FAULT ISOLATION MANUAL 

**ON A/CALL 

FAULT ISOLATION MANUAL (FIM) INTRODUCTION 

1. General 

A. The function of the fault isolation manual (FIM) is to give aircraft maintenance personnel 

sufficient data to isolate failures and/or malfunctions that occur in the aircraft systems as 

quickly and as accurately as possible. It is limited to the replacement of line replaceable 

units (LRU) and/or wiring repairs only to correct these failures. Regular or scheduled 

maintenance is not included as part of fault isolation. 

B. Each ATA chapter of the FIM is divided into the following sections: 

- FIM CNTS (FIM Contents) 

- FC DIAG (Fault Code Diagrams) 

- FC INDEX (Fault Code Index) 

- Component Access/Location 

- Fault Isolations Charts (Chapter/Section). 

C. The primary means of fault indication on the CRJ is the EICAS. The MDC fault 

messages are intended as diagnostic tools to aid in locating which units or 

interconnections should be repaired to cure a snag. The appearance of an MDC fault 

message on the current or history page without a corresponding EICAS message does 

not indicate a fault affecting dispatchability and does not require rectification. 

2. FIM CNTS (FIM Contents) 

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. 

3. 

A. The FIM Contents contains the list of Engil]_~ation and Crew.A!~rting_ayste.m 

(~l messages and the system comrois and indTCa.'iO'rs.lli9Controls and indicators 

are shown as they would be seen in the aircraft. 

B. The list of EICAS messages is a table which has three columns. The first column (1 ), 

MESSAGE, shows the EICAS message that is related to the failure. The second 

column (2), CLASS, shows the class of the message as follows: 

- W = Warning (Red) 

- C = Caution (Amber) 

- S =Status (White) 

- A =Advisory (Green). 

C. The third column (3), FAULT CODE DIAGRAM, shows the Fault-Code Diagram 

number. This is the Fault Code Diagram that includes the related failure or malfunction. 

D. The system controls and indicators are shown with the related fault symptoms (1) and 

the figure numbers of the related Fault-Code Diagrams (2). EICAS synoptic pages are 

included, if they are applicable. 

FC DIAG (Fault Code Diagram) 

Refer to Figure 3. 

A. The Fault Code Diagram gives the failure analysis and fault codes for all failures that can 

occur on the aircraft. The Fault Code Diagram contains five areas of data. They are as 

follows: ~

FAA Office File Number Date 

NM06 2010NM060080 7/7/10 

How long have you been a certified Mechanic? 

Since December of 1998. 

How long have you worked for SkyWest? 

Since April of 1999 

Do you recall the overpressure event and RTO involving N948SK on 5/30/2010, 

at SFO, could your tell us the sequence of events and your involvement. 

• N948SK abort take off late in the evening due to an over pressure 

indication in the RH pack. 

• The Left Pack had been deferred on the previous flight for a frozen Air 

Cycle Machine that caused a smoke smell. 

• The flight crew returned to the gate and we had a discussion. They said 

they had utilized a bleed open procedure to do the takeoff. The flight 

crew was following the FMS data displayed to them. The crew stated 

that they as not followed an SOP for a single pack take-off, and 

advanced the throttle too rapidly. I don't know why the SOP was not 

followed. Based on what the crew told me, I reset the pack using the 

QRH procedure. Which is simply recycling the system and as long as 

the pack pressure is less than 60, the pack will reset. The pack did 

reset. Then I ran the right engine and preformed several throttle ups. I 

showed the crew that the system will not over pressurize as long as the 

throttle is advanced slowly which prevents a spike in pressure. 
• The aircraft took off with no issues and stayed over night in Boise. 

• That was the extent of my work on the aircraft. 

• I know that the aircraft had more issues in the following days. Other 

SFO mechanics worked those issues. 

Did you contact maintenance control at anytime? 

• Yes, the controller Steve. (Last name unknown?). He had called and 

told us that the aircraft had aborted and was coming back to the gate. I 

had taken that phone call and that is why I met the aircraft. Then again 

post maintenance, I had another conversation' with him and informed 

him what I did. 

Joshua was called by Wendell Gehring on 7/13/2010 for a clarification of this 

statement. Joshua stated that he told maintenance control he had released the 

aircraft but had no elaborated on using the QRH to do so. Bob Cortez was present 

on that call also. 

Was there any direction from Maintenance Control on how to sign this off and 

return the aircraft to service? 

• No, nobody directed me or guided me on how to sign this off. 

Were there technical maintenance documents readily available to you such as 

the FIM, or AMM there on the line? 

Yes, 

Did you access any aircraft computers and evaluate any stored fault data? 

I looked at the LRU faults, the 200 does not have very many LRU's in the air 

conditioning system that report. I tested the Pressure sensor and saw that it 

had not latched an over pressure fault. I have seen latch failures of the over 

pressure senor before, but that was not the case this time. 

You wrote in the log that you performed a static throttle up, c·ould you explain 

what you mean by static throttle up? 

The engines were running and the throttles were moved forward and the 

system was pressurized, but the aircraft remained in a static position. 

The system did not latch another fault during the throttle up? 

No, the system checked ok and no faults were present after the runs. 
The use of the QRH and the decision to use it. Was that decided by you and 

the flight crew? 

This event happens quite often and I knew that the QRH had a means of a reset 

and I knew it was written right there. Based on the discussion with the flight 

crew I knew they had advanced the throttles too fast and not used the APU on 

the take off, so it was an induced failure. 

Is there a flight crew procedure for advancing the throttles slowly? 

There is an SOP, it includes the APU as the primary bleed source for the 

takeoff and then switch to the onside engine bleed at around 1500 feet. It 

seems that the FMS was not taking into account the deferred LH pack and the 

flight crew was following the numbers provided them. If the crew does not 

follow the SOP then the pressure will spike and then regulate, by then the 

spike will have latched the message even though the condition is no longer 

present. 

There were several more attempts to fly the aircraft in the following days to 

reposition it for maintenance. The same problem kept occurring and the LH 

pack was fixed and that solved the problem. 

Do you understand that the GMM is the manual system that SkyWest uses to 

maintain their aircraft and that the QRH is not an authorized source document 

for maintenance? 

Yes, I understand now that my interpretation was not correct in the use of the 

QRH. I will not be utilizing it as a reference for maintenance anymore because 

I understand now it is not for maintenance.

• 

I called maintenance in San Francisco and made them aware that the flight crew 

did not follow the proper procedure and asked maintenance to look at the 

problem. 

Each maintenance control daily report has two parts, a corrective action and a 

discrepancy. I had not heard back from SFO and saw that the aircraft was 

dispatched and had been flying for an hour. I called SFO maintenance to get the 

information to complete my report. SFO maintenance informed me they had reset 

the system and I made a note on the maintenance control daily log. 

Did you get a call form the flight crew that the maintenance had been completed 

and they were ready to continue? NO 

Did you coordinate with flight dispatch at anytime during the event? My 

coordination was for the abort event and to let them know that the airplane 

returned to the gate for maintenance .. 

Did you know the technician had used the QRH to correct the fault? NO, he 

simple told me that he reset the system. ·

written format using the Irregularity Report Form (Form M-52 as described 

in SP 7800, Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System (CASS)) and 

submitted through the immediate supervisor to the local manager. 

b) If the supervisor is unavailable or unresponsive the report is to be carried 

to the next higher authority in the chain of command until the condition is 

resolved. 

B. Airworthiness Release Procedure14 CFR 121.709, 121.605 

1) Federal Aviation Regulations specify an Airworthiness Release or an appropriate 

entry in the Aircraft Flight Log as a necessary requirement after maintenance, 

preventive maintenance, or alterations, which were performed on the aircraft. The 

Airworthiness Release block on the Aircraft Flight Log is the formal method used 

by the authorized certificated mechanic or repairman to issue that airworthiness 

release. A signature in that block certifies that: 

a) The work was performed in accordance with the requirements of the 

SkyWest General Maintenance Manual (GMM). 

b) All items required to be inspected were inspected by an authorized person 

who determined that the work was satisfactorily completed. 

c) No known condition exists that would make the aircraft un-airworthy 14 

CFR 121.605. . 

d) So far as the work performed is concerned, the aircraft is in condition for 

safe operation. 

2) When an aircraft is being released from scheduled maintenance, the person 

signfug the Airworthiness Release ensl¥'es that a final walk around of the aircraft 

is accomplished prior to signing the Airworthiness Release. This final walk 

around is to assure that all inspection panels and doors are secured and there are 

no obvious. discrepancies with the aircraft. 

3) An Airworthiness Release on a new Aircraft Flight Log page is to be issued 

after any scheduled maintenance, or an RII function. When any of these types 

of maintenance are accomplished, the white and yellow copies of used Aircraft 

Maintenance Log and Aircraft Flight Log pages are completed and removed from 

the log book. 

4) The Airworthiness Release on a Flight Log a requires a full signature (See SP 

7555, Definitions & Acronyms for Standard Practices, for definition of signatl,Ire). 

a) Airworthiness Release signatures must be in permanent ink. //_

C. Reinstatement of Airworthiness Release · 

Page: 6 of 11 

Revision: 04 

Date: 02/25/2008 

1) Whenever work is accomplished on the aircraft as a corrective action to a 

discrepancy, the signature of a mechanic in the signature block of the Aircraft 

Maintenance Log reinstates and amends the last previous airworthiness release. 

2) When RII maintenance actions are performed requiring the closing of Aircraft 

Flight Log page(s); on the new Aircraft Flight Log page the most recent inspection 

(A Check, Line Check, etc.) is entered in the "MAINTENANCE CHECK CIW" 

block. 

a) The date the maintenance check was accomplished is entered in parentheses 

in the same block. 

b) The date of the Airworthiness Release (date of this reinstatement) is to be 

entered in the "MO/DAY IYR" block and the airworthiness release signature 

and employee number blocks completed by an authorized individual. 

D. Valid Period for Airworthiness Release 

1) An Airworthiness Release is valid until: 

a) The next scheduled maintenance operation is accomplished (such as· 

inspection and checks), or the accomplishment of an RII function. 

b) Any discrepancies noted by flight crews during aircraft operation are 

recorded in the Aircraft Maintenance log. 

NOTE: Non-RII discrepancies written up by flight crews do not require 

re-release, see "Reinstatement of Airworthiness Release" in this 

SP. 

E. Rescinding of Airworthiness Release 

1) In the event that an aircraft airworthiness release on the Aircraft Flight Log 

(M-127) needs to be rescinded the following procedure applies. 

a) Strike out the entire airworthiness release block on the M-127 with a single 

diagonal line. 

b) The initials and employee number of the Inspector or Mechanic rescinding 

the airworthiness release is placed next to the strike out with the wording 

"RESCINDED" stamped or written in ink. 

c) The white and yellow copy of the rescinded Aircraft Flight Log pages is 

removed immediately and placed with the aircraft paperwork package. 

d) Update the Airworthiness Release Control Log (M-147) by striking the 

release verification sign off entries for the affected aircraft and enter 

employee number, initials and the wording "RESCINDED" in the outer 

column next to the strike out. Create a new open entry for. the aircraft on 

the next available line. 

F. Personnel Authorized to Sign the Airworthiness Release 

1) The Airworthiness Release on the Aircraft Flight Log is to be signed only by 

authorized individuals.

RE: File Number: 2010NM060081 

Dear Mr. Gehring: 

To ensure that SkyWest Airline (SWA) responds to each of the Federal Aviation 

Administration's (FAA) concerns contained in the above referenced document, we have 

reiterated your letter verbatim in italics with our responses in bold. 

Personnel of this office are investigating an Incident, which involved the operation of a 

Bombardier, CL-600-2819 aircraft, N 94BSW, SkyWest Flight 6140, at the San 

Francisco International Airport (SFO), on May 30, 2010. 

The aircraft maintenance log (ML 495310) for N984SW, indicates that SkyWest Airlines' 

maintenance personnel used Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) procedures to retum 

the aircraft to service, after the pilot returned to the gate for a fault indicated during 

takeoff. SkyWest's maintenance procedures require that maintenance personnel use 

only approved maintenance manuals and procedures when performing maintenance on 

SkyWest aircraft. Operations of this type are contrary to Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR). 

On 5130/2010 the left air conditioning pack was deferred on aircraft N948SW per 

MEL 21-51-1b. At that time the appropriate MEL maintenance actions were 

accomplished. On a subsequent flight the same day it was reported that there 

was an over pressure condition display for the right air conditioning pack. Note 

that the associated {0) Operations procedure specifies that certain precautions 

must be taken to prevent over pressurization of the remaining air conditioner 

pack, in this case the right pack. Despite MEL {0) Operations pro~

RE: File Number: 2010NM060081 

instructions, occasionally flight creW$ will advance the throttle levers too fast, 

resulting in an overpressure situation. Because this system was already 

deferred, the mechanic involved used the information available to him to verify 

that the right pack was indeed operating as specified. The Maintenance Manual 

does not address the potential for overpressure in the event of a deferred pack./ 

Checking that the overpressure does not occur when the MEL conditions are 

properly accounted for must be -..erified from an operational procedure, which in 

this case is found in the QRH. 

We recognize that the QRH is not the same as the AMM and is typically used 

during aircraft operation. Unfortunately not all operational check scenarios are 

covered in the AMM, particularly when systems are known to be inoperative a,:..:nd::.-..-P"~ 

deferred per the MEL. The AMM covers normal operation for most operatipnil 

checks. We wilf revise our list of approved manual list to include the QRH kit 

resource to verify operational parameters that are not covered by other 

maintenance documents. 

. This letter is to inform you that this matter is under investigation by the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA). We would appreciate receiving any evidence or statements you 

might care to make regarding this matter, with 10 days of receipt of this letter. Any 

discussion or written statement furnished by you will be given consideration in our 

investigation. If we do not hear from you within the specified time, our report will be 

processed without the benefit of your statement. 

As you are aware, we requested additional time for this response due to several 

events we have been dealing with here at headquarters. Your consideration of 

this response is appreciated.

Appendix B 

Table of Sanctions 

All Enforcement Programs 

Except Hazardous Materials 

Part One - Abbreviations and Definitions 

2150.38 

1. Applicability. This table of sanctions applies to violations that occurred on or after 

October 1, 2007. For violations occurring before October 1, 2007, FAA enforcement personnel 

apply the sanction guidance principles in FAA Order 2150.3A using up to the statutory 

maximum sanction amount in effect at the time of the violation. 

2. Abbreviations. The following abbreviations are used in this Table: 

AP IS means approved production inspection system 

A/W means airworthiness 

A WC means airworthiness certificate 

BTS means Under Secretary for Border and Transportation Security 

IA means inspection authorization 

LE means law enforcement 

PC means production certificate 

STC means supplemental type certificate 

TC means type certificate 

TFR means Temporary Flight Restriction 

TSA means Transportation Security Administration 

3. Definitions: 

a. A continuing violation arises when a specific violation occurs over more than one day 

or over more than one flight. It also may involve a violation that is ongoing, for example, an 

ongoing refusal to provide required records to the FAA for inspection. Punitive sanctions are 

appropriate for continuing violations that are not currently ongoing. Sanction guidance for 

these violations is set forth in paragraphs 6 and 7 (multiple acts or multiple violations) of 

chapter 7. A combination of punitive and remedial sanctions is appropriate when continuing 

violations are ongoing. 

b. Violation committed by a small business concern. Section 503 of Vision 1 00---Century 

of Aviation Reauthorization Act (CARA) amended 49 U.S.C. § 46301 to change the civil 

penalty amounts the FAA may seek for violations that occur on or after December 12, 2003; 

the law sets different limits on the civil penalties the FAA may seek for violations by small 

business concerns, as opposed to violations by other entities. Vision 100 CARA gives small 

business concern the same meaning as in the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. § 632). Section 

632 defines small business concern as an enterprise "which is independently owned and 

operated and which is not dominant in its field of operation." The Small Business 

Administration regulations implement the Small Business Act and define business concern as 

B-1 
10/01/07 2150.38 

"a business entity organized for profit, with a place of business located in the U.S., and which 

operates primarily within the U.S. or which makes a significant contribution to the U.S. 

economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials or labor." 13 

C.F .R. § 121.105. The SBA regulations further define small business concern in tables, 

describing each kind of entity by its economic activity or industry, and listing the limit for 

small by annual receipts or, more commonly, number of employees. (The size limits generally 

are established under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).) For the 

complete list, see 13 C.F .R. § 121.201 or the SBA' s website at www .sba.gov. Thus, if a person 

meets the definition of business concern and has annual receipts or the number of employees 

within the applicable SBA limit, it is a small business concern, and the FAA will determine the 

civil penalty using the applicable range. Limits for common aviation entities follow (in 

numbers of employees, unless otherwise noted). 

Manufacturing 

Aircraft- I ,500 employees 

Aircraft engine and part- 1,000 employees 

Other aircraft part and equipment- 1,000 employees 

Air transportation 

Scheduled passenger- 1,500 employees 

Scheduled freight- 1,500 employees 

Nonscheduled passenger- 1,500 employees 

Nonscheduled offshore marine passenger- $25.5 million annual receipts 

Nonscheduled freight- 1,500 employees 

Nonscheduled offshore marine freight- $25.5 million annual receipts 

Other nonscheduled - $6.5 million annual receipts 

Support activities - $6.5 million annual receipts 

Flight Training- $23.5 million annual receipts 

Airport operations 

Airport operator, organized for profit- $6.5 million annual receipts 

Other operations, excluding air traffic control - $6.5 million annual receipts 

Note that the following guidance uses large business concern for some civil penalty ranges. 

That is not a statutory or regulatory term for purposes ofF AA enforcement. It includes each 

business concern that exceeds the maximum limit for small business concern, as well as any 

other entity that does not meet the definition of"small business concern." 

c. Civil Penalty Ranges. For the purpose of this table, when civil penalty action is 

recommended and described as Minimum, Moderate, or Maximum, the penalty ranges are 

defined in subparagraphs ( 1) through (9) of this paragraph. Note that the middle of each 

recommended sanction range would be for a single violation without aggravating or mitigating 

factors.

d. Pending compliance or corrective action: injunctive relief. For many kinds of violations, 

there may be circumstances where the FAA should not allow the offending entity to continue to 

operate or to continue in business. Examples include a certificate holder that does not allow an 

FAA inspector to inspect the holder's operation or facilities, or an unapproved manufacturer 

that produces aircraft parts in violation of 14 C.P.R.§ 21.303. In that circumstance, suspension 

of an entity's certificate or other approval, pending compliance or corrective action, or 

injunctive relief against an entity that does not hold an FAA approval, would be appr.opriate. 

In egregious circumstances revocation of the entity's certificate or other approval may be 

warranted. Such action or relief may be considered in addition to the assessment of a civil 

penalty as recommended in the following tables. 

Furthermore, amendment or modification of a certificate or approval may be appropriate in the 

circumstance where a definitive part ofthe offending entity's operation can be safely excluded 

from the operational approval. An example is an approved aircraft parts manufacturer that 

makes multiple kinds of parts, but has quality control problems for only one kind of part. Such 

action may be considered in addition to the assessment of a civil penalty as recommended in 

the following tables.
