Company Operations Manual
Chapter 4 § Operational Control System
§ if a defect is deferred, the aircraft information, item block, the defect, reason for deferral, airframe or
calendar time when defect must be rectified, along with signature of the person deferring the defect and
date will be entered on the Deferred Defect List. The Deferred Defect List shall be attached to the Journey
Log;
§ when the defect is corrected, the details and date of the rectification will be entered and the signature
block signed by the AME who rectified the defect. The details of the maintenance action will be entered in
the technical log and the maintenance release statement made on the current page of the Journey Log;
§ no defect may be deferred beyond the next scheduled check except defects of a minor nature such as
small tears in upholstery and small paint defects. If a deferred defect is carried over after a scheduled
check, the defect will be re-inspected to ensure it is still acceptable to be deferred and this inspection
entered in the journey log. Deferred Defect Lists shall be numbered sequentially; and,
§ if a defect results in an unserviceable system, and that defect is deferred, the unserviceable system will be
disabled and placarded clearly.
4.19.4 Recurring Defects
A recurring defect is one which is repeated 3 times on a particular aircraft within 15 flights. Anytime a defect is
reported, the PRM will review both the deferred defects list and previous log pages to determine if the defect (or
any related defect) has been reported previously. All recurring defects must be the subject of a special
investigation by the PRM. Aircraft which are subject to a special investigation for a recurring defect shall not be
returned to service until released by the PRM.

regulations and some publications.
While the Operations Manager is responsible for the library, the chief pilot is delegated with ensuring the currency
of the library and the integrity of the website links used for easy on-line access.
