Q & A

What is covered in Quiz One?

Quiz One covers material from modules one and two, which includes topics like type design, safety management systems, regulations versus standards, and various aspects of aviation regulations and standards.

Where can students find the review material for Quiz One?

Students can find the review material for Quiz One in the student resources section of Brightspace under a document titled 'Quiz One Review'.

What is the difference between the Transport Canada and Justice Department websites in terms of aviation regulations?

Transport Canada's website contains regulations and standards for aviation, while the Justice Department's website contains legal texts and acts that authorize the creation of these regulations.

What is a Safety Management System (SMS) and who does it apply to?

A Safety Management System is a program for reporting safety issues and hazards in the workplace. It applies to organizations such as Airworthiness Maintenance Organizations (AMOs), operators, and airports.

Where are the standards for aircraft maintenance engineer licensing and training found?

The standards for aircraft maintenance engineer licensing and training are found in Chapter 566 of the Airworthiness Manual, Part 5.

Which part of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) contains only regulations and no standards?

Part One of the CARs contains only regulations and no standards.

Which parts of the CARs are relevant to AMEs?

Parts One, Two, Four, Five, Six, and Seven of the CARs are relevant to Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs).

What is the accountable executive and what are their responsibilities?

The accountable executive is the person responsible for the day-to-day activities of an organization. They ensure that what the organization has stated it will do is actually being done, and they are ultimately responsible if the organization is found to be non-compliant.

What is the difference between an Airworthiness Directive (AD) and a Service Bulletin (SB)?

An Airworthiness Directive is a mandatory document generated by Transport Canada to initiate design changes due to severe issues. A Service Bulletin is a recommended document generated by the manufacturer to implement design changes.

What is a Service Difficulty Report (SDR) and how is it used?

A Service Difficulty Report is a document generated by maintenance personnel when they encounter a serious issue during an inspection. It is submitted to Transport Canada, which may use the collected data to generate an Airworthiness Directive if the issue is severe enough.

What is a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) and when is it used?

A Supplemental Type Certificate is used when someone wants to make a change to someone else's type design. It is different from a Service Bulletin, which is used when a manufacturer wants to make a change to their own design.

What are the conditions for a Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) and who can make that declaration?

A CofA can be issued under certain conditions, such as the aircraft being in a fit and safe state for flight and conforming to its type design. For new aircraft, the manufacturer can make the declaration, while for used aircraft, it must be an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME).
