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 TCCA have precisely 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 - progressive maintenance programs seldom coordinate
multiple systems and auxiliary aspects of air data testing. Examples are
stby altimeter, alternate static, speed sensors, drains. |
