Aircraft Maintenance Manual:

Definition: The formal document which details the way in which all
maintenance tasks carried out on an aircraft shall be accomplished.
This includes items such as lubrication system functional checks and
servicing of the airplane but usually excludes structural repairs and
modifications.
Purpose: To includes such tasks as ensuring compliance with the
airworthiness and proper servicing of the aircraft. A manual
developed by the particular airplane manufacturing business that
has facts geared up to the AMT or even technician exactly who
performs work towards models, components, and techniques while
they were installed on the particular airplane.

Fault Isolation Manual:

Definition: Each system must detect fault conditions to prevent the
system from using failed components. Systems contain monitors
sufficient to detect faults as necessary to meet safety requirements
and other economic objectives. Figure 13 illustrates the fault
detection and processing concept used on the Boeing 777.
Purpose: Determining the cause of a problem. Also known as "fault
diagnosis," the term may refer to hardware or software, but always
deals with methods that can isolate the component, device or
software module causing the error. Fault isolation may be part of
hardware design at the circuit level all the way up to the complete
system. It is accomplished by building in test circuits and/or by
dividing operations into multiple regions or components that can be
monitored separately.

Component Location Manual:

Definition: This manual contains a general description and operation
followed by data for maintenance, repair, disassembly and assembly
of the equipment.
Purpose: this manual give the information necessary to do
maintenance functions ranging from simple checks and replacement
to complete shop type repair for the equipment, manufactured and
supported

Dispatch Deviation Guide:

Dispatch Deviation Guide - What to do if something is broken, for
both (M)aintenance and (O)perations people (e.g., pilots).
A/B/C/D - Different deadlines (as specified, 3/10/120 days) for
getting broken equipment fixed, if you are allowed to fly with it
broken.
A reportable irregularity other than a dispatch deficiency that does
not preclude an on-time departure.

Configuration Deviation List:

A configuration deviation list (CDL) is a list, established by the
organization responsible for the type design with the approval of
the State of Design, which identifies any external parts of an
aircraft type which may be missing at the commencement of a
flight, and which contains, where necessary, any information on
associated operating limitations and performance correction. (ICAO
Annex 6: Operation of Aircraft)
The CDL is usually prepared by the aircraft manufacturer and is part
of the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM).
The CDL should not be confused with the Minimum Equipment
List (MEL).
Regulations and supplementary information concerning the CDL are
contained in EU-OPS.

Task Card:
You use the applications in the Task Card module to manage the
work performed on a regular schedule to keep aircraft or equipment
running efficiently. The applications can help you to plan and budget
for regular maintenance work by planning the labor, material,
service, and tool needs of your regularly scheduled maintenance
and inspection work orders.

Federal Aviation Regulatory:

The Federal Aviation Regulations, or FARs, are rules prescribed by
the Federal
Aviation
Administration (FAA)
governing
all aviation activities in the United States. The FARs are part of Title
14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). A wide variety of
activities are regulated, such as aircraft design and maintenance,
typical
airline
flights,
pilot
training
activities, hot-air
ballooning, lighter-than-air aircraft, man-made structure heights,
obstruction
lighting
and
marking,
and
even model
rocket launches, model aircraft operation, sUAS & Drone operation,
and kite flying. The rules are designed to promote safe aviation,
protecting pilots, flight attendants, passengers and the general
public from unnecessary risk. Since 1958, these rules have typically
been referred to as "FARs", short for Federal Aviation Regulations.
However, another set of regulations (Title 48) is titled "Federal
Acquisitions Regulations", and this has led to confusion with the use
of the acronym "FAR". Therefore, the FAA began to refer to specific
regulations by the term "14 CFR part XX".

Advisory Circular:
Advisory circular (AC) refers to a type of publication offered by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide guidance for
compliance with airworthiness regulations. They define acceptable
means, but not the only means, of accomplishing or showing
compliance with airworthiness regulations. Generally informative in
nature, Advisory Circulars are neither binding nor regulatory; yet
some have the effect of de facto standards or regulations.
Advisory
circulars
typically
refer
to
industry
standards
from SAE and RTCA. Some Advisory circulars are only a few pages
long and do little more than reference a recommended standard; for
example, AC 20-115B referencing DO-178B.[3] Others, like AC 20-

115C, are considerably longer; in this case giving guidance in how to

transition from DO-178 revision B to C.

Airworthiness Directives:
An airworthiness directive (commonly abbreviated as AD) is a
notification to owners and operators of certified aircraft that a
known safety deficiency with a particular model of aircraft, engine,
avionics or other system exists and must be corrected.
If a certified aircraft has outstanding airworthiness directives that
have not been complied with, the aircraft is not considered
airworthy. Thus, it is mandatory for an aircraft operator to comply
with an AD.

ADs usually result from service difficulty reporting by operators or

from the results of aircraft accident investigations. They are issued
either by the national civil aviation authority of the country of
aircraft manufacture or of aircraft registration. When ADs are issued
by the country of registration they are almost always coordinated
with the civil aviation authority of the country of manufacture to
ensure that conflicting ADs are not issued.
In detail, the purpose of an AD is to notify aircraft owners:

that the aircraft may have an unsafe condition, or

that the aircraft may not be in conformity with its basis of

certification or of other conditions that affect the aircraft's
airworthiness, or

that there are mandatory actions that must be carried out to

ensure continued safe operation, or

that, in some urgent cases, the aircraft must not be flown until
a corrective action plan is designed and carried out.

Service
Bulletin:
A Service Bulletin is the document used by manufacturers of
aircraft, their engines or their components to communicate details
of modifications which can be embodied in aircraft. In some cases,
these may be issued as a Mandatory SB (or MSB) in which case a

corresponding Airworthiness Directive (AD) will be issued by the

appropriate NAA.
