7 MANUAL SYSTEM
7.1 GENERAL
The Jet Linx Aviation manual system provides policy and procedure for operations under 14
CFR Part 135. The Jet Linx Aviation manual system is comprised of several separately tracked
and controlled volumes. The manual system provides the information required for each
department and associated personnel to conduct and fulfill their job responsibilities and
maintain regulatory compliance. Throughout the Jet Linx Aviation manual system, each
separate volume may be referred to by a specific title, e.g., General Operations Manual.
References made to the "manual" will mean all of the individual volumes collectively.
The Company, and those contracted with by the Company, shall conduct operations in
accordance with the specific authorizations, limitations and procedures in FAA issued
Operations Specifications, the Federal Aviation Regulations and the Company manual. The
manual or portions of the manual appropriate to the work being performed shall be made
available to the technician performing maintenance, preventive maintenance or alterations to
Company operated aircraft.
The manual system applies to each Company operated aircraft listed in the Operation
Specifications. Some sections within the manual apply only to aircraft, which carry 10 or more
passengers. In this case those paragraphs are noted as "applies to aircraft maintained
under a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program" .
The reader will find specific figure and chapter number references enclosed in parenthesis
throughout the manual. When the manual directs the reader to a specific reference by chapter
and verse "(Reference Chapter 5-02D)", the reader can turn to this chapter to learn more about
the subject. When the manual directs the reader to specific procedure "(Procedure Chapter 5-
02D)" the reader will need to turn to that chapter in order to find the procedures necessary to
complete the task being performed.
Forms are referenced throughout the manual for the purpose of illustration and to provide
instructions for completing the Company forms. All Company forms, which need to be
completed by field personnel, are provided in the chapter titled "Forms". Forms must be filled
out in their entirety with “N/A” being used to signify that a specific item does not apply. Each
form in the "Forms" section may be copied freely when needed to accomplish company
procedure or policy.
Maintaining current Company manuals consistent with the most recently received revisions is
the responsibility of the certificate management personnel and the person to whom the manual
is issued.
A copy of the manual or appropriate portions of the manual (and changes and additions) shall
be made available to maintenance and ground operations personnel by the Company and

Each page revised indicates the effective date of the revision and the revision number. The
effective date for normal revisions will be a maximum of 30 days after distribution by the certificate
holder to allow time for the manual holder to receive, insert, become familiar with and implement
the changes. The effective date may vary from immediately upon receipt to as much as 30 days
depending on the urgency or nature of the revision. The revision to the manual will be made as
soon as practical after receipt, but in no case later than the effective date unless the effective date
precedes receipt of the revision. In that case the revision will be made and put into effect
immediately.
The revision letter will outline initial receipt or revision incorporation instructions. The
verification letter will be completed and returned to the responsible Company manager after the
initial manual is received or when a revision is made and has been inserted in the manual by
the manual holder.
All revision acknowledgment letters must be returned within the time period specified or prior to
the Effective Date of the revision. If the letter is not returned or the letter is returned and
discovered that the revision was not made; the manual may be canceled at the discretion of the
responsible Company manager. Other restrictions may also be applied as warranted.
Each manual, except for the Aircraft Flight Log and the Aircraft Maintenance Discrepancy Log,
contains a Record of Revisions for documenting incorporated changes. The person
incorporating the revision will print their name in the appropriate revision block on the Record of
Revisions page and indicate the date the revision was inserted.
The Quality Manager or their delegate is responsible to ensure that manuals issued to locations
away from the Omaha location are updated by the owner(s) of the manual as required and that the
revision letter is received.
The General Maintenance Manuals shall be controlled by a manual distribution list. The Quality
Manager is responsible for maintaining the manual distribution list.
Revisions will be accomplished by revising an entire chapter rather than individual pages.
It is the responsibility of the person to whom the manual is issued to inform anyone who works from
the manual of the revision to the manual and the content of the revision.
All revisions or changes to the GMM will be forwarded to the FAA CHDO for acceptance or
approval prior to being distributed by the Company.
When the manufacturer's inspection manual Chapter 4 or 5 reduces an inspection interval (makes
more restrictive), a revision to the appropriate Company Approved Aircraft Inspection Program
(AAIP) or Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) manuals will be accomplished
by the Director of Maintenance or their delegate and submitted to the FAA for approval as soon as
practical after the manufacturer’s revision is received by the Company. Minor changes or those
changes that are less restrictive to a manufacturer's program shall also be incorporated at the
discretion of the Director of Maintenance or their delegate no later than one year from date of
receipt by the Company. Revisions received which are minor may be incorporated when several
minor revisions have accumulated or along with a major revision.
Each manual issued to a specific individual will indicate the individual’s name or title and the
manual number on the cover sheet.
Manuals issued to a Base Maintenance Manager will only contain the aircraft specific appendix
applicable to that make and model aircraft.
A database showing the location of all General Maintenance Manuals issued will be maintained at
the Company business office location. A list from this database is available upon request to the
Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
Any manual lost will be reported to the Company upon discovery. The responsible Company

13.2 PROCEDURES
The listing of Major Alterations and Repairs will be included in the permanent aircraft maintenance
records of each aircraft. Send or fax a copy of the listing to the Director of Maintenance or their
delegate each time it is updated along with a copy of any associated permanent aircraft logbook
entry for verification. A sample of an acceptable form can be found in the Chapter 37 of this
manual. Any listing containing the same information is acceptable.
Prior to adding an aircraft to the Jet Linx Aviation Operations Specifications, the Director of
Maintenance or his delegate reviews the permanent aircraft records. If the aircraft records
supporting the last weigh are not current or thirty-six (36) calendar months have elapsed since the
last scale weighing, the Director of Maintenance or his delegate arranges for the aircraft to be
weighed before its addition to the certificate.
The person performing the aircraft weigh does so in a closed hangar whenever possible to reduce
the possibility of scale error.
The person performing the aircraft weigh performs 3 weighs moving the scale sensor to a different
position each time to help ensure a more accurate aircraft weight. The person performing the
aircraft weigh averages the 3 scale readings to determine aircraft weight.
The person performing the aircraft weigh verifies that the scales used are within current calibration
and that the scales used are at least equal to the type specified by the aircraft manufacturer.
For aircraft that require a repair, modification, alteration or other maintenance that affects the
weight and balance and cannot be established by mathematical methods the Director of
Maintenance or their delegate arranges for the aircraft to be physically weighed as described in the
section “Weighing Procedures” above.
14.4 RECORDS
The person computing the weight and center of gravity fills out the Jet Linx Aviation Basic Aircraft
Empty Weight and Balance form or equivalent and forwards the completed original to the Director
of Maintenance or their delegate for inclusion in the aircraft permanent records.
A copy of the Jet Linx Aviation Basic Aircraft Empty Weight and Balance form is located in Chapter
37 titled ‘Forms” of this General Maintenance Manual.
The current weight and balance form that defines the aircraft configuration for a given flight
operation is located in the Aircraft Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook or other manual that
may be dedicated to weight and balance information. The Director of Maintenance or their delegate
ensures that the current weight and balance form is placed in the appropriate manual and any
previous weight and balance computation is marked as superseded and shows the date of
supersedure.

16 MATERIAL HANDLING
Applies to all aircraft on the Jet Linx Aviation 14CFR Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate
16.1 GENERAL
When aircraft parts/supplies (materials) are handled, packaged, transported or stored, the material
shall be given the same degree of care it requires during installation or use.
Use special storage and transportation equipment for its designated purpose.
If a reusable shipping container is provided for an item, the item is to remain in the container during
transportation unless special equipment has been provided for these purposes.
Material and equipment shall be protected at all times against exposure to any damaging contact
or contamination by other material.
All materials shall be stored in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations (i.e.,
magnetic sensitive equipment not stored next to transformers, etc.)
16.2 RESPONSIBILITIES
The ‘receiving inspector’ is responsible for safely storing, packaging, shipping and delivering
material that is in their custody.
The receiving inspector shall identify those incoming components that have shelf life requirements
and ensure that the oldest materials are used first and that expired materials are removed from
storage and disposed of properly.
The receiving inspector shall perform the following on all rotable and repairable parts and
components and materials received.
A visual inspection of the part or component will be made for evidence of poor workmanship or
shipping damage.
The part number and serial number will be checked against those on the purchase order,
vendor invoice, serviceable part tag and/or data plate. For each hard time rotable item also
verify that the TBO is correct and if life limited, the TSN or CSN is available.
The receiving inspector shall check that each part or component has proper certification
documents.
The receiving inspector shall perform spot checks as necessary to control expendable aircraft
material.
Received items rejected shall not be used on Jet Linx Aviation operated aircraft and will be
returned to the vendor or destroyed.
The Technician shall ascertain on life limited parts the time on the part by review of log entries,
serviceable tags or life limit cards. This time will be compared to the manufacturer’s specified life
limit to determine the remaining life of the cannibalized part. The cannibalized part must have all
serviceable parts tags transferred from the permanent records of the removal aircraft or engine to
the permanent records of the aircraft or engine that the cannibalized part is meant to be installed
on.
Entries must be made in both the donor and recipient aircraft or engine permanent records
indicating the aircraft total time when removed and installed. On life limited parts the entry must
also indicate how much time has accrued on the part at the time of installation.
16.3.2 Shelf Life (applies to all Jet Linx Aviation operated aircraft)
Shelf life is defined as the maximum time period that a material may be retained in storage at a
specified temperature. This necessitates that materials be rotated consistently (first in - first out) to
ensure that usable material is available when needed.
Shelf life items shall be identified by the manufacturer's expiration date on the item. Where only a
month and year of expiration is specified, shelf life expires at midnight on the last day of the month
specified.
It is the responsibility of the receiving inspector to ensure that parts with a shelf life limit are
removed from stock prior to expiration. Shelf life limited parts shall be reviewed quarterly. Expired
shelf life parts shall be removed from inventory and re-certified in accordance with the component
manufacturer's instructions or discarded, as appropriate.
No persons other than the crew and essential maintenance personnel may be carried on board the
aircraft until the satisfactory completion of the Maintenance Check Flight.
The Director or Maintenance or their delegate will determine if a Maintenance Check Flight is
required except that a Maintenance Check Flight will always be performed after the following
maintenance operations.
Engine change
Primary flight control surface installation or rigging, including cable changes.
Flight control system actuator change.
Major structural repair or alteration that may affect the flight characteristics of the aircraft.
The Technician will brief the Pilot in Command concerning the specific maintenance performed and
any flight check operations that may be required.
NOTE: In accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.407 an aircraft must be returned to service prior to
operation.
In accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.407, at the conclusion of the Check Flight the Pilot in
Command will make an entry in the Discrepancy Log in the corrective action column, indicating
either "Maintenance Check Flight Satisfactory" or "Maintenance Check Flight Unsatisfactory"
followed by their name, the date, their certificate number and type of certificate.
In the event the Pilot in Command finds additional discrepancies or the Maintenance Check Flight
is unsatisfactory, descriptions of those entries will be made in the discrepancy block of a new
Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log page and either corrected or deferred if allowed by the
MEL.
18 MAINTENANCE TRAINING
18.1 GENERAL
The Maintenance Training Program provides instruction in the Jet Linx Aviation General
Maintenance Manual, maintenance procedures, policies, forms, and company
maintenance/inspection programs to specific persons.
Specifics of the program are contained in Appendix A3 of this manual titled ‘Maintenance Training
Program’.
The Director of Maintenance is responsible to ensure that the aircraft that are approved for
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) operations are maintained in accordance with the
Jet Linx Aviation approved RVSM program.
Flights within certain airspace dimensions require operations in accordance with RVSM
requirements.
The only aircraft authorized to operate in these specific airspace dimensions are those
appropriately equipped, and authorized by the Company Operations Specifications.
Due to the extremely critical nature of all equipment required for this operation performing
satisfactorily, the following procedures must be adhered to at all times. This is applicable to all
flight operations 14 CFR Parts 91 and 135.
Jet Linx Aviation maintains those aircraft listed in its Operation Specifications under approved
maintenance programs. These programs contain the maintenance requirements for each aircraft
type.
All RVSM equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the approved maintenance program
(CAMP or AAIP) requirements and the performance requirements outlined in the approved data
package (RVSM Service Bulletin for the specific aircraft contained in the CAMP, STC,
Manufacturer’s instructions or AAIP).
Jet Linx Aviation will utilize appropriately rated FAA Approved facilities to perform maintenance on
RVSM systems and components. The Director of Maintenance or their delegate will qualify facilities
in accordance with Chapter 34 of this manual titled ‘Maintenance Facility Audits’. When
maintenance cannot be completed by a qualified FAA Approved facility, the aircraft must be shown
as non-RVSM capable until inspected by a qualified facility. The Director of Maintenance or their
delegate shall ensure that the requirements of the Jet Linx Aviation RVSM programs are being met
by the facility providing the services.
19.2 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions are intended to clarify certain specialized terms used in this advisory
material:
Aircraft Group. A group of aircraft that are of nominally identical design and built with respect to all
details that could influence the accuracy of height keeping performance.
Altimetry System Error (ASE). The difference between the pressure altitudes displayed to the flight
crew when referenced to ISA standard ground pressure setting (29.92 in. Hg/1013.25 hPa) and
free stream pressure altitude.
Assigned Altitude Deviation (MD). The difference between the transponded Mode C altitude and
the assigned altitude/flight level.
Automatic Altitude Control System. Any system which is designed to automatically control the
aircraft to a referenced pressure altitude.
Avionics Error (AVE). The error in the processes of converting the sensed pressure into an
electrical output, of applying any static source error correction (SSEC) as appropriate, and of
displaying the corresponding altitude.
Non-Group Aircraft. An aircraft for which the operator applies for approval on the characteristics of
the unique airframe rather than on a group basis.
Residual Static Source Error. The amount by which static source error (SSE) remains under
corrected or overcorrected after the application of SSEC.
Static Source Error. The difference between the pressure sensed by the static system at the static
port and the undisturbed ambient pressure.
Total Vertical Error (WE). Vertical geometric difference between the actual pressure altitude flown
by an aircraft and its assigned pressure altitude (flight level).
Some aircraft manufacturers have determined that the removal and replacement of components
utilizing quick disconnects and associated fittings, when properly connected, will not require a leak
check. While this approach may allow the aircraft to meet static system certification standards
when properly connected, it does not always ensure the integrity of the fittings and connectors, nor
does it confirm system integrity during component replacement and reconnections. Therefore, a
system leak shall be accomplished any time a quick disconnect static line is broken.
Airframe and static systems shall be maintained in accordance with the approved maintenance
program for the aircraft.
To ensure the proper maintenance of airframe geometry for proper surface contours and mitigation
of altimetry system error, surface measurements or skin waviness checks shall be made to ensure
adherence to the airframe manufacturers’, STC, or CAMP RVSM tolerances. These tests and
inspections shall be performed as established by appropriate RVSM STC, AAIP, CAMP or RVSM
Service Bulletin for each aircraft as contained in the maintenance program for the aircraft as listed
in the Company Operation Specifications.
The auto-pilot system maintenance and inspection program contained in the approved
maintenance program as listed in the Company Operation Specifications ensures continued
accuracy and integrity of the automatic altitude control system to meet the height-keeping
standards for RVSM operations as outlined in the applicable manufacturers, STC holders, or AAIP
data as appropriate.
The Director of Operations or their delegate will notify the FAA in writing, within 72 hours of the
error. The report will include a description of the malfunction and steps to insure the malfunction is
not repeated. The notification procedures are described in detail in the Jet Linx Aviation General
Operations Manual 1, Chapter 7, Departure and Enroute. Any trend or repetitive failure of RVSM
critical components will be reported through the Avtrak Computerized Maintenance System.
Aircraft positively identified as exhibiting height-keeping performance errors shall not be operated
in airspace where RVSM is applied until the following actions have been taken:
Any maintenance practices that may affect the continuing RVSM approval integrity, e.g., the
alignment of pitot/static probes, dents, or deformation around static plates, must be referred to the
Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
Built-in Test Equipment (BITE) testing is not an acceptable basis for system calibrations, (unless it
is shown to be acceptable by the airframe manufacturer with the Federal Aviation Administration’s
approval) and must only be used for fault isolation and troubleshooting purposes.
The operator should make an effective, timely response to each height-keeping error. The FAA
may consider removing RVSM operational approval if the operator response to a height-keeping
error is not effective or timely. The FAA should also consider the operators’ past performance
record in determining the action to be taken. If an operator shows a history of operational and/or
airworthiness errors, then approval may be removed until the root causes of these errors are
shown eliminated and RVSM programs and procedures are shown to be effective. The FAA will
review each situation on a case-by-case basis.
20 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
20.1 GENERAL
14 CFR Part 135.179 requires all aircraft systems, associated components, and installed
equipment to be operative for all aircraft operations. Aircraft may not be dispatched for flight or
continue a trip (once landed) with certain systems and components inoperative unless allowed by
the company FAA approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL) or Non-essential Equipment and
Furnishings List (NEF). The aircraft shall be operated in accordance with the procedures and
limitations prescribed by the MEL or NEF.
Components and systems which do not affect the airworthiness of the aircraft, i.e., passenger and
operator convenience items such as galley equipment, entertainment systems, cabin trim,
recognition lights, logo lights, and flight phones are addressed within the Non-essential Equipment
and Furnishings(NEF) list. See Chapter 24 of this manual for an explanation of the NEF.
When a component or system is not listed in a Minimum Equipment List and does not appear on or
cannot be added to the Non-essential Equipment and Furnishings list, it is required to be operative.
The MEL and NEF are not authorizations to conduct operations with removed equipment or
approval for removal of equipment from the aircraft. All equipment removed from the aircraft must
be done so in accordance with accepted data. To facilitate equipment repair, inoperative items may
be removed provided the removal does not affect any other system onboard the aircraft. An entry
in the aircrafts permanent records must be made stating that the equipment is removed in
accordance with accepted data, a functional check has been made and no other systems are
affected by the removal, and adjustment to the aircraft weight and balance has been made.
Questions regarding the interpretation of the Minimum Equipment List or the NEF or the
applicability of a component or system not listed should be directed to the Director of Maintenance
or their delegate if the question is of a maintenance related nature.
If the question is of an operational nature, the Director of Operations or their delegate should be
contacted.
No aircraft model or type is authorized to use a Minimum Equipment List unless it is listed in the
Company Operations Specifications, Paragraph D095 or has a Letter of Authorization for flights
conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.
The NEF listing is company specific and can be applied to all Jet Linx Aviation operated aircraft.
A copy of the manual will be accessible to flight crews during all flight operations.
The original of each manual will be located with the Company Director of Operations or their
delegate.
Any facility/technician contracted to perform maintenance shall coordinate parts ordering with the
Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
When all parts for the completion of the maintenance are received or other factors are resolved,
the Technician performing the work will coordinate with the Director of Maintenance or their
delegate.
All corrective action entries will be made in accordance with the procedures given in Chapters 21,
22, and 23 of this manual.
Repairs must be accomplished in the time frame specified by the repair interval designator
indicated in Column 1 of the Minimum Equipment List. Any extension to the MEL may only be
granted by the Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate is responsible for issuing extensions to maintenance
deferrals if necessary.
Systems or components marked with an (0) involve Operations procedures, which must be
accomplished in planning for and/or operating with the item inoperative. (0) items, or those items
not marked, may be approved for continued operations by the Pilot in Command or a Technician, if
appropriate, after consulting with the Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
Systems or components marked with a (M) indicate requirements for a specific maintenance
procedure accomplished by persons deemed qualified by the Director of Maintenance or their
delegate. Only a person(s) deemed qualified by the Director of Maintenance or their delegate may
approve the aircraft for return to service with the appropriate entries in the aircraft records.
If necessary a locally available Technician will be consulted to comply with (M) procedures
associated with the deferral.
The Pilot in Command, Base Maintenance Manager and/or the employed Technician will comply
with the prescribed (M) and (0) procedures in the Minimum Equipment List Manual, if required, for
the inoperative system or component.
The Pilot in Command will adhere to the appropriate procedures to generate and complete the
Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log in Chapter 37 (Forms) of this GMM.
Deferral entries for (O) items and for those items not labeled with an (O) or an (M) will be entered
in the MEL portion of the Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log. EACH entry will include:
The statement “Operations continued per MEL xx-x-x”, e.g., MEL 23-1-A (indicate the Aircraft
Transport Association (ATA) # and all sequence numbers and letters).
The legible signature of the Technician or pilot approving the deferral.
The certificate numbers of the Technician or pilot approving the deferral.
The type of certificate held by the Technician or pilot approving the deferral.
The date the discrepancy was deferred.
Indicate current status of the aircraft in the status column considering this and other
discrepancies that may be outstanding.
Example: “Operations continued per MEL 25-11-A”
Deferral entries for (M) items will be entered in the corrective action block of the Aircraft
Maintenance and Discrepancy Log. Each entry will include:
A brief narrative of the corrective action performed followed by the statement “Operations
continued per MEL 24-12-A (indicate the ATA # and all sequence numbers and letters.
The legible signature of the Technician approving the deferral.
The certificate number of the Technician approving the deferral.
The type of certificate held by the Technician approving the deferral.
The date the discrepancy was deferred.
Category A - Items in this category shall be repaired within the time interval specified in the
remarks column of the Minimum Equipment List. The allowed operation interval excludes the day
of discovery. No time extensions are permitted for Category A items.
Category B - Items in this category shall be repaired three (3) consecutive calendar days (72
hours), excluding the day of discovery. For example, if the discrepancy was recorded at 11 a.m. on
the 26th of January, the three-day interval would begin at midnight the 26th and end at midnight
the 29th. Category B items may be extended one time for an additional three (3) consecutive
calendar days (72 hours). Extensions beyond the original three-day deferral and one company
granted three-day extension would require submission to and approval by the FAA CHDO in
writing.
Category C - Items in this category shall be repaired with ten (10) consecutive calendar days (240
hours), excluding the day of discovery. For example, if the discrepancy was recorded at 11 a.m. on
the 10th of January, the ten-day interval would begin after midnight the 10th and end at midnight
the 20th. Category C items may be extended one time up to 10 consecutive calendar days (240
hours). Extensions beyond the original ten-day deferral and one company granted ten-day
extension would require submission to and approval by the FAA CHDO in writing.
Category D - Items in this category shall be repaired within 120 consecutive calendar days,
excluding the day the malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance records. No time
extensions are permitted for Category D items.
A configuration deviation list is developed by the aircraft manufacturer and made part of the
Approved Flight Manual (AFM) for reference by the flight crew.
The CDL procedures are the same as a MEL. A notation on the Aircraft Maintenance and
Discrepancy Log form shall be made covering the missing parts(s) for each flight.
All notations, limitations and restrictions listed by CDL must be adhered to.
The FAA has a notification program that once one of our listed aircraft is in the system we are
notified if there are revisions. We do not need to change our MEL if the revision is only a small
lettered change, say from Revision 6 to 6a, unless the change in the Revision 6a applies to our
specific aircraft.
The top of the MEL should list the specific aircraft by model.
When approved by the FAA, the Director of Operations or their delegate keeps the approved copy
under their control and ensures that each aircraft has an updated copy of the MEL.
In the absence of access to the Avtrak Computerized Maintenance Tracking System the Director of
Maintenance or their delegate will maintain a Deferred Maintenance Item Master List, Form 80-
577, for each aircraft. A copy of this form is located in the Chapter 37 (Forms) of this manual
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate will be responsible for MEL tracking, plan for repairs,
reviewing deferred items, and approving MEL extensions.
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate is authorized to approve extensions to the maximum
repair interval for category B and C items as specified in the approved MEL. When authorizing an
extension to an existing deferred item, the Director of Maintenance or their delegate will determine
whether the extension will affect the airworthiness of the aircraft.
The deferred item will then be extended in the Avtrak Computerized Maintenance Tracking
System, and the Deferred Maintenance Item Master List ensuring the specified interval is not
exceeded for that particular item.
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate will also reformulate the original plan for repairs.
When authorized to extend a time limit, the Director of Maintenance or their delegate will notify the
Certificate Holding District Office (FAA FSDO) in writing, within 24 hours, of any extension
approval.
All MEL deferrals, whether short-term or subject to extended deferral, are tracked Avtrak
Computerized Maintenance Tracking System according to the date of original deferral.
Note: A deferral not covered by our Company Operations Specifications may be granted by written
request to the FAA.
22 MAINTENANCE RECORDS
22.1 GENERAL
The 14 CFR Part(s) 135.65 and 135.71 require that procedures be established for:
Reporting and recording mechanical irregularities (discrepancies) that come to the attention of
the Pilot in Command before, during and after completion of the flight.
Determining that mechanical irregularities or defects reported for previous flights have been
corrected or deferred per an approved Minimum Equipment List, Configuration Deviation List or
Non-essential Equipment and Furnishings List.
Ensuring that the Pilot in Command knows that required airworthiness inspections have been
made and that the aircraft has been approved for return to service in compliance with
applicable maintenance requirements.
The total time in service of the airframe, engine and propeller and appliance.
The current status of life-limited parts of each airframe, engine, propeller and appliance.
The time since overhaul of each item installed on the aircraft required to be overhauled on a
specified time basis.
The identification of the current inspection status of the aircraft, including the time since the last
inspections required by the inspection program under which the aircraft and its appliances are
maintained.
The current status of each airworthiness directive, including the date completed, the methods
of compliance, and if the airworthiness directive involves recurrent action, the time and date
when the next action is required, the AD number and revision date.
A list of current major alterations and repairs to each airframe, engine, propeller and appliance.
For the purposes of the Company, ‘permanent aircraft records’ are those various types of airframe,
engine, propeller, appliance and component records in use when the aircraft is added to Company
Operations Specifications and those additional records that may be used to record maintenance as
required by company procedures during the time the aircraft operates on the Jet Linx Aviation
certificate.
Regarding the administration and keeping of records, 14 CFR Part 43.9(b) requires that the
Company:
Will record, or have recorded, the accomplishment of inspection, overhaul, repair, preventive
maintenance, preservation and the replacement of parts, (collectively referred to throughout
this manual as “maintenance” performed on Company aircraft. These records will become part
of the permanent aircraft records and may only be disposed of as provided in the Federal
Aviation Regulations and,
Except for the records of the last complete overhaul of each aircraft, including airframes,
aircraft engines, propellers, appliances and parts, the permanent aircraft records shall be
retained with the aircraft until the work is repeated, superseded by an equivalent scope or for
one year after the work is performed.
The records shall be retained and transferred with the aircraft at the time the aircraft leaves the
certificate or is sold.
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate will file, by registration number, a copy of each
Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log used by Company aircraft for the previous 2-years as
long as the aircraft remains on Operations Specifications.
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate will ensure that incoming completed Aircraft
Maintenance and Discrepancy Logs are reviewed upon receipt.
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate will further ensure that maintenance actions have
been completed in accordance with this manual. Where entries are found to be in error or
completed forms are delinquent, the Director of Maintenance or their delegate will inform the
Director of Operations or their delegate, through written notice, of the omission. Permanent
corrections will be made to the form and a copy faxed or mailed to the Director of Maintenance
or their delegate within ten days of notification that a correction is required.
Only the Director of Maintenance or their delegate may approve extenuating circumstances
resulting in an extension of the procedure.
A copy of each Aircraft Maintenance Report Form or equivalent report will be maintained as part of
the aircraft permanent records by registration number, in the Director of Maintenance’s office as
long as the aircraft remains on Operations Specifications.
No changes, additions or corrections will be made to the system unless approved by the Director of
Maintenance or their delegate.
The Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log is used for recording the following maintenance
actions:
Mechanical discrepancies observed by the flight crew during pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight
operations and the subsequent corrective action taken and return to service by a technician.
Mechanical discrepancies, corrective action taken and return to service on items observed by
Technicians during preflight or post flight except during scheduled maintenance.
Scheduled maintenance will not be recorded in the Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log
unless approved by the Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
The Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log currently in use will be carried onboard the aircraft
and be readily accessible to the crew during all flight operations.
Any entry that is not deferrable per the Minimum Equipment List, the Non – Essential
Equipment and Furnishings list or is not determined to be advisory in nature as listed in this
chapter, makes the aircraft unairworthy and the aircraft may not continue until repaired and
approved for return to service by maintenance.
All non-deferred corrective action entries will be recorded on the same log page as its
corresponding discrepancy. If circumstances make this impossible, the corrective action entry may
be made on a subsequent log page. However, a reference statement must be entered on both the
original log page (correct action block) and the subsequent log page (discrepancy block) indicating
to the reader where to find the appropriate entry e.g. ‘Reference Aircraft Maintenance and
Discrepancy Log #XXXX for corrective action’. Or ‘See Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log
# XXXXX for discrepancy’.
Only one discrepancy may be entered on the maintenance discrepancy form. If more
than one discrepancy exists, additional forms must be used for recording discrepancies
and the leg which each discrepancy occurred entered in the provided section.
Deferred Entries
The balancing entry for a deferred discrepancy item is a reference to the appropriate section in
the Minimum Equipment List.
If the subsequent corrective maintenance action for a deferred discrepancy is recorded on a
later log page, then the original Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log number must be
referenced. Additional forms used for recording the continuation of a corrective maintenance
action should not be used to record new discrepancies.
Maintenance Discrepancy Entry Error
In the event a maintenance discrepancy entry error is made, the entry or mistake must not be
erased or obliterated. Corrections should be made to the original and yellow copies of the
Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log. If a log page is not used for whatever reason,
ensure blocks 1 through 15 are completed and write ‘void’ across the face of the log page.
Send a copy to the Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
If a discrepancy entered is a simple mistake contrary to the procedures of this manual, the
entry needs only to be voided with a single line with the initials of the person voiding the entry,
followed by the correct entry.
The white original Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log shall be retained on board the
aircraft until completed. Once completed it shall be retained as a permanent aircraft record.
Upon notification of a required correction, the white original copy of the Aircraft Maintenance and
Discrepancy Log to be corrected shall be placed over its respective pink and yellow copies in the
Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log book, and the correction shall be made to both copies
at one time. The person making the corrections shall initial the correction.
The corrected white copy will then be re-used to transmit the correction(s) to the Director of
Maintenance or their delegate.
The Pilot in command and the Base Chief Pilot are responsible for providing all information
necessary to, update aircraft records, update pilot records and for transmitting completed log
pages to the company.
The Base Chief Pilot is responsible for all aircraft assigned to them and will ensure:
A copy of each Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log is sent to the Director of
Maintenance or their delegate upon completion of the scheduled flight.
A copy of each Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log is sent to the Director of
Maintenance or their delegate prior to continued operations. It is recommended that the Aircraft
Maintenance and Discrepancy Log be sent as soon as practical to prevent delays in releasing
the aircraft if corrections are required.
The original white copy is filled out properly and if not, reflects all changes and/or corrections
requested or required.
The aircraft may not continue operations unless items listed above are accomplished. If
extenuating circumstances are such that the completed paperwork cannot be transmitted to the
Director of Maintenance or their delegate, the Director of Maintenance or their delegate can grant a
continuation of the trip. Through examination of documents or conversation with the Pilot in
Command, all parties should be collectively satisfied that any maintenance has been accomplished
and properly documented and the aircraft is airworthy before any further movement of the aircraft.
At the end of the next flight leg or as instructed, the Pilot in Command will provide the completed
log page to the Director of Maintenance or their delegate.
Each Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log page is a three part uniquely numbered form that
runs in sequence for control purposes. Each form consists of a white original, a pink copy, and a
yellow copy. The original when complete is to be filed with the aircraft permanent records. The
completed pink copy remains on board the aircraft for 30 days. The yellow copy is provided to aid
in required company notifications and may also be provided to maintenance organizations outside
the company for their records.
The Yellow Copy may be disposed of after use. It is recommended on deferred maintenance
entries that the copy used to notify company maintenance be retained for use in requesting
deferral extensions if required for that specific entry.
Once a discrepancy is completed only the Pink Copy will remain on board the aircraft. It is
understood that in some instances the originals may remain on board the aircraft for short periods
of time when away from it base of operations. The originals should be removed from the aircraft at
the earliest convenience and placed in the aircraft permanent records.
A balancing corrective action entry is required for each discrepancy entry. Information will be
entered in the Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log as follows.
The number in the left column corresponds with the number in the
sample… Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log Page
1. Date of discrepancy.

shall not be used.
The component teardown report, equivalent form or work order will contain the following at a
minimum:
35.1 GENERAL
Certain maintenance and alteration items shall be inspected prior to return to service. These items
are referred to as Required Inspection Items. The Quality Manager along with the Director of
Maintenance establishes the list of designated items and develops the procedures and policies for
their control. No deviations are allowed without the concurrence of the Quality Manager and the
Director of Maintenance or their delegate(s).
A Required Inspection Item (Rll) is an item of maintenance or alteration whose failure, malfunction,
or defect could endanger the safe operation of the aircraft if maintenance was performed
improperly or if improper parts or materials were used.
It is imperative to remember that aircraft maintenance and aircraft inspection are separate
functions and cannot be accomplished by the same individuals within a maintenance facility.
The Directory of Maintenance along with the Quality Manager will act as RII trainers. The Directory
of Maintenance and the Quality Manager are considered qualified as trainers due to the knowledge
requirements for their positions.
35.2 POLICY
Required Inspections shall be accomplished per the Required Inspection Items list located in this
chapter for all scheduled and unscheduled work.
The responsibility for identifying the need for a Required Inspection lies with the facility responsible
for performing the scheduled or unscheduled maintenance on company aircraft. The company will
verify that the facilities follow company policy.
Only personnel authorized by the Quality Manager or the Director of Maintenance may perform the
duties of Rll on behalf of the company. Prior to being authorized as an RII inspector, an individual
will receive training on Jet Linx Aviation’s policies and procedures regarding RII items. This training
will be given on a recurrent 24 month basis. Records of this training will be kept as part of the
inspectors file in the Quality Managers office.
No person may perform a required item inspection if that person also performed the work.
The Quality Manager or their delegate may countermand the decision of any company authorized
Rll Inspector.
Inspectors authorized by the company are responsible only to the Quality Manager or their
delegate when performing inspection duties on Company aircraft.
Any dispute between the Technician approving the work and the Inspector will be resolved in
person, by phone or by examination of the inspection forms in question by the Quality Manager
or their delegate. Any of the parties named above may initiate the contact.
The Quality Manager or their delegate will determine the final course of action and provide
written direction to the Rll Inspector.
All correspondence will be made part of the Inspectors files at company headquarters.
In the event of any change that affects the Rll Program, the Quality Manager or their delegate
will notify each Rll Inspector of the change. This notification will be signed and returned by the
Rll indicating understanding of the notification.
When any listed component is removed or displaced to gain access to other components and
its reinstallation is a Required Inspection Item.
When any unscheduled discrepancy is written as a result of an inspection and the discrepancy
involves parts or systems listed as requiring a Required Inspection.
Installation inspection is defined as an inspection of the final installation, operation, and rig or leak
check, as required by the maintenance manual.

Inspector will make a copy of the letter to be placed in the personnel file of the Inspector at their
place of employment. The authorization letter shall remain in effect until either suspended,
superseded, surrendered or revoked.
The Inspector shall keep the original letter on hand and have the letter available for inspection
whenever exercising Required Inspection Item authority on company aircraft.
The Inspector will notify the company, preferably in writing, of any change of employment status.
When exercising the privileges of a RII Inspector, the inspector is responsible to complete the
inspection in accordance with the Jet Linx Aviation Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance
Program, Jet Linx Aviation General Maintenance Manual and the Federal Aviation Regulations.
After the inspection he will sign the appropriate airworthiness release for return to service.

Each of the previous documents will remain on file until superseded by a subsequent document or
rescinded by letter from the Quality Manager or their delegate.
The Quality Manager or their delegate will maintain a database of those persons authorized to
inspect Required Inspection Items. The database will track:
Name
Location
A & P number
Aircraft approved
Systems authorized
Date Authorized
The following experience is the minimum experience and/or school combinations in order to be an
authorized RII inspector for the company. Once the Quality Manager or their delegate has
determined the individuals’ qualifications, he may issue an RII authorization letter as referenced in
this chapter.
24 months hands on experience with aircraft type family. Example, 14 CFR Part 145 Repair
Station, corporate maintenance facility or a single FAA certified mechanic with documented
proof of experience of the aircraft model. The Quality Manager and/or the Director of
Maintenance will make the determination of qualifications on an individual basis.
RII qualifications at a previous employer may be considered.
Each RII candidate may also qualify by attending an FAA approved initial training program on
the specific aircraft, i.e. SimuFlite, FlightSafety, Factory or Factory authorized training, plus 12
month hands on experience with aircraft type family. School and experience must be within the
last 36 months.
The inspector inspects to verify the work has been performed in accordance with the approved or
accepted data and industry standards as applicable and is in an airworthy condition.
If the work is being accomplished by a certificated 14CFR part 145 repair station having its own
work order system in place, the Inspector will signify by signature (or stamp if on file) on the work
order that the RII has been accomplished and the work found acceptable.
The discrepancy and aircraft information is entered in the Aircraft Maintenance and
Discrepancy Log.
The mechanic completing the repair enters the corrective action and notes the requirement of
an RII.
The inspector inspects the work and if accepted enters his signature (or stamp if on file) and
certificate number in block 40 of the form.
Block by block instructions for filing out the remainder of the form as well as its disposition are
found in chapter 23 of this manual titled ‘Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Log’.
The RII log form located in chapter 37 may be used for logging multiple Required Inspection
Items during major inspections.
The Director of Maintenance or their delegate reviews the maintenance records to insure that the
designated Inspector has accepted all Required Inspection Items.
When the discrepancy has been satisfactorily corrected an Inspector shall sign the original
corrective action and complete and approve the corrective action to his own discrepancy.
The same Inspector will perform the "buy back" inspection, if practicable. In no case will the person
performing the work perform the RIl inspection even if they are a Jet Linx Aviation appointed RIl.
If a technician is not locally available that can be designated as a Required Inspection Item
Inspector, other arrangements will be coordinated by the Pilot in command or Base Maintenance
Manager and the Director of Maintenance or their delegate and the Quality Manager or their
delegate.
36.2 PROCEDURE

APPENDIX A
TABLE OF CONTENTS Page
A1.2 PROCEDURE
The Director of Maintenance administers the Calibrated Tool Program. However each Technician is
responsible to ensure that any calibrated tool or precision equipment is within the calibration period.
Tooling and equipment calibration shall be checked for accuracy on a regular basis. This includes
“employee owned” tools and equipment. If an employee chooses not to place their tools and
equipment on the Company Calibrated Tool Program, they must remove the tools or equipment from
the facility.
Except when specified by the manufacturer, calibration periods shall be due at the end of the
calendar month (i.e. an item calibrated on July 6th 2007 will be due anytime during July 2008).
Calibration records will be kept in the Director of Maintenances’ office. Tracking may be done
manually, or by computer. On a monthly basis, the Director of Maintenance or his designee shall
review calibration records and notify the tooling owner that the item is due for calibration.
Unusual circumstances such as dropping a tool may cause a tool to require a calibration check prior
to its due date.
If calibration cannot be accomplished when required, that tooling/equipment shall not be used until
such a time it has its calibration checked.
The following is an example of the information required to be affixed to the calibrated equipment.
Any other locally produced tag may be used provided it contains at least the same information.
Tool Calibration
By_______________ Date____________
Date Due______________
The number in the left column corresponds with the numbers in the sample form. Other forms
indicating at least the same information are acceptable. The information on the list is as follows.
Upon removal of a tool from a toolbox or tool storage area for the purpose of performing maintenance
on an aircraft, the technician will “X” out a number on the number grid for each tool removed using
an erasable marker or grease pencil. Upon completion of aircraft maintenance as the tools are
returned to their storage place, the corresponding number of “X”s will be erased from the grid.
For example, if three tools are removed from a toolbox, three number boxes on the grid will be
marked with an “X”. As each tool is returned, an “X” will be erased.
If upon completion of maintenance on an aircraft it is discovered that any “X”s still remain on the grid,
maintenance control is to be notified immediately and the aircraft may not be approved for return to
service until the tool has been located and returned to its proper storage area.
Primary Maintenance Facilities: Could include any of the types of facilities above designated by
the company to perform maintenance on company aircraft and listed on the companies approved
maintenance facility list.
Secondary Maintenance Facilities: Secondary facilities are those facilities approved for one-time
maintenance on an as needed basis or any support facility used as an extension of a primary
maintenance base. Such maintenance may include unscheduled maintenance away from home
base or sub-contracted modifications or alterations to the aircraft.
Facilities will meet basic requirements by:
Performing the intended maintenance per the Jet Linx maintenance program and manuals
Having the aircraft adequately housed to protect the work from being exposed to the elements.
Having necessary equipment available necessary to perform the work.
Having required technical data available to include Jet Linx company manuals.
Operating on a Federal Aviation Administration approved Anti-Drug/Alcohol Program.
Individuals or companies conducting audits on behalf of the company will be authorized by the
Quality Manager.
Usage of suppliers other than aircraft and appliance manufacturers must be approved by the Jet Linx
Quality Manger through the use of the Supplier Evaluation Questionnaire. A copy of the
questionnaire form is located in Chapter 37 of the Jet Linx GMM. 14 CFR Part 145 repair stations
that have been approved by the Jet Linx Quality Manager under the Maintenance Facility Audit
Program are automatically approved as a supplier and need not complete the Supplier Evaluation
Questionnaire
In order to obtain approval of a supplier, a copy of the Supplier Evaluation Questionnaire form is to
be provided to the supplier for completion. Upon completion of the form, the supplier is to forward
the form to the Jet Linx Quality Manager. Upon review and acceptance, the Quality Manager will
add the supplier to the approved vendors list contained in the Avtrak maintenance tracking system.
Maintenance facilities for company aircraft will operate under an approved drug and alcohol-testing
program and meet the requirements listed in (Basic Requirements) above. The pilot in command
may determine that a facility meets the company requirements by reviewing the items in (Facility
Criteria) at the facility. If there is any question then the Director of Maintenance or their delegate
should be contacted.
Regardless of what day an audit occurs during the month, it is valid to the last day of that month.
The Quality Manager may extend the due date of an audit for a maximum of one additional calendar
month.
Facility Audit Report and Audit Discrepancy Report (even if discrepancies were not outstanding
at the last audit).
Copy of Air Agency Certificate and Operations Specifications if the facility is a 14 CFR Part 145
Repair Station or in the case of a 14 CFR Part 65 certified technician, a copy of the technician’s
certificate and training certificates. These documents may be kept under separate cover in the
Director of Maintenance office.
Each of the above documents will remain on file until superseded by a subsequent document or
rescinded by the Quality Manager.
An auditor should have experience in the area to be audited and/or experience in the
maintenance/quality assurance/quality control fields. However anyone that the company deems able
to conduct an audit on their behalf can be authorized.
An auditor will be completely independent and objective. Wherever possible an auditor should not
have a professional or personal relationship with the management of the audited facility.
An auditor must be thoroughly familiar with the standard used to audit. Audit criteria are only
guidelines and auditors should understand the subjects well enough so as not to be misled by the
vendor and to be able to teach/expand on significant areas. Auditors should also have a good
understanding of applicable Federal Regulations. Auditors should have:
Good communication skills, choice of words, clarity of thought, listening, understanding,
response and writing skills.
The ability to plan, organize, observe and analyze
Leadership skills that supervise, delegate, gain cooperation and direct vendor to objectives
Decision making ability; separate facts from opinion; compile information and evidence and
compare with the standard
Ability to work independently, systematically and energetically
Good outward appearance and conduct (dress for the audit, and consult with the vendor)
Intelligent, alert, comprehending and reasoning
Emotionally stable, calm, self-confident, persistent, insistent and task-oriented
Honest, reliable, constructive, helpful and diplomatic
Good attitude, value, interest, good work habits; initiative, careful, curious and open minded
Remember you represent Jet Linx Aviation
A2.9.2 CHECKLIST
Follow checklist order or an order that makes sense to answer all the checklist items; i.e.
production example: begin in receiving and proceed through production, then ending with
shipping.
Follow the checklist order or an order that makes sense to answer the entire checklist items; i.e.
production, sequence or back-track.
Avoid becoming predictable, change techniques as necessary.
Answer all the checklist items even if the answer is ‘not performed’.
It is advised to reference the discrepancy noted. Utilize your standard, CFR’s, CAR’s, and industry
standards.
The vendor must report back regarding corrective action, planned action to ensure the item remains
corrected, notation of the root cause of the problem and plans for preventive recurrence. This must
also be accomplished in a timely manner. If circumstances dictate, the vendor must inform you of
necessary extensions. You are the approver and may grant extensions within reason.
When you are confident that the actions needed to correct discrepancies have been implemented
and are effective, close-out the audit and update the audit records.

Jet Linx Aviation is responsible for ensuring each person performing maintenance (including
inspection), preventive maintenance, and alteration is capable of performing the assigned tasks. This
plan identifies the procedures used to identify an employee’s training needs in a systematic manner,
develop training and/or identify appropriate existing training, select the training methods, provide
training, and record the training accomplished.
Throughout this program, Jet Linx Aviation may be referred to as the ‘Company’.
Jet Linx Aviation’s’ training program consists of the following basic components:
Assessment of training needs, to identify the organizations overall training needs and the
individual employee’s training needs.
Course definition to define specific courses of study and individual courses.
Identification of training sources and methods to identify options and select how Jet Linx Aviation
will provide the training.
Documentation of training to ensure all employees’ training is documented, and records are
retained.
A3.1 BACKGROUND
Jet Linx Aviation has established a training program that includes indoctrination, recurrent,
specialized and remedial training for employees performing maintenance (including inspection),
preventive maintenance, and alteration tasks.
The procedures in this program enable Jet Linx Aviation to ensure its training policy meets Jet Linx
Aviation’s needs, and are consistent with all regulatory requirements.
All information pertaining to the current training records is available for review by request at Jet Linx
Aviation’s Omaha, NE facilities during normal business hours. Employees may review their own
records at the same location and hours as above.
This general needs assessment will result in a description of the knowledge and skill an employee
must have to properly perform the tasks associated with the work assignment.
The results are recorded in a brief summary report establishing the type and level of training required
for an indoctrination to company procedures. New maintenance department employees will have
their training records reviewed and aircraft type-specific training will be scheduled as necessary for
that employee based on that person’s training and hands-on experience. Recurrent training on the
same aircraft type or related systems such as power plant, avionics etc. is to be accomplished at
intervals not to exceed 24 calendar months. These basic training goals are documented in the
training program files, but do not require FAA approval.
Jet Linx Aviation reviews overall training requirements and the requirements of specific individuals
in relation to specific tasks to be performed. Jet Linx Aviation will provide training to employees:
The Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer or their delegate will outline training
requirements for the company and for the individual, based on the results of a training needs
assessment. GMM Chapter 37 contains a training needs assessment checklist to assist with
determining the best training course for the technician to attend.
The Executive Vice-President/Chief Operating Officer may delegate this responsibility in part or in
its entirety, however such delegation does not relieve them of overall responsibility.
The company will ensure training records are generated and maintained for all Jet Linx Aviation
employees that establish each individual is capable of performing the maintenance (including
inspection), preventive maintenance and alteration tasks assigned. The records should include FAA
certifications, other applicable certifications and degrees, Jet Linx Aviation qualifications and
authorizations, and for each course completed, the total time credited; the date, the instructor, the
locations and the results of any associated examination.
A copy of the employee training record form is located in the chapter 37 of this manual titled ‘Forms’.
The following represents instructions for its completion. The numbers correspond to numbered
blocks on the form example.
1. Enter employee name.
2. Enter position of employee – i.e. mechanic, apprentice etc.
3. Enter completion date of training.
4. Enter a brief course description- i.e. BeechJet Initial.
5. Enter duration of training in hours or days.
6. Enter type- i.e. OJT, Classroom etc.
7. Enter instructor- may be company in cases such as FlightSafety training.
All documents showing proof of any of the aforementioned training are retained for as long as the
individual is a Jet Linx Aviation employee and for a minimum of two (2) years thereafter.
The majority of the training provided by the company will utilize on-the-job (OJT) methodology.
When a particular training need is identified, the Director of Maintenance and Executive Vice
President or their delegates will decide which method will be used to best provide the training.
This training may be recurrent to a subject the technician has previously attended or an initial type
training course on a different subject matter. This should be determined during the annual needs
assessment.
When an RII item is identified during maintenance performed from an outsource provider, Jet Linx
will provide training to the selected RII inspector with respect to the manual requirements of an RII
inspector. This procedure is outlined in Chapter 35 of this manual.

9. Definitions
Captain: The captain is the pilot-in-command. He may delegate his duties to any qualified First
Officer, but he retains overall responsibility.
Check: Examinations in the form of comparisons with stated standards for the purpose of verifying
condition, accuracy and/or tolerances.
Visual Check: (VC) A visual check is an observation to determine that an item is fulfilling its intended
purpose. It does not require quantitative tolerances. This is a failure finding task
Operational check: (OC) An operational check is a task to determine that an item is fulfilling its
intended purpose. It does not require quantitative tolerances. This is a failure finding task.
Functional check: (FC) A quantitative check to determine if one or more functions of an item check
performs within specified limits.
Technician: May be a Mechanic who holds an airframe and powerplant rating or a repairman at a
certificated repair station and has received prior training or having prior experience on the use of the
type test equipment used for the task performed.
Manufacturer’s manuals and specifications will be used while performing these visual and functional
checks. In accordance with 14 CFR 91.411/91.413, Part 43 Appendix E & F, shall be accomplished
at the time intervals as required by the FAR’s.
The intent of this visual and functional test is to test the aircraft’s complete system to insure that the
system is functioning properly in all aspects in conformance with minimum acceptable operational
specifications. The VOR systems will be calibration checked every twelve (12) months in accordance
with paragraph 11 of the avionics inspection program.
All discrepancies noted shall be corrected or deferred in accordance with the approved MEL before
the aircraft is returned to service.
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 91.171) provides for certain VOR equipment accuracy
prior to flight under instrument flight rules. To comply with this requirement the FAA has provided
pilots and technicians with the following means of checking VOR receiver accuracy.
To use the VOT service, tune in to the VOT frequency on your VOR receiver. With the Course
Deviation Indicator (CDI) centered, the omni-bearing selector should read zero (0) degrees with the
to/from indication showing “from” or the omni-bearing selector should read 180 degrees with the
to/from indication showing “to”. If the VOR receiver operates an RMI (Radio Magnetic Indicator), it
will indicate 180 degrees on any omni-bearing selector (OBS) setting.
Calibration of the aircraft VOR receivers by an authorized repair facility is required to re-calibrate the
receiver to the manufacturer’s specifications every twelve (12) months. An appropriately rated and
certified repair station only may perform this check. If a receiver’s Automatic Gain Control or
modulation circuit deteriorates, it is possible for it to display acceptable accuracy and sensitivity close
to the VOR or VOT and display out of tolerance readings when located at greater distances where
weaker signal areas exist. The likelihood of this deterioration varies between receivers, and is
generally considered a function of time.
A radiated VOR test signal from an appropriately rated radio repair station serves the same purpose
as an FAA VOR signal and the check is made in much the same manner as a VOT with the following
differences:
Any time any component of the altimeter or transponder system has been removed, replaced or
repaired, a correlation check will be performed in accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.411/91.413, Part
43 Appendix E & F, and certification completed.
NOTE: Some aircraft manufacturers have determined that the removal and replacement of
components utilizing quick disconnects and associated fittings, when properly connected, will not
require a leak check. While this approach may allow the aircraft to meet static system certification
standards when properly connected, it does not always ensure the integrity of the fittings and
connectors, nor does it confirm system integrity during component replacement and reconnections.
Therefore, a system leak shall be accomplished any time a quick disconnect static line is broken.
Anytime the pitot/static system is blocked to facilitate testing, an entry shall be made in the repair
station work order or Jet Linx Aviation discrepancy form indicating the condition. The entry will be
cleared after the work is completed to insure that tape, moisture resistant paper, covers and
caps/plugs installed for the test are removed from the sensory areas.
Section One of this inspection program requires the VOR system to be calibrated in accordance
with manufacturer’s tolerances. The VOR system calibration will be checked every twelve (12)
months by a qualified technician at an appropriately rated repair station. VOR systems performance
will be recorded on the form provided in this inspection program. Section One also provides for the
test of the ELT system as required by 14 CFR Part 91.207.
Section Two provides testing to determine avionics system performance, pitot probe general
condition and information intended in determining the depth of inspection required on the equipment

Definitions
The following definitions are intended to clarify certain specialized terms used in
this advisory material:
Aircraft Group. A group of aircraft that are of nominally identical design and built
with respect to all details that could influence the accuracy of height keeping
performance.
Altimetry System Error (ASE). The difference between the pressure altitudes
displayed to the flight crew when referenced to ISA standard ground pressure
setting (29.92 in. Hg/1013.25 hPa) and free stream pressure altitude.
Assigned Altitude Deviation (MD). The difference between the transponded Mode
C altitude and the assigned altitude/flight level.
Automatic Altitude Control System. Any system which is designed to
automatically control the aircraft to a referenced pressure altitude.
Avionics Error (AVE). The error in the processes of converting the sensed
pressure into an electrical output, of applying any static source error correction
(SSEC) as appropriate, and of displaying the corresponding altitude.
Heiqht-Keepinq Capability. Aircraft height-keeping performance, which can be
expected under nominal environmental operating conditions with proper aircraft
operating practices and maintenance.
Heiqht-Keepinq Performance. The observed performance of an aircraft with
respect to adherence to a flight level.
Non-Group Aircraft. An aircraft for which the operator applies for approval on the
characteristics of the unique airframe rather than on a group basis.
Residual Static Source Error. The amount by which static source error (SSE)
remains under corrected or overcorrected after the application of SSEC.
Static Source Error. The difference between the pressure sensed by the static
system at the static port and the undisturbed ambient pressure.
Total Vertical Error (WE). Vertical geometric difference between the actual
pressure altitude flown by an aircraft and its assigned pressure altitude (flight
level).
Aircraft Weight (W). Weight divided by the atmospheric pressure ratio.
Returning to Service
The Director of Maintenance or their designee is responsible for ensuring that
following maintenance performed on any Company RVSM component/system;
the person approving the inspection for return to service will complete the sign-off
portion of the Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy log and complete an entry
for the aircraft permanent records. Copies of completed work orders, permanent
record entries, Aircraft Maintenance and Discrepancy Logs and any associated
serviceable tags, FAA Form 8130’s, will be kept with the aircraft’s permanent
records. Any time any component of the altimeter or transponder system has
been removed, replaced or repaired, a correlation check will be performed in
accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.411/91.413, 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix E & F
and certification completed. For RVSM certified aircraft, reference the
manufacturers, STC holders, or AAIP data as appropriate.
