POLICY
Technical Services creates the initial MAS MEL with the participation of MDCA, QA,
Flight Operations and Maintenance departments/divisions. The MMEL requirements are
never exceeded. Periodic review meetings deliberate MAS unique equipment,
environment and service problems for MEL amendment.
The fleet is maintained and operated to ETOPS standards by default. Non-ETOPS and
regraded ETOPS are the exception.
No deviations are permitted from the requirement specified for ETOPS. Procedures
ensure non-ETOPS and regraded ETOPS statuses are communicated effectively.
Certain items in the MEL have different dispatch requirements for ETOPS flights than for
non-ETOPS flights. These differences have been noted in the Malaysia Airlines MEL
with the acronym E in bold faced type next to each applicable item, and/or by diversion
time applicability.

20.1
PURPOSE
To ensure compliance to the oil consumption monitoring program
20.2
SCOPE
Applies to Maintenance and Technical Services Departments.
20.3
DEFINITION
The OCM determines the oil consumption rate for engines and APU.
20.4
POLICY
The OCM is used to determine the normal consumption rate for engines and APUs.
These rates are monitored over time to detect any increases. Once an increase is
detected, an investigation is initiated to determine the cause. If warranted, corrective
actions are initiated to prevent a malfunction or engine shutdown.
The OCM program is for the main engines uses two methods. The continuous averaging
method monitors any gradual increase in oil consumption with time. The single sector
consumption method monitors for sudden increase in oil consumption. For APU, oil
consumption is calculated whenever there is oil uplift.
20.5
PROCEDURE

21.
21.1
PURPOSE
To detail the Engine Condition Monitoring program.
21.2
SCOPE
Applies to Technical Services Department.
21.3
DEFINITION
The ECM is an analytical process that uses in-flight engine parameters plotted with
respect to time to assess installed engine health and instrumentation procedures.
21.4
POLICY
Turbine Engine ACMS Monitoring (TEAM III) software, is from Pratt & Whitney. It
monitors engine performance and is used for troubleshooting. Modular Performance
Analysis (MPA) is also available. Any deviation of ECM parameters is not a reason for
automatic engine removal. An alert value triggers further investigation to get as mush
substantiating information as possible. Appropriate maintenance action could fix the
problem.
TEAM III requires ACMS data acquired at take off, climb, and stable cruise conditions for
calculation and trending of ECM and MPA. Facilities for manual data entry from
manually recorded parameters are also available.
Basic engine and aircraft input data include, but not limited to, aircraft identification, date,
time, altitude, Mach number, low and high pressure compressor exit temperatures and
pressures, high pressure compressor stator vane angle, stability bleed and customer
engine bleed information. Certain additional engine and aircraft date such as vibration,
oil pressure and temperature, and throttle position are also processed.
Engine and aircraft data collected by the ACMS can be sent to the ground automatically
via ACARS, and configured for input into TEAM III together with other information.
TEAM III reports are produced by a Report Generation System. This system can be
used to provide reports on request, or to generate automatically as an integrated portion
of TEAM III operation. All trend plots are available as short-term or long-term reports.
21.5
PROCEDURE
STSE (AV)
Input through the conversion routine into TEAM III daily for both
cruise and takeoff data. If ACMS is inoperative, Flight Crew to fill

IDENTICAL MAINTENANCE OF MULTIPLE, SIMILAR SYSTEM
1 August 2010
Page 23- 1
23.
23.1
PURPOSE
To ensure that identical maintenance actions taken on multiple similar elements in
ETOPS significant systems are confirmed effective prior to aircraft despatch on an
ETOPS flight
23.2
SCOPE
Applies to Maintenance Department and any sub-contracted third party employed to do
maintenance
23.3
DEFINITION
An ETOPS significant system is a system or component which, if failed, may cause a
diversion or impede the safety of the aircraft or passengers during the diversion.
Identical maintenance action is the same task (i.e. repair, replacement, or disassembly)
done on more than one of similar system during the same maintenance visit.
23.4
POLICY
Identical maintenance action must not be done on similar ETOPS significant systems.
This ensures human factor errors are not introduced.
Removal of both engine oil filters or both chip detectors, replacement of both IDGs or
EDPs are examples of identical maintenance actions. Servicing of fluids and gases is
not considered for ETOPS identical maintenance actions procedures. However, if these
actions are affected by the requirements of the Inspection Notice Maintenance on
Critical System, then the procedures of the Inspection Notice must be complied.
The practice of swapping similar ETOPS significant system components from one part of
the aircraft to another for the purpose of trouble-shooting must be avoided.
Job Instruction cards for scheduled maintenance or modifications on ETOPS significant
systems have notes to prevent identical maintenance action.
If identical actions do occur or cannot be avoided, apply one of the following to ensure
human factor or defective components do not degrade ETOPS:
1. Do identical maintenance at different maintenance visits
2. Different LAEs and different maintenance personnel do maintenance on the
similar systems
3. A qualified third party (e.g. flight crew) to do inspection
4. Communicate with MCC for directions
5. Do verification actions per Part 22 to ensure integrity
6. Company policy states leak checks on both engines at ground runs as identical
maintenance action. Verification action by specified ground checks by only ONE
qualified person is NOT allowed.

PURPOSE
To ensure compliance to the ETOPS Supplemental Maintenance Program
Requirements.

DEFINITION
The ETOPS Supplemental Maintenance Program includes all maintenance activities
required for ETOPS. They are:
1. ETOPS Predeparture Service Check
2. Oil Consumption Monitoring Program
3. Engine Condition Monitoring Program
4. Propulsion System Monitoring Program
5. Resolution of Airplane Discrepancies
6. Maintenance of Multiple Systems
7. ETOPS Part Control
27.4
POLICY
The basic and ETOPS maintenance program is extracted from the MPD. The CMP tasks
are also included in the MPD and therefore extracted.
The maintenance program ensures that airframe and propulsion system continues to be
maintained at performance and reliability levels required for ETOPS. The existing
procedures to create a maintenance program i.e. from the MPD and MAS experience is
maintained. This results in the Maintenance Schedule. The Maintenance Schedule and
its continuous evolution via the approved Reliability Program is maintained. ECM and
OCM are also used.
ETOPS task intervals cannot be exceeded. MDCA approves the initial and all
subsequent changes to the Maintenance Program.
The ETOPS Predeparture Service Check is integrated in the Transit and Stayover
Check. Therefore, ETOPS Predeparture Service Check is done for all flights.
