7. WORK ORDERS / CONTRACTS

A. Prior to conducting maintenance activities, FMS will first obtain a Work Order / Contract (i.e. Service Order) from the customer (reference Section I of the QCM regarding Service Orders).

B. The Service Order will be used to describe the scope of work to be accomplished for the

customer. Service Orders will annotate the details, specify the inspections, repairs, alterations, overhaul, airworthiness directives and parts replacements that are to be carried out.

C. The Director of Maintenance or his/her designee is responsible to communicate with the

customer for any workscope or other situation that requires specific clarification or interpretation, or should any doubt exist of understanding to ensure completeness of and compliance with the customers’ Service Order. The Director of Maintenance will involve as necessary the Chief Inspector for issues concerning inspection and/or other quality matters.

D. The customer remains responsible for correctly informing FMS through the Service Order

of all required maintenance and alterations. 8. APPROVED DESIGN AND REPAIR DATA

A. Changes to the type design: Major Changes, Minor Changes, STCs.

(1) The EASA-approved design engineering data is normally data supplied by an EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA) holder, or data approved by the National Aviation Authority of the Type Certificate Holder (or equivalent), or data supplied by the customer and approved by the EASA. In all cases, the customer is responsible for confirmation of data approval. Details for the acceptance and/or validation of FAA approved changes to the type design by EASA are contained in Annex 1 to the Agreement and in the Technical Implementation Procedures (TIP).

NOTE: EASA defines “design change” as a change to the type design. EASA does

not automatically accept alterations that affect type design.

FLORIDA MODIFICATION SPECIALISTS, LLC (FMS) SECTION: MAIN EASA SUPPLEMENT PAGE: 9 REPAIR STATION NUMBER 3FMR327B DATE: 11/12/15 EASA.145.6282 REV: 06

NOTE: An EU company must use EASA Part 21 for the approval of repair data for use on an EU-registered aircraft. Unless the minor repair data has been previously used on an N-registered aircraft, an EU company cannot determine any data to be acceptable data under 14 CFR Part 43 for use on an EU-registered aircraft.

c. In these circumstances, repair design data is considered to be EASA approved

following its approval or acceptance under the FAA’s system. This process does not require application to EASA or compliance findings to the EASA certification basis.

(2) Critical Components

NOTE: A critical component is defined as a part identified as critical by the design approval holder during the validation process, or otherwise by the exporting authority. Typically, such components include parts for which a replacement time, inspection interval, or related procedure is specified in the Airworthiness Limitations section or certification maintenance requirements of the manufacturer’s maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.

a. EASA shall accept any critical component repair design data from a TC/STC

holder, regardless of the State of Design of the product, if:

i. EASA has certificated/validated the product, and ii. The FAA is the authority of the State of Design for the repair design data.

iii. In these circumstances, repair design data is considered to be EASA

approved following its approval under the FAA’s system. This process does not require application to EASA or compliance findings to the EASA certification basis.

b. Repair design data on critical components, developed by organizations/persons

that are not the TC/STC Holder, shall be submitted to the Agency for approval following the standard application procedure, with an EASA Form 31. Applicants do not need to hold a DOA if the repair data has been approved by the FAA.

FLORIDA MODIFICATION SPECIALISTS, LLC (FMS) SECTION: MAIN EASA SUPPLEMENT PAGE: 18 REPAIR STATION NUMBER 3FMR327B DATE: 11/12/15 EASA.145.6282 REV: 06

C. The FMS Chief Inspector or his/her designee will submit this form in accordance with the timeframe specified in EASA Part-145, when reportable problems are found on an aircraft, power plant, propeller, or component thereof that is subject to the regulatory control of EASA. NOTE: EASA Part-145 occurrence reporting requirements include SUP reporting

requirements

D. The Chief Inspector or his/her designee shall be responsible for the reporting of Suspected Unapproved Part (SUPS) (reference Section III of the FMS QCM).

14. QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM (QAS)

A. This section describes the detailed procedures FMS will use for the operation of an independent QAS.

B. The primary objective of the QAS is to enable the organization to satisfy itself that it can

deliver a safe product and that it remains in compliance with 14 CFR part 43, 14 CFR part 145, and the EASA Special conditions.

C. The FMS CEO / Accountable Manager is responsible to ensure compliance with and the effectiveness of the QAS.

D. The Chief Inspector is responsible for developing an audit plan annually that includes applicable paragraphs of 14 CFR part 43 and part 145 and the EASA special conditions including assigning audits and analyzing their results.

E. The QAS should include all the contracted work in accordance with guidance given in item 16 of this Supplement.

F. There are two elements to the system: (1) An independent audit system.

a. The independent audit system is a process of sample audits of all aspects of the repair station’s ability to carry out all maintenance to the required standards. It represents an overview of the complete maintenance system and does not replace the need for mechanics to ensure that they carry out maintenance to the required standard nor does it replace any associated inspection/quality control system. Independence shall be established by ensuring that audits are not carried out by the personnel responsible for the function, procedure, or product being audited.

Page 19: FLORIDA MODIFICATION SPECIALISTS, LLC SECTION: INTR O … · The Maintenance Annex agreed to by the FAA and EASA specifies the basic differences between EASA Part-145 and 14 CFR part

FLORIDA MODIFICATION SPECIALISTS, LLC (FMS) SECTION: MAIN EASA SUPPLEMENT PAGE: 19 REPAIR STATION NUMBER 3FMR327B DATE: 11/12/15 EASA.145.6282 REV: 06

b. The audit system shall cover the oversight of all multiple facilities and line stations under the approval and must contain as a minimum the following:

i. Procedural audits. The audits should monitor compliance with required

aircraft/aircraft component standards and adequacy of the maintenance procedures to ensure that such procedures invoke good maintenance practices and airworthy aircraft/aircraft components.

ii. Product audits. The sample check of a product means to witness any relevant

testing and visually inspect the product and associated documentation. The sample check should not involve repeat disassembly or testing unless the sample check identifies findings requiring such action.

c. It is acceptable to use personnel from one section/department to audit the work

and products of another section/department in accordance with a procedure under this section, which defines the audit program.

d. The process of sample audits may be carried out once per year as a single

exercise or conducted in segments during a period of one year in accordance with the audit program contained in this Supplement. All applicable 14 CFR parts 43 and 145 provisions and the EASA Special Conditions as detailed in this guidance should be checked at least once per year against each primary product line.

e. A primary product line is any one aircraft, engine, avionic, or mechanical product

line where the systems and procedures are very similar throughout that product line.

f. Repair stations with fewer than 10 employees may contract the audit function to a

person acceptable to EASA who is not employed by the repair station. But in this case the audit of all applicable 14 CFR parts 43 and 145 provisions and EASA Special Conditions as detailed in this guidance must be carried out twice per year.

(2) A management/control and follow up system.

a. The management control follow up system, which must not be contracted to outside persons, consists of a system to ensure that all findings/discrepancies resulting from the independent audit system are corrected in a timely manner and to enable the accountable manager to remain informed of the state of compliance and any safety issues. The accountable manager should hold routine meetings to check the progress on clearing outstanding findings/discrepancies, except that in the larger repair stations such meetings may be delegated on a day-to-day basis to the Quality Manager as long as the accountable manager meets at least once per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance.

Page 20: FLORIDA MODIFICATION SPECIALISTS, LLC SECTION: INTR O … · The Maintenance Annex agreed to by the FAA and EASA specifies the basic differences between EASA Part-145 and 14 CFR part

FLORIDA MODIFICATION SPECIALISTS, LLC (FMS) SECTION: MAIN EASA SUPPLEMENT PAGE: 20 REPAIR STATION NUMBER 3FMR327B DATE: 11/12/15 EASA.145.6282 REV: 06

b. Where the repair station has associated line stations and/or additional fixed locations, the system should describe how these are integrated into the system and shall specify the need to audit each line station and/or additional fixed location at least once per year.

c. Where applicable, each line station that is used by an aircraft operated under the

regulatory control of an EU Operator in accordance with the conditions of the Maintenance Annex should be listed giving its location and the basic maintenance capability at each such location.

d. The QAS as specified in this section must be extended to include the need for the

approved maintenance organization to audit the listed line station and/or additional fixed locations.

e. One example of the particular product line shall be used as the basis of each audit,

except in the case of stores audits when a random selection of parts should be used for the audit. It therefore follows that a repair station maintaining aircraft and engines (off aircraft) and mechanical parts (off aircraft) would need to carry out three audit sample checks each year with the particular product type changed each year. A sample audit program is attached (see Appendix II of this Supplement).

f. A report shall be prepared for each audit carried out describing what was checked

and any resulting findings/discrepancies. The report should be sent to the relevant departments for rectification action giving target rectification dates. The relevant departments are required to rectify the findings/discrepancies and inform the quality department.

g. Discrepancies will be recorded on FMS Corrective Action Request (CAR) FMS

Form QA-0045, and the process in QCM, Section IX, paragraph 2. applied.

h. A product should be selected in each hangar and each workshop and the sample audit program conducted at least once per year (twice per year in the case of a repair station with fewer than 10 employees and which chooses to contract the audit to an outside person except that in the case of procedures which are common throughout the repair station, the procedures need only be audited once per year if there are no problems).

(3) An example EASA Audit Checklist plan is located in Appendix II of this Supplement.

The EASA Audit Checklist is derived from the MAG provides the elements that must be audited. It is intended that the EASA Audit Checklist plan is used in conjunction with FMS Internal Audit Checklist (Form QA-0009).

(4) The Chief Inspector will retain a copy of the EASA Audit Checklist, FMS Internal Audit Checklist (Form QA-0009), narrative report, and any other associate audit documents. NOTE: Also refer to the FMS QCM, Section IX pertaining to Audit and Corrective

Action. 15. PROVISION OF HANGAR SPACE FOR AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE

A. This section described the procedures FMS will use to ensure that covered hangar space is available for the Base maintenance of aircraft operated under the regulatory control of an EU Member State undergoing maintenance and/or alteration.

B. The FMS CEO / Accountable Manager is responsible to ensure that when the customer

and FMS sign a contract for maintenance, the agreement confirms that hangar space will be available at the time of maintenance and alterations.

C. The Director of Maintenance or his/her designee is responsible to ensure the provision of covered hangar space is provided while Base maintenance of aircraft operated under the regulatory control of an EU Member State is undergoing maintenance and/or alteration. NOTE: The RSM Section IV, paragraph 3. provides a description of the FMS Housing

and Facilities. 16. CONTRACTED MAINTENANCE

A. This section describes the procedures FMS will use to ensure that the items to be contracted are specified and that the contract meets the terms of the implementation procedures.

NOTE: Refer FMS RSM, Section IX regarding Contract Maintenance.

B. When part of the maintenance is contracted to another organization, FMS shall ensure

that the other organization is approved to EASA Part-145 for the maintenance they carry out (contracting).

(1) If maintenance is contracted to a non-EASA-approved organization (subcontracting),

then this is considered to be a Non–certificated Facility. In such a case, FMS is fully responsible for ensuring its airworthiness.

C. List of Contractors (1) EASA recognizes 14 CFR part 145 requirements for the Repair Station Manual to

contain a list of all contractors utilized by the Repair Station and approved by the FAA as part of the Repair Station Manual.

(2) FMS Master Vendor/Contractor List (Form QA-0027) is used as an all-inclusive listing

to easily identify the authorized vendors that FMS utilizes to provide services and/or materials to FMS, including certificated and noncertificated contractors. FMS Form QA-0027 also records certificate type and ratings as applicable.

(3) FMS Forms QA-0035 (FMS Supplier/Vendor/Agency Audit Questionnaire) and

QA-0036 (FMS Supplier Vendor (145) Audit Checklist/Questionnaire) are used in conjunction with Form QA-0027. Section A. 2. of Form QA-0036 specifically records certifications including contractors who hold an EASA 145 certificate.

(4) FMS shall make FMS Forms QA-0027, QA-0035, and QA-0036 available to EASA on

request. D. Qualifying and Auditing Contractor

(1) FMS uses Forms QA-0035 (FMS Supplier/Vendor/Agency Audit Questionnaire) and

QA-0036 (FMS Supplier Vendor (145) Audit Checklist/Questionnaire) to qualify and audit contractors.

(2) FMS is only authorized to contract maintenance work to a non-EASA-certificated

source if FMS is appropriately rated itself to perform the work.

a. FMS is responsible for approving for Return to service each item on which work is performed and for ensuring its airworthiness.

b. Any non-EASA- approved contractor to which work is contracted must be under

the control of FMS’s QAS. Additionally, FMS must inspect each item on which contracted work has been performed for compliance with this supplement.

c. If FMS is unable to determine the quality of contracted work, the work can only be

contracted to an EASA- approved facility that is able to test and/or inspect the work performed and issue a Return to service for the work performed. If the contracted item must be disassembled by FMS to determine the quality of the work performed, then it should not be contracted to a non-EASA-approved source.

(3) Contracting to EASA-approved Facilities

a. If/when FMS contracts functions to another organization that is EASA-approved, the contractor is responsible for approving the Return to service for each item on which it has worked.

b. When considering contracting functions for European Union (EU)-registered

aircraft, the FMS Planner/Purchaser will first coordinate with the FMS Chief Inspector to determine that the EASA-approved Repair Station to which work is contracted, is properly certificated to perform that work. The Chief Inspector will use information provided by FMS Forms QA-0027, QA-0035, and QA-0036 for his/her determination.

(4) Receiving Inspections

a. Refer to Section III of the FMS QCM regarding Receiving, Stores, and Shipping. This section contains procedures including but not limited to:

i. Items received from a non-certificated contract agency, ii. Inspection Personnel assigned to receiving,

iii. Procedures regarding enabling an airworthiness determination of any item

received based on a technical review of the contractor’s source documentation to ensure all portions of the work performed meet the details and specifications of technical data provided for the work and the requirements of the purchase order.

b. As with all repair station documentation, records are retained for two (2) years in

compliance with the recordkeeping requirements of 14 CFR §145.219. (5) Audits

a. Section IX of the RSM provides the procedure for oversight of noncertificated contractors. As noted, depending on the nature and complexity of the service being provided and company specifics, noncertificated contractors may also require scheduled and/or random onsite surveillance inspections during the performance of the maintenance function.

b. The purchase order process provides information and is subsequently used during

the receiving process to check compliance regarding details such as specifications of technical data provided for the subject work (reference Section III (Receiving, Stores, and Shipping) of the FMS QCM).

The following are acceptable Block 11 entries for FMS: Enter— For— “Overhauled” A process that ensures the product or article is

in complete conformity with the applicable service tolerances specified in the type certificate holder’s or equipment manufacturer’s instructions for continued airworthiness, or in the data approved or accepted by the authority. The product or article will be at least disassembled, cleaned, inspected, repaired as necessary, reassembled, and tested in accordance with the approved or accepted data.

“Repaired” Repair of defect(s) using an applicable standard.

“Inspected” or “Tested” Examination or measurement in accordance with an applicable standard (for example, visual inspection, functional testing, or bench testing).

“Modified” Alteration of a product or article to conform to an applicable standard

NOTE: The applicable standard must be described in Block 12.

Block 12. Remarks. The use of upper or lower case in this block does not matter.

(1) Describe the work identified in Block 11 and associated results

necessary for the user or installer to determine the airworthiness of the product or article in relation to the work being certified. This can be done either directly or by reference to supporting documentation. If necessary, a separate sheet may be used and referenced from the main FAA Form 8130-3. Each statement must clearly identify which product or article in Block 6 it relates to.

(2) Below are examples of conditions that could necessitate a statement in

this block. These statements may or may not be appropriate depending on the form’s purpose.

(a) Data required by § 43.9, including the reference and revision status.

If other documents such as work orders, shop travelers, or FAA Form 337, Major Repair and Alteration (Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance), are used by the certificate holder to comply with §§ 43.9 and 43.11, they must be specifically referenced in this block.

(b) Compliance with ADs or service bulletins.

(c) Repairs carried out. (d) Modifications carried out. (e) Replacement articles installed. (f) Life-limited parts status (for example, total time, total cycles, time

since new). (g) If a specific batch or lot number is used to control or trace the

product or article, enter the batch or lot number in this block. (h) Deviations from the customer work order. (i) Release statements to satisfy a CAA maintenance requirement. (j) Information needed to support shipment with shortages or

re-assembly after delivery.

Note: Examples in paragraph 3-6l(2)(i) of FAA Order 8130.21H (as revised) show the possibility of dual release against both part 43 and another CAA’s maintenance requirement or the single release by a part 145-approved maintenance facility against a CAA maintenance requirement. However, care should be taken to check the relevant box(es) in Block 14a to validate the release. A dual release requires the approved data to be approved/accepted by both the FAA and appropriate CAA.

Blocks 13a through 13e

Blocks 13a through 13e are not to be used by the repair station. Shade, darken, or otherwise mark to preclude inadvertent or unauthorized use.

Block 14a Approval for Return To Service. Mark the appropriate box(es) indicating which regulations apply to the completed work. If the box “Other regulations specified in Block 12” is marked, then the regulations of the other CAA(s) must be identified in Block 12. At least the left box must be marked, or both boxes may be marked, as appropriate.
