9 PAGE 1.1 SECTION I INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM

10 INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM PAGE 1.2 Receiving/Incoming Parts, Materials and Shelf Life All incoming materials will be checked by a qualified Inspector when received from manufacturers, supply houses and applicable vendors. He / She will determine that they conform to purchase orders, manufacturer specifications, drawings or dimension and specifications. Parts shall be checked for shipping damage, deterioration, corrosion, rust and other defects. Qualified Inspectors will have access to required applicable current technical data so that they may determine whether items are found to be acceptable to current regulations. The Repair Station uses two different stamps in records. The Incoming Parts / Material stamp is used to approve and date all incoming parts / equipment and is applied to packing slips. The stamp is illustrated in Section II on page 2.2 of this manual. A record of all rejected articles will be made on the Parts Inspection Rejection Form located in the repair facility. Rejected articles will be properly tagged and segregated from acceptable articles. These items will be segregated and secured in the General Manager/Accountable Managers office. When incoming parts or materials are received, the cure date of the material having shelf life shall be noted, and the older stock shall be used first, provided it is not beyond the manufacturer s specifications. Incoming parts will be checked for any contamination that might have happened in shipping. Parts will be properly shelved to avoid any cross contamination of those parts and/or materials. In an event of contamination, such parts and/or materials will be segregated from the system and either returned to the sender or disposed of appropriately. Various types of data used to accept incoming parts or materials are as follows: (1) Verification that the parts received were produced under some type of FAA approved process with traceability. (2) Documented Airworthiness release or approval for return to service record by an appropriately certificated entity. (3) Parts produced for which a replacement time, inspection interval, or related procedure is specified in the Airworthiness Limitations section must have been permanently marked with part number and serial number (or equivalent) under FAR Part 45 subpart B. (4) Review of shipping tickets, packing slips, purchase orders, other PAH documents or markings identifying the approved manufacturer of that part / material. (5) FAA Form : Airworthiness Approval Tag. (6) FAA-PMA marking in accordance with section (7) FAA TSO markings in accordance with Sections and Hardware, Equipment, and Materials All parts, materials and supplies shall be stored and segregated properly to assure the preservation of these articles or parts. To assure they are not compromised and/or subjected to deterioration or shelf life expiration in accordance with manufacturer s storage requirements. Only acceptable parts and supplies shall be issued for a job. When a part is deemed as unserviceable, the part will be destroyed by cutting, crushing or any other means required to make certain that the item can no longer be used for any means of return to service.

11 INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM (continued) PAGE 1.3 Preliminary Inspection This inspection is annotated, when completed, by a qualified Inspector on the Work Order Discrepancy Form. As part of the Preliminary Inspection process, proper documentation will be verified, life limits, AD s and Service Bulletins as applicable. All articles undergoing maintenance will be inspected by a Repair Station Inspector to determine state of preservation (functional test if appropriate) and noting any non conformities. Any or traceability documentation will be kept with either the work order/aircraft repair that proves that the part is a qualified/approved component to be used in aircraft repair. The results will be noted on the Parts Inspection Rejection Form found on page 2.17 of this manual prior to returning the article to the vender. If a component is found to be damaged, that component will be removed and segregated with a Red Reject tag (Found on page 2.8 of this manual). All maintenance and alterations determined necessary, will be performed in accordance with methods, techniques and practices acceptable to the Administrator. Hidden Damage Inspection This inspection is annotated, when completed, by a qualified Inspector on the Work Order Discrepancy Form. All articles that have been involved in an accident will be given a searching inspection by a Repair Station Inspector for hidden damage. This inspection will include areas adjacent to damaged structure and / or components. The result of this inspection will be recorded on appropriate work order forms, which will accompany the article until released to service. If a component is found to be damaged, that component will be removed and segregated with a Red Reject tag (Found on page 2.8 of this manual). All maintenance and alterations will be performed in accordance with methods, techniques and practices acceptable to the Administrator. In Process Inspection This inspection is annotated, when completed, by a qualified Inspector on the Work Order Discrepancy Form. A Repair Station Inspector will perform an in process inspection after disassembling and cleaning, during build-up and assembly. This will include tests and calibration when appropriate. The results will be entered on the work order discrepancy sheet and work order invoice, and will remain with the article until release to service. If a component is found to be damaged, that component will be removed and segregated with a Red Reject tag (Found on page 2.8 of this manual). All maintenance and alterations will be performed in accordance with methods, techniques and practices acceptable to the Administrator. When any shelf life items are required to be used, the cure date of the material having shelf life shall be verified prior to use. Suspected Unapproved Parts Reporting If during the various internal inspection steps set forth in Premier Aviation s Inspection System find that a Suspected Unapproved part has been found, that part shall be immediately removed from the Installation/Repair facilities normal storage area and segregated to a holding area so that the item or items actual condition can be determined by the Chief Avionics Inspector. The item or items that were suspected must not be returned to normal production use until the Inspector has released those items to a Return to Service condition. If such item or items have been found to been Unapproved in a Defective state, then the Inspector shall fill out the appropriate information on a Malfunction and Defect report. Information pertaining to the Malfunction and Defect report are contained in the Malfunction and Defects Reporting section found on page 1.4 in this manual.

12 PAGE 1.4 INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM (continued) Malfunction and Defects Reporting This Repair Station will report to the FAA within 72 hours after it discovers any serious defect in, or other recurring un-airworthy condition of, an aircraft, avionics equipment or avionics appliance, or any component of any of them. The report will be made by visiting the FAA website and completing an SDR (Service Difficulty Report) using the online form for reporting such M&D information. This form will be completed in full as required by the online form questions. This form has online help instructions on how to complete the form correctly. In any case, where the filing of a report under the preceding paragraph might prejudice the Repair Station, it will be referred to the Administrator for determination as to whether it must be reported. If the defect or malfunction could result in an imminent hazard to flight, the Repair Station will use the most expeditious method it can to inform the Administrator. Parts and Unit Storage/Segregation (a) All parts or units under the control of the repair station will be segregated, identified and classified. Classifications are: serviceable, repairable, and rejected. Any part or unit classification may be segregated and identified by appropriate tagging, and secured in the Accountable Managers office for disposition. Samples of tags utilized at this facility can be found on page 2.7 and 2.8: Red: Reject Green: Repairable Yellow: Serviceable- May Include maintenance release Work Order - A company work order identified by number, customer s name, date and identity of part(s) that will be utilized. This form will contain a description of all work to be accomplished in sufficient detail to be readily understood. Space will be provided for the identification of the certified person performing or supervising the work and the inspector approving the work. A sample work order can be found on pages 2.5. Record of Specialized Inspection, Test and / or Calibration Specific notations, attesting accomplishment, will be made on appropriate printed work forms for recording specialized inspection, testing and / or calibration of a component or aircraft. Record of Inspections Where a record of the inspection by dimensions, tests or calibration is required by the manufacturer s technical data such a record will be made on the appropriate form properly identified with the work order. It must also be dated and signed by the repairman performing the inspection, tests or calibration and / or the inspector as appropriate. A sample form may be found on page 2.6 of this manual.

13 PAGE 1.5 INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM (continued) Continuity of Inspection Responsibility In the event that any technician is unable to perform any inspection or continue with an in progress installation for reasons such as; sickness, vacation, unavailable for work, etc., it will be the responsibility of the technician to start and finish such inspection. This will ensure that no inspection is partially done and missing data from such inspection. In the event that a particular project has been started by any delegated technician, that technician will complete that project for final inspection. The technician performing the work may pass delegation and responsibility back to the Chief Avionics Inspector, Avionics Inspector, or Inspector so long as proper communication between both parties allows information and full details as to what status such project is at and what is required to complete such project. If direct communication between the parties is not possible, then the technician that will continue the project will determine as to what work has been done and what remaining work needs to be done to complete the project. Premier Avionics currently does not work in multiple shifts. A shift log is not utilized by our company. Final Inspection and Approval for Return to Service This inspection is annotated, when completed, on the Work Order Discrepancy Form. Prior to approval for return to service, the Chief Avionics Inspector will audit the records package as identified by the work order, to determine that all work has been inspected as required for compliance with this inspection system and applicable FAR. When approval has been given to the above audit, either the Chief Avionics Inspector or the individual authorized in the official roster and individual summary of employment will approve the article for return to service. This approval will be accomplished as appropriate to the work done, the article involved, the records available with the article, and the instructions of the customer. Care will be exercised to comply with FAR Part 43 in every case. Whenever the aircraft records (log) are available, record of work accomplished will be entered in that record otherwise the records will be rendered to the customer. This does not waive and FAR Part 145 records requirements. Neither will FAR Part 43 or FAR Part 91 be considered waived by FAR Part 145 records requirements. Articles such as appliances, accessories, and individual parts or components will not have an individual record to which an entry may be added. However, the installation of these items on an aircraft constitutes an aircraft maintenance or alteration, and records must be made accordingly. Personnel shall check to see that manuals utilized for the return to service process are of the most current revision available to them. Routinely, major repair approvals will be handled in accordance with Section 43.9 and/or. A maintenance release is completed as part of the work order form at the time of approval for return to service. At the request of the customer (to be indicated on

14 PAGE 1.6 INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM (continued) Final Inspection and Approval for Return to Service (cont) the work order when originated) FAA Form 337 will be completed instead of the maintenance release approval for return to service in accordance with the procedure in paragraph (a) of FAR Part 43, Appendix B. In all cases where major alterations are involved, FAA Form 337 will be completed per FAR 43.9 and FAR 43, Appendix B. The authorized supervisor in whose work area the repair of alteration is accomplished will be responsible for establishing that the repair or alteration was made in accordance with the requirements of FAR Part 43 and will sign the conformity statement of FAA Form 337. Authorized personnel responsible for the approval for return to service of aircraft will indicate such approval by signing the approval for return to service of FAA Form 337. The original FAA Form 337 will be inserted in the aircraft record with 1 copy forwarded to the appropriate FAA Flight Standards District Office, within 48 hours, and one copy retained with the aircraft work order. It is the responsibility of the person authorizing return to service to assure that the aircraft flight manual is properly revised following any alteration or modification to the aircraft and that the weight and balance record and aircraft equipment list have been amended as necessary. Aircraft components, appliances, and other items, as authorized by the Repair Station specifications, will be returned to service through the use of a maintenance release pre-printed on the FAA Form described in Section II, page 2.9 of this manual. The authorized supervisor under whose jurisdiction the work is accomplished will be responsible for the release of units in the category. No aircraft may be released for return to service until the work order and other records have been reviewed for completeness and final acceptance cleared by inspection. Particular attention shall be accorded the status of applicable airworthiness directives. All applicable Inspections shall be signed off on the lower section of the Work Order (found on page 2.5 of this manual) as each Inspection has been performed during the job process. Maintenance and Repairs are accomplished in accordance with approved and acceptable data. Major alterations will be recorded on an FAA form 337 as approved. All Maintenance will be recorded in accordance with FAR 43.9 and/or of the FAR s as applicable.
