CAM Aircraft Maintenance 2

Question 1

Under which FAR part is a business aviation flight department typically required to use a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) rather than annual/100-hour inspections?

Accepted Answer

Part 91 Subpart K and Part 135 for aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats

Answer

Part 91 Subpart K fractional programs and Part 135 operators of larger aircraft must maintain aircraft under a CAMP.

Question 2

An aviation manager discovers an aircraft flew with an overdue Airworthiness Directive (AD). What is the most immediate consequence?

Accepted Answer

The aircraft was legally unairworthy during those flights

Answer

Operating with an AD not complied with by its deadline renders the aircraft unairworthy and violates FAR 39.7.

Question 3

Which document must a mechanic record a maintenance entry in before an aircraft is approved for return to service?

Accepted Answer

The aircraft maintenance records (logbooks)

Answer

FAR 43.9 requires maintenance entries in the aircraft's maintenance records before return to service.

Question 4

A flight department wants to defer repair of an inoperative item on a turbojet and continue flying. Under Part 91, what generally allows this?

Accepted Answer

An approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL) with a Letter of Authorization

Answer

An FAA-issued Letter of Authorization makes the approved MEL the vehicle for legally deferring inoperative equipment.

Question 5

In budgeting for maintenance, which cost model spreads engine overhaul expenses into a predictable per-flight-hour accrual?

Accepted Answer

An hourly engine maintenance program such as a power-by-the-hour plan

Answer

Guaranteed hourly maintenance programs convert large, irregular overhaul costs into predictable per-hour accruals.
