Q. As a B1 LAME (on an IFR aircraft) can I:
1. Inspect and disassemble a connector or component in an Avionic ATA?
2. Troubleshoot faults in an Avionic ATA if I perform a simple test and it fails?
Simple test means a test described in approved maintenance data that meets all of the following criteria as defined in section 66.5 of the Part 66 Manual of Standards::
The serviceability of the system can be verified using aircraft controls, switches, built-in test equipment (BITE), central maintenance computer (CMC) or external test equipment not involving special training;
Test troubleshooting. Troubleshooting means the published approved fault isolation maintenance procedures and actions outlined in maintenance data, used as necessary in order to identify the root cause of a defect or malfunction. It may include the use of BITE or external test equipment. Troubleshooting may involve avionic LRU changes, however, it does not involve multiple LRU changes in pursuit of a system fault, unless the changes are made in accordance with a published approved fault isolation maintenance procedure (e.g. Troubleshooting Manual, Fault Isolation Manual procedure).
3. Splice a (data) wire in an Avionic ATA?
4. Disconnect a hard wired connection in an Avionic ATA?
5. Inspect an Avionic System outside of a simple daily/weekly check eg Base Maintenance check?
It would depend on what the inspection involved - if the instructions for continued airworthiness called for an inspection that included only simple test requirements then yes. If the instructions for continued airworthiness require interpretation and application of avionics knowledge as part of the inspection (ie other than following maintenance instructions that are a set of steps) then the inspection would require a B2 to provide the maintenance certification for the inspections.
