A somewhat confusing issue here is whose rules apply. The order is this.
The Aircraft Manufacturer over-rules everyone. If procedures are setup
for testing any of these systems by the Aircraft Manufacturer, they take
precedence. Examples are pitot static systems, RVSM tolerances, or ADC
performance testing. If the Aircraft Manufacturer has not covered the ground
in published procedures, then the Appliance Manufacturer's procedures take
precedence. Examples of this are Air Data Computers. Both Honeywell-Sperry
and Rockwell-Collins have procedures for recertification of their ADC's
on the aircraft, and so save you considerable money and time if you have
the test equipment to accomplish it. Lastly, the requirements of the FAA
and which precisely and equivalently TCCA have copied, remain. They are
the minimum. In some few cases the totality of a 24 month recert requires
some of each. Those on Progressive Maintenance Programs will usually have
all the bases covered. Additional Note - often the progressive programs
seldom coordinate multiple systems and auxiliary aspects of air data testing.
Examples are stby altimeter, alternate static, speed sensors, drains. |
