Storekeepers
The Calibration Laboratory Manager will review the IMTE calibration status log and give a list of
IMTE which will require calibration to the production managers not less than fifteen days before
the equipment mentioned on the list are due.
The responsible managers will select those items requiring calibration and send for calibration
using Form No.: GMF/Q-085.
When the IMTE is proved that calibration is not required, Form No.: GMF/Q-086 shall be used.
Where test software or comparative references such as test hardware are used for product
acceptance, they will be checked to prove that they are capable of verifying the acceptability of
product, prior to release.
Any IMTE found without a current calibration label attached, or the due date is not visible, or with
an expired due date, or there is any suspicious about its precision, accuracy or its calibration status
shall be returned for re-calibration using Form No.: GMF/Q-085.
Loan tools must be inspected prior to use to ensure there is free from defect, complete and have
the current calibration status.
All IMTE are to be used, handled, transported and stored in a manner, which shall not adversely
affect their condition and serviceability. When not in use, all IMTE will be adequately protected
from environmental contamination (dust, rust, and corrosion) and stored in a safe and properly
located area.
All Senior Managers will develop a plan for the periodic cleaning of the facility and they will make
aware to personnel the importance of the facility cleaning, maintenance and safety.
Subcontracted cleaning activities will subject to periodic controls by the Senior Managers who
they remain responsible for ensuring the cleaning standards are met.
Each employee must keep his work-area clean, according to the developed plans. The periodic
cleaning plans and inspections will ensure that the following requirements are met:
a) Dust and any other airborne contamination is kept to a minimum and is not permitted to
reach a level where visible surface contamination is evident;
b) Where maintenance is performed, the working environment should be such that the
particular maintenance or inspection task can be carried out without undue distraction.
When the working environment deteriorates to an unacceptable level in respect of
temperature, moisture, wind, light, dust/other airborne contamination, the maintenance will
be suspended until satisfactory conditions are re-established;
c) For both base and line maintenance where dust/other airborne contamination results in
visible surface contamination, all susceptible systems should be sealed until acceptable
conditions are re-established;
e) The lighting will be such as to ensure each inspection and maintenance task can be carried
out;
f) Noise levels will not be permitted to rise to the point of distracting personnel from carrying
out inspection tasks. Where it is impractical to control the noise source, such personnel
should be provided with the necessary personal equipment;
g) Segregation and storage of parts and material as per their inspection status;
h) The handling of scrapped parts and material as per section 2.19.2 of this manual.
c) The work and storage area shall be free of direct sunlight and free of corrosive fumes and or
other harmful contamination.
2.7.1.2 Requirements for Electrical Shop (Especially for Batteries)
a) Separate facilities are used for nickel-cadmium and lead-acid batteries charging. Ventilation
arrangements are such that no cross contamination can occur.
b) Rooms used for purpose of charging batteries should be well lit and cool and should have a
good ventilation system. The floor surface is made of a material, which is impervious to acid
and alkali, has no-slips qualities and is quick drying and able to wash down easily.
a) Aircraft are painted in the hangar. Subsequently, precautions must be taken to avoid the
contamination of adjoining aircraft.
b) The technique used for painting the aircraft, the electrostatic painting, avoids the dispersion
of paint. Nevertheless, to avoid contamination due to over-sprays, all aircraft/aircraft
components/ tooling/ material located within a radius of 20 meters from the aircraft to be
painted will be covered with a plastic film. The film will be held in place by masking tape.
The Facility Maintenance function will establish, maintain and operate as necessary the fire
protection system. Preventive maintenance will be performed for all fire extinguishers (portable
and stationary) and periodic operational tests will be performed as required by the National
Standards.
Trained personnel will be assigned as fire fighters and an alert system will be established. A
system to assure the prompt notification of fire fighters will be in place and will be validated from
time to time to ensure effectiveness when needed. A validation schedule will be in place.

practices. The procedure will include the prompt notification of the Facility Maintenance function
by the users to rectify defects.
b) Technicians are reminded that electro static sensitive devises can be destroyed by only
momentary contact with any non-conducting or ungrounded object and that the damage is
inflicted at moment of contact.
1. Avoid having non-conductive items such as trays, bags, packaging material, drawings,
or personal effects that are not essential for the work at hand within the immediate
area of the component;
3. Prior to removing any component from a conductive package, the technician should
first touch the package. This also applies to re-packing the device. Care should also be
taken to insure that the electrical terminals on the device do not come in contact with
any plastic or paper outer containers;
5. Technicians should also aware that the use of conductive surfaces in Speed Handling
Areas (Static Fit Rooms) departs from the normal procedure of electrically insulated
work surfaces and appropriate care should be taken so that unauthorized electrical
equipment not used in the proximity work area;
In addition to the cleaning standards specified on previous chapters, the following facilities (other
than clean rooms) will require the temperature to be monitored and controlled to the standards
indicated below:
d) Store rooms for shelf life material, chemicals, including flammable material. As required by
manufacturer's specifications. Flammable material must be stored separate from other

The quality system procedures will be developed by all responsible functions at GMF AeroAsia.
They will cover all aspects of carrying out the maintenance activities and they will lay down the
standards on which GMF AeroAsia intends to work. The procedures will describe how GMF
AeroAsia intends to meet the Authority regulations and how GMF AeroAsia will achieve its
policies and objectives.
The responsibility for integrating the quality related activities to all functions and monitoring
compliance with the quality system requirements will be on the Quality Assurance. The Quality
Assurance will identify and report operating quality deficiencies to the Management and will
measure the effectiveness of the quality system. Below is the structure of the quality system
documentation.
The RSQM contains a summary of the relevant procedures with respect to the Authority
regulations/requirements. The RSQM is the interface between the above mentioned regulations/
requirements and the documented quality management system of GMF AeroAsia.
The GMF Quality Management System consists of the RSQM and detail procedures laid down as
Quality Procedures (QP) and Work Instructions (WI). The Quality Procedures describe
interdepartmental quality related activities issued by the Department managers and accepted by
VP of Quality Assurance & Safety. The QP's describe how each element in the RSQM will be
performed and the responsibility of performing certain quality functions.
The Work Instructions are developed, approved and controlled by the Departments and
predominately describes administrative departmental procedures and these procedures
concurred by VP Quality Assurance & Safety. The Quality Assurance & Safety ensures through
auditing that the WI's do not violate any requirements set forth by the RSQM and the QP’s and the
NDT Procedures considered as the same level as Work Instructions.

2.9.1 Control of Non-Conformities & Damage Assessment on A/C and A/C components
This Section is predominately related with damage assessment and for defining approved repair
solutions when the damage cannot be repaired per available approved maintenance data.
All repairs on aircraft or aircraft components will be accomplished in accordance with approved
maintenance data. The following requirements are covered:
Any aircraft defect or any deviation from TC/STC Holder design found on the aircraft, will be
properly identified with a Warning tag (form GMF/Q-104), recorded on MDR (form GMF/Q-003)
and reported to QC staff for further corrective actions as per the requirements of this procedure
and QP 209-05.
The Engineering Function will perform a damage assessment to assess if the defect or deviation
can be rectified per available approved maintenance data. If it can be rectified per available
approved data, he will write the instructions in the MDR (Form GMF/Q-003).
If the defect cannot be rectified per available approved data, the GMF AeroAsia Engineering
Services will seek a repair approval from TC Holder (or authority) as per RSQM 2.15.
NOTE:
Any component removed due to non-conformities will be tagged with a repairable tag Form
GMF/Q-011 and will be sent to PPC storage area and then to shops for repair.
Rejected components will be investigated, rectified and re-tested. Depending on the degree of
maintenance required based on the inspection or test results, further actions may be required
such as disassembly and detail parts inspection as necessary so that the component (or its break
down parts) to become airworthy. The disposition may be one of the following:
a) Accept (for break down parts). Ready for installation to the next higher assembly. Accepted
components or parts are tagged and routed to accumulation areas waiting installation to
the next higher assembly. For components and parts other than engines, the 'Serviceable
Tag'. Form No.: GMF/Q-012 is used. For engine maintenance (engine components and parts)
the GMF/Q-131 ''ready for assembly item'' tag is used. The serviceable tag will remain in the
work order file.
b) Repairable, per available maintenance data. Repairable components or parts are routed for
repair using the following PD Sheets:
For aircraft, which are maintained under the FAR-145 regulations, GMF AeroAsia Engineering
Services will classify a repair as minor or major as per operator's General Maintenance Manual
(GMM) requirements. If no requirements are given in the operator's GMM, the requirements of
FAR Part 43, AC 25.1529-1 and ATA 51-10-01 may be applied.
Should the repair be determined to be a major, an FAA approved repair procedure must be given
or a procedure must be approved by the TC Holder or FAA DER (Designated Engineering
Representative).
When the repair is classified as minor, the planning engineering will search for a repair solution
through the standard practices manuals or other approved/accepted by FAA data. If the planning
engineering cannot find a repair solution from the above data, comply with the requirements of
the major repair.
NOTE:
GMF AeroAsia planning engineering is not allowed to perform the design engineering services for
both repairs design and/or STC design.

describe the steps to be taken for the fabrication of the parts. The PD Sheet should describe from
the Identification of materials, to the fabrication process step by step, the final inspection of the
parts, the identification and placement of GMF AeroAsia Number and final acceptance of the
parts. Also the PD Sheet must clearly identify the aircraft registration on which the parts will be
installed.
For Customer, which have full maintenance contract, the approval for fabrication of parts must be
issued by Engineering Services.
Any locally manufactured part will be subjected to an inspection stage before, separately, and
preferably independently from, any inspection of its installation. The inspection must establish full
compliance with the relevant manufacturing data and the part must be unambiguously identified
as fit for use by stating conformity to the approved data. Adequate records must be maintained of
all such manufacturing processes including, heat treatment and the final inspections. All parts,
except those having not enough space, should carry a part number, which clearly relates it to the
manufacturing/inspection data. Additional to the part number the GMF identification number
should be marked on the part for trace-ability purposes.
The certifying staff will be responsible to ensure that overhauls, repairs, modifications,
replacements, inspections and tests have been carried out in conformity with approved standards
/specifications /requirements for the aircraft and/or components listed on their Schedule of
Approval. These activities shall be carried out in accordance with the approved manuals, drawings
and schedules related thereto, and any documents approved by the NAA. This implies to the fact
that only those parts fabricated in accordance with approved drawings and other maintenance
data.
The certifying staff will be responsible to ensure that all the requirements mentioned in this
paragraph have been followed. Before accepting the part for installation, will ensure that a GMF
identification number is engraved on it, a serviceable tag has been issued and such tag is
traceable to the fabrication records such as PD sheets, etc. He will also ensure that the records
used to fabricate the part will remain as part of the A/C maintenance records.
The objectives of the maintenance program is to bring the A/C or A/C component to an airworthy
condition in respect to the work requested by the customer/operator within the agreed timetable
and such work to be in accordance with the Authority of A/C registration regulations.
Upon the receipt of the customer’s work order and the maintenance program, the production
planning and control will plan the work as per RSQM 2.28, will launch the work package as per
RSQM 2.13 and will initiate the performance of maintenance with the following activities:
b) The preparation of the appropriate maintenance instruction for the repair of defects found
during the preliminary inspection. RSQM 2.8;
c) The disassembly of the article to the extend required for repairing defects found during
preliminary inspection plus to execute the customer's work scope;
f) In process Inspection;
h) The execution of the required inspections as appropriate. See RSQM 3.7 & 2.23.2;
The QC/Support inspection personnel will perform the preliminary inspection of the A/C and A/C
components. When a functional test is necessary as part of the preliminary inspection (A/C
systems, engine or components), such test will be performed by the qualified personnel.
All inspection and test results, including missing parts, will be recorded in the following forms
together with any additional test data sheets and other supplemented documents traceable to
work orders:
The records of the defects found will be submitted to the planning or production engineers or
AMEL staff who will supplement the customer's work order with the appropriate maintenance
instructions per RSQM 2.8 in order to rectify the defects.
Damage assessment of non-conformities pending disposition will be done per RSQM 2.9. All
defects found will be rectified per approved maintenance data.
Inspection for hidden damage may involve further disassembly as necessary to locate the
suspected damaged area. It will include a thorough and searching inspection for hidden damage
in areas adjacent to the damaged area and/or in the case of deterioration, a thorough review of all
similar materials or equipment in a given system or structural area.
Such inspection will involve visual non-destructive inspection to the suspected area and its
surroundings and predominantly will include the appropriate non-destructive tests (NDT)
methods given by the manufacturers.
Inspection results will be recorded on the appropriate documentation such as Job Cards, MDR,
and PD sheets.
NDT inspectors, as qualified by Section 3.11.1 will perform NDT. Results will be recorded on the
forms give below and will be traceable to the work order and the appropriate Job Card, MDR, or
PD Sheet.
The records will clearly indicate the kind of defect found such as crack, void, inclusion, corrosion or
any other kind of discontinuity, the length and the area the defect found.
The scope of this inspection will be governed by the type of article involved with special
consideration given to previous operating history such as Service Difficulty Report or Malfunction
or Defect Reports, service bulletins and AD Notes applicable to the unit involved.
The records of the defects found will be submitted to the planning or production engineers or
AMEL staff who they will supplement the customer's work order with the appropriate
maintenance instructions per RSQM 2.8 in order to rectify the defects.
Damage assessment of non-conformities pending disposition will be done per RSQM 2.9. All
defects found will be rectified per approved maintenance data.
Authorized production inspection personnel and QC/RII/Support personnel (per RSQM 2.23.2), will
be assigned to make inspections at various stages of maintenance and defects rectification.
This inspection will be accomplished with a frequency determined by the maintenance manuals
and Job Cards, MDR or PD sheets and will mainly consist of:
c) Specific inspections or checks required to be made and sign for by the inspector;
The maintenance must be held until the inspections and tests have been completed or necessary
reports have been received and verified.
The records of the defects found will be submitted to the production engineers or AMEL staff who
will supplement the customer's work order with the appropriate maintenance instructions per
RSQM 2.8 in order to rectify the defects.
Damage assessment of non-conformities pending disposition will be done per RSQM 2.9. All
defects found will be rectified per approved maintenance data.

2.10.6 Work performed at the Aircraft by Shop Personnel & Work Performed for aircraft
Maintenance in Shops
When an aircraft component is sent to shops for maintenance, the PPC must ensure that the shop
has the appropriate capability and approvals from the Authority requirements for the
performance of such maintenance. The following requirements will apply:
The operator will request GMF AeroAsia to incorporate the AD Notes as applicable. Additionally,
the Engineering Services will perform an AD search on the website every two weeks to retrieve
biweekly AD Notes applicable to the A/C or A/C components. He will keep a list of biweekly AD
Notes together with all applicable AD Notes and also have available the NAA AD Notes as
applicable to such A/C or A/C component. The list should be able to be accessed by other
functions.
When the AD notes from authority of A/C registration are not available via the website and/or the
website is not a reliable course (not recommended by the Authority), Engineering Services will
subscribe to a recognized source.
The engineering function on each department will arrange for the incorporation of the AD Notes
as requested by the operator and will bring to the customer's attention any additional AD Notes
they require incorporation during the present ground time. Should the customer for any reason
not desire to incorporate the AD Note and that AD Note is due, while the A/C, engine and
components are under the maintenance and GMF AeroAsia is responsible for issuing the CRS, the
engineering will notify the certifying staff who is in turn will proceed as per Section 3.9 of this
manual.
2.11.2 AD Note & Service Bulletin Evaluation- Applicability and Capability Determination
The Engineering Services will evaluate each AD Note or Service Bulletin, which are provided by
operator, to determine A/C, engine and component applicability and the resources required such
as tools, material and man-hours, etc, for the development of the appropriate capability. If the SB
cannot be provided due to manufacturer’s policy, the AD evaluation should be ended without AD
Part Control. Engineering Services will enter the evaluation results on the Engineering Evaluation
Sheet (Form No GMF/Q -189). Ensure the SB issuance, specific to the revision level and/or date is
comply with, and no deviation within AD Notes. Noncompliance or deviation of SB issuance
application shall request an AMOC to FAA. The Evaluation Sheet and will pass this information to
production planning and procurement. The production planning and procurement will arrange
for the availability of the resources as necessary.
The Operator shall determine the applicable method of compliance being incorporated of AD
Notes and discussed with GMF engineering function. In case the operator does not explain the
method of compliance of the AD Notes, the engineering function will make an evaluation to
determine the method of compliance of AD Notes requested by customer work order and get an
approval from the operator.
The implementation method of compliance and an AMOC shall be recorded into form FAA-337
prior to issue Certificate Release to Service. Certifying Staff shall prepare the form FAA-337 and
make sure the specific method of compliance and or AMOC is completed and suitable with
customer work order. Engineering function shall prepare AD/SB compliance status record to
include detail method of compliance and AMOC of AD Notes if any.
The Engineering Services, in addition to the AD Note evaluation for determining and developing
the capability will evaluate if any part or component become obsolete or requires further rework
due to a design change coming from an AD Note. The Engineering Services will develop a file
(Form No GMF/Q-191), shared with read access to material planning department, engineering
function in each department and store manager and will list any such part or component. The list
will include corrective actions such as scrap or rework.
Note:
See RSQM 2.3.1 for “Disposition & Withdrawal of Parts and Components from Stores Due to AD
Notes”.
2.11.4 Writing the Maintenance Instructions for the Incorporation of the AD & SB
The engineering function on each department will prepare the accomplishment instructions (job
cards or PD sheets) for the incorporation of the AD Notes as required by RSQM 2.8.
The engineering function will develop for each work order an AD/SB Compliance Status Record
(Form No.: GMF/Q-071), which will include the following:
Prior to incorporation of the AD Note and Service Bulletin, the engineering function in
coordination with the Quality Control in each department, will brief the maintenance personnel
about the AD/SB requirements to ensure they have an adequate understanding of what is to be
done and also to ensure that they can incorporate the requirements of the AD/SB. For any special
case, the engineering functions may request Engineering Services to assist.
Incorporation
Qualified personnel will incorporate the AD Notes and Service Bulletins in accordance with the
maintenance instructions (Job Card or PD Sheets). The Qualified inspection personnel in charge
will physically check if all SB/AD Notes have been effectively implemented and will check the
SB/AD Note Compliance Status Records for proper entries. All AD Notes will be accomplished as
RII.
2.11.6 Control of Accomplished AD Notes and Service Bulletins for A/C, Engines and
Components Controlled by GMF AeroAsia
When GMF AeroAsia is contracted by the operator to control the AD Notes, the contract will
describe how GMF AeroAsia will perform such functions based on operator's maintenance
program. In this case, GMF AeroAsia will keep records of all AD Notes performed. Such records will
become available to the operator. The list of AD Notes will indicate either one-time compliance or
recurring compliance or the next due date, hours or cycles.
2.12.1 General
GMF AeroAsia will not determine (unless otherwise specified in chapter 2.12.4), what non-
mandatory modifications will be performed on operator's A/C or A/C components. The operator
under his maintenance program controls the non-mandatory modification (unless GMF Aero Asia
is delegated to perform such controls). GMF AeroAsia may suggest to the operator to comply with
some modifications and as far as its capability permits will perform all modifications requested by
the operator.
When modifications requested for compliance, the engineering services will follow the procedure
in Section 2.11 (airworthiness directive procedure) to analyze the resources required in terms of
tools, material and man-hours, etc for the development of the appropriate capability and also to
develop the maintenance instructions and recording system for the embodiment of the
modification.
The planning engineering will prepare the accomplishment instructions (Job Card or PD Sheets)
of the modifications as per RSQM 2.8 to guide the maintenance function to incorporate the
modification.
When GMF AeroAsia is contracted by the operator to control the optional modifications, the
contract will describe how GMF AeroAsia will perform such functions based on operator's
maintenance program. In this case, GMF AeroAsia will keep records of optional modifications
performed. Such records will become available to the operator.
This section is related with the preparation of the maintenance work package and any
amendments, the distribution of the work package to maintenance functions, the daily control of
routine and non-routine work records and signing off the work performed.
The planning engineer writes the job cards as per RSQM 2.8 After the job cards have been
developed, the planning engineer will assign a unique number of each job card and will inventory
all the Job Cards on the Job Card Inventory, Form GMF/B-011 traceable to Work Order Form
GMF/Q-001.
Before he released the work package to PPC, he will perform an adequacy check to ensure that
the prepared work package is sufficient for the scope of work and for the configuration of the
aircraft. He will check all Job Cards against the operator's work scope and Maintenance
Requirements Items, or Maintenance Planning Data, and he will ensure that:
a) All required routine maintenance tasks are included in the job cards. The total number of job
cards issued (as listed in the job card inventory form) and their content (the maintenance
tasks) must represent the full scope of work.
b) The maintenance data referenced to the job cards is the correct one for the proper aircraft
configuration;
c) All the required inspection items by the operator have been planned;
d) All requirements mentioned in RSQM 2.8 are met, and
e) Any corrective actions on deficiencies from previous maintenance, from shop floor changes
or from any improvements requiring correction of maintenance instructions are
incorporated;
f) Comply with the requirements of 2.13.1.1 (b) below as appropriate.
2.13.1.1 Using the operator's job cards (or equivalent) or specific instructions for the
performance of maintenance
When the operator requires the use of his own job cards (or equivalent work cards/sheets) or his
own specific instructions as per his maintenance program, a customer’s quality plan will be
developed by production planning and control to assist the maintenance personnel for the
proper understanding and execution of the work and the signing off of such job cards or work
sheets.
In coordination with the operator and using his maintenance program requirements, develop a
customer’s quality plan, which may include as necessary, but not limited the following:
1) Instructions to perform work using the operators job cards and other maintenance
instruction;
2) Instructions to sign off work performed on operator's job cards (or equivalent)
including personnel skills authorized for claiming work performed;
3) Operator's forms and release to service documents to be used (if any) and instructions
for completing such forms;
4) Specific maintenance instructions required to be followed as per operator's
maintenance program;
5) Instructions for parts, components and material requirements including handling of
rotables and scrap parts;
6) Any other requirements from the operator, which defers from the GMF AeroAsia
procedures.
The General Manager of quality control or his delegate and customer representative will sign the
customer’s quality plan.
The customer’s quality plan will be developed in any format suitable for the application and will
be issued, distributed, used and controlled with the same manner as the QPs are developed per
RSQM 2.8.
When the job cards (or equivalent work cards/sheets) are given by the operator, the planning
engineer is responsible to review those job cards for adequacy, define tools and equipment needs
and material requirements. Additional job cards may require to be written to complete the work
package. The planning engineering will perform the following:
1) Ensure an inventory is given together with the job cards and signed by the customer;
2) Check all the job cards (or equivalent) received against the inventory and ensure they
are all available and updated. If any job card is missing from the list or from the work
package inform the customer;
4) If the customer has not given an inventory, use the job card inventory, form GMF/B-
011 and list all the job cards received. Have the customer to sign the inventory, form
GMF/B-011;
5) Review one by one the job cards (staring from the sequence of operations) and define
the resources needed for the execution of each job card:
▪ Maintenance data (drawings, ATA chapters, etc);
▪ Tools and equipment;
▪ Parts and material;
▪ Manpower and skills;
▪ Man-hours needed.
6) Register each job card number in the computerized system and enter the resources
defined above.
7) Create a bill of routine parts and material required as defined by each job card review.
Enter data for bill of materials to computerized system;
8) Define availability of tools and equipment versus actual needs. Create a list of tools
and equipment required and a separate list of tools and equipment they are not
available. Pass this information to the tooling and procurement functions;
The Production engineer will load each job card number to the computerized system database,
for any non-routine MDR entered by PPC. For monitoring and controlling the work and they will
provide the appropriate information and support. Both production engineer and PPC will perform
the following prior to maintenance and on daily basis as appropriate:
a) Register each job card number in the computerized system together with the following
information:
b) Attach the appropriate maintenance data (ATA number) on each job card performing the
following:
▪ Retrieve the correct ATA number as given in the Job card and copy or print;
▪ Place a stamp for one time use only on the maintenance data stating the A/C registration;
▪ Keep the job cards attach with the appropriate maintenance data.
c) Define and prepare tools and material for each job card.
NOTE:
During the defect rectification and when an MDR is issued, the PPC is responsible to comply
with the same requirements mentioned above for each MDR.
d) Utilizing the Tally sheets in the control room, register the job cards or non-routine cards
required on daily basis. Keep on separate Tally Sheets the open, close, pending, etc job cards
and also enter the appropriate information in the computerized system.
e) For any non-routine work generated, assign a control number on each non-routine card and
proceed with the steps a) to d) above.
II. Shop floor and/or emergency change to job cards, PD Sheets, MDR in process
Floor changes or emergency changes of the maintenance instructions during work in process may
take place any time a revision is necessary to correct improper statements, references, instructions
etc. The changes will be in hand writing, using black/blue ink, and will be done only by the
planning engineer or from the person who wrote the instruction.
When a statement is deleted (or replaced by another one), a line will draw over the deleted
statement, which will still be visible. Tipp-Ex or any other means of deleting the statement, which
completely obscures it, are not allowed. The person who made the change will enter his stamp or
his name and signature. A statement that will describe the reason of change will be written next
to the appraise name & signature or stamp.
When an emergency change or shop floor change occur the back up master document will be
revised to incorporate the revision.
The authorized person who made the revision must determine if this revision affects any other
maintenance instruction.
2.13.3 Reviewing records for completion and claiming the work performed
2.13.3.1 General
In order to prevent omissions, every maintenance task or group of tasks will be signed-off. To
ensure the task or group of tasks is completed; it will only be signed-off after completion.
Work by unauthorized personnel (example: temporary staff, trainee, etc) will be checked by
authorized personnel before they sign-off.
Note 1:
A “sign-off” is a statement by the competent person performing or supervising the work that
signing or stamping and entering the date as appropriate have correctly performed the task or
group of tasks
Note 2:
''Authorized personnel” means personnel formally authorized by GMF AeroAsia under the RSQM
requirements to sign-off tasks as described in their Certificate of Competency and authorizations
each employee holds. “Authorized personnel” are not necessarily “certifying staff”
Note 3:
A person is not allowed to sign off work performed if such work is not mentioned in his certificate
of competency or his authorization.
Before the authorized person is signing off work performed - apart from ensuring that the work
has been satisfactorily performed - he must ensure that:
a) The technician who carried out the particular maintenance task will stamp that he has
accomplished the task only when he is satisfied by self-inspection that the task has been
properly carried out in accordance with the approved maintenance data.
b) If the Job Card, MDR, or PD Sheet requires an RII in addition to the one performed under
paragraph (a), the qualified and approved by the operator RII inspection person will stamp
for the second inspection when satisfied.
2.13.3.3 Claiming work when defects found or work not satisfactorily performed
For PD Sheets, the authorized personnel shall write the word reject and stamp on the appropriate
step which the inspection took place. Enter on the back page or to another document traceable to
that one, the discrepancy found. The level 3 technician or the production engineer will enter the
rectification order on the back of the PD sheet, give reference to another document. When the
work is satisfactorily completed, the technician will stamp to indicate satisfactory completion of
the task and put date. Continue to the next step of the PD Sheet.
Note:
Work is not allowed to proceed to the next step until the previous step is satisfactory completed.
Claiming defects found during inspection and tests on routine A/C checks
When a defect is found, the mechanic or inspector will record the discrepancy using the
Maintenance Discrepancy and Rectification (MDR). On the Job Card he will write the MDR Number
and the defect statement and will use his stamp and the date to indicate that the inspection has
been completed and the inspection results are recorded on the Job Card.
If a multiple task Job Card is used, the next step will not be performed until the defects found on
the previous steps have been rectified.
When the MDR is used to record the discrepancies, the MDR Control List must be developed to
control the rectification of the defects found. Traceability of the Job Card with the MDR or any
other form used to record the discrepancy will be always established.
Prior releasing the aircraft to service the certifying staff must review the MDR issued to ensure that
all defects have been properly rectified.
2.14.1 General
Maintenance records are the records generated during the maintenance of aircraft, engine and
aircraft components and is related to customer's work order.
The records will remain legible throughout the required retention period. They will be stored and
retained in such a way that they are readily retrievable. A suitable environment will be provided
for the storage of the records in order to prevent damage or deterioration, fire, flood, alteration,
theft and loss. Customers and Authorities will have access to the records.
Maintenance records will be retained for at least three years. When the operator requires GMF
AeroAsia to keep the records as per operator’s maintenance program, such records will be kept as
per operator’s procedure and authority regulations.
The aircraft maintenance record function will keep whenever applicable the following:
Where the operator selects to keep all the maintenance records, a copy of all the records will be
made and kept in file.
The engine/component maintenance record function will keep whenever applicable the
following:
Administration of records under this section means to prepare the relevant documents for filing.
This is done after the certifying staff has reviewed the records for completion as required by RSQM
Section 2.16 to determine readiness for release to service.
The production control will receive the record package and will perform the following:
a) Aircraft information;
b) Certificate of Maintenance;

must exist within the work package:
e) All purchased parts/components used for the maintenance must be traceable to the PO as
indicated in the goods issue slip.
a) Store only those records and forms which require retention as required by this Procedure;
b) Control loan of maintenance records by maintaining a withdrawal log of records loaned and
returned;
c) Arrange for the disposal or expired records. Prior to actual records disposal, develop a
disposal records list for records intended for disposal and forward a copy to QSA for
approval. Only after approval by QSA the records will be destroyed. Assure those records
that have been approved for destruction by QSA are either torn or burned. Keep the
disposal records list for a period of 2 years;
The following general support records (see table 1) will be retained as an evidence of the quality
of the work performed. The responsible functions to retain the records and the retention period
for each record are shown in the table 1.
NOTE:
The retention period of all purchased material starts by the time they installed on the end item.
The storage period of the material is not considered as a retention period.
2.15.1 General
All maintenance of the Aircraft will be performed in accordance with an approved maintenance
program and maintenance data as dictated by the operator. The maintenance is accomplished in
accordance with the selected work package called routine maintenance. Following the routine
maintenance/checks, a non-routine work will be generated if defects are found.
a. The inspection personnel will enter in the Job Card (Form No.: GMF/Q-002) the defects
found, will complete the MDR (Form No.: GMF/Q-003), assign MDR number and record such
number in the Job Card and they will request rectification order from Qualified Licensed
Personnel as per QP 209-05.
b. The Authorized Licensed Personnel will evaluate defects found and will write the
rectification order following approved maintenance data requirements. The rectification will
take place, based on the instructions in the aircraft Maintenance Manual, Structural Repair
Manual, Component Repair Manual, etc.
c. The maintenance personnel will rectify the defects following the repair order and approved
maintenance data requirements per QP 209-05.
d. Required inspections will be performed (depending on the rectification) to ensure proper
rectification of the defects.
Where structural repairs are required, detailed drawings will be developed by the Engineering
Services referring to SRM or other approved maintenance data to illustrate specific repair
conditions. A copy of the drawing will be included in the aircraft records.
2.15.3 Damaged Assessment for Defect Rectification not Described in the Manuals
When a defect cannot be rectified per available maintenance data (rectification is not covered in
the manuals), the planning engineering will assess the damage and obtain instructions of an
approved repair by the TC Holder. When a repair instruction is available by the manufacturer (TC
Holder), a rectification orders on the MDR Form No.: GMF/Q-003 will be written reference to the
manufacturing instructions. The maintenance personnel will perform the rectifications as per the
instruction.
Defects found, they will be rectified during the current maintenance slot. GMF AeroAsia will not
postpone any defect rectification unless the customer wants to defer a repair as per Section 3.9 of
this manual.
2.16.1 Procedure for Releasing to Service A/C & A/C Components - General
Certifying Staff, as authorized per RSQM 3.4 will decide to release or not to release to service an
A/C or A/C component. The release to service procedure will consist of a final inspection of the
work and the issuance of a formal CRS when appropriate.
During the maintenance and before issuing a CRS for A/C or A/C component, the certifying staff
and support staff (see categories in RSQM 3.4.3) is responsible to:
At any scheduled or unscheduled maintenance task carried out to a fuel system feature classified
as a Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL) and before release to service, the
maintenance records shall reflect that the correct configuration is maintained and ensured.
Detailed procedures of CDCCL are described as per QP 304-06.
NOTES: For A/C and Engines, when the support staff authorized personnel do the inspections or
checks, the certifying staff having the responsibility for signing the CRS, remains fully
responsible to ensure that such inspections and checks have been effectively performed
and all defects are cleared out.
For components (other than engines) the certifying staff must witness the final inspection and
test and verify by self-inspection the proper functioning of the component.
Before issuing the CRS for A/C, the operator has to review and sign the list of deferred
defects/items (if any). See RSQM 3.9
The certifying staff, before issuing a CRS must ensure that the components, parts and material
installed on the A/C or A/C components are eligible for installation based on the regulations of the
Authority of A/C registration.
Eligibility status will be determined based on the appropriate airworthiness approval tags, aircraft
and components configuration requirements such as AD/SB or certificates furnished with the
parts, components or material as mentioned in RSQM 2.3.6 (b) and they must be in work order
record. A CRS will not be issued if the above requirements are not met.
2.16.3 Work Not Satisfactorily Performed - CRS Cannot Be Issued
After the work completed but the certifying staff has found defects, incomplete records, or any
other problem, which leads to the conclusion that the maintenance has not been performed as
per customer's work order and maintenance program and/or as per the Authority regulations, the
certifying staff will perform the following:
a) For A/C, enter on the Work Order Form No. GMF/Q-001 the discrepancies which must be
corrected before a CRS is issued.
b) For Engine/APU, enter on the Work Order Form No. GMF/Q-075 the discrepancies which
must be corrected before a CRS is issued.
c) For other components, enter on the final step of the PD Sheet the word ''reject'' and on the
back page of the PD sheet enter the discrepancies, which must be corrected before CRS is
issued.
d) Inform the PPC.
NOTE:
New defects or incomplete maintenance work orders identified during the above maintenance
shall be brought to the attention of the aircraft operator for the specific purpose of obtaining
agreement to rectify such defects or completing the missing elements of the maintenance work
order. In the case where the aircraft operator declines to have such maintenance carried out
under this paragraph, paragraph (e) is applicable. The requirements of RSQM 3.9 will be applied.
When GMF AeroAsia is unable to complete all maintenance ordered, the certifying staff may issue
a certificate of release to service within the approved aircraft limitations. The certifying staff will
enter such fact in the aircraft certificate of release to service before the issue of such certificate
provided the following would be considered:
a) The operator is informed in the case where full release to service compliance cannot be
achieved within the operator’s limitations. If the operator agrees to the deferment of full
compliance, then the certificate of release to service may be issued subject to details of the
deferment, including the operator’s authority, being endorsed on the certificate. See RSQM
3.9
b) In case of doubt concerning such a decision of the operator, the certifying staff will inform
the VP for Quality Assurance & Safety who in turn will discuss the issue and resolve with the
operator.
c) If there still no decision has been taken, the VP for Quality Assurance & Safety will inform the
Authority of the aircraft registration of such doubt, before issue of the certificate of release
to service. This will allow the Authority to investigate the matter as appropriate.

Instructions for Completing the FAA Form 337, MAJOR REPAIR AND ALTERATION
(References: FAR 43, Appendix B FAR 145.51 AC 43.9-1F)
Purpose
To document the performance of a major repair or alteration; to approve for return to service of
the work performed; to notify the FAA and owner/operator of the performance. The form is used
for aircraft, engines and components.
In case of major alteration, the form shall be filled out in triplicate. The original is given to the
owner, the first copy is forwarded to FAA district office after the aircraft and/or component is
released for return to service. The second copy is retained by the Quality Assurance department.
FORM INSTRUCTIONS. The person who performs or supervises a major repair or major alteration
must prepare Form 337. The form is executed at least in duplicate and is used to record major
repairs and major alterations made to an aircraft, airframe, powerplant, propeller, appliance, or a
component part thereof. The following instructions apply to items 1 through 8 of the form as
illustrated in Appendix 1. The terms item_ and block_ are used synonymously in FAA documents
relating to data collection on Form 337.
a. Item 1 – Aircraft. “The nationality and Registration Mark” is the same as shown on. Aircraft
Certification (AC) Form 8050-3, Certificate of Aircraft Registration. An “N” prefix denotes the
nationality for U.S. registered aircraft. Information to complete the “Make,” “’Model” and
“Serial Number” blocks is found on the aircraft manufacturer’s identification plate. A
“Series” block has been provided to further identify the series of a specific model. Proper
segregation of the model and series will be useful in collecting data for safety related
issues.
NOTE: When the aircraft registry receives a completed Form 337 for the official aircraft file,
it is validated by matching the registration “N” number with the serial number. If an
application for a change to the “N” number has been made, it is important for the
submitter to receive verification of the change from the FAA registry with a new AC Form
8050-3. If the Form 337 must be submitted before receipt of the new registration then the
old “N” number must be used.
b. Item 2 – Owner. Enter the aircraft owner’s complete name and address as shown on AC
Form 8050-3. When work is performed during a change in ownership, it is permissible to
use the name and address shown on AC Form 8050-1, Aircraft Registration Application.
NOTE: When a major repair or major alteration is made to a component part, items 1, 2,
and in some cases 5 will be left blank and the original and duplicate copies of the form will
remain with the part until it is installed on an aircraft. After entering the required
information in items 1, 2, and if appropriate, 5, the person who installed the part will give
one form to the owner/operator and forward the duplicate copy to the FAA registry within
48 hours after the aircraft is approved for return to service. If a component part of an
airframe, powerplant, propeller, or appliance is repaired or altered and the unit
identification information is not known, it is appropriate to apply the preceding procedure
and leave item 5 blank until the airframe, powerplant, propeller or appliance is installed on
the aircraft.
c. Item 3 – For FAA Use Only. Indicate approval in item 3 when the FAA determines that data
used to perform a major repair or major alteration conforms to accepted industry practices
and is in compliance with current guidance and regulatory requirements. Approval is
indicated by one of the following methods. (See paragraph 7, Administrative Processing,

to service to ensure that all the work described in item 8 matches approved data and that
the information presented on the form is complete.
(4) If the form is not accepted by the aircraft registry for any reason, it will be routed
through the FAA regional office back to the return to service agent identified in item 7.
(2) The description should refer to all applicable FAR sections and to the FAA-approved
data used to substantiate the airworthiness of the repair or alteration. Forms of FAA-
approved data are contained in Order 8300.10 and AC 43-210, Standardized
Procedures for Requesting Field Approval of Data, Major Alterations, and Repairs.
NOTE: Supplemental data such as stress analyses, test reports, sketches, or photographs
are often proprietary and not intended as part of the item 8 description. Supplemental
data submitted as part of the item 8 description should be identified as an attachment to
the form using the following procedure.
(3) If additional space is needed to describe the repair or alteration for item 8, check the
“Additional Sheets Are Attached” box at the bottom of the page. Attach sheets showing
the aircraft nationality, registration mark, and the date the work was completed. All
attachments to item 8 must be submitted on 81/2 ス- by 11-inch paper to allow for
proper processing into the aircraft historical record at the aircraft registry. If attachments
to Form 337 are received by the FAA in a format larger than an 8 1/2ス- by 11-inch page
then the submission will be returned to the person identified in item 7 for correction and
resubmission.
(4) Showing weight and balance computations under item 8 is not required but it may be
done. If weight and balance of the aircraft are affected by the work described on Form
337, the changes should be entered in the aircraft weight and balance records with the
date, signature, and reference to the form.
a. Approved Data. Complete the form as instructed in this AC, excluding item 3, and
ensure that items 6 and 7 have been properly executed. Give a copy of the form to the
aircraft owner/operator and send a duplicate copy to the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch
within 48 hours after the airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance is installed on an
aircraft and approved for return to service.
b. Unapproved Data. Complete the form as instructed in this AC, leaving items 6 and 7
blank. Both copies of the form and any supplemental data will be sent to the local FAA
district office. When the FAA determines that the major repair or major alteration data
complies with regulations and conforms to accepted industry practices, data approval will
be recorded by entering an appropriate statement in item 3. Both forms and any
supplemental data will be returned to the applicant who will then complete items 6 and 7.
The applicant will give one of the completed forms to the aircraft owner/operator and
submit the other completed form to the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch for inclusion in the
aircraft records.
NOTE: The electronic FAA Form 337 allows for electronic approvals and processing of Form
337 from the time it is used to describe the alteration or repair until it is forwarded to
the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch. At this time the FAA does not allow for the
mixing of the two processes. If Form 337 is started in the electronic format, it must be
completed that way and cannot be completed using the paper process. Further
information is supplied at the Web site shown in paragraph 4(b).
(1) An FAA inspector’s signature in item 3 indicates approval of the data described in
that section for use in accomplishing the work described in item 8 of the form. The
statement of completeness in item 3 by an appropriately rated designee is a “certification of
completeness” of required data. It is not a field approval or approval of data.
NOTE: Signatures in item 3 count as data approval or completeness of approved data only
and do not indicate the approval for return to service for the work in item 8.
(2) A signature in item 6 is a certification by the person performing the work that the
work complies with all applicable airworthiness requirements and FAA-approved data. The
certification is only applicable to the work described in item 8 or attached sheets.

2.18.1 General
Any condition identified on aircraft or aircraft components that could seriously hazard the aircraft
will be reported to the appropriate authority, the TC Holder and the aircraft operator.
Reports will be made by the VP for Quality Assurance & Safety as soon as possible within 72 hours
since the defect was found, on a form using the following web site http://av-info.faa.gov/sdrx
Prior to submitting the report, the VP for Quality Assurance & Safety will contact the Authority of
the A/C registration to ensure that such defect can be reported or not. The defect may not be
reported if such defect is known or it has been reported by any other organization. Defects, which
may be reported, are the following:
a) Damage on aircraft structure that could seriously hazard the aircraft or cause an
Unairworthy condition;
b) Severe cracks, heavy corrosion, burning or deterioration of aircraft structure, aircraft engines
and aircraft components exceeding allowed thresholds, detected during maintenance;
c) Failure of any emergency system during scheduled testing;
d) For FAA registered aircraft, any major defect is reported using the website above.
2.18.3 Reporting Deficiencies Caused by GMF AeroAsia during Maintenance after the Release to
Service is issued
The VP for Quality Assurance & Safety will determine the need to report and recall (if necessary)
any article which may subject to faults due to inappropriate process, incorrect use of material, etc.
He will inform the customer and the Authority as appropriate describing in detail the deficiency.
Such deficiencies may be identified from the following situations:
a) Records may reveal that an important maintenance task such as AD Note or defect
rectification has not been performed, or a component with improper configuration or
certification has been installed;
b) Similar maintenance tasks have resulted in deficiencies on A/C and components under
maintenance. The defects has been found by the customer during operation;
c) Any other reason that jeopardize the safety of the aircraft.
Prior to submitting the report, the VP for Quality Assurance & Safety shall discuss with the
operator about the possibility that an unsafe condition may exist on the aircraft. Depending on
the suspected defect, the operator may verify its existence or have GMF AeroAsia to verify and
rectify the defect. Should the suspected unsafe condition is related with an AD Note and the
operator is unwilling to cooperate for the prompt correction of the defect, the VP for Quality
Assurance & Safety will inform the Authority concerned and he will act accordingly. The reporting
procedure to the Authority may be the same as per RSQM chapter 2.18.2
Based on GMF AeroAsia Quality Policy, all employees are obliged to report defects created due to
GMF AeroAsia fault to their Managers in a manner that such reports will ultimately come to the
attention of the Quality Control personnel and certifying staff. Such staff will issue the appropriate
forms as described in chapter 2.18.5 for the initiation of the corrective and preventive actions
(RSQM 3.3 & 1.1.3).
The purpose of the report is to identify the factors contributing to deficiencies, and to make the
system resistant to similar errors. Management must establish the appropriate culture to
encourage all personnel for a free and frank reporting of any (potentially) safety related
occurrence.
The Management must also ensure that personnel are not inappropriately punished for reporting
or cooperating with occurrence investigations.
Corrective action on deficiencies will be taken as instructed in RSQM chapter 3.3.3 and 1.1.3. The
reporting procedure is also mentioned in RSQM chapter 2.18.5.

2.21.1 Security of Computer Generated Back up Files of Job Cards & PD Sheets and Engineering
Instructions
Such maintenance instructions are developed as per RSQM 2.8. Back up files of Job Cards and PD
Sheets will be secured by password to avoid access to unauthorized personnel. The name of the
planning engineer who develops the job card or PD sheet and the subsequent revisions will
appear on the footer of each document and it represents the signature of the writer.
Provisions are made to secure for loss of data resulting from system failure. In all cases a back up
file must be available and updated every 24 hours.
GMF AeroAsia does not use computerized maintenance records system for the purpose of
recording the maintenance activities performed and for electronically claiming the work. In some
instances, it may be appropriate for GMF to scan and keep in a CD, copy of the maintenance
records.
For general support records, electronic means are used to store data such as SAP and LAN. There
is at least one backup system that is updated every 24 hours. Each terminal is required to contain
program safeguards against the ability of unauthorized personnel to alter the database. The
backup former programs and release of programs in use must be able to read the data for at least
two years.
Provisions are taken so that such computerized records to be accessible only to authorized
personnel using appropriate passwords.
Computer backup discs, tapes etc. are be stored in a different location from that containing the
working discs, tapes etc., in an environment that ensures they remain in good condition.
In case the computer system is shut down, the manual system (paper work) is used to
administrate any recordings and/or transactions. When the computer system is back to normal,
all the transactions and records, which have been generated in paper, are transferred to the
computer system.
In order the man-hours for each work order to be sufficient to perform the maintenance program
within the prescribed program visit, the following must be taken into account:
a) Determination of the total man power required based on the master production schedule;
b) Based of the existing available hours per employee, determine the number of man hours
required;
c) Based on the required special skills, determine the required number of staff per type of skill;
d) Determination of sufficient number of quality audit personnel to carry out the quality
monitoring compliance functions;
e) Determination of sufficient number of skilled and qualified inspection personnel to carry out
Required Inspections as required by air carriers and/or skilled inspection personnel to carry
out required inspection item. These determinations will be made based on operator's or air-
carrier's maintenance program;
f) Determination of adequate number of qualified Certifying Staff for each product type;
g) The number of permanent employee of each hangar and workshop at least 50% of the total
required employee
Each General Manager will develop man-hours plan and will define the number of staff per type of
skill required accomplishing anticipated maintenance workload. These man-hours plan will be
crossed checked against hangar occupation plan and anticipated maintenance workload at least
every 3 months.
Man-hour plans will be submitted for approval to the Vice Presidents. The yearly man-hour plan
will be approved by CEO.
A deviation of more than 25% of manpower availability will be reported to the Quality Assurance
& Safety and CEO for corrective actions.
Critical tasks are defined as those tasks, which the past experience has shown the possibility of an
error being repeated to reassemble aircraft components after removal especially when several
identical aircraft components are to be fitted to more than one system of the same aircraft.
Examples of such possible errors could be the possibility of failure to reinstall engine oil filters,
gearbox access covers, engine borescope access ports, etc.
List of critical task items are provided by operator and can be determined by reviewing
Customer’s Continuous Aircraft Maintenance Program (CAMP). In case the owner or operator does
not specify in his CAMP, the critical task item list developed by engineering function based on
respective Maintenance Planning Data from manufacture.
When only one person is available to carry out these same tasks then the job card should include
an additional stage for re-inspection of the work by the person after completion of all the same
task and that person must have current Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License appropriate to the
type of aircraft being maintained.
a) Perform a risk analysis to determine the possibility of errors related to failure to re-install
similar components fitted to different systems of the same aircraft.
b) Utilizing past experience to determine other possible errors of incomplete maintenance.
c) Identify items that fall to steps a) & b) above and issue engineering instruction.
a) Develop one Job Card for each aircraft system for the removal and installation of parts,
which are identical to another aircraft system. For example, to check the oil filters for 747-
200 engines, utilize four job cards, one for each engine.
b) Write the maintenance tasks for each job card by including an additional step for inspection
in the job card as the example below:
1) Step one : Remove port;
2) Step two : Borescope;
3) Step three : Install/close port;
4) Step four : Inspect port for properly closed and secured.
NOTE:
The inspection step should not be at the same step with the install/close step.
c) Identify the job card as ''Critical Tasks Job Card'' by placing such statement on the header of
the job card.
NOTE:
This procedure applies also for the line maintenance tasks (RSQM L2.7)
Required Inspection Items (RII) as required by 14 FAR Part 121.369(b)(2) are items of maintenance
and/or alteration which could result in a failure, malfunction or defect which would endanger the
safe operation of the aircraft if not performed properly or if improper parts or materials are used.
These items require inspection prior to the release of an aircraft for flight.
Proper parts and materials must be used and the maintenance accomplished in accordance with
applicable aircraft manual specifications or other data acceptable to or approved by the
administrator.
Each required inspection item will be accepted or rejected based on use of proper materials,
correct installation, security, and operation as applicable, and may be approved for return to
service only by a person with RII authority as authorized by VP Quality Assurance and Safety.
The appropriate number of personnel will be assigned as per RSQM 2.22 and RSQM 2.28. The work
performed will be claimed as required by RSQM 2.13.
NOTE:
As per FAR 121, RII staff must be approved by the operator. Ensure that such staffs are
appropriately trained and approved per RSQM 3.7 before they perform required inspections.
Discrepancies resulting from RII inspections must be re-inspected by an RII authorized individual.
When performing this buy-back inspection, if the RII inspector is not satisfied with the corrective
action a new discrepancy will be generated by that inspector. In such cases the resulting (new)
discrepancy must also be bought back by an RII authorized individual.
Instructions and procedures are established to prevent inspection decisions from being
countermanded by persons other than supervisory personnel of the Inspection Department or a
person at the level of administrative control that has overall responsibility for the management of
both the required inspection functions and other maintenance functions.
An authorized inspector's decision regarding inspection items can only be countermanded by
supervisory personnel of the Inspection Department.

The material planning and procurement will arrange for the provision of the right materials in the
right place and at the right time at reasonably cost for aircraft, engine and components
maintenance.
Having the right material in the right place at the right time requires an understanding of GMF
complete supply chain from consumption of the part for maintenance back through to the time
that the use of the part was forecasted. All functions mentioned in this procedure are required to
implement the requirements of this chart.
Purchase

a) The material planning function will manage inventories by anticipating their use and
production planning. Such anticipatory approach to inventory is to maintain the safety stock
levels and the turnover ratio.
b) For Components and Mandatory 100% replacement items, the Planning Engineering bears
the responsibility to determine routine material quality/ specification requirements and
quantity required based on confirmed contracts, customers' work orders and maintenance
manual requirements.
c) The material planning function will utilize the ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) system
(e.g.: SAP) to control the inventories. The ERP system will be updated on regular basis to
ensure a current material planning system is in place. A means to accurately update the ERP
system is to predict as accurate as possible the material required to cover the following
three months production schedules while low cost material (expendables) are always
available to handle unforeseen rectification.
RSQM 1.7 and 2.22 describes the procedure for the determination of the manpower required for
the execution of maintenance as well as manpower availability.
This chapter gives instructions for considering human factors performance and limitations when
the production and PPC managers plan the maintenance tasks and the production managers
organize the shifts for the execution of maintenance.
The production and support managers must consider the following requirement when they
assign personnel to work day shift:
▪ In an eight hours day shift, two breaks of accumulative one hour will be made. When
overtime is used, it may not be more than fourteen (14) hours per week.
II. Assigning manpower for second shift work - Guidelines to design a shift system
There are some general guidelines for decreasing the effects of shift work:
b) The amount of off-time should increase as does the number of consecutive workdays and
the length of the work shifts increase;
c) A shift system should aim to maximize the amount of off-time between work shifts;
d) The length of a work shift should be dependent on the type of tasks being performed and
workload on the job. Critical tasks will be planned on day shift whenever possible;
The PPC prioritizes and distributes the job cards as per daily controlled schedules (RSQM 2.28.5)
using the daily menu. This daily menu gives to maintenance personnel an overview of what job
cards have been accomplished, what will be accomplished and what Job Cards are still open. The
status of the work in progress is controlled by the data base system. The same requirements
apply for defects rectification using MDR (see Section 2.15).
Production meeting takes place at regular intervals headed by the project manager. Participants
will discuss the progress of the maintenance, bring up quality and production problems and
define corrective actions to bring the program in track. The customer representative will
participate in the meeting.
All Senior Managers & Managers are responsible to assign only qualified personnel to perform
maintenance and inspections including required inspections. No one person is allowed to
perform unsupervised work other than that allowed by his certificate of competency (C of C) or his
authorization. In addition, in order for the personnel to properly perform their maintenance tasks,
they should have available in close proximity and follow without deviation the:
Amendments means adding maintenance tasks and or deleting some tasks previously planned for
incorporation. In either case the customer will communicate any amendments using the GMF
Form GMF/Q -028. The customer must state in this form what is to be added or deleted, sign it as
appropriate and hand it over to the project manager or to PPC (if project manager is not being
assigned).
The project Manager or the PPC is responsible to assign a control number of each amendment
and control the number of amendments issued. For additions, he will process each amendment to
the planning engineer for the development of the appropriate maintenance documents and also
to customer service for billing.
For the deletions, he will hand over a copy to certifying staff. The certifying staff will evaluate if
any airworthiness requirements are violated and he will proceed as per section 3.9. At the end of
the maintenance, all amendments will be handed over to certifying staff to determine appropriate
incorporation.
I. Defining the daily works (daily menu) based on the pre-established daily schedules &
Control Room Operations
The PPC controllers, project & program managers, QC manager and productions manager will be
part of the control room team having their responsibility to perform the following on a daily basis:
a) Monitoring the daily work ensuring problems have been identified at the early stages and
correcting them as soon as possible;
b) Ensuring the daily work is finished as planed and meets quality targets;
c) Obtaining evidence that all maintenance and inspection operations have been completed
as planned;
d) Defining contingency plans and applying as necessary;
e) Scheduling the next shift or next day production and ensuring it will be carried out under
controlled conditions. Controlled conditions shall include as applicable the following:
▪ The job cards and non-routine cards for execution;
▪ The applicable drawing and other approved maintenance data;
▪ The establishment of process controls for the next day by identifying the key inspection
points;
▪ Determining manpower and skills based on the above requirements and considering
human factors;
▪ Determining tools and material needed;
▪ Monitoring and controlling the utilities and supplies such as compressed air, electricity
and chemical products, to extend they may affect product quality.
II. Scheduling of safety-critical tasks during periods when staff are likely to be most alert
The production managers will make any effort to minimize the impact of fatigue by:
▪ Allocating more critical tasks during day shifts when staff are likely to be more alert;
▪ Ensuring that appropriate checks are carried out after night shift work;
▪ Breaking up lengthy repetitive tasks into smaller tasks, with breaks in between;
▪ Consider the human performance limitations as instructed in RSQM chapter 2.28.3
The production and PPC Manager will make any effort possible so that the safety critical tasks as
per RSQM 2.23 as well as those tasks which are given by the operators as RII tasks to be performed
on the day shift.

When the letter or agreement is present, the certifying staff will issue a certificate of release to
service (CRS), provided the deferred defects are within the limits of the operator's maintenance
program as approved by their operator's authority. The certifying staff will identify the defects not
rectified on the CRS and he will also identify on the CRS specific actions required by the operator
related to the deferred defect.
NOTE:
The certifying staff prior to issuing CRS must ensure that the deferred item is within the operator's
limitations.
When such an agreement or letter is not present, or the letter/agreement does not identify the
Authority for such action, or the deferred item is not included in the operators maintenance
program the certifying staff will inform the VP for Quality Assurance & Safety for further actions.
The VP for Quality Assurance & Safety will conduct the operator's Authority to clarify whether a CRS
must be issued indicating the defects not rectified. A non-compliance with an AD Note on due is to
be reported to Authority as well.
The technical log will be completed as required by each operator. Usually the Aircraft technical log
contains the release to service statement as required by each Authority.
The release of the aircraft has to be done as per section 2.16 of this RSQM.
Primarily, the operator is responsible for the supply of his own components for the installation of
his aircraft. When the customer wants to use GMF AeroAsia parts, the following will apply:
a) The supplied item must meet the minimum available service time required by customer. Each
loan/pool item will be in serviceable condition identified as per RSQM 2.1.2.1.
b) The certifying staff will ensure that the component/part is compatible for installation to the
next higher assembly.
L2.6 LINE PROCEDURE FOR RETURN OF DEFECTIVE PARTS REMOVED FROM AIRCRAFT
L2.6.1 Line Maintenance Procedures for Returning of Defective Parts Removed from Aircraft
After the operator returned the loaned components to GMF AeroAsia the following will apply by an
appropriate certifying staff:
a) Check the shipping ticket/tag issued by the operator and record the operating time of the
component while in use by the operator;
b) Depending on the component involved, it may require overhaul bench-check or repair. Sum
up the accumulating hours/cycles and take the appropriate actions;
c) Check the received component for any obvious damage;
d) Perform a visual inspection and if necessary a functional check to determine serviceability of
the component.
e) If applicable to the component involved, check filters and magnetic plugs and verify possible
contamination. If chips and other metallic particles found, consider the need for disassembly
and inspection as necessary to determine further defects.
L2.6.2 Inspection and Disposition of Components Removed from the Operator's Aircraft.
Upon removal of a component, the authorized certifying staff will perform and record the following:
NOTE:
1. The serviceable tag MUST indicate the remaining operating time since overhaul.
2. The removed component must be installed on an aircraft under the same Authority of aircraft
registration. It is not allowed for a component removed from PK registered aircraft, for
example, to be installed on a “N” registered aircraft unless GMF AeroAsia holds the approval
rating for the Authority of A/C registration for the specific component and an authorized
certifying staff inspects the component and issues the appropriate airworthiness approval tag
or release certificate.
Critical tasks are defined those tasks which the past experience has shown the possibility of an error
being repeated to reassemble aircraft components after removal especially when several identical
aircraft components are to be fitted to more that one system of the same aircraft. Examples of
such possible errors could be the possibility of failure to reinstall engine oil filters, gearbox access
covers, engine borescope access ports, etc
The performance of items identified by the operator maintenance program as critical/difficult task
will be in accordance with the operator requirements and Section 2.23 of this manual.
When only one person is available to carry out these same tasks then the job card should include an
additional stage for re-inspection of the work by the person after completion of all the same task
and that person must have current Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License appropriate to the type
of aircraft being maintained.

3.1.1 General
The Quality Assurance & Safety will plan and implement independent quality audits to verify
whether quality activities and related results comply with planned arrangements, determine the
effectiveness of the quality system to ensure it can deliver a safe product and that GMF AeroAsia
remains in compliance with the requirements.
Records of quality audits and the corrective actions will be kept for at least 2 (two) years from the
date of the finding is closed.
An audit schedule will be developed to include all workstations and ensure that all procedures
are scheduled at least once a year. The schedule will be periodically adjusted on the basis of the
status and importance of the activity to be audited. That means some workstations with
significant non-compliances will be audited more than one time a year.
An audit checklist will be developed covering the Authority requirements and quality related
procedures (applicable for audited work station). The audit checklist together with the audit
results will become the audit report for each workstation.
Audits schedule will include audits during the night for those workstations that work at night,
which will be randomly selected.
The Quality Assurance & Safety will raise a report each time an audit is carried out describing what
has been checked and the findings against applicable requirements, procedures and products.
The report including corrective action request will be sent to the audited department(s) for
corrective actions. The audited department(s) shall reply the audit report within the time specified
on the audit report. The corrective actions plan including the date of implementations will be
submitted to Quality Assurance & Safety for acceptance.
The results of the quality audits will be an integral part of the input to management review
activities. The Quality Assurance & Safety will keep a log of recurrent significant non-compliance
and will be brought to the attention of the senior management during the management review.
The lead auditor who reports directly to VP for Quality Assurance & Safety and is independent of
those who have direct responsibility for the activity as well as the activity being audited shall carry
out the internal quality audits.
The VP for Quality Assurance & Safety shall ensure that the number of auditing personnel is
sufficient to carry out the audits, raise finding reports and perform follow up activities to verify
that findings being rectified are in accordance with applicable requirements and effective.

The auditor will witness any relevant testing and visually and dimensionally as appropriate and
will inspect the component and the associated documentation.
Aircraft audits will be performed once a year for each aircraft type inducted for base maintenance
and line stations. The following hangars and line stations will subject to aircraft audit:
To be effective, the audit for aircraft will be accomplished through the whole maintenance
process at different periods and maintenance phases. When product audit is performed on
aircraft, the audit may be extended to the shops where components are repaired for installation
onto aircraft being audited.
The product audits will be planned and performed as required by the QP 301-01. Product audit
records will be kept by the Quality Assurance & Safety for two years from the date of clearance of
the findings.
When non-conformity is found, it will automatically come to the attention of the responsible
function for immediate corrective action before further maintenance is performed.
The VP for Quality Assurance & Safety - primarily responsible for the audit process - will initiate
immediate actions when a serious deficiency in the quality system has been found having an
impact on product quality. This may require stopping the production until significant non-
conformities corrected. He will sign the 'Immediate Action Notice' (form No GMF/Q-073) and will
be submitted to the audited manager responsible for the deficiency found.
The audited VP - primarily responsible for the audited function - will initiate all actions necessary

performance of a required inspection is restricted to an RII authorized person who was not
involved in the performance of the work to be inspected.
The RII personnel must be present at the work site to physically verify the work performed by the
mechanics and effectively inspect all points related to the RII.
Any Required Inspection that could not be completed by the RII inspector as a result of a shift
change or other work interruption must be adequately turned over to the next RII inspector,
through written and verbal communications.
Available to all RII personnel will be the operator's maintenance program, current specifications
involving inspection tolerances, limits, and procedures as set forth by manufacturer of the
product undergoing inspection and other forms of inspection information such as airworthiness
directives, manufacturers bulletins, etc.
The RII personnel report to Quality Assurance for the performance of the required inspection
items. They are responsible to:
NOTE:
