FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Canada
Double or Triple Maintenance Release?
QUESTION: Can an approved maintenance organization or distributor issue a part with a triple maintenance release, i.e. against Transport Canada Civil Aviation, Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency requirements? ANSWER: In the TCCA Aviation Safety Letter Issue 3/2012, this question is addressed. TCCA noted that some organizations hold EASA Part 145 approvals as well as FAA and Canadian approvals for repairing aeronautical products. They have often certified the work performed on an authorized release certificate with all three regulatory references so the customers could install the item on a wide variety of aircraft or distribute them to a broader customer base. TCCA stated the issue with this practice isn’t that the organization does not have the authority; it’s more a technicality within the international agreements. The agreements are bilateral between parties such as Canada and EASA, or EASA and the FAA; they are not trilateral. Therefore, the agreements were never intended to be applied at the same time, which means the application of all three approvals on one authorized release certificate would not be appropriate or acceptable. This also is evident when examining the authorized release certificate forms or templates (e.g. TCCA Form 1) recognized by TCCA, the FAA or EASA. None allows for more than two regulatory references, because the document is intended to be used with a maximum of two parties. TCCA advised that if an organization wishes to maintain this flexibility within its spares pool, it must be specified on the work order that the repair organization issue separate authorized release certificates in order to respect international agreements. q
