Module 7. Maintenance practices

If the operator varies the content of the maintenance schedule, what action must be taken?

  • Amend the Maintenance Schedule first and then seek CAA approval.
  • Await CAA approval before amending the Maintenance Schedule.
  • Amend the Maintenance Schedule without further approval.

Explanation

Because the maintenance schedule is a CAA-approved document, any variation to its content must first be approved by the CAA before the schedule is amended and acted upon. Amending it first and seeking approval afterwards, or amending without approval, would mean operating to an unapproved schedule. CAA approval must precede the amendment.

ramesh321 asking:

whenever manufacturer makes any changes in the publication it is the duty of operator to revise their maintenance schedule and apply for approval.Authority may take time to approve.so its first step is to amend and seek for approval rather than waiting for CAA approval before amending because in some cases it may be mandatory and needs to be done in very short period of time.

please explain those who agree to
Await CAA approval before amending the Maintenance Schedule

the main words in this question "if the operator varies",. you must first get CAA approval before amending Maintenance schedule. As dimky said there wasn't mentioned manufacturer.
