DEFINITION AND INTERPRETATION OF TERMSD7. AIRWORTHY:D7.1 The status of an aircraft, engine, propeller or part when it conforms to its approveddesign and is in a condition for safe operation.D8. ANTICIPATED OPERATING CONDITIONS:D8.1 Those conditions which are known from experience or which can be reasonablyenvisaged to occur during the operational life of the aircraft taking into account theoperations for which the aircraft is made eligible, the conditions so considered beingrelative to the meteorological state of the atmosphere, to the configuration of terrain, tothe functioning of the aircraft, to the efficiency of personnel and to all the factors affectingsafety in flight. Anticipated operating conditions do not include:D8.1.1 those extremes which can be effectively avoided by means of operatingprocedures; andD8.1.2 those extremes which occur so infrequently that to require the Standards to bemet in such extremes would give a higher level of airworthiness than experiencehas shown to be necessary and practical.D9. APPROPRIATE AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS:D9.1 The comprehensive and detailed airworthiness codes established, adopted or acceptedby PCAA for the class of aircraft, engine or propeller under consideration.D10. APPROVED:D10.1 Accepted by PCAA as suitable for a particular purpose.D11. ASSEMBLY:D11.1 That items are put together fitted, assembled, attached, installed, connected, secured oradjusted correctly in the approved manner.D12. CATEGORY A:D12.1 With respect to helicopters, means a multi-engine helicopter designed with engine andsystem isolation features specified in Part IVB of Annex-8 and capable of operations usingtake-off and landing data scheduled under a critical engine failure concept which assuresadequate designated surface area and adequate performance capability for continuedsafe flight or safe rejected take-off.D13. CATEGORY B:D13.1 With respect to helicopters, means a single-engine or multi-engine helicopter which doesnot meet Category A standards. Category B helicopters have no guaranteed capability tocontinue safe flight in the event of an engine failure, and a forced landing is assumed.D14. CERTIFICATE OF MAINTENANCE REVIEW:D14.1 This certificate is issued as per approved maintenance schedule certifying that:D14.2 All maintenance specified in the approved maintenance schedule has been carried outwithin the prescribed time period.17/03/2011 Page 2 of 10 AWNOT-017-AWRG-2.1
DEFINITION AND INTERPRETATION OF TERMSD14.3 All modifications and inspections classified as Mandatory by PCAA have been carriedout within the prescribed time periods.D14.4 All reported defects have been rectified or deferred as per PCAA approved procedures.D14.5 All Certificates of Release to Service required have been issued as per PCAArequirements.D15. CERTIFICATE OF RELEASE TO SERVICE:D15.1 This certificate is issued after inspection, repair, overhaul, modification and replacementon aircraft, its engines, propellers, components, instruments and radios and theirinstallation as is necessary for the Airworthiness of the aircraft.D16. CONDITION:D16.1 The physical state of an item.D17. CONFIGURATION (AS APPLIED TO THE AEROPLANE):D17.1 A particular combination of the positions of the moveable elements, such as wing flapsand landing gear, etc., that affect the aerodynamic characteristics of the aeroplane.D18. CONTINUING AIRWORTHINESS:D18.1 The set of processes by which an aircraft, engine, propeller or part complies with theapplicable airworthiness requirements and remains in a condition for safe operationthroughout its operating life.D19. CRITICAL ENGINE(S):D19.1 Any engine whose failure gives the most adverse effect on the aircraft characteristicsrelative to the case under consideration.Note.— On some aircraft there may be more than one equally critical engine. In this case, theexpression “the critical engine” means one of those critical engines.D20. DEFECT:D20.1 Defect means a condition existing in an aircraft (including its systems) or aircraftcomponent arising from any cause other than damage, which would preclude it oranother aircraft component from performing their intended functions or would reduce theexpected service life of the aircraft or aircraft component.D20.1.1 Major defect: means a defect of such nature that reduces the safety of theaircraft or its occupants and includes defects discovered as a result of theoccurrence of any emergency or in the course of normal operation ormaintenance.D20.1.2 Repetitive defect: means a defect in an aircraft (including in its componentsand system) which recurs, in spite of rectification attempt, on the same aircraftor on another aircraft of the same type.17/03/2011 Page 3 of 10 AWNOT-017-AWRG-2.1
