a. 1.3.1 Maintenance Program. Each operator/applicant must have a maintenance program adequate to perform the work 21.181 121.367 91.409
and a separate inspection program adequate to perform required inspections. Minimum Standard The program should be 121.380 119.49
identified and be traceable to its minimum standard or baseline, i.e. Maintenance Review Board (MRB), Mfr. Approved 8300.10 Vol. 2
Program or recommended tasks and intervals, fleet average, etc. In the event that the program fails to meet an established CH. 64
standard such as the MRB all areas of deficiency should be identified. Identify any OC or CM systems, assemblies, or HBAW 98-03A
components that the operator performs specific tests upon to determine their acceptability: Identify test procedures and
equipment.
Maintenance Review Board reports contains the initial minimum maintenance/inspection requirements to be used in the
development of an approved continuous airworthiness maintenance program for the airframe, engines, systems and
components.
b. 1.3.1 Certification Maintenance Requirements. A CMR is a required periodic task, established during the design 23.1309 25.1309 AC 25.19
certification of the aircraft as an operating limitation of the type certificate. CMRs are a subject of the tasks identified during 23.1529 25.1529 AC 1309 1A
the type certification process. CMRs usually result from a formal, numerical analysis conducted to show compliance with
catastrophic and hazardous failure conditions.

under 14 CFR parts 121 and 135 with an approved continuous airworthiness maintenance program, in accordance with 121.709
paragraph (*) of the AD, must incorporate the inspection requirements of the AD AWL into their existing
maintenance/inspection programs. Principal Maintenance Inspector’s with certificate management responsibilities of these
operators must ensure that the operator’s program incorporate the inspections and procedures required by the applicable
AD. These inspections are contained in the airworthiness limitations section, time limitations section, or other listing as
appropriate with reference to the manual section containing the actual procedures, of the engine manufacturer’s ICA.
d. 1.1.1 Time Controlled Items. Documentation should exist for time-controlled items installed on the aircraft and/or engine, 121.380 91.409,
1.1.2 since the last required action. The Listing should include components identified by nomenclature, part number, and serial AC 121.1A
1.3.1 number. The records should state present status and time remaining. Substantiation of these records may be made by Applicable
1.3.2 reviewing documentation as applicable to the last overhaul, last maintenance activity or manufacture. If installation cannot MRBR
be verified through record research, a physical inspection to verify component identification will be necessary.
e. 1.3.1 VOR Equipment Checks for IFR Operations. No person may operate a civil aircraft under IFR using the VOR 91.171
1.3.2 system of radio navigation unless the VOR equipment of that aircraft; (1) Is maintained, checked, and inspected under an TSO-C40c

TCAS ANTENNA. The active Mode S transponder shall have a top and bottom Omni-directional antenna. The TCAS II shall TSO-C119b
have a top directional antenna and a bottom Omni-directional or directional antenna.
(A) Directional antennas. For an aircraft installation, the TCAS II directional antenna should be located on the top
forward fuselage as close to the centerline as possible. If more than one directional antenna is provided, locate the second
antenna in a similar manner on the lower fuselage. The TCAS II antennas should be mounted on the aircraft with at least
20-db isolation from other L band frequency antennas. Since the antenna diameter may be large, some structural
considerations may be necessary and a centerline offset resulting in an angular offset of up to 5 degrees is acceptable. The
maximum height of the directional antenna is expected to be approximately 1 inch, and therefore is not considered
susceptible to icing effects in the general area of the proposed installation. Otherwise, anti-icing provisions should be
considered. Section 3 of Volume I of RTCA document DO-185 provides antenna selection and performance criteria. For
propeller driven aircraft, the location and performance of the directional antenna must be investigated for minimum blockage
and to ensure that the propellers do not interfere with system operation.
(B) Omni-directional antennas. The TCAS II antennas should be mounted on the aircraft with at least 20-db isolation
from other L band frequency antennas. The Mode S transponder antennas shall be mounted at locations chosen for
adequate isolation and signal coverage. These antennas may be standard ATCRBS transponder antennas.
(C) Structural analysis. A structural analysis of the antenna installations showing compliance with the applicable FAR
should be submitted to the FAA. This includes the structural provisions for a beam steering unit (if installed) if it is not
mounted in a standard avionics rack.

gear is not extended and locked for landing. This section does not apply to transport category airplanes that are required to 25.1309(c)
comply with 25.729(e) as part of type certification. 25.729(e) requires a warning to serve the same purpose as 121.189, but
does not require the warning to be activated by wing flap position. 23.729(f) requires a landing gear warning system, but
does not require the warning to be aural. This section currently requires such warning means to be both throttle and flap
position activated
jjj. 1.1.2 Aural speed Warning Device. A speed-warning device is required for turbine engine powered airplanes and for 23.1303(e) 25.1303(c) CAR4b.603(k)
airplanes with VMO/MMO greater than 0.8 VDF/MDF or 0.8 VD/MD. The speed warning device must give effective aural (1) 91.603

supply of no less than 0.55 pounds per minute (10 qubic feet per minute), must be maintained in all areas occupied by 25.831(g), 4b.371(e)
passengers or flight crew. Pressurized aircraft must be able to maintain an 8,000 feet cabin pressure altitude. The 25.841 &
compartments must be free of noxious gases or fumes or other dangerous air contamination. 25.832
"E" cargo compartments are sealed vessels within the pressurized vessel; flow of air in "E" compartment is controlled by
flight crew using the "E" compartment air flow control valve and closing the 9G bulkhead sealed door. Ozone concentration
must also meet the requirements of FAR 25.853 and 121.578.
l. 1.1.1 Aircraft's existing cargo restrain system installation, (restrain system, pallets and nets), must be properly certificated, (FAR TSO C90 OR

program in compliance with FAR 25.1529.
Note: The authorized ULD's for a particular aircraft configuration should be noted in the operator’s manuals. Also, non-
certified ULD's are allowed on certain aircraft however, a maintenance program must be shown that prevents these ULD's
from becoming a hazard to the aircraft.
m. 1.1.1 FAR 25.787(c) requires that if cargo compartment lamps are installed, each lamp must be installed so as to prevent contact 25.787(c)
between the lamp bulb and cargo (protective covering). In addition to illuminating the cargo compartment during ground
handling and maintenance operations, the ceiling lights in commercial airplane cargo compartments are part of an important
safety system. These light assemblies are a component of the cargo lining and are designed to contribute to the smoke- and
Fire-containment requirements of various aviation regulatory agencies. However, if a light lens assembly is damaged,
missing, or modified, the bulb could become a fire ignition source. In addition, if the light lens were missing on some Newer
commercial airplane models, the cargo compartment would no longer meet its certification requirements for fire
containment.
n. 1.1.2 Main cabin utilized for cargo only must be equipped with a 9g barrier in compliance with this section. The floor, ceiling, 25.561(b)(3) 4b.260(a)
