Defect
Notification
and
Rectification
Known defect not reported / assessed
Preflight
Preflight performed without noticing

obvious defect
No evidence of identification nor

monitoring of visible damage

Definition of a SAFA Finding
A finding is a deviation from an applicable SAFA standard :
- Chicago Convention and ICAO safety-related Annexes,
- ICAO Supplementary procedures (doc 7030),
- Manufacturers standards,
- Aircraft Certification standards.
MEL/CDL/AMM/SRM
A finding is a technical issue :

- that has not been detected by the operator,
- or that has not been properly addressed during the turn around (pre-flight).
Clear distinction between a technical problem and a SAFA Finding
16


Defect within limits
ICAO requirements involving the pre-flight check / aircraft acceptance / defect
notification :
A6-I-4.3.1(a)(c) : A flight shall not be commenced until flight preparation

forms have been completed certifying that the pilot-in-command is satisfied that:
a) the aeroplane is airworthy;
c) a maintenance release as prescribed in 8.8 has been issued in respect of the
aeroplane;
A6-I-4.5.4 : The pilot-in-command shall be responsible for reporting all

known or suspected defects in the aeroplane, to the operator, at the termination of
the flight.

When an aircraft is checked and defects found as :
- seepage/leakage,
- missing screws,
- static dischargers / antennas missing,
- windshield delamination,
- inoperative bulbs on the emergency path marking
If these defects have not been properly identified, assessed and reported during
the pre-flight check
A SAFA finding will be identified
17


If the operator did not properly identify/assess/report these defects, the ramp
inspector will ask the crew to perform an evaluation of the defect IAW the
applicable limitations
MEL/CDL/AMM/SRM
If the assessed defect appears to be outside the permitted limitations

Cat 3 finding and immediate corrective action requested
If the assessed defect appears to be within the permitted limitations
Cat 2 finding
A24 Pre-flight inspection performed

without noticing obvious defects
A23 - Known defect not reported/assessed

As a conclusion : even a defect within limits can be reported as a SAFA finding
when this defect is not
Properly identified by the operator during the prepre-flight check

pre-flight
Properly assessed and reported by the operator
Does not point out a technical issue but a lack of proper identification or
assessment/reporting in the procedures of the operator.
