**GENERAL MAINTENANCE MANUAL GUIDE**

PREFACE

The General Maintenance Manual (GMM) Guide provides information for
developing an agency GMM. An agency GMM should include procedures that
adequately cover all Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) that pertain to
your agency and its unique aviation operations. The GMM Guide was
developed to reduce that time required to develop appropriate
operational procedures in a standardized format.

The GMM Guide is intended for use as a sample in the development of an
agency GMM. Each agency GMM should be developed within the FAR\'s that
pertain to its specific aviation operation. In that regard, an agency
operating a Gulfstream GII or Boeing B-727 would have a different GMM
requirement than an agency operating a Cessna CE-182. Material included
in portions of this guide may not directly relate to or be required by a
referenced FAR; however, that material may be considered a necessary
part of any GMM.

A GMM must contain an agency\'s policies and procedures. A policy is a
statement of intent. For example, if an agency requires a check to
ensure the fuel in the tanker is the correct grade prior to fueling
operations, this is a policy. The procedure outlines how the crewmember
will obtain and test the fuel sample. A procedure should explain:

1\. WHO

Who the procedure is speaking to.

Who will accomplish the procedure.

Who is responsible to see the procedure is accomplished.

Who is the accountable individual (a position, a facility, agency etc.).

2\. WHAT

What the procedure is about.

What the procedure is trying to accomplish.

What the person performing the procedure should do.

3\. WHEN

When the procedure will be accomplished:

a\. The intervals (hours, cycles or calendar).

b\. The specific date or time.

4\. WHERE

Where the procedure will be accomplished.

a\. The specific facility and location.

b\. The specific type of facility.

5\. WHY

Why the procedure is required.

Why the procedure is to be accomplished.

6\. HOW

How the procedure will be accomplished.

a\. In accordance with:

1\. Manufacturers recommended procedures.

2\. Procedures approved by the FAA.

3\. Agency approved procedures.

Each agency\'s GMM should be developed to address all operations as they
relate to maintenance operation standards. This guide provides a sample
GMM as well as a standardized format to follow when developing the
agency\'s maintenance operations standards. A close working relationship
with the FAA Flight Standards District Office is necessary from the
initial regulatory review, program development, and FAA/FSDO acceptance.

**Glossary of Terms**

[AIRCRAFT]{.underline} means a device that is used or intended to be
used for flight in the air.

[AIRCRAFT ENGINE]{.underline} means an engine that is used or intended
to be used for propelling aircraft. It includes turbo-superchargers,
appurtenances, and accessories necessary for its functioning, but does
not include propellers.

[AIRFRAME]{.underline} means the fuselage, booms, nacelles, cowlings,
fairings, airfoil surfaces (including rotors but excluding propellers
and rotating airfoils of engines), and landing gear of an aircraft and
their accessories and controls.

[AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE]{.underline} means that work which is required to
be performed by certificated persons.

[AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE BASE]{.underline} is an agency activity performing
aircraft and avionics line maintenance functions on \<Your Agency\>
aircraft.

[AIRCRAFT OUT OF COMMISSION FOR PARTS (AOCP).]{.underline} The status of
an aircraft which should be available for service but is not, because of
the lack of a part or parts.

[AIRPLANE]{.underline} means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft
heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of
the air against its wings.

[APPROVED]{.underline} unless used with reference to another person,
means approved by the FAA Administrator.

[APPLIANCE]{.underline} means any instrument, mechanism, equipment,
part, apparatus, appurtenance, or accessory, including communications
equipment, that is used or intended to be used in operating or
controlling an aircraft in flight, is installed in or attached to the
aircraft, and is not part of an airframe, engine, or propeller.

[AVIONICS MAINTENANCE]{.underline} means that work which is required to
be performed by an avionics shop.

[BENCH CALIBRATION]{.underline} means the calibration of equipment which
is performed in an FAA approved avionics shop.

[BENCH CHECK]{.underline} means the removal of an item of equipment from
an aircraft or from stock for (1) a visual check (2) preventive
maintenance, (3) minor repair, and (4) an operational check.

[CALIBRATION]{.underline} means making precise measurements and
adjustments to equipment or systems in order to obtain optimum
performance and to certify that output data falls within prescribed
tolerances.

[COMPONENT]{.underline} any self-contained part, combination of parts,
subassemblies or units, which perform a distinctive function necessary
to the operation of the airframe, powerplant or propeller.

[CONDITION MONITORING (CM)]{.underline} means there is no fixed overhaul
time limit and, normally, no inspection/check period or scheduled task
to determine the extent of deterioration or continued serviceability of
an aircraft/system/component. All removals are therefore for unscheduled
cause. Certain condition monitoring items may have work cards called out
under one of the maintenance periods, but the task will be for servicing
or a go-no-go typecheck and not a check for continued airworthiness.

[CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)]{.underline} means
a combined program of maintenance and inspection functions used to
fulfill the total maintenance needs. The program provides a maintenance
program adequate to perform the work and an inspection program adequate
to perform required inspections. These two organizations are separate.

[CONTRACT/AGREEMENT MAINTENANCE]{.underline} refers to those functions
of a contracting officer\'s representative or other designated
maintenance representative in arranging for and administering contracts
or agreements for providing aircraft maintenance services to the agency.

[CONTROL LIMITS OR ALERT VALUES]{.underline} are maximum limits/values
which when exceeded requires analysis for possible maintenance actions.

[DISPATCH FOR MEL OPERATIONS]{.underline} dispatch occurs when the
flightcrew releases the brakes to taxi for the purpose of flight.

[ENGINE TIME CHANGES]{.underline} are those engines which reach maximum
operating time between overhaul including engines replaced within 100
hours of maximum permitted operating time to allow replacement during
scheduled inspection periods.

[ENGINE FAILURE]{.underline} means any engine requiring unscheduled
replacement due to unairworthy conditions which cannot be corrected by
routine maintenance on the aircraft.

[ENGINE CONVENIENCE REMOVAL]{.underline} applies to engines removed for
update or modification which were operating satisfactorily at time of
removal, or airworthy engines removed from aircraft in maintenance or
storage for installation on another aircraft to expedite mission

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

2\. DESCRIPTION

A. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM ELEMENTS

A continuous airworthiness maintenance program is a compilation of the
individual maintenance and inspection functions utilized by an operator
to fulfill its total maintenance needs. Authorization to use continuous
airworthiness maintenance programs is documented by Operations
Specifications - Aircraft Maintenance, approved by the Federal Aviation
Administration, for each user as provided for by \<FAR 125, FAR 135 or
FAR 91, as appropriate\>. These specifications prescribe the scope of
the program, including limitations, and they reference manuals and other
technical data as supplements to these specifications. Following are the
basic elements of continuous airworthiness maintenance programs:

\(1\) Aircraft Inspection

This element deals with the routine inspections, servicing, and tests
performed on the aircraft at prescribed intervals. It includes detailed
instructions and standards (or references thereto) by work forms, job
cards, etc., which also serve to control the activity, and to record and
account for the tasks that comprise this element.

\(2\) Scheduled Maintenance

This element concerns maintenance tasks performed at prescribed
intervals. Some are accomplished concurrently with inspection tasks that
are part of the inspection element and may be included on the same form.
Other tasks are accomplished independently. The scheduled tasks include
replacement of life-limited items, components requiring replacement for
periodic overhaul, special inspections such as X-rays, checks or tests
for on-condition items, lubrications, etc. Special work forms can be
provided for accomplishing these tasks or they can be specified by a
work order or some other document. In any case, instructions and
standards for accomplishing each task should be provided to ensure its
proper accomplishment and that it is recorded and signed for.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(3\) Unscheduled Maintenance

This element provides procedures, instructions, and standards for the
accomplishment of maintenance tasks generated by the inspection and
scheduled maintenance elements, pilot reports, failure analyses, or
other indications of a need for maintenance. Procedures for reporting,
recording, and processing inspection findings, operational malfunctions,
or abnormal operations such as hard landings, are an essential part of
this element. A continuous aircraft logbook can serve this purpose for
occurrences and resultant corrective action between scheduled
inspections. Inspections discrepancy forms are usually used for
processing unscheduled maintenance tasks in conjunction with scheduled
inspections. Instructions and standards for unscheduled maintenance are
normally provided by the operator\'s technical manuals. The procedures
to be followed in using these manuals and for recording and certifying
unscheduled maintenance are included in the operator\' procedural
manual, its GMM.

\(4\) Engine, Propeller, and Appliance Repair and Overhaul

This element concerns shop operations which, although they encompass
scheduled and unscheduled tasks, are remote from maintenance performed
to the aircraft as a unit. As with the aircraft scheduled and
unscheduled elements, instructions and standards should be provided
along with means for certifying and recording the work. Appropriate
life-limited parts replacement requirements are included in this
element.

\(5\) Structural Inspection Program/Airframe Overhaul

This element concerns the structural inspections identified as the C and
D check level by the manufacturer and/or airframe major overhaul. As
with the aircraft inspection program detailed instructions and standards
should be provided along with a work control and recording means. In
addition to structural inspection, airframe major overhaul programs
schedule extensive maintenance tasks.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(6\) Required Inspection Items (RII)

This element concerns maintenance work items which, if improperly done
or if improper parts are used, could endanger the safe operation of the
aircraft. RII items appear in all elements of the operator\'s continuous
airworthiness maintenance program. They receive the same considerations
regardless of whether or not they are related to scheduled or
unscheduled tasks; i.e., the fact that an RII requirement arises at an
awkward time or at an inconvenient location has no bearing on the need
to accomplish it properly.

\(a\) There are many tasks throughout each continuous airworthiness
maintenance program which, although not in the RII category, are
essential to a safe, reliable, and efficient aircraft. A responsible
maintenance program specifies inspection of these tasks to ensure their
proper accomplishment. The operator should designate the tasks that need
to be inspected as a general requirement to assure the effectiveness of
their program as well as the RII items. It is not the intention of the
RII requirement to cause the deletion or degradation of any inspection
tasks which the operator deems necessary for proper maintenance of its
aircraft.

\(b\) The distinction between tasks of this nature and RII items is,
again, their critical effect on airworthiness. For example, a landing
gear position indicating system might be designated for inspection due
to the need for that system in normal operation, whereas a retraction
test conducted to check adjustment of the actuating mechanism and locks
would be designated RII because improper adjustment might result in a
wheels-up landing. The operator, in determining which tasks to designate
as required inspection items, should consider the importance of, but not
limit its consideration to, the following:

[1.]{.underline} Installation, rigging, and adjustments of flight
controls.

[2.]{.underline} Installation and repair of major structural components.

[3.]{.underline} Installation of an aircraft engine, propeller, or rotor
and overhaul of calibration of certain components; such as, engines,
propellers, transmissions, and gearboxes, or navigational equipment, the
failure of which would affect the safe operation of the aircraft.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(c\) The operator should identify required inspection items on work
forms in a suitable manner. For example, such items may be identified
with the abbreviation \"RII\", an asterisk, or any workable method.

\(7\) Maintenance Manuals

The operator\'s maintenance manual, and GMM, serves to define the
continuous airworthiness maintenance program and to provide procedures
and instructions for its use. It is comprised of three general
categories; policies and procedures, detailed instructions for the
accomplishment of the scheduled inspection program, and technical
manuals for maintenance standards and methods.

These categories may be grouped in any usable manner and contained in
one single manual.

\(a\) The policies and procedures segment deals with organizational
matters, the policies of the maintenance section, procedures for the
administration of the continuous airworthiness maintenance program, test
flight requirements, and many other subjects that are peculiar to each
individual operator. It is a company publication and serves as an
administrative tool for directing and controlling the total maintenance
function and to define all facets of the maintenance operation and their
interrelationship. Quality control is a major subject of this
publication.

\(b\) The segment of the maintenance manual system dealing with the
scheduled inspection program is usually a company publication. It
normally includes the work forms or job cards associated with scheduled
inspections and detailed instructions (or specific references) for
accomplishing the inspections. In addition, this segment usually
includes forms and instructions (or references thereto) for recurring
non-routine requirements such as engine changes and abnormal landing
inspections.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(c\) Technical manuals concern how to accomplish specific tasks. They
set forth methods, technical standards, measurements, operational tests,
etc. These are usually manufacturers\' publications, the applicability
of which is designated by the policy and procedures manual. Technical
manuals can be supplemented by the operator. It should be noted that the
content of these manuals is the operator\'s responsibility regardless of
who publishes them.

\(d\) The manual system should accommodate work performed for the
certificate holder by other persons. The policies and procedures segment
of the manual should assign responsibilities and delineate procedures
for the administrative aspect of contracted work. The technical material
should be arranged for the sue and guidance of the contract agency. A
listing of agencies under contract and a brief description of the work
contracted for should be included in the manual system. In all cases the
operator\'s manuals must clearly designate who is authorized to certify
the work performed and who is authorized to execute the airworthiness
release.

B. RESPONSIBILITY FOR AIRWORTHINESS

\<FAR 135 or as appropriate\> affords certain maintenance privileges to
operators. These are:

\(1\) To perform maintenance, preventative maintenance, inspection,
repairs and alterations on the aircraft they operate.

\(2\) To develop (or adopt) a continuous airworthiness maintenance
program and to tailor and adjust that program and related practices and
procedures to best suit the operator\'s need.

With these privileges go the overall responsibility for the
effectiveness of the program and for all work performed in accordance
with the program. This responsibility applies to work performed by the
operator as well as work performed for the operator by other persons.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

C. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION ORGANIZATION

FAR 125.249 impose organizational requirements with regard to the
administration of the continuous airworthiness maintenance program. This
does not mitigate the applicability of FAR 43 nor does it waive initial
aircraft certification requirements. The Required Inspection Item (RII)
requirement causes the operator to separate the inspection organization
from the remainder of its maintenance organization to ensure proper
accomplishment of RII items. This separation applies to the following
functions:

\(1\) RII items performed by the operator\'s organization.

\(2\) Means to ensure RII items performed by other persons are subjected
to RII inspection separation by the other person\'s organization and
procedures.

\(3\) Identification of RII items by a means that is understood by the
person performing the work.

\(4\) Designation of persons authorized to accomplish RII items and
procedures to make them aware of that designation and of the scope of
the authorization. In the case of work performed by other persons, the
operator may delegate the RII function to the other person\'s inspection
organization provided the arrangement is documented and controlled by
appropriate procedures.

D. PERFORMANCE AND APPROVAL OF MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS.

The significant difference between operators with approved continuous
airworthiness maintenance programs and other operators is that FAR 125,
subpart G, establishes them as maintenance entities.

The operator is privileged to perform maintenance on its aircraft in
accordance with its continuous airworthiness maintenance program and for
other operators under corresponding parts of the Federal Aviation
Regulations in accordance with their programs. The \<Your Agency\>
limits this authority to aircraft operated by other U.S. Government
agencies.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

The operator\'s manual, its GMM, prescribes the authorizations, methods,
standards, and procedures for performance of that maintenance. This is
recognized by FAR 43.13(c).

The operator\'s aircraft are released for service (airworthiness
release, ref: FAR 125.243) following maintenance by a person
specifically authorized by the operator rather than by an individual or
repair station on their own behalf. In effect, the person signing the
release acts in the capacity of an authorized agent for the operator and
is certifying the maintenance covered by the release has having been
accomplished according to the operator\'s continuous airworthiness
maintenance program. Responsibility for each step of the accomplished
maintenance is borne by the person signing for that step and the
airworthiness release certifies the total maintenance package. This
arrangement in no way reduces the responsibility of certificated

mechanics or repair stations for maintenance functions or tasks they
perform or supervise. The operator is obligated to designate, by name or
occupational title, each airman or organization authorized to execute
the airworthiness release. In addition, the operator should designate
when a release is required. Normally, a release is required following
inspections prescribed by the operations specifications, maintenance
activities involving RII inspections, and any other significant
maintenance.

E. ARRANGEMENTS WITH OTHER PERSONS FOR MAINTENANCE.

When an operator uses the services of another person to accomplish all
or part of its continuous airworthiness maintenance program that
person\'s organization becomes, in effect, an extension of the
operator\'s organization. The operator must determine the person\'s
capability to do the work and must provide appropriate material from its
maintenance manual for that work.

\(1\) The operator should execute contractual agreements with the
persons performing its work on a continuing basis to ensure the
operator\'s interests are met. In the case of major operations such as
engine overhaul, the agreement should denote a specification for the
work and that specification should be included or referenced as part of
the operator\'s manual system.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(2\) There will be unplanned occasions where it will be necessary for
the operator to make arrangements for maintenance away from its regular
maintenance facilities. The operator may institute procedures whereby
the pilot in command or other person can make on-the-spot arrangements
for maintenance. However, the person performing the work should be
specifically authorized by a designated person in the operator\'s
organization for that work. The operator\'s procedures should outline
the steps that must be taken in order for the operator to control the
work performed.

F. CONTINUING ANALYSIS AND SURVEILLANCE.

The \<Your Agency\> will operate a program to provide for the continuing
analysis and surveillance of its continuous airworthiness maintenance
program including work performed according to their program by another
person. This requirement, in effect, establishes a quality control or
internal audit function.

\(1\) This system will provide for timely corrective action on the
following:

\(a\) Frequency of unscheduled parts replacement or need for unscheduled
maintenance.

\(b\) Degree and frequency of adjustment and calibration of equipment.

\(c\) Changes in operational capability or reliability (delays, etc.)

\(2\) This system will provide a continuous audit of the total
maintenance system to assure that everyone connected with it is in
compliance with the GMM and the applicable regulations. This will
include, but not be limited to, the following:

\(a\) All publications and work forms are current and readily available
to the user.

\(b\) Maintenance is, in fact, performed in accordance with the methods,
standards and techniques specified in the GMM.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(c\) Maintenance forms are screened for completeness and proper
entries, and RII identification.

\(d\) Records pertaining to tracked components are cross-referenced to
stock issue records, etc., to minimize error.

\(e\) Indications of inadequate training.

\(f\) Airworthiness releases are executed by designated persons and in
accordance with the procedures specified in the GMM.

\(g\) Carryover items and deferred maintenance are properly handled.

G. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM STANDARDS.

maintained in accordance with the appropriate manufacturer\'s
maintenance manuals and the FAR\'s.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

5\. CONTROL OF COMPUTING AIRCRAFT, ENGINE, EQUIPMENT, AND COMPONENT
TIME.

A. GENERAL.

The Aircraft Log Book is the official document for recording and
tracking aircraft flight time and cycles. All other documents supplement
and enhance this document.

\(1\) Aircraft flight hours are entered on the aircraft flight log book
by the flight crew upon termination of each flight.

\(2\) Before a log sheet is removed from the aircraft flight log, the
person removing the log sheet is responsible for transferring the total
aircraft hours, landings, cycles, etc., to the next log sheet (blue)
page.

\(3\) The removed log sheets are forwarded to the \<Your Agency\>
Maintenance Coordinator who checks the entries for accuracy of
computations. If any errors are found, the \<Your Agency\> Maintenance
Coordinator notifies the maintenance organization of the error and
request correction to the aircraft flight log.

\(4\) The \<Your Agency\> Maintenance Coordinator audits and corrects
the aircraft flight information in other related documents..

B. MONITORING AIRCRAFT INSPECTION AND COMPONENT TIME CHANGES.

\(1\) For aircraft owned by the \<Your Agency\>, the Maintenance
Coordinator is responsible for monitoring and scheduling of all
mandatory inspections, overhauls, and time change requirements. Routine
maintenance programs are identified by the make and models of aircraft
on Chapter/Section/Page III.4.1

\(2\) For aircraft leased or rented the lessor or renter is responsible
for identifying the aircraft maintenance requirements.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

C. VALIDATION OF AIRCRAFT TIMES AND CYCLES.

\(1\) The commercial maintenance systems identified in III.4. will
normally be used as the source of information for scheduling Mandatory
Inspections and Component Time Changes. However, it is the
responsibility of the \<Your Agency\> Maintenance Coordinator to
validate the information provided with the aircraft flight log to ensure
that requirements are scheduled and complied with on a timely basis.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

6\. MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.

A. GENERAL.

\(1\) The \<Your Agency\> is authorized to operate under the provisions
of a Minimum Equipment List (MEL), provided the aircraft has aboard an
approved MEL, a letter authorizing the use of the MEL signed by the
\<Your Agency Aviation Title\>, and procedures for its use. Deviations
from the MEL for operations are not permitted, except under a special
flight permit (FAR 21.197).

\(2\) The Minimum Equipment List Management Program is designed to
provide a system to track the status of MEL discrepancies on which
repair is being deferred. The Supervisor of Maintenance is responsible
for the management of this program and each line maintenance supervisor
will assure compliance at the maintenance level.

\(3\) The MEL authorization is not intended to defer correction of a
discrepancy merely for convenience. However, it does provide for
continued operation when certain systems/equipment are inoperative and
specific requirements and procedures are met and accomplished, the
aircraft airworthiness is not affected by the discrepancy, and the
correction of the discrepancy is scheduled and corrected within the
allowable time interval established in the MEL.

B. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

\(1\) The following is provided as a guide to the usage of the MEL to
enhance compliance.

\(a\) The pilot in command (PIC) of the aircraft is directly responsible
and has the final authority for the operation of the aircraft. (FAR
91.3)

\(b\) Only appropriately certificated and rated maintenance personnel or
repair stations, as authorized by FAR 43.7 or this manual, may correct
discrepancies, and approve an aircraft, airframe, engine, propeller, or
appliance for return to service. (FAR 43.7(a) through (3))

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(c\) The MEL does not include obviously required items such as control
surfaces, engines, etc., or items which do not affect the airworthiness
of the aircraft such as passenger convenience items. However, it is
important for maintenance and operations personnel to be alert that all
items which are related to the airworthiness requirements under which
the aircraft is type certificated and which are essential for safe
operations under all operating conditions of the aircraft and not
included on the MEL are required to be operative.

\(d\) The Minimum Equipment List shall not be used for operational or
maintenance convenience. All discrepancies which are deferred must be
categorized in accordance with the time limits shown in sub-paragraph F.
of this section.

C. FLIGHT CREW REPORTING PROCEDURES.

The Pilot in Command will contact the Chief Pilot or Supervisor of
Maintenance, \<Your Agency\>, as soon as possible after the discovery of
an MEL discrepancy, with the following information:

\(1\) Aircraft \"N\" Number.

\(2\) Pilot\'s name.

\(3\) Description of discrepancy.

\(4\) Station location, date, and local time discrepancy was noted.

\(5\) Aircraft total hours or landings, if required by an \"A\" category
repair interval.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

D. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

\(1\) Upon receipt of notification from the pilot, the Maintenance
Supervisor will cause the following information to be entered into the
aircraft flight log book:

\(a\) Pilot\'s name.

\(b\) Description of discrepancy.

\(c\) MEL relief by ATA code and item number.

\(d\) Station location, date, and local time when discrepancy was noted.

\(e\) Category and authorized repair interval as shown in sub-paragraph
F.

\(f\) Aircraft total hours or landings, if required by an \"A\" category
repair interval.

\(g\) Name of person filing report.

\(h\) Supply document number, if available. \[See D.(6)(b)\]

\(i\) Estimated delivery date of part, if known.

\(2\) The Maintenance Supervisor will initiate action for procurement of
parts and maintenance personnel, to meet the aircraft schedule
requirements.

\(3\) \<Your Agency\> maintenance control will track each MEL as a
deferred discrepancy and assign a unique number to it.

\(a\) The discrepancy may be transcribed from the Aircraft Log Book to
the Deferred Discrepancy List. This discrepancy number will be entered
in the Aircraft Log Book adjacent to the MEL entry.

\(b\) If parts have not been ordered at the time of the initial deferred
discrepancy entry, the supply document number and estimated delivery
date will be entered into the discrepancy list as soon as the
information becomes available.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(4\) The Supervisor of Maintenance, \<Your Agency\>, is responsible for
ensuring that a review of deferred items is performed to ensure that
parts are on order and a backorder exists with a delivery date.

\(5\) The deferred discrepancy list will be updated with the corrective
action at the time of the final repair.

\(6\) One of two procedures must be followed when an aircraft arrives at
an \<Your Agency\> maintenance facility with an MEL item recorded in the
aircraft log book.

\(a\) The item will be repaired and the MEL cleared in the aircraft log
book.

\(b\) If the item cannot be cleared due to lack of tooling or part, the
MEL item may be transferred to the Deferred Discrepancy List (DDL)
provided an MEL control number is obtained. Maintenance personnel will
enter the category and authorized repair interval, time limit for
corrective action, supply document number (if required), date of part
availability and signature in the Aircraft Log Book.

of equipment, etc., from the datum line. The arms length of distance is
always given or measured in inches.

\(11\) [Datum]{.underline} is a reference point or line from which
distance measurements to objects are taken or began; it could be real or
imaginary. A Datum may also be defined as a location on a vertical plane
from which all pertinent horizontal measurements are made or indicated
when the aircraft is in level flight attitude.

\(12\) [Moment]{.underline} is the product of a weight multiplied by its
arm.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(13\) [Center of Gravity (CG)]{.underline} of an aircraft is the
pivotal point about which the nose-heavy and tail-heavy moments are
equal in magnitude. It is the point about which the weight of an
aircraft or any other object is concentrated.

\(14\) [Center of Gravity Range]{.underline} is the distance between the
most forward and most rearward CG indicated in the pertinent aircraft
specifications. these limits are determined, at the time of the design
and manufacture of the aircraft, as the extreme loaded CG positions
obtainable within the requirements of the applicable FAR\'s controlling
the design of the aircraft.

\(15\) [Tare Weight]{.underline} is the weight of any object that must
be added/subtracted from the weight of the item being weighed.

E. WEIGHING PROCEDURES.

Weighing procedures will vary with the aircraft and the type of weighing
equipment employed. The weighing procedure contained in the
manufacturer\'s manual should be followed for each particular aircraft.
Accepted general procedures when weighing an aircraft are:

\(1\) Remove excessive dirt, grease, moisture, etc., from the aircraft
before weighing.

\(2\) De-fuel and sump aircraft fuel system. The amount of fuel
remaining in the tanks and fuel system is termed **\"unusable fuel\"**
and is included in the aircraft empty weight.

\(3\) Engine oil tanks are to be full, unless otherwise noted in
maintenance manual and included in the aircraft empty weight.

\(4\) Have all items of equipment included in the certified empty weight
installed in the aircraft when weighing. These items of equipment are a
part of the current weight and balance report (Equipment List).

\(5\) Weigh the aircraft inside a closed building to prevent error in
scale reading due to wind.

III\. CONTINUOUS AIRWORTHINESS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (CAMP)

\(6\) A pre-weighing checklist will be used and attached to the aircraft
weighing form.

\(7\) Properly calibrate, zero and use the scales in accordance with the
scales manufacturer\'s instructions. Each set of scales should have been
calibrated, either by the manufacturer or by a department of civil
weights and measures within 1 (one) year prior to weighing any aircraft.

\(8\) To determine the CG, place the aircraft in a level flight
attitude.

\(9\) Do not set brakes while taking scale readings.

\(10\) Note tare weight when aircraft is removed from the scales.

F. WEIGHT AND BALANCE RECORDS.

The weight and balance system includes methods which will maintain a
complete, current, and continuous record of the weight and center of
gravity of each aircraft. Such records will reflect all alterations and
changes affecting either the weight or balance of the aircraft, and will
include a complete and current equipment list.

G. DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT AND BALANCE CHANGE

Copies of the weight and balance change will be distributed as follows:

\(1\) One copy (original) placed in the Airplane Flight Manual or Weight
and Balance Manual, aboard the aircraft.

\(2\) One copy to the \<Your Agency\> Maintenance Coordinator for
retention in the master weight and balance file for that aircraft.

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

1\. GENERAL.

A. GENERAL.

This section establishes control of inspection and overhaul frequencies
and prescribes the procedures to be used in establishing basic intervals
of maintenance operations, functional checks, inspection, overhaul,
etc., of \<Your Agency\> aircraft, engines, and associated equipment.

B. ESTABLISHING INSPECTION, OVERHAUL TIMES, ETC., FOR NEW AIRCRAFT OR
EQUIPMENT.

When aircraft or equipment new to the system is introduced into the
\<Your Agency\>, the following shall apply:

\(1\) Establishment of inspection frequencies, overhaul intervals, etc.,
will be based on a review of applicable maintenance information and the
manufacturer\'s maintenance requirements. Consideration will be given to
the intended mode of aircraft operation.

\(2\) Where only the manufacturer\'s recommendation exists, it will be
accepted and adjusted to compensate for the intended aircraft flight
profile.

\(3\) When no recommendations exist, and equipment is not listed in
operations specifications, the following will apply:

\(a\) Military technical orders will be reviewed to determine time
intervals when the item is of military origin.

\(b\) Time intervals of \<Your Agency\> aircraft/equipment having
similar characteristics or use will be reviewed.

\(c\) The intended operation and environmental conditions to which the
aircraft/ equipment will be subjected shall be evaluated against (a) and
(b) above.

\(d\) If time intervals are required for one-of-a-kind or unique
equipment and there is no reference to use as a guide, intervals will be
established on the basis of equating (b) to the applicable portion of
(c).

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

C. INSPECTION/OVERHAUL ADJUSTMENTS.

Adjustments in time will be based on an analytical review of the
maintenance program inspection findings and component removal data. Due
to the small fleet size, the element of judgement and experience may, in
some cases, be required to determine if an inspection/overhaul frequency
should be increased or decreased.

\(1\) Airframe

Maintenance inspection data pertaining to the aircraft/equipment under
consideration will be under continual observation to determine the
significance, frequency, and quantity of component removals and
discrepancies.

\(2\) Engines/Propellers/Associated Components/Accessories/Appliances

\(a\) Data accumulated through the maintenance inspection program and
removal data will be evaluated, taking into consideration the frequency
of malfunctions or failures as related to the quantity of component
removals, component operating time, and the total number of significant
discrepancies. Opinions obtained from all maintenance activities will be
considered prior to making a final determination but will not be
justification for change(s) without substantiating documentation.

\(3\) Documentation

All adjustments to routine inspections, major aircraft inspections,
aircraft components, engine overhaul times, hot section inspections, and
propeller overhaul times will be documented and issued as revisions or
supplements to appropriate maintenance program documents.

\(4\) Increments

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

2\. AGE CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT PARTS, SUPPLIES, AND EQUIPMENT.

A. GENERAL.

This chapter prescribes time limits for storage, issue, and shipment of
specific items and categories of aircraft parts, supplies, and equipment
owned and managed by the \<Your Agency\> and prescribes the action to be
taken at the end of such time limits.

B. RESPONSIBILITIES.

The \<Your Agency\> Supervisor of Maintenance is responsible to ensure
that qualified personnel (equal to those for the Aviation Supply Clerk)
are assigned to:

\(1\) Establish and maintain identification, condition, and status of
aircraft parts, supplies, and equipment;

\(2\) Make systematic inspection of aircraft parts, supplies, and
equipment being received, shipped, and in storage to determine if the
age control period has expired or if obvious or suspected damage or
deterioration has occurred which may render parts and equipment unfit
for use;

\(3\) Establish age control time limits for other than \<Your Agency\>
owned and managed aircraft parts and equipment that meet the age control
criteria set forth by the original manufacturer.

\(4\) Ensure that appropriate inspection, maintenance, or disposal
action is accomplished on parts and equipment requiring such action.

C. DEFINITIONS.

\(1\) \"Age Control\" is the designation of a specific maximum period of
age after cure date or assembly date, based on proper preservation and
method of packaging, that will assure parts or equipment will not become
unserviceable due to deterioration prior to issue for use.

\(2\) \"Cure Date\" is the date that an uncured compound is cross linked
to change the physical properties and produce an elastomeric or rubber
like material.

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

\(3\) \"Assembly Date\" is the date applicable parts are installed in an
appliance, accessory, or higher assembly.

\(4\) \"Functional Test\" is a test using equipment and procedures
specified in the appropriate overhaul, repair, or inspection manuals to
determine serviceability.

D. CRITERIA.

\(1\) Experience shows that certain items deteriorate while in storage.
Such items require inspection, functional test, or other maintenance
action prior to issue or shipment if the specified age control period
has elapsed since manufacture, last inspection, or overhaul. Age control
periods are considered maximum safe time limits. Where assemblies
contain items subject to age control, the age control period of such
separate items will normally apply to the complete assembly. When an
assembly is subject to age control, subassemblies will be subject to the
same control.

\(2\) Criteria for applying age control to aircraft parts and equipment.

\(a\) Assemblies or components which have a direct affect on safety of
flight and/or life sustaining equipment will be subject to age controls
if factual data indicates that premature failure may occur as a result
of deterioration while in storage.

\(b\) For new parts or equipment entering the inventory, experience
gained on like parts or equipment will be used to establish age control
limits. If no factual shelf life deterioration date is available, such
items shall not be subjected to age control until experience dictates.
Other items, which factual data indicates serviceability has
deteriorated due to shelf life, will be considered for age control.

\(c\) Age controls will not be applied to items containing silicone,
neoprene, or teflon merely because of the presence of these materials in
the part or assembly.

\(d\) Supplements to this manual will be issued as necessary to provide
current age control instructions.

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

E. PERIOD INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TEST.

\(1\) Certain parts or equipment require specific action be taken while
materials are in storage or prior to issue to ensure that the designated
age limit has not elapsed and the item is serviceable. If an item is not
specifically identified it is \"on condition\" and must be visually
inspected prior to installation and a complete functional and
operational test performed after installation to determine
serviceability. The part, supplies, or equipment manufacturer\'s age
limits will be followed when available. As an alternate, the original
equipment manufacturer\'s (Boeing, Cessna, etc.) recommendations may be
used.

\(2\) Manufacturer\'s often permit extensions of age limits if specific
tests or other conditions are met. The following procedures may be used
to return items to stock when age limits have been reached:

\(a\) If the age limit of an item indicates that the item requires a
functional test and the required maintenance action be performed prior
to use

those items determined to be serviceable as a result of functional test
(and maintenance action as necessary) shall have the shelf life
expiration date extended for 1 year from the date of such test. Re-test
and further extension of shelf life limits, if justified, shall be
accomplished each succeeding year. The functional test shall consist of
appropriate procedures necessary to determine operational serviceability
of the part or equipment. This test may be performed at any maintenance
base where adequate facilities are available or by local certificated
contractor if more expedient or economical than returning the item to
the \<Your Agency\> Home Base. When such facilities are not available,
E&R items shall be processed locally. All such items returned to the
\<Your Agency\> Home Base shall have the original serviceable parts tag
and/or certification attached and appropriate repairable part tag
bearing the note: \"Functional Test Due.\"

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

\(b\) If the age limit of an item indicates that the item requires
maintenance action prior to issue if the designated limit has elapsed
the maintenance action will include replacement of all gaskets,
diaphragms, seals, and other components containing natural or synthetic
rubber and, when necessary, bearings, lubricants, and any other
components and/or reconditioning required to place the item in a
serviceable condition. After such reconditioning, the item is eligible
for issuance and use for the full term of the designated age limit.

**NOTE**: Where facilities are not equipped to provide this maintenance,
E&R items shall be returned to the \<Your Agency\> Home Base; non-E&R
items shall be processed locally. All such items shall have the original
serviceable parts tag and/or certification attached and appropriate
repairable part tag bearing the note: \"Has exceeded storage time;
maintenance action required.\"

\(c\) If the age limit of an item indicates that the item is considered
unsuitable for its intended use at the expiration of the designated
period, it shall be removed from stock for processing as
administratively condemned parts and/or equipment.

F. INSPECTION AND DISPOSITION OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER.

\(1\) Personnel assigned responsibility for surveillance of parts and
equipment in storage will screen stocks of age-controlled synthetic
rubber parts once annually or more frequently if necessary to disclose
parts suspected to be deteriorated or which will be over-age prior to
next inspection.

\(2\) Expendable items determined to be unserviceable by designated
quality control personnel shall not be issued for use on aircraft or
aircraft accessories. Fuel cells (E&R items) determined to be
unserviceable but reparable in accordance with applicable maintenance or
repair instructions may be repaired by any facility having such
capability. Whenever inspection of any expired-age fuel cell reveals no
evidence of un-serviceability, the re-inspection date may be extended
for 1 year, after which the fuel cell may be re-inspected and time
extended for 1 more year, if still serviceable. Total allowable
extension is 2 years. The age limit for bulk and precut hose and hose
assemblies may be extended by being visually inspected. Total allowable
extension is 1 year.

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

\(3\) An accessory shall not be accepted into the \<Your Agency\> supply
system without evidence of cure date; date of manufacture, overhaul, or
test; the item shall have at least 50% of its age control limit
remaining when accepted.

G. AGE CONTROL OF AVIONIC PARTS AND EQUIPMENT.

\(1\) Shelf time limits for avionic equipment while in storage, are
based on the method of preservation which defines the maintenance action
necessary when storage time limits have expired. Equipment accepted by
the \<Your Agency\> shall have a shelf life indicated on the part
serviceable tag and be based on the equipment and preservation methods
used by the repair/shipping facility.

\(2\) Preservation methods and maintenance action prescribed herein are
established to prevent deterioration of avionic equipment while in
storage and are considered to be safe maximum limits for all geographic
areas and storage conditions.

\(3\) All avionic items listed shall receive maintenance action as
prescribed upon expiration of the applicable storage time limit.

H. PREFERRED PACKAGING AND/OR PRESERVATIONS.

The method of packaging and/or preservation for each item, along with
the shelf life expiration date, must be identified on the serviceable
part tag. A brief description of preferred methods of preservation and
identification is given below. Military specification MIL-P-116 fully
describes the methods and will be used as reference.

\(1\) Method I - Preservative coating (with grease-proof wrap as
required).

\(2\) Method IA - Water/vapor proof enclosure (with preservative as
required).

\(3\) Method IB - Strippable compound coating (hot dip).

\(4\) Method IC - Waterproof barrier (with preservative as required).

\(5\) Method II - Water/vapor proof barrier with desiccant (with contact
preservative when required).

\(6\) Method III - Packaged for mechanical and physical protection only.

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

I. MAINTENANCE ACTION AND INSPECTIONS.

\(1\) Avionic equipment requires a specific maintenance action to be
taken upon expiration of the storage time limit. (Refer to the
manufacturer\'s manuals for these limits and appropriate action for the
item involved) Some of the actions to be taken are:

\(a\) A visual inspection to determine condition. Whenever there is
evidence that the item is unserviceable, appropriate maintenance action
shall be taken to restore its serviceability.

\(b\) An operational check which shall consist of performing all
necessary test procedures, utilizing a suitable test stand or mockup, to
determine that the item is operating properly. Items found to not be
operating properly shall receive additional maintenance action as
necessary to restore their serviceability.

\(c\) An inspection, including any necessary disassembly, to determine
the operational reliability of the item. Maintenance performed during
this inspection shall include removal of any rust or corrosion detected;
relubrication of gear trains; replacement or repacking of bearings;
reforming or replacement of electrolytic capacitors; replacement of
deteriorated seals, gaskets, or rubber goods; and the replenishment of
liquid levels as necessary to assure the item\'s reliability. The item
shall be given a complete operational check utilizing a suitable test
stand or mockup upon completion of any required maintenance and prior to
returning to storage.

\(2\) New re-inspection dates will be entered on the part serviceable
tag upon completion of the maintenance action. Such dates will be
computed by adding the appropriate storage period time interval to the
date upon which the prescribed action was accomplished.

\(3\) All maintenance actions and inspections shown may be performed at
any maintenance activity when adequate facilities are available. Items
which, because of expired storage item, require maintenance action which
exceeds the capability of a maintenance facility will be appropriately
identified and returned to the \<Your Agency\> Home Base for further
action.

V. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TIME LIMITS

J. ISSUING LIMITATIONS.

The personnel assigned responsibility for surveillance of avionic parts
and equipment in storage will ensure that all serviceable property is
stored and issued in a manner which will provide for the issuance of
oldest items first.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

1\. FUELING PROCEDURES.

A. GENERAL.

The following standard practices and procedures shall be used in
conjunction with the instructions contained in the aircraft maintenance
manual for each specific type aircraft to be serviced.

\(1\) When aircraft are located and serviced at the \<Your Agency\>
maintenance facility, an A&P certificated mechanic will be assigned to
the servicing operation. For servicing away from the \<Your Agency\>
maintenance facility and when an A&P certificated mechanic is not
available, the pilot in command will have responsibility for servicing
operations.

B. POSITIONING OF AIRCRAFT FUEL SERVICING VEHICLES.

\(1\) Position the servicing vehicle so that a path of egress from the
aircraft is maintained. The fuel servicing vehicles shall not be
positioned under the wing of the aircraft during over wing fueling. Fuel
servicing vehicles shall not be positioned within a 10-foot radius of
aircraft fuel system vent openings. Minimum distance between aircraft
being serviced and other aircraft shall be as follow: For large aircraft
such as Sabreliners, B727, etc., 20 feet; for small aircraft such as
Cessna 310, Cessna 210, Cessna 185, Cessna Citation, etc., 10 feet.

\(2\) When approaching an aircraft to be fueled, the tank truck driver
should approach the aircraft parallel to the wings, unless single point
locations on the aircraft require a different approach.

NOTE: The servicing vehicle shall not be driven or parked under any
portion of the aircraft.

\(3\) Position mobile fueling equipment so it can either be rapidly
driven or towed away from the aircraft in the event of an emergency. Do
not park ramp equipment where it will obstruct the movement of the fuel
truck.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

C. BONDING.

\(1\) Prior to making any fueling connection to the aircraft, the
fueling equipment shall be bonded to the aircraft by use of a cable,
thus providing a conductive path to equalize electrical potential
between the fueling equipment and aircraft. The bond shall be maintained
until fueling connections have been removed.

\(2\) In addition to the above, when fueling over wing, the nozzle shall
be bonded to a metallic component of the aircraft that is metallically
connected to the tank filler port. The bond connection shall be made
before the filler cap is removed. If there is no plug receptacle or
means for attaching a clip, the operator shall touch the filler cap with
the nozzle spout before removing the cap so as to equalize the
electrical potential between the nozzle and the filler port. The spout
shall be kept in contact with the filler neck until the fueling is
completed.

\(3\) Bonding and fueling connections shall be disconnected in the
reverse order of connection.

D. FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

\(1\) Position two dry chemical or CO2 fire extinguishes so they will be
available in case of a fuel spill, or fire.

\(2\) Each aircraft fuel servicing vehicle shall have at least two fire
extinguishes, each having a rating of 20B, one mounted on each side of
the vehicle.

E. OPERATION OF APU WHILE FUELING AIRCRAFT.

\(1\) The APU can be operated during fueling of the B727 if the
following precautions are taken.

\(2\) A minimum of one crewmember or properly trained maintenance
personnel must be in the cockpit.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

NOTE: Except for aircraft equipped with an external APU control panel
with APU shutdown controls.

\(3\) The APU shall be shut down immediately and fueling discontinued in
the event of fuel spill, APU malfunction, and/or APU fire.

F. PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF SPILLS.

\(1\) Fuel servicing equipment will be maintained in safe operating
condition. Leaking or malfunctioning equipment shall be removed from
service.

\(a\) Fuel nozzles shall not be dragged along the ground.

\(b\) Pouring or gravity flow shall not be permitted from a container
with a capacity of more than five gallons.

\(c\) When a spill is observed, the fuel servicing shall be stopped
immediately by release of the dead man controls. In the event that a
spill continues, the equipment emergency fuel shutoff shall be actuated.
The supervisor shall be notified at once and the operation shall not be
continued until the spill has been cleared and it is determined to be
safe.

\(d\) The aircraft fire crew shall be notified if a spill is over 10
feet in any dimension or over 50 square feet in area, continues to flow,
or is otherwise a hazard to persons or property. This spill shall be
investigated to determine the cause, whether emergency procedures were
properly carried out, and what corrective measures are required.

G. EMERGENCY FUEL SHUTOFF.

\(1\) Access to emergency fuel shutoff control shall be kept clear at
all times.

\(2\) Emergency fuel shutoff devices shall be operationally check at
least every 3 months.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

H. OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES AND HEATERS.

\(1\) Fuel servicing shall not be done on an aircraft while the aircraft
engines are operating.

Exception: In an emergency resulting from the failure of an onboard
auxiliary power unit on a jet aircraft and in the absence of a suitable
ground support equipment, a jet engine mounted at the rear of the
aircraft or on the wing on the side opposite from the fueling point may
be operated during fueling to provide power.

\(2\) Combustion heaters on aircraft (e.g., wing and tail surface
heaters, integral cabin heaters) shall not be operated during fueling
operations.

I. EQUIPMENT AROUND AIRCRAFT.

\(1\) Internal combustion engine powered equipment, other than those
performing aircraft servicing functions, shall not be permitted within
50 feet of aircraft during fuel servicing operations.

\(2\) Equipment performing aircraft servicing functions shall not be
positioned within a 10-foot radius of aircraft fuel system vent
openings.

\(3\) During over wing aircraft fuel servicing where aircraft fuel
system vents are located on the upper wing surface, equipment shall not
be positioned under the trailing edge of the wing.

J. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT USED ON AIRCRAFT SERVICING RAMPS.

\(1\) Battery chargers shall not be connected, operated, or disconnected
while fuel servicing is being done on the aircraft.

\(2\) Aircraft ground-power generators or other electrical ground-power
supplies shall not be connected or disconnected while fuel servicing is
being done on the aircraft.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

\(3\) Electric tools or similar tools likely to produce sparks or arcs
shall not be used while fuel servicing is done on the aircraft.

\(a\) Photographic equipment shall not be used within 10 feet of fueling
equipment or of the fill or vent points of aircraft fuel systems.

\(b\) Battery-powered vehicle equipment shall not be operated within 10
feet of fueling equipment or spills.

\(c\) Communication equipment used during aircraft fuel servicing
operations within 10 feet of fueling equipment or of the fill or vent
points of aircraft fuel systems shall be intrinsically safe (see ANSI/UL
913-1988).

K. OPEN FLAMES ON AIRCRAFT FUEL SERVICING RAMPS.

\(1\) Open flames on aircraft fuel servicing ramps or aprons within 50
feet of any aircraft fuel servicing operation or fueling equipment shall
be prohibited.

\(2\) The category of open flames and lighted open-flame devices shall
include, but not be limited to, the following:

\(a\) Lighted cigarettes, cigars, pipes.

\(b\) Exposed flame heaters, liquid, solid or gaseous devices, including
portable and wheeled gasoline or kerosene heaters.

\(c\) Heat-producing, welding or cutting devices and blowtorches.

\(3\) Personnel shall not carry lighters or matches on their person
while engaged in fuel servicing operations.

\(4\) Lighters or matches are prohibited on or in fueling equipment.

L. LIGHTNING PRECAUTIONS.

Fuel servicing operations shall be suspended when there are lightning
flashes in the immediate vicinity of the airport.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

M. DEADMAN CONTROL MONITORING.

\(1\) The fueling operator shall monitor the panel of the fueling
equipment and the aircraft control panel during pressure fueling or
shall monitor the fill port during over wing fueling.

\(2\) Fuel flow shall be controlled by use of a dead man control device.

N. FUELING.

\(1\) Prior to starting fueling operations, a check will be made to
ensure that the fuel in the tanker is the correct grade for the
aircraft. Also verify that adequate procedures have been used to prevent
water in the tanker from being serviced into the aircraft fuel system.

\(a\) Contamination Prevention

Contamination normally occurs when the aircraft is serviced with the
wrong fuel. The following procedures will help eliminate this hazard.
Always ascertain that the fuel delivered is the type recommended for the
aircraft. If uncertain as to the type of fuel, take a sample of fuel
from the refueling truck or station before refueling is started and
compare with colors listed below. After refueling is complete, take
another sample from the refueling source. Repeat the color check. Use a
transparent plastic container that is impervious to fuel.

**CAUTION: DO NOT USE GLASS**

\(b\) Some aviation fuels can be identified by color. The following
color list will be of value in monitoring fuel delivery.

[(1)]{.underline} 100LL-blue

[(2)]{.underline} Jet fuels-wide range from water-white to amber.

NOTE: The color test is nullified whenever any two of the above are
mixed, since the resultant mixture could be water-clear.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

\(c\) Reduce the rate of fuel flow as fuel nears the top of the tank to
prevent fuel spill.

\(2\) When single point fueling, check fuel vents for obstructions, and
that air is escaping when fuel is being pumped.

O. FUEL SPILLS.

The following actions are appropriate in the event of a fuel spill,
although each spill will have to be treated individually because of such
variables as: size of the spill, type of flammable or combustible liquid
involved, wind and weather conditions, equipment arrangement, aircraft
occupancy, emergency equipment, and personnel available. Refer to
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 407 Standard for Aircraft
Fuel Servicing for a thorough discussion of fuel spills.

\(1\) Terminate the fueling operation; stop the flow of fuel if
possible.

\(2\) Halt any operations in progress until a determination is made they
may be continued safely.

\(3\) Evaluate the aircraft if the spill is such as to pose a fire
threat.

\(4\) Mobile fueling equipment and other mobile equipment should be
withdrawn or left as is until the fuel spill is removed or made safe.

\(5\) Notify supervisory personnel and the airport fire crew if the
spill presents a fire hazard.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

2\. DEFUELING PROCEDURES

A. GENERAL.

The following practices and procedures shall be used in conjunction with
the instructions set out in the maintenance manual for each specific
type aircraft to be serviced. It will be the responsibility of the
person in charge to see the following safety practices are complied
with.

B. POSITIONING DEFUEL TRUCK.

\(1\) When positioning an aircraft to be de-fueled, due consideration
should be given to the wind to prevent fuel vapor from being carried
downwind toward a course of ignition. Aircraft being de-fueled shall be
positioned at least 25 feet from other aircraft and buildings.

\(2\) The tank truck driver will approach the aircraft parallel to the
wings, unless single point locations on the aircraft require a different
approach.

NOTE: Unless absolutely necessary, because of the type of aircraft
involved, the servicing vehicle shall not be driven or parked under any
portion of the aircraft.

\(3\) Position the de-fuel truck so it can either be driven or towed
away from the aircraft in the event of an emergency. Do not park ramp
equipment where it will obstruct the movement of the tank truck.

C. BONDING.

\(1\) Always make the correct bonding connections before de-fueling.

\(2\) Connect a bonding cable from the fuel tanker to the aircraft. Do
not attach cable to propellers or radio antenna.

\(3\) Before removing any aircraft fuel tank filler cap, connect the
bonding cable attached to the fuel hose nozzle to a metallic component
of the aircraft.

\(4\) All containers used in de-fueling of aircraft will be grounded.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

D. FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

Portable fire extinguishes (dry chemical or CO2) shall be available on
the ramp or apron in case of a fuel spill or fire to provide an
immediate means of fire protection. The prominent and strategic
positioning of fire extinguishes is essential so they may be of maximum
value in the event of an emergency. In some situations it may be
desirable to position an extinguisher near an aircraft. In this
situation, locate the extinguisher upwind within 50 feet of the
aircraft.

E. OPERATION OF APU WHILE DEFUELING AIRCRAFT.

The APU can be operated during single point de-fueling of the B727 to
transfer fuel, if the following restrictions are taken.

\(1\) The APU shall not be operated if the wind velocity is less than 5
knots. This is to reduce any chance of vapor accumulation in the event
of a fuel spill.

\(2\) One-crewmember or maintenance personnel must be in the cockpit.

NOTE: Except when the aircraft is equipped with an external APU control
panel with APU shutdown controls.

\(3\) The APU shall be immediately shut down and de-fueling discontinued
in the event of fuel spill, APU malfunction, and/or APU fire.

F. USE OF GROUND UNITS.

\(1\) Position ground power units upwind from the de-fueling operation
as far distant as possible.

\(2\) Do not obstruct the path of the de-fuel truck.

G. DEFUELING.

\(1\) Prior to starting de-fueling operations, a check will be made to
ensure that the fuel in the aircraft is the same grade as in the de-fuel
truck.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

\(2\) Make certain storage tank, compartment, receptacle, etc., are
clean and of sufficient capacity to hold the amount of fuel to be
drained.

\(a\) Reduce rate of de-fueling as fuel nears top of storage container,
to prevent overflow and subsequent hazardous fuel spillage.

\(b\) A second man will be required at the fuel truck to monitor tank
level during de-fueling to prevent spillage.

\(3\) When single point de-fueling, check fuel vents for obstructions.

H. FUEL SPILLS.

The following actions are appropriate in the event of a fuel spill,
although each spill will have to be treated individually because of such
variables as: size of the spill, the flammable or combustible liquid
involved, wind and weather conditions, equipment arrangement, aircraft
occupancy, emergency equipment, and personnel available. Refer to
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 407 Standard for Aircraft
Fuel Servicing for a thorough discussion of fuel spills.

\(1\) Terminate the fueling operation; stop the flow of fuel if
possible.

\(2\) Halt any operations in progress until a determination is made they
may be continued safely.

\(3\) Evaluate the aircraft if the spill is such as to pose a fire
threat.

\(4\) Mobile fueling equipment and other mobile equipment should be
withdrawn or left as is until the fuel spill is removed or made safe.

\(5\) Notify supervisory personnel and the airport fire crew if the
spill presents a fire hazard.

3\. FUEL TANK PURGING.

A. GENERAL.

The fuel tank purging procedures given in the various maintenance
manuals all concur on several items:

\(a\) Safety precautions must not be compromised.

\(b\) During fuel tank purging, fuel vapor can be explosive.

\(c\) The use of warm air or cooling air is strictly for the comfort of
personnel working inside the fuel tank, NOT a function of the purging
operation.

B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

There are several basic steps that will be taken in preparation for
opening a fuel tank. Always refer to the specific aircraft maintenance
manual for detail instructions.

\(a\) Adequately ground the airplane.

\(b\) No electrical power is allowed on the airplane when a fuel tank is
open. Disconnect and tag the aircraft\'s battery. Do not restore power
until the fuel tank is closed.

\(c\) Rope off the aircraft and post signs \"DANGER - OPEN FUEL TANKS\"
in a clear and visible area. More than one sign should be used. Place
signs in pathways where non-maintenance personnel are likely to approach
the area.

\(d\) Purge tank using a venturi and compressed air. Position air
compressor at least 100 feet from open fuel tank unless the air
compressor is explosion proof.

**[WARNING:]{.underline} FUEL VAPOR IN TANKS MAY BE TOO RICH TO IGNITE
WHEN TANKS ARE INITIALLY OPENED. HOWEVER, THE VAPOR CONCENTRATION WILL
PASS THROUGH AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE LEVEL DURING TANK VENTILATION. VAPOR
MIXTURES TOO LEAN TO IGNITE, IF ALLOWED TO ACCUMULATE IN AN UNVENTILATED
SPACE CAN FORM AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE.**

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

4\. AIRCRAFT FUEL CONTAMINATION CONTROL

A. GENERAL.

Aircraft fuel, especially turbine fuel, is susceptible to water
contamination. Under certain conditions any water remaining in the tanks
can freeze and clog the fuel screen(s). The presence of water also
supports bacterial growth which can clog fuel system components and
cause corrosion. The following procedures are provided to minimize
problems in this area. Depending on geographic location some activities
will have more water contamination problems and require additional
precautions to minimize contamination from water.

B. WHEN TO TEST FOR WATER - WHAT METHOD TO USE.

Aircraft fuel sumps are to be drained during Daily and Preflight
Inspections.

\(1\) The fuel sample drain should total at least one quart and must be
inspected for contaminants.

NOTE: BECAUSE WATER SETTLES MORE SLOWLY THROUGH TURBINE FUEL THAN
THROUGH GASOLINE, AFTER REFUELING IT IS DESIRABLE TO ALLOW TIME FOR ANY
FREE WATER WHICH MAY BE PRESENT TO SETTLE TO THE SUMP(S) BEFORE TAKING
FUEL SAMPLE. A 15-MINUTE WAIT IS ADEQUATE, BUT A LONGER SETTLING PERIOD
IS BETTER WHEN TIME PERMITS. THE DRAINED FUEL SAMPLE SHALL NOT BE
RETURNED TO THE FUEL TANKS.

\(2\) Either of the two visual inspection check methods described in
this chapter may be used after refueling. The Hydrokit check described
in this text shall be performed on a fuel sample from the refueling hose
when it is not practical to wait 15 minutes after refueling for water to
settle. Also, the Hydrokit should be used (1) for \"go, no-go\" test if
there is a question about the condition of the fuel after a visual check
has been made; and (2) whenever an aircraft is away from its home base
and being fueled by a fixed base operator whose fuel storage practices
are not known, or when there is any question or doubt about the
contamination of fuel being serviced.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

C. VISUAL CHECK FOR CONTAMINATION.

Visually examine the sample in a clean container, preferably in
sunlight. Look for visible water (cloudy, droplets, emulsion, or
separate layer). Also, swirl the fuel to create a large vortex in the
center. If any free water or other foreign matter is present, it will
tend to collect at the center of the vortex and at the bottom of the
container. If water is detected, drain sufficient fuel from the tank
sumps until visual check reveals no water contamination.

\(1\) Visual check, using red dye

This dye check can be used only with fuel which does [not]{.underline}
contain the Phillips

Additive PFA-55MB.

\(a\) This check is performed the same as the visual check, except that
several drops of dye coloring are added to the drained fuel sample.

NOTE: Use regular liquid household red food dye that is used to color
cake icing, (McCormick, or equivalent).

\(b\) Swirl the fuel sample to form a vortex and examine it for foreign
matter. When the swirling stops, add several drops of dye; the drops
will form into balls and fall to the bottom if no water is present. If
water is present, the dye will dissolve and color the fuel sample bright
red.

\(c\) If water is found, drain sufficient fuel from the tank sumps to
eliminate the water and recheck.

\(2\) Hydrokit Check

This is a more precise fuel check, which provides a capability for
testing the fuel contamination in the fueling truck and the aircraft.

[WARNING]{.underline}: THE POWDER USED IN THE HYDROKIT MAY BE FATAL IF
SWALLOWED: THEREFORE, EXTRA CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN IN THE DISPOSAL OF
SAMPLES SO THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF HANDLING AND INGESTING THE
POWDER OF THE POWDER- FUEL MIXTURE INTO THE STOMACH FROM HANDS.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

\(1\) All organizations which are directly responsible for maintaining
turbine-powered aircraft should stock an appropriate supply of the
Hydrokits.

\(2\) The fuel-sampling test should be accomplished before and after
fueling operations to ensure that a representative test is accomplished.

NOTE: Before Hydrokit test is performed, check the condition of the
granular material (desiccant) in the bottom of the container containing
Hydrokit capsules. The desiccant should be blue in color. If color is
violet, pink, or white, or if the material inside the capsule has
changed from grayish-white to pink or purple color, the capsule should
be discarded safely.

\(3\) Checking procedures

\(a\) The fuel sample should be drawn from the aircraft side of the
final filter/separator, from the piping on the fueling vehicle, or from
the fueling nozzle itself.

\(b\) The fuel sample should be drawn about one-half minute after fuel
flow into aircraft starts. If a fuel test is requested before the
fueling is started or after the tanks are serviced, it should be run in
addition to, not as a part of the test as described in (c)(1).

\(c\) Only the containers (jars) supplied with Hydrokit should be used
for taking samples and testing. If dust or dirt is present, the
container should be wiped out with a clean dry cloth.

\(d\) After a container has been used, it may be prepared for reuse.
This should be done as soon as possible after test is completed.

NOTE: The Hydrokit is very sensitive to moisture and can be easily
contaminated. Avoid uncapping the container in rain or with wet hands.

(e) Fill a clean and dry sample container to the graduation mark
    (100cc - approximately three fluid ounces) with fuel.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

\(f\) Empty contents of one capsule into fuel sample. Close container
tightly.

\(g\) Shake the sample approximately 10 seconds. Examine powder for
evidence of color change.

\(1\) Results

\(a\) Color changes

If powder changes color - to purple - or if colored spots appear
anywhere inside the jar [within two-minutes]{.underline}, the sample
\"fails\". Water concentration is 30 ppm or more of free water.

\(b\) No color change

If no color change is observed [within the two-minute]{.underline}
period, the sample \"passes\". the fuel sample is essentially dry,
containing less than 30 ppm of free water.

NOTE: Ignore any color change which occurs after two minutes, and safely
dispose of sample. No effort should be made to determine the amount of
free water by degree of color change. Such a determination is
meaningless and could be misleading.

\(2\) Action to be taken if test fails

\(a\) Cease fueling operation.

\(b\) Advise the appropriate supervisor or lead person.

\(c\) Check filter/separator sump for water accumulation.

(d) Take additional action as indicated by the situation after informing
    the appropriate supervisor. This should normally include repetition
    of test before resuming fueling to check if the procedure during the
    test was at fault.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

\(e\) Report the incident to the immediate supervisor, with all
pertinent details.

D. FLUID APPLICATION

\(1\) Assure that all aircraft doors and windows are closed before and
during fluid applications.

\(2\) Lower wing flaps fully to assure removal of all ice that may have
accumulated in flap well areas during aircraft operations.

\(3\) Do not spray fluid directly into air scoops, engine inlets, or on
hot exhausts. Snow accumulations of one inch or more should be removed
before any fluid application.

\(4\) Apply only enough fluid to remove the ice or snow and leave a
light film of deicing fluid on the aircraft.

\(5\) When an aircraft is hangared to accomplish deicing, all hinges for
the elevator, aileron, rudder and tabs should be hand-sprayed with
undiluted ethylene glycol after all melted ice or snow has drained off
the aircraft.

\(6\) All landing gear components and the lower wing surface in the
landing gear area should be sprayed to remove all accumulated slush.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

E. APPROVED AIRCRAFT DEICING FLUIDS

body fluids during the inspection process they shall immediately wash
with soap and water any skin surfaces contaminated by blood or body
fluids. Use a waterless antiseptic hand cleaner or antiseptic towelettes
in the absence of soap and water until soap and water is available.

\(b\) Wear vinyl or latex gloves and disposable gowns, coveralls, or a
wrap around apron with a chest bib that extends to the knees.

\(c\) Cordon off area of the spill to prevent the accidental spread of
body fluids.

\(d\) Remove any large pieces of glass or other solid material, if
present. Do not pick up material with hands. Use a plastic scoop to
remove this matter. Place solid material in a puncture-resistant
container. The scoop must dis-infected after use and placed in a clean
place or if disposable is placed in a biohazard-labelled bag.

\(e\) Carefully remove the body fluids from the spill surface with
disposable wipes. When the wipe is saturated, replace it with a new one.
Do not wring out fluids. All soiled wipes are to be placed in the
puncture-resistant container.

\(f\) Decontaminate the area with a bleach solution\* or a commercially
prepared, Environmental Protection Agency approved solution specifically
intended for clean up of blood and body fluid spills. This is done by
starting 2 inches outside the spill and moving into the center of the
spill by making a series of overlapping concentric circles with a wipe.
The area is allowed to dry and the process is repeated. The soiled wipes
are placed into the puncture-resistant container.

VII\. AIRCRAFT AND GROUND EQUIPMENT SERVICING

\(g\) Place all puncture resistant containers and material used in the
cleanup in a biohazard-labelled bag until disposal occurs.

5\. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PARTS (GFP)

A. GENERAL.

Transfer of aircraft within the U.S. Government is frequently
accompanied with the transfer of spare parts and component inventories.
These can represent significant investments. Additionally, Government
aircraft utilize the same repair facilities and contractors to conserve
funds and reduce inventory requirements.

Government furnished parts shall be used when available provided they
are properly identified or the \<Your Agency\> Supervisor of Maintenance
has concluded that the parts meet the criteria established in this
Chapter and Chapter/Section III.8.F.

B. DEVIATIONS

The \<Your Agency\> mission requirements may dictate that parts be used
where full documentation of GFP is not readily available or the part
cannot be traced to it\'s original manufacturer. In these cases, the
\<Your Agency\> Supervisor of Maintenance will follow the procedures
established in Chapter/Section VIII.3.D of this manual.

IX\. SECURITY PROGRAMS

1\. MAINTENANCE SECURITY PROGRAMS

A. GENERAL

Security is an essential element of the \<Your Agency\> Maintenance
Program. Government property often becomes the target of sabotage for
numerous reasons. At times government property presents a target of
opportunity for groups attempting to gain visibility for their movement.
Operations and servicing of its aircraft throughout the U.S. and foreign
territories exposes \<Your Agency\> aircraft to environments that have
varying degrees of security. Personnel performing maintenance on the
\<Your Agency\> aircraft shall be aware of and look for any unusual
conditions. If such conditions are found they should be reported
immediately to the \<Your Agency\> Supervisor of Maintenance. Unusual
conditions may be suspicious looking objects, signs of tampering, or
intentionally inflicted damage to areas such as pitot static heads,
primary structures, engine inlet or exhaust area, and damage to windows,
as examples. **(ICAP COMMENT: Law Enforcement agencies may need to add
additional guidelines due to additional requirements in this area.)**

B. \<Your Agency\> HANGAR SECURITY.

Routine security measures are imposed on personnel entering the \<Your
Agency\> Hangar from the main entrance. Maintenance personnel should be
vigilant to unauthorized vehicle or pedestrian traffic and aircraft
movements on the \<Your Agency\> Hangar Ramp. Any unusual movements
should be immediately reported to the \<Your Agency\> Supervisor of
Maintenance.

C. MAINTENANCE ON \<Your Agency\> EQUIPMENT AWAY FROM HOME BASE.

Personnel, including contractors, performing servicing and maintenance
on \<Your Agency\> aircraft away from the \<Your Agency\> Hangar are
expected to provide the same level of security for aircraft and
equipment (see Section A, General, above) as is provided at the \<Your
Agency\> Hangar in \<Location\>.

(This Page Intentionally Left Blank)

IX\. SECURITY PROGRAMS

2\. BOMB THREATS

A. GENERAL

Any employee receiving or learning of a bomb threat or other sabotage
threat to an aircraft, hangar, ramp, ground support equipment, or any
property belonging to the \<Your Agency\> will immediately notify their
supervisor who will advise the Chief, Air Operations Division, giving
complete information as to the threat. The supervisor will then advise
all personnel of the threat and any action directed by the \<Your Agency
Aviation Title\>.

If the threat concerns a specific aircraft or flight, the supervisor,
upon approval by the \<Your Agency Aviation Title\>, will notify the Air
Traffic Control Tower of the threat.

B. POLICY.

\<Your Agency\> maintenance employees, including contractors providing
maintenance support to the \<Your Agency\>, shall cooperate fully with
the FBI (which is responsible for investigating bomb threats), the local
police, and the FAA.

\<Your Agency\> will assist in any way possible in the prosecution of
violators of federal laws, by cooperating with the federal authorities
to the fullest. Contractors, too, are expected to cooperate fully with
the investigation and prosecution of these violators.

C. EMPLOYEE PROCEDURES.

If a \<Your Agency\> employee, or employee of a \<Your Agency\>
maintenance contractor, receives a telephone call regarding a bomb being
aboard or threatened to be placed aboard an aircraft, or in the vicinity
of any \<Your Agency\> aircraft, hangar, ramp, ground support equipment,
or any property belonging to the \<Your Agency\> they will:

\(1\) Signal another person in the office to call the telephone company
to have the call traced.

\(2\) Question the caller, using a number of questions that have been
designed by AOD Security to aid in prolonging any threat call in an
attempt to trace the call, identify the caller, and to determine
valuable response information for us by authorities. (Reference
Chapter/Section IV.2.I, form \<Your Agency\> GMM BTQ)

IX\. SECURITY PROGRAMS

\(3\) Obtain as much information as possible and take exact notes. Be
alert for accents, background noises and any indication that the caller
is a juvenile, intoxicated, mentally disturbed, or unusually familiar
with the operation and schedule of the \<Your Agency Aviation Title\>.

\(4\) Immediately notify their supervisor who will advise the Chief,
AOD, giving complete information as to the threat received and action
taken to this point.

\(5\) Immediately report their actions in a written statement, including
all statements made by the caller verbatim, if possible. This report
should be forwarded to the Chief, \<Your Agency Aviation Title\>,
through proper channels as soon as possible.

Questionnaires should be available for ready use in each office where
calls are received from the public.

Questions should be spaced so as to enable the caller\'s responses to be
written in the appropriate area. Supervisors are responsible for
maintaining the questionnaire in sufficient quantity to satisfy local
needs.

D. BOMB THREAT SEARCH AND INSPECTION.

When a bomb threat search is to be conducted on any aircraft, hangar,
ramp, ground support equipment, or any property belonging to the \<Your
Agency\>, maintenance personnel will assist when requested by the \<Your
Agency\> person in charge. The search will normally be conducted in
accordance with the following procedures:

\(1\) Appropriate measures will be taken to clear the danger area of
personnel. The passengers will be evacuated from the aircraft. All
personnel in the vicinity of the Hangar or equipment being threatened
will be evacuated. If the aircraft is in the \<Your Agency\> Hangar the
passengers and other personnel will be removed from the Hangar. If the
aircraft is airborne the passengers will be deplaned at the direction of
the Pilot-in-Command . If the aircraft is taxiing but not airborne, the
Pilot-in-Command will issue instructions for evacuating the aircraft,
which may involve emergency evacuation and the removal of any onboard
personal items.

\(2\) The local FBI, FAA, and Airport Manager will be notified by the
most expeditious means. When direct contact with these individuals is
not possible, the Pilot-in-Command will advise Air Traffic Control and
ask their assistance.

IX\. SECURITY PROGRAMS

\(3\) The aircraft or ground equipment will be located to a remote area
as directed by the Airport Manager or \<Your Agency\> person in charge.

\(4\) If passengers are involved they may be moved to a search area.

\(5\) Cargo aboard the aircraft may be removed.

\(6\) A complete search of the aircraft threatened will be conducted.
Assistance from experts will be requested to handle and dispose of any
bomb or suspected bomb found.

**[UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY SUSPICIOUS OBJECT OR BOMB BE TOUCHED,
HANDLED, OR DISTURBED IN ANY MANNER BY ANY MAINTENANCE EMPLOYEE,
CONTRACTOR OR OTHERWISE.]{.underline}**

\(7\) If no bomb is found in the luggage, cargo, or any other area and
circumstances are such that a bomb could have been hidden within the
aircraft itself, a maintenance inspection may be performed in accordance
with the Bomb Threat Inspection form (Reference Chapter/Section IV.2.J,
form \<Your Agency\> GMM BTI). The \<Your Agency\> person in charge will
direct maintenance to perform the inspection, if required.

Maintenance personnel will provide support to the bomb threat inspection
team as directed by the \<Your Agency\> person in charge.
