<strong>CIVIL</strong> <strong>AVIATION</strong> <strong>DEPARTMENT</strong><strong>HONG</strong> <strong>KONG</strong>, CHINAAirworthiness Notice1 IntroductionMAINTENANCE ERROR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSNo. 71Issue 330 September 20061.1 Revision 4 to HKAR-145 requirements introduced paragraph HKAR 145.60 –Occurrence reporting system, to require HKAR-145 organisations to"establish an internal occurrence reporting system acceptable to the Director-General to enable the collection and evaluation of such reports, [that haveresulted or may result, in an unsafe condition]. This procedure shall identifyadverse trends, corrective actions taken or to be taken by the organisation toaddress deficiencies and include evaluation of all known relevant informationrelating to such occurrences and a method to circulate the information asnecessary." The Director-General seeks to provide an environment in whichsuch errors may be openly investigated in order that the contributing factorsand root causes of maintenance errors can be addressed using a system thatwould complement, not supplant, the current system for reporting maintenanceerrors (MOR Scheme).Note:Square brackets [ ] denote CAD insertion.1.2 The Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) Scheme exists in order thatsignificant safety issues are brought to the notice of the Director-General.However, the MOR Scheme is not intended to collect and monitor the normalflow of day-to-day defects/incidents etc. which, in remaining an industryresponsibility, forms an important part of the overall operational safety task.This Notice concerns, primarily, those events which fall below the MORcriteria but which, nevertheless, are important for an organisation tounderstand and control. However, the principles described in this Noticemay also be applied by an organisation to their own internal investigation ofincidents meeting the MOR criteriaNote:Organisations will still be required to report MOR to the Director-General.1.3 Maintenance errors with serious consequences such as accidents or incidentsare routinely investigated by organisations, the Director-General or theAccident Investigation Division of Civil Aviation Department. Otheroperationally significant events (e.g. technical delays, cancellations, etc.) maynot be legally required to be reported externally but are frequently investigatedAN-71 P.130 September 2006
