• A committee was formed by the Government of Pakistan in 1976 to draft rules for the regulation of Air Transport in Pakistan.

• As a result of these, a set of Rules known as the “Civil Aviation Rules 1978” were formulated and later promulgated in January 1979.

• The Pakistan Civil Aviation Ordinance, 1982 has replaced the erstwhile Department of Civil Aviation with a semi - autonomous body known as the Civil Aviation Authority (C.A.A.).

• As from 7th December, 1982 the Aeronautical Inspection Directorate and its functions have been transferred to Airworthiness Directorate of the Civil Aviation Authority and all applications and enquiries hitherto addressed to A.I.D.

• Head Office should be addressed to HQs Civil Aviation Authority, Airworthiness Directorate, JIAP Karachi.

EWIS BACKGROUND AND TARGET GROUPS

EWIS TRAINING BACKGROUND Over the years there have been a number of in-flight smoke and fire events where contamination sustained and caused the fire to spread. Regulators and Accident Investigators have conducted aircraft inspections and found wiring contaminated with items such as dust, dirt, metal shavings, lavatory waste water, coffee, soft drinks, and napkins. In some cases, dust has been found completely covering wire bundles and the surrounding area. Research has also demonstrated that wiring can be harmed by collateral damage when maintenance is being performed on other aircraft systems. For example, a person performing an inspection of an electrical power centre or avionics compartment may inadvertently cause damage to wiring in an adjacent area. Aviation Accident Investigators have specifically cited the need for improved training of personnel to ensure adequate recognition and repair of potentially unsafe wiring conditions. To fully realise the objectives EWIS, operators, ho

Sub Module 7.18: Aircraft Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Techniques

Image
EASA PART 66 / SARI MODULE 7 NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT): Nearly all inspection operations on aircraft structures are carried out visually at intervals specified in the Approved Maintenance Schedule. Sometimes visual examination is not practicable, or there may be some uncertainty about the serviceability of a part and one of the methods of nondestructive examination may be used to determine its condition. Non-destructive tests seek to detect defects such as cracks or corrosion either at the surface of below it and a number of methods are presently in use. In each case the part being tested is not harmed in any way.  The selection of the method to be used will depend on the design of the structure, its accessibility and the nature of the suspected defect. 1. VISUAL INSPECTION Visual inspection is the oldest of the non-destructive methods of testing. It is a quick and economical method of detecting various types of cracks before they progress sufficiently to cause failure. Its reliabi
