3. EXPLANATION
This document outlines the initial requirements for an approved maintenance program for SAAB 340 aircraft. It is
intended that it will allow each operator to develop a complete maintenance program within the framework of the
requirements of this document that is compatible with his own basic maintenance policy. No specific form of
maintenance program is required.
This document is for the guidance of the operator in the preparation of his original maintenance programs and for
the guidance of the appropriate regulatory authority in the approval of those maintenance programs. Prior to
approving the SAAB 340 maintenance program, the authority shall ascertain that the operator has included all the
requirements in this document. This information may be maintained in separate documents providing such
documents are appropriately referenced in the operators maintenance program.
Requirements of the SAAB 340 Maintenance Program were developed under the process guidelines of the ATA
Airline/Manufacturer Maintenance Program Planning Document (MSG–3). MSG–3 has been accepted by the
Swedish LFV in consultation with the French D G A C, the Netherlands R L D, the U.K. C A A and the U.S. F A A
as the method for producing the MRB report.
4. BASIS FOR STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES
The Maintenance Review Board Report for the SAAB 340 was developed by review, analysis and revision of the
Industry Proposed Maintenance Program. The industry proposal was developed by the following process:
An Industry Maintenance Steering Committee and five Working Groups (Section G, appendix 3) representing the
airline operators who contracted for the purchase of the SAAB 340, Saab–Scania AB, Fairchild Industries,
General Electric Company and Dowty–Rotol Limited utilized MSG–3, ”Airline/Manufacturer Maintenance Program
Planning Document”, dated October 1980 to develop the program. Specific application of MSG–3 to the SAAB
340 is described in the MSG–3 Maintenance Review Procedure Document, 72LAS0006. Copies of this Procedure
Document can be obtained from:

5. GENERAL RULES THAT APPLY TO ALL SAAB 340 MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
A. The operator’s manuals shall contain the details and responsibilities for accomplishing the maintenance
required by this document. The completion of task requirements is to be in accordance with appropriate
Technical manuals issued for SAAB 340 aircraft.
B. Whenever any scheduled tasks are carried out, the structure and systems in the affected area are to be
checked for accidental damage as the final item before leaving the area.
C. An inspection of the adjacent area will be accomplished whenever other scheduled maintenance is
specified, such as when cable, zonal or structural inspections are made.
D. The overall reliability of the SAAB 340 shall be monitored by each operator’s system for continuous
analysis and surveillance as required by National regulations. The manufacturer will establish a reliability
monitoring program to which operators using this document as a basis for their maintenance program shall
contribute the necessary data. Ref. MSG−3 Maintenance Review Procedure Document, 72LAS0006.
E. Tasks defined as Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) are included in section F of the
MRB Report and are also listed in the Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS).
CMR tasks arise from the SAAB 340 certification process where System Safety Analysis found the
inspection/test interval to have a direct influence on the safety objectives (FAR/JAR 25.1309), ref.
also Saab Doc. No. 72DSS0602. CMRs may be revised only with approval of the certificating
authority. CMR tasks and intervals are Mandatory and may not be modified by the operator.
F. Tasks qualified as Airworthiness Structural Items and Airworthiness Life Limited Items are listed in
Section F. These limits may be revised only with approval of the certificating authority. These tasks
and intervals are Mandatory and may not be modified by the operator.
G. The individual maintenance tasks and frequencies shown in this document other than the special found in
the requirement Airworthiness Limitations section (section F) may be adjusted/escalated in accordance
with appropriate regulatory authority practices after sampling requirements have been met.
H. Each operator should be cognizant of the numerous inspection techniques, such as "X−ray", "sonic".
"eddy current", "radio isotope", etc., which are available (Ref. Nondestructive Testing Manual, NDT). The
use of such techniques can be developed to provide a valuable alternative to the prescribed visual
inspection specified in the SAAB 340 maintenance program. Any substitution of inspection technique
mentioned above must have appropriate regulatory approval authority.
I. Within this document the terms "check" and "inspection" are not intended to imply a level of skill required
to accomplish the task.
J. Tasks which are approved by other regulatory authorities e.g. the task for a flight crew check/test list, may
also be considered to be within the requirements of the scheduled maintenance program.
NOTE: US OPERATORS ONLY.
An operator may take credit for tasks described in this report, when accomplished in the flight
deck by the flight crew as part of a local regulatory authority approved flight deck normal check
list. Those tasks must be reviewed and approved by the local regulatory authority to assure
accountability.
SECTION A
Page 4
Jan/05
K. For the purpose of this document, an operator’s fleet is defined as the number of aircraft an operator has
on order at the time that operator commences SAAB 340 operation. In the event the size of an operator’s
fleet changes, the associated maintenance programs that are dependent upon the original fleet size will be
adjusted accordingly.
L. All task frequencies excluding airworthiness limitations specified in flight hours (time in service), cycles or
calendar basis may be converted and listed in the operator’s program to reflect the appropriate frequency
as utilized under the operator’s maintenance program, provided such conversions do not result in
exceeding the figures specified in this document.
M. Those lubrication requirements specified in this MRB Report arise from the MSG−3 analysis process and
do not represent the total lubrication provisions for the aircraft. Accordingly, operators of the SAAB 340
should refer to the manufacturer’s appropriate maintenance publications for additional lubrication
recommendations.
N. Where reference is made to national regulations the more frequent requirement applies.
O. Inspection, hydrostatic test and life limits will be accomplished as set forth in code of federal regulations
title 49 part 173 or the latest revision of manufacturer’s technical data or according to national regulations.
P. Each Operator will accomplish the sampling inspections specified by this document on an individual basis
unless combined with a group of operators.
(1) A group of Operators may apply to the appropriate regulatory authority for approval of a program to
combine their fleets for the purpose of accomplishing any power plant, component, structural, or
landing gear sampling inspections specified by this document. Scheduling requirements for such
combined fleets shall be the same as for any single operator’s fleet. It must be determined that the
combination of operators has the same or compatible maintenance program.
(2) Inspections accomplished before 75% of the interval specified do not count towards the sampling
programs.
Q. Maintenance control by reliability methods (US Operators only).
(1) The overall reliability of the SAAB 340 will be monitored by each operator’s system for continuous
analysis and surveillance as required by FAR 121.373.
(2) The SAAB 340 maintenance program is structured to be administered in conjunction with an approved
reliability program as described by FAA Advisory Circular 120−17A.
(3) Each U.S. Operator or group of operators will have the provisions of the data collection and monitoring
system, specified in this document for the SAAB 340 incorporated as part of their FAA approved
maintenance program. In the event this arrangement is cancelled, altered or if either party should
cease for any reason to provide the services contracted for, the entire program is subject to
reevaluation by the FAA.
R. The current issue of this MRB Report is based on service experienced airline type operations with an
aircraft utilization between 1500 and 2500 flight hours (FH) per year.
Operator, with a much lower yearly utilization, shall consult Saab in order to establish an appropriate
scheduled maintenance program, to submit to the regulatory authority.

7. REVISIONS TO THE MRB REPORT

Task and task frequency requirements generated by changed situations subsequent to the issue of this Initial
Maintenance Program will for immediate changes be handled directly by SAAB 340 through issuance of
Temporary Revisions to this document. The changes will be approved by Saab Design Reviewers (LFV
approved), and FAA Aircraft Evaluation Group, Seattle. Changes to Airworthiness Limitations must be directly
approved by the LFV (Swedish Civil Aviation Authority) and by the LFV on behalf of the FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration) for U.S. registered aircraft in accordance with the provisions of 14 CFR Section 21.29.
The future revisions to this document will incorporate such changed requirements from Temporary Revision.
The revisions will be classified as either major or minor and will be approved by the SAAB 340 MRB.
Major revisions entail extensive changes to the requirements such as may be introduced by new power plants,
new versions, etc.
Minor revisions are those which do not entail extensive changes and will be normally associated with additional
requirements for particular modifications, general clarification and improvement.
Revisions may be requested by:
– SAAB 340 Maintenance Review Board
– Present and potential SAAB 340 operators
– Saab Aircraft AB
The revision process will be handled by Saab after consultation with the SAAB 340 Maintenance Review Board.
The major revisions will require review according to current maintenance analysis procedure by SAAB 340
Industry Steering Committee (ISC).

SYSTEMS & POWERPLANT PROGRAM
1. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL RULES

This section covers all airplane Systems including Propeller and Powerplant.
A. General Rules
It is to be noted that MSG–3 logic considers a hidden function in combination with an additional failure. For
protective systems the additional failure is considered to be the system/component failure resulting in an
abnormal condition that required the use of the protective system.
Initial check intervals for the Systems and Powerplant program are expressed in flight hours, flight cycles or
calendar time. Any check interval change is to be substantiated by service experience.
The manufacturer identified MSI’s listed in Section B, are those that generated a task(s) when subjected to
MSG–3 analysis. Those MSI’s that did not generate a task during MSG–3 analysis (No Scheduled Maintenance)
are included and identified in the full listing of MSI candidates (Family trees) in the substantiating data which
supports this report.
The identified MSI’s listed in Section B are classified according to route categories given in MSG–3 (column: CAT)
i.e.
Route Task classification
5 Evident safety effects
6 Evident economic (Operational) effects
7 Evident economic (No–operational) effects
8 Hidden function safety effects
9 Hidden function non–safety effects
Tasks which have been selected by MSG–3 analysis as having a significant effect on safety and identified in this
document as route 5 and 8 shall only be deleted or the task frequency escalated if adequate evidence has been
accumulated to justify such change and the change is approved by the appropriate Regulatory Authority.
Tasks not selected by MSG–3 analysis (may be selected based on service experience etc.) may have no route
category given (column: CAT).
B. Off–Aircraft Maintenance Program Rules

MSG–3 logic was used to develop an on–aircraft scheduled maintenance program. With the exception of
life–limited parts, this process does not include off–aircraft in–shop maintenance tasks.
(1) Threshold Inspections
The manufacturers may recommend such inspections in the event that late development or early
in–service experience would dictate the need to examine specific components or engines. If this is
necessary, then direct negotiations between applicable operators and the manufacturers will be
necessary. Results of these inspections are to be made available by the manufacturers to other
operators as well as the regulatory authorities.
(2) Opportunity Inspections
Opportunity inspections of certain components and accessories may be recommended. No specific list
of items will be included; however, if the need exists, operators will be requested by the manufacturers
to cooperate in obtaining necessary samples on an ”as required” basis. Results of these inspections will
be made available by the manufacturers to other operators as well as the regulatory authorities and user
airlines.

The Engine life limited parts are controlled per General Electric manual SEI 576 latest revision. Off
aircraft tasks are controlled by General Electric approved manuals and Service Bulletin CT7–TP
72–02 latest revision or by the individual operators approved engine maintenance programs. These
programs may include Threshold and Opportunity Inspections as defined above.
(b) Engine for SAAB 340B (CT7–9B)
The Engine life limited parts are controlled per General Electric manual SEI 576 latest revision.
Off–aircraft tasks are controlled by General Electric approved manuals and Service Bulletin
CT7–TP 72–02 latest revision or by the individual operators approved engine maintenance
programs. These programs may include Threshold and Opportunity Inspections as defined above.
(4) Propellers
(a) Propeller – Dowty Rotol
The propeller tasks are controlled by Dowty Rotol approved manuals. The propeller overhaul life
sampling program is described in Dowty Rotol Service Bulletin61–996 (latest revision).
(b) Propeller – Hamilton Sundstrand
The propeller tasks are controlled by Hamilton Sundstrand approved manuals. The current
propeller major inspection interval (MII), is provided in the latest revision of the FAA approved
Hamilton Sundstrand Service Bulletin 14RF–19–61–1 which describes the propeller analytical
sampling program.
(5) Landing Gears
(a) Retraction Actuators
The retraction actuators on both SAAB 340A and 340B models are identical (same partnumber).
Consequently, it has been concluded that the same overhaul interval shall apply.
SECTION B
Page 2
Jan/05
(6) Air Cycle Machine
The Air Cycle Machine (ACM) Threshold Sampling Program has been completed.
Based upon the results Hamilton Sundstrands recommendation for an economical overhaul period is
6000 flight hours.
This is not a hard time, but rather a guideline for the airlines maintenance planning intending to give the
operator an alternative to a more costly overhaul should the Air Cycle Machine (ACM) be flown until
failure.
The recommendation includes both the Air Cycle Machine (ACM) and the Dual Heat Exchanger.
(7) Flight Control Disconnect and Spring units
The disassembly and analytical inspection of Disconnect and Spring units after more than 4 years from
entry into service has been completed. Based on these results no further analytical inspection is
required.
(8) Hydraulic motor–pump assembly
An initial disassembling and analytical inspection of two Hydraulic motor pump assemblies after 2000 fh
from entry into service with airplanes regularly utilizing propeller brake with RH Engine running in
propeller brake mode is required to ascertain the condition with respect to the higher rate of pump
operating hours related to the flight hours. This inspection will be controlled by Saab through direct
contact with the Lead operators.

1. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

To ensure continuing airworthiness of the SAAB 340 airplane structure.
The SAAB 340 design has a design service goal of 90000 FL or 45000 FH, whichever occurs first. For aircraft
defined in SB 340–51–022 (Mod. No. 3114) an extended service goal of 90000 FL or 60000 FH, whichever occurs
first, is provided
2. EXPLANATION
The structural inspection program described herein is intended to serve as a guide to operators for developing
individual airline maintenance programs. Development was based on the procedures outlined in Maintenance
Program Planning Document MSG–3. Specific application of the MSG–3 structure analysis method is described
in the Maintenance Program Development Policy and Procedure Document 72LAS0006.
This program constitutes the initial structural inspections. Structural significant items (SSI’s) have been selected
according to the MSG–3 rules. The structures program defines the directed inspection requirements for these
SSI’s. All the remaining structure (not covered by the SSI list) will be inspected within the zonal inspection
program (section D).
The SAAB 340 structural maintenance program is developed to satisfy the new requirements for damage
tolerance. This has required development of new procedures for determining the adequacy of the inspection
program for timely detection of damage. The major forms of damage considered during program development are
environmental deterioration (corrosion, stress corrosion), accidental damage and fatigue damage. Some forms of
damage, such as most types of corrosion, are calendar time dependent. Inspections for timely detection of this
type of damage are based on calendar interval. These, plus the requirements for accidental damage, are used to
determine the initial scheduled maintenance program for SSI’s and zone surveillance.
Fatigue damage is primarily dependent upon the quality of the structure and the variation of operating stress. In
most cases the majority of damage initiation and subsequent crack growth is caused by the major
Ground–Air–Ground load variation occurring once per flight.
Therefore, flight cycles are used as the basis for determining inspection threshold and repeat intervals in order to
achieve a timely fatigue damage detection.
NOTE: Thresholds and intervals are based on typical aircraft operations corresponding to an average
flight time of 0.8 FH per flight. If an operator utilizes the SAAB 340 for substantially longer flight
times, the thresholds and intervals shall be adjusted accordingly (Ref fig 1) for those tasks that
are affected by cabin pressure i.e. ATA 52, 53 and 56 (intervals marked with asterisk* not
affected by reduction factor).
Usage of Fig. 1 requires information of the average fleet flight altitude due to fact that longer
flight time generally means that higher altitudes are reached and thereby a severe cabin
pressurization spectra.
The correlation between the average fleet altitudes and the impact of the cabin pressure is
significant.
Environmental deterioration is likely to occur as corrosion with either systematic or random characteristics. Items
showing corrosion on a systematic basis (e.g. galvanic, intergranular, filiform, microbiological, crevice, fretting and
pitting) for which development will be related to increasing age of the aircraft, the inspection of a selected lead
fleet will ensure proper detection.
For such cases, an Age Exploration Program (A.E.P.) concept is used, and when in–service experience on similar
aircraft is available, a threshold is proposed. Operators that implement the A.E.P. shall contact Saab first, and it is
mandatory to provide written reports on all A.E.P. tasks. Operators that do not implement the A.E.P. must do all

Items showing corrosion on a random basis (e.g. stress corrosion, accidental causes such as fluid spillage or
rupture of protective treatment) don’t follow any law limited to calendar or flight hours. For such cases, inspections
shall be applied to all aircraft at each repeat interval without threshold (covered by Zonal inspection program,
section D).
ATA zones are used to group the internal and external inspection requirements.

3. PROGRAM DESIGN
This program is designed to provide timely detection and repair of structural damage which may occur in the fleet
during commercial operations. Detection of corrosion, stress corrosion, minor accidental damage and fatigue
cracking by visual and/or NDI procedures is considered. Major accidental damage such as that caused by bird
strike or large ground handling equipment is considered obvious and tell–tale signs such as fuel leaks, loose
fasteners or loss of cabin pressure continues to be an essential part of the structural inspection program.
4. OPERATING RULES
The following rules apply to accomplishment of the SAAB 340 Structural Inspection Program:
A. All aircraft in an operator’s or group of operator’s fleet shall be subject to the provisions of this document.
These include requirements for external and internal inspections, age exploration programs, and a fatigue
related structural inspection program.
B. Initial check intervals for the structural inspection program are expressed in both calendar time and flight
cycles. Any check interval change is to be substantiated by service experience.
C. Special detailed inspections are to be used when specified for inspecting hidden details or may be used as
alternatives to detailed visual inspections. Hidden details requiring NDI procedures are listed under
appropriate zones either internally or externally.
D. Normal clean–up procedures are to be used prior to conducting inspections. Specified clean–up procedures
are to be used for special detailed inspections. Sealant and corrosion protection finishes should only be
removed when specified. The need of reapplying corrosion inhibiting compound will be determined at the
time of inspection and by the criteria spelled out in manufacturers instruction.
E. For aircraft operating in severe corrosion environment (Ref. Advisory Circular AC 43–4A), operators shall
contact Saab Aircraft Customer Support in order to establish an appropriate maintenance program.
F. A separate Bonding Integrity Inspection Program to be performed by the manufacturer is defined in
document 72SAS0452.
5. AGE EXPLORATION PROGRAM (A.E.P.)

A. Definition
(1) A systematic evaluation of an item based on analysis of collected information from in–service
experience. It assesses the item’s resistance to environmental deterioration with respect to increasing
age.
B. Purpose
(1) The purpose of an AEP is for operators to provide written reports to the manufacturer regarding the
on–going condition of selected areas of the structure. The information is sourced via routine tasks from
a selected sample of aircraft from each operator and enables the manufacturer to form any type–design
changes where necessary.
C. Effectivity
(1) In this MRB, the tasks that require the AEP report action are identified with the Task Number suffix –80
and are highlighted in the Remarks column as “AEP”. These annotations do not restrict the applicable
Tasks to the sample A/C selected. These Tasks are all applicable to all other effective A/C.
(2) When the oldest (lead) aircraft of the operator or group of operators fleet reaches the inspection
Threshold/Interval, all aircraft for the operator or group of operators that are within a range of 2 years of
the oldest/lead A/C are considered to be sample candidates for the AEP.
SECTION C
Page 3
Jan/05
D. Sampling
(1) The A/C sampling size for the AEP highlighted tasks is ideally based on a 20% representation
(mathematically rounded up or down as required) of the operator fleet size.
(2) At least one A/C per operator or group of operators is to be selected at each applicable inspection.
(3) Not less than 20% nor more than 50% of the operator’s or group of operators’ aircraft shall be selected
for A.E.P. Where necessary, the range of 2 years shall be adjusted to achieve this condition.
6. REPORTING OF INSPECTION RESULTS

A. AGE EXPLORATION PROGRAM (AEP) Inspection summary forms are provided in Section G, Appendix 7.
All Operators who choose to implement the Age Exploration Program must complete the Inspection
summary forms. These forms are then sent to: Saab Aircraft AB
S–581 88 Linköping,
Sweden
Attn: ACD–PS
Maintenance Programs.
B. All other significant structural discrepancies are to be reported to Saab via the procedures already
established for other A/C programs (e.g. Service Difficulty Reports).
C. A structural inspection summary, including discrepancies found during scheduled inspections of items listed
in this section, are to be reported using the procedure described in Section G, Appendix 4. Where practical
for these items, details of the initial size of damage found and the inspection method used should be
reported, as well as any other damage found by subsequent examination. Each operator is required to
submit this information to Saab.

1. GENERAL
The zonal inspection program serves two primary purposes:
A. The program assures that all systems/components/installations contained in a zone receive adequate
surveillance to determine security of installation and general condition.
B. The program provides packaging of a number of general visual inspection tasks generated against
maintenance significant items (MSI’s) and structures environmental and accidental items into one or more
zonal surveillance tasks. Operator may take credit for zone surveillance tasks and transfer MSI’s to the Zonal
Inspection Program ; this will be negotiated between the operator and his regulatory authority.
2. ZONAL INSPECTION CRITERIA
In general the inspections are visual and require no inspection aids other than lamp and mirror.
The described inspection task – surveillance – is valid for all items to be inspected in the affected zone. Unless
otherwise indicated, the whole of the zones, as visible, are to be inspected from normal viewing distance i.e. in
most cases from within a distance of one arms length.
It is assumed that the inspector has an adequate level of knowledge of the aircraft construction and of its system
installation.
The zonal inspection requires the action to gain access to the zone and possible cleaning, draining and ventilating
the fuel tanks.
The extent of the zonal inspection, is also defined by the access i.e. identification of access doors and panels to
be removed, lifting of insulation etc and positioning of flight control surfaces.
A. All components will be inspected for:
(1) Security of attachments, visible connections, electrical bonding, safety wiring, leakage, cracks,
corrosion, chafing, evidence of overheating, condition of painting and corrosion treatment and
cleanliness.
B. All mechanical controls will be inspected for:
(1) Security of attachments, safety wiring, alignment, free and full movement, electrical bonding correctly
installed.
(2) Distortion, corrosion, fraying, chafing, kinking, evidence of wear, cracks, flattening and condition of
painting and corrosion treatment.
C. All tubing will be inspected for:
(1) Evidence of leakage, cracks, corrosion, security of attachments, chafing, sufficient free length, safety
wiring, sign of overheating, clamping and correctly positioned.
D. All ducting will be inspected for:
(1) Evidence of leakage, cracks, corrosion, delamination, crushing, chafing, security of attachments, safety
wiring, sign of overheating, clamping and fluid soakage.
E. All wiring will be inspected for:
(1) Insulation damage, security of attachments, sufficient free length, clamping and sign of overheating.
(2) Connectors, terminals and terminal blocks for security, corrosion, legibility of markings.
SECTION D
Page 1
Jan/05
F. All metallic structures and parts will be inspected for:

(1) Visible cracks, corrosion, disbonding, distortion, dents, chafing, crushing, bulging, overheating, lightning
damage, missing or loose fasteners, hinges and latches for wear, sign of leakage (fuel or cabin
pressure) fluid spillage, cleanliness, condition of painting and corrosion treatment.
G. All non–metallic structures and parts such a fairings, seals, control surfaces, insulation, windows, etc. will be
inspected for:
(1) Cleanliness, finish, security of attachment, connections and locking, sufficient free length.
(2) Freedom from cracks, cuts, chafing, kinking, twisting, crushing, contraction, deterioration, crazing, loss
of flexibility, overheating, fluid soakage, delamination.
(3) Integrity of lightning protection.
NOTE: Controls shall be operated as necessary to facilitate the requirements of paragraphs A thru G
inclusive.
NOTE: Zonal inspection will include checking the zone/area for freedom from foreign objects such as
tools, rags, etc. and for freedom from accidental damage.
3. NOTES
A. Zones which contain no systems installation or which receive adequate surveillance from major
zone/subzone inspection, adjacent zone inspection or other maintenance or structural inspection tasks are
identified thus: ”No additional surveillance task”.
B. The access information for each zone is intended to serve as a guide during development of the operator’s
maintenance program. Based on the operator’s access panel configuration, experience and scheduling
requirements, the accessing requirements may be amended by the operator.
C. The need for reapplying corrosion inhibiting compound will be determined at the time of inspection and by the
criteria spelled out in manufacturers instructions.
D. All structural inspections not covered by the Structural Inspection Program (section C) are included within
this Zonal Inspection Program (section D).
To corrulate escalated calendar check intervals in section C and D, 6Y/4Y intervals apply in both sections.

5. PROGRAM RULES FOR ZONAL SAMPLING

A. Inspections are to be accomplished on each aircraft unless indicated as zonal sampling inspections by
identification No.–80.
B. For sampling inspections, the following applies:
– The zonal sampling inspection is identified only for the zones where an environmental damage
surveillance inspection requirement has established the zone interval.
– A group of operators may, after approval by their respective regulatory authorities, combine their fleets for
the purpose of accomplishing the sampling inspection requirements.
– The sample size shall be 1/5, representing the fraction of each operator, or group of operators, fleet which
must be inspected by the time specified.
– If the fraction is lower or higher than one half, refer to section C, paragraph 6, item 2 (Age Exploration
Program rules).
– All aircraft belonging to an operator, or group of operators, in an age range of 2 years when the oldest
aircraft of the operator, or group of operators, reaches the inspection time, will comprise the fleet for zonal
sampling.
– For a group of operators at least one aircraft from each operator must be selected.
– The sampling inspections shall be accomplished on different aircraft when fleet size permits.
– When sampling inspections indicate the evidence of deterioration appropriate further actions must be
taken. Such actions may consist of a one time fleet inspection, a modification, a change of sample size,
etc.
– Interval to be adjusted by individual operators in consideration of their own in–service experience and
operational environment.
– Continuation of the sampling program on aircraft not belonging to the original fleet will be dictated by the
inspection results.
6. REPORTING OF INSPECTION RESULTS

Reports of all significant findings from the zonal inspection program shall be made to the manufacturer. An
inspection summary shall be submitted regarding the –80 identified zonal sampling items (refer to section G,
appendix 4).

GLOSSARY
ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE:
Physical deterioration of an item caused by contact or impact with an object or influence which is not a
part of the aircraft, or by improper manufacturing or maintenance practices.
AGE EXPLORATION:
A systematic evaluation of an item based on analysis of collected information from in–service
experience. It assesses the item’s resistance to a deterioration process with respect to increasing age.
AIRWORTHINESS:
The condition of an item (Aircraft, aircraft system or part) in which that item operates in a safe manner to
accomplish its intended purpose.
CERTIFICATION MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS (CMR):
A recurring flight crew or groundcrew check that is required by design to help show compliance with
FAR/JAR 25.1309(b) and (d)(2) by detecting the presence of, and thereby limiting the exposure time to,
a significant latent failure that would, in combination with one or more other specific failures or events
identified in a safety analysis, result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition.
DAMAGE TOLERANT:
A qualification standard for aircraft structure. An item is judged to be damage tolerant if it can sustain
damage and the remaining structure can withstand reasonable loads without structural failure or
excessive structural deformation until the damage is detected.
DISCARD:
The removal from service of an item at a specified time limit.
DIRECT ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATING SAFETY:
1. Direct:
To be direct it must achieve its effect by itself, not in combination with other functional failures (no
redundancy exists and is a primary dispatch item).
2. Adverse Effect on Safety:
Implies that the consequences are extremely serious or possibly catastrophic and might cause the loss
of aircraft or injury to occupants.
3. Operating:
Means the time from the moment the aircraft first moves under its own power for the purpose of flight
until the moment it comes to rest at the next point of landing (FAR 1, ”Block–to–Block”).
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE/DETERIORATION:
Physical deterioration of an item’s strength or resistance to failure as a result of chemical interaction with
its climate or environment.
FAILURE:
The inability of an item to perform within previously specified limits.
FAILURE CAUSE:
Why the functional failure occurs.
FAILURE EFFECT:
What is the result of a functional failure.
SECTION G
APPENDIX 2
Page G2:1
Jan/05
FLIGHT LEADER CONCEPT:

Inspections on specific aircraft selected from those which have the highest operating age/usage in order
to identify the first evidence of deterioration in their condition caused by the fatigue damage.
FLIGHT CYCLE (= LANDING):
A completed take–off and landing sequence.
NOTE: Touch and go landings are counted as FLIGHT CYCLEs.
FUNCTION:
The normal characteristic actions of an item.
FUNCTIONAL CHECK:
A quantitative check to determine if one or more functions of an item performs within specified limits.
FUNCTIONAL FAILURE:
How an item failed to perform its function.
HIDDEN FUNCTION:
1. A function which is normally active and whose cessation will not be evident to the operating crew during
performance of normal duties.
2. A function which is normally inactive and whose readiness to perform, prior to it being needed, will not be
evident to the operating crew during performance of normal duties.
INHERENT LEVEL OF RELIABILITY AND SAFETY:
That level which is built into the unit and therefore inherent in its design. This is the highest level of
reliability and safety that can be expected from a unit; system, or aircraft if it receives effective
maintenance. To achieve higher levels of reliability, generally, requires modification or redesign.
INSPECTION (SYSTEMS & POWERPLANT):
An examination of an item against a specific standard.
INSPECTION – DETAILED (STRUCTURAL):
An intensive visual check of a specified detail, assembly, or installation. It searches for evidence of
structural irregularity using adequate lighting and, where necessary, inspection aids such as mirrors,
hand lens, etc. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures may be required.
INSPECTION – DIRECTED (STRUCTURAL):
A collective term which includes the detailed inspection and the special detailed inspection.
INSPECTION – EXTERNAL SURVEILLANCE (STRUCTURAL):
A visual check that will detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies in externally visible
structure. It may also include internal structure which is visible through quick opening access
panels/doors. Workstands, ladders, etc. may be required to gain proximity.
INSPECTION – INTERNAL SURVEILLANCE (STRUCTURAL):
A visual check that will detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies in internal structure. This
type of inspection applies to obscured structure and installations which require removal of fillets, fairings,
access panels/doors, etc.
INSPECTION – GENERAL VISUAL (ZONAL):
A visual check that will detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies in internal structure and
system/powerplant installations. This type of inspection may require removal of fillets, fairings, access
panels/doors, etc. Workstands, ladders, etc. may be required to gain proximity.
SECTION G
APPENDIX 2
Page G2:2
Jan/05
INSPECTION – GENERAL (POWERPLANT & APU):

A general visual check of a specific detail, assembly or installation that will detect obvious unsatisfactory
conditions/discrepancies in externally visible hardware/structure. It searches for evidence of irregularity
and shall be guided by the appropriate section of the approved maintenance manual. It may include
internal structure/hardware which is visible through quick opening access panels/doors. Workstands,
ladders, etc., may be required to gain proximity.
INSPECTION – GENERAL VISUAL (STRUCTURAL):
A collective term which includes the External Surveillance Inspection, the Internal Surveillance
Inspection, and the Walk–Around Check.
INSPECTION – SPECIAL DETAILED (STRUCTURAL):
An intensive check of a specific location similar to the detailed inspection except for the following
differences. The check requires some special technique such as non–destructive test techniques, dye
penetrant, high powered magnification, etc., and may require disassembly procedures.
INSPECTION – WALK AROUND CHECK:
A visual check conducted from ground level to detect obvious discrepancies.
LIFE LIMITED ITEM:
An item which must be removed from service and discarded before a specified time is achieved.
ITEM:
Any level of hardware (i.e., system, sub–system, module, accessory, component, unit, part, etc.).
LUBRICATION & SERVICING:
Any act of lubricating or servicing an item for the purpose of maintaining its inherent design operating
capabilities.
MAINTENANCE SIGNIFICANT ITEMS (MSI):
Items identified by the manufacturer whose failure:
– Could affect safety (ground or flight), and/or
– Is undetectable during operation, and/or
– Could have significant operational economic impact, and/or
– Could have significant non–operational economic impact.
MAJOR INSPECTION INTERVAL
The time between major inspections of selected components, as defined in the relevant Component
Maintenance Manual. The assembly requiring major inspection will be returned to a condition that will
permit operation for at least another full inspection interval.
MAJOR REVISIONS
Major revisions entail extensive changes to the requirements such as may be introduced by new power
plants, new versions, accumulated experience or conclusions of the fatigue test.
MINOR REVISIONS
Minor revisions are those which do not entail extensive changes and will be normally associated with
additional requirements for particular modifications, general clarification and improvement.
NON–OPERATIONAL EFFECTS:
Failure effects which do not prevent aircraft operation, but are economically undesirable due to added
labor and material cost for aircraft or shop repair.
SECTION G
APPENDIX 2
Page G2:3
Jan/05
NORMAL OPERATING CREW DUTIES:

Crew consists of qualified cockpit and cabin attendant personnel who are on duty.
Those duties which are inherent in the normal operation of the aircraft to include the following:
– Preflight check list by operating crew members;
– Monitoring of cockpit and/or cabin instrumentation, by operating crew;
– Recognition of abnormalities of failures by the operating crew through the use of normal physical
senses (i.e., odor, noise, vibration, temperature, visual observation of damage or failure, changes in
physical input force requirements, etc.).
NORMAL OPERATING CREW MONITORING:
Any monitoring of system operation accomplished by the operating crew members during their normal
duties. This includes monitoring of instrumentation of systems normally used daily and of systems
required to be checked by the crew on a daily basis.
OPERATIONAL CHECK:
A task to determine that an item is fulfilling its intended purpose. Does not require quantitative
tolerances. This is a failure finding task.
OPERATIONAL EFFECTS:
Failure effects which interfere with the completion of the aircraft mission. These failures cause delays,
cancellations, ground or flight interruptions, high drag coefficients, altitude restrictions, etc.
OTHER STRUCTURE:
Structure which is judged not to be a Structural Significant Item. ”Other Structure” is defined both
externally and internally within zonal boundaries.
POST–MOD:
= After. Used for configuration of aircraft. Simply, refer to applicability if modification has been
incorporated.
PRE–MOD:
= Before. Used for configuration of aircraft. Simply, refer to applicability if modification has not been
incorporated.
RESTORATION:
That work (on/off the aircraft) necessary to return the item to a specific standard.
SAFE LIFE STRUCTURE:
Structure which is not practical to design or qualify as damage tolerant: Its reliability is protected by
discard limits which remove items from service before failures are expected.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECK:
Any of the maintenance opportunities which are prepackaged and are accomplished on a regular basis.
STRUCTURAL ASSEMBLY:
One or more structural elements which together provide a basic structural function.
STRUCTURAL DETAIL:
The lowest functional level in an aircraft structure. A discrete region or area of a structural element, or a
boundary intersection or two or more elements.
STRUCTURAL ELEMENT:
Two or more structural details which together form an identified manufacturer’s assembly part.
