevant details
recorded in the GRN column of Part Replacement Box as follows:
+ EX. POS. 1 (FWD, AFT, LH, RH, etc.), with POS. 1 (FWD,
AFT, LH, RH, etc.) is original position of installation (Position 1,
Forward, Aft, Left Hand, Right Hand, etc.), where the part has been
removed from (EX.).
+ An ADD shall be raised IAW Instruction 3. Defect deferring for the
defect within the limitations of MEL scope after installation and
operational or functional check has been carried out satisfactory as per
relevant AMM.
- Rob of parts/components
Rob of pats/components/ from A/C and/or stock higher assembly for
installation onto A/C to release to service is acceptable
The procedure requirements for swapping of the parts will be following:
+ Request for swapping parts will be forwarded by any communication
means (SITA, fax) to VNA MOC with all the details available at the
time. Authorization in writing from VNA MOC Duty Manager will be

- Logistic arrangement and coordination of critical spares must be focused
through the MOC/MCC together with the Local VNA Representative
Officer in order to expedite the shipping arrangement for the quick release
of aircraft to service.
- Appropriate incoming inspections of the part/component received must be
done before installation by checking the accompanied release certificates,
physical conditions of the part and its packing and all the limitations if any
(LLP, shell-life items).
Note: Items controlled by calendar time are allowed to run on a
monthly basis. It is acceptable for serviceable labels to merely show
the month or quarter and year of life expiry, in which case the last
day of the month or last day (of the month) of the quarter will be
considered as the expiry date. In case that there are several labels
attached to the items showing different expiry dates, the date of
expiry coming first will take precedence.
- All relevant precautions must be applied during handling of special items,
such as ESDS parts etc.
- Component replacement must be done as soon as spare has been arrived
and incoming inspection of the part(s)/component(s) was passed.
- All required paper work for the removal/installation must be accomplished
as per the Completion of Maintenance Documentation/Records Procedure. .
Note: If the part installed is a Loan/Pool Item, this information must be also
entered into the Technical Log for follow up action by raising an ADD type
C Loan/Pool part.
c) Returning of defective parts to main base:
This Procedure provides the guideline for returning the defective components to
main base.
Only the rotable components which defects are not classified as beyond
economic repair will be returned to main base. Other components including
consumable that may be required to be retained for investigation in the case of
incident/accident will be returned to main base when Outstation Manager is
requested to do so.
The defective components shall be packed in the proper packing (preferable
original one), which must meet all transportation requirements and any

b) Limit Maintenance Inspections:


Chapter 5 of each Aircraft Maintenance Manual shows required inspections for
incidents such as turbulence, hard landing, corrosive spillage, lightning strike,
heavy/overweight landing, etc. If an incident happens, certified staff has to
inspect the aircraft IAW AMM instructions. Inspection performance, result and
action taken must be written in Techlog.
4.1.6 Recording of tooling and test equipments used for maintenance:
This Instruction is established to provide a mandatory requirement for
traceability of tooling or test equipment used for maintenance or calibration of
aircraft systems/aircraft components/test equipment.
During maintenance or calibration of aircraft systems/aircraft components/test
equipment, the type, P/N and S/N of the tooling/equipment used to perform the
task must be recorded in the Technical Log by the engineer who has performed
the task.
This action does not exclude the case when the Outstation has only one tooling
or test equipment, as it may be the situation when the tooling or test equipment
dedicated to that Outstation is sent for calibration/inspection/maintenance and
other tooling or test equipment will be used as replacement.
This Instruction is also applicable when any tooling or test equipment is loaned
or borrowed from other sources/operators, for example, at the Outstations.
Examples of these tooling or test equipment are tire pressure gauges, FLUKE
meters, rigging pins, go-no-go gauges, torque wrenches, etc.
4.1.7 Structural damage repair:
Normally, Structure Damage Repair at Outstations is not included into the Line
Maintenance Contract/Agreement and is not authorized by VNA to the
contractors.
When a structure damage is found at an Outstation, if it falls within the
allowable limits and/or can be deferred, the normal approved maintenance
procedure will require the engineer, after carrying out the necessary actions, to
raise an ADD and record it in the relevant Dent and Buckle Chart before
releasing the aircraft to service, making reference to the approved document(s)
for deferment.
If the repair of structure defect is mandatory before the intended flight, VNA
will coordinate their efforts with all concerned parties to perform the repair.
Then all repair details and paperwork will be forwarded to VNA for archiving.
4.1.8 Paper works during line maintenance:
