D11.4 DUPLICATE INSPECTION CERTIFICATION: D11.4.1 In this para the following definitions shall apply: D11.4.1.1 Control System - A system by which the flight path, attitude or propulsive force of an aircraft is changed. This includes the flight, engine and propeller controls, the related system controls and the associated operating mechanism. In the case of rotorcraft the flight control system includes the mechanism used to control collective pitch, cyclic pitch and yaw. D11.4.1.2 Duplicate Inspection - An inspection first made and certified by one qualified person and subsequently made and certified by a second qualified person. D11.4.1.3 Vital Point - Any point on an aircraft at which single malassembly could lead to catastrophe. D11.4.2 A duplicate inspection of all vital points and control system in an aircraft shall be carried out after initial assembly and before a certificate of release to service is issued after repair, overhaul, modification, replacement or adjustment before the first flight. Depending on the extent of the work, it may be possible to limit the duplicate inspection of a control system to that part of the system which has been disturbed. D11.4.3 The first and second part of duplicate inspection must take account of the full extent of the work under-taken to ensure that all parts of the system that may have been affected by the disturbance are also subject to duplicate inspections. Similarly where work has been carried out on other systems for safety precautions, or to gain access, duplicate inspection on these systems shall be carried out. It is, therefore, necessary that persons who carry out and certify duplicate inspections are required to undertake an independent review of the complete work, as given in the maintenance manual and by reference to work sheets used, including shift hand-over records, to assess the scope of the duplicate inspection(s) required.

APPROVAL OF MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS D11.4.4 It may not be possible to inspect the complete vital point / control system when assembled in the aircraft, due to routing the controls through conduits or boxed- in sections and the pre-sealing of various units. In these cases, the persons certifying the duplicate inspection shall be satisfied that a duplicate inspection has been made previously on the units and covered sections and that the sealed units are acceptable for the particular use. Such tests as are necessary shall be completed to determine that these particular units and sections have full, free and correct directional movement. Unit or components, that are forming part of the control system, shall be subjected to duplicate inspection during bench assembly. Where such work is a subcontract order, instructions regarding inspections / tests should be stated on the order, the release documentation from the sub-contractor being certified appropriately. D11.4.5 Vital points / controls systems subject to duplicate inspection must not be disturbed or re-adjusted after the first certified inspection and the second part of the duplicate inspection must, as nearly as possible, follow immediately after the first part. In some circumstances, due to peculiarities of assembly or accessibility, it may be necessary for both parts of the inspection to be made simultaneously. It is, therefore, desirable that the inspections of a control system are made as near as is practicable to the time of the intended flight and that the full extent of the disturbance is understood by both persons who carry out the duplicate inspections. D11.4.6 If a vital / control system is disturbed after completion of the duplicate inspection, that part, that has been disturbed, shall again be inspected in duplicate and a certificate of release to service issued before the aircraft flies. The duplicate inspection shall be the final operation to establish the integrity of the vital point / control system when all the work has been completed and shall take into account all the relevant instructions and information contained in the associated technical data.

D15. HUMAN RESOURCES AND FATIGUE FACTOR:

D15.1 According to recent publications, reports, etc, on aviation safety, between 70 and 80 per cent of aircraft accidents are due to human factors. In a significant part of them, a maintenance error is one of the main causes or at least a contributing factor. Furthermore, recent statistics show a relative of increase of accidents where Maintenance is a primary factor. Many of these accidents could have been avoided if basic human factors concepts had been observed. Several maintenance incidents have a contributing factor fatigue due to excessive hours of work. Furthermore, organizations engaged in aircraft maintenance for commercial reasons are also under constant pressure to achieve maximum work in minimum time. Excessive hours of work and constant pressure are two vital factors that lead to maintenance errors. To reduce the contributing factor fatigue due to excessive hours of work and constant pressure, the organization should employ sufficient personnel to plan, supervise and inspect the activities included in the approval. Keeping the above points in view, the organization is required to: D15.1.1 Develop a maintenance program in which human factor principals are observed. D15.1.2 Have sufficient personnel employed to plan, supervise and inspect the activities, and D15.1.3 Control hours of service and duty timings.

D16. TRAINING POLICY:

D16.1 The maintenance organization shall ensure that all maintenance personnel receive initial and refreshers training appropriate to their assigned tasks and responsibilities. The organization shall also ensure that all maintenance personnel are instructed regarding the maintenance methods to be employed, in particular when new or unfamiliar equipment is introduced into service. The training program established by an operator for maintenance personnel shall include training in knowledge and skills related to human performance including co-ordination with other maintenance personnel.
