CDQAR Study Guide

CDQAR Study Guide What is the difference between a CDI and CDQAR? - CDQAR's are assigned to production work centers when needed to supplement QA levels of inspection What are some types of audits, and when are they required? - Work center, special, and program audit. Work center and program audits are required at least every 12 months, whereas special audits are conducted as necessary. What is an FCF and when is it required? - Functional check flights are used to determine whether the airframe, power plants, accessories and equipment are functioning per predetermined standards while subjected to the intended operating environment. These checks are performed when unable to do it on ground, such as aerodynamic reaction, air loading, or signal propagation. They are required when: 1. Received from rework 2. Acceptance of new aircraft 3. Replacement/reinstallation of engines, helicopter engine drive train, transmissions, drive shafts, rotors, gearboxes, power plants, major fuel system component 4. Phase MRC decks outline what's required 5. 30-day no-fly 6. When outlined in NATOPS 7. When fixed or movable flight surfaces have been replaced/reinstalled 8. When two or more components applicable to attitude indications have been removed/replaced/adjusted How would you know if a certain maintenance procedure requires an FCF? - 4790 ch5; NATOPS; JWI 3500.1A; Vibe 100/200 manuals; IETMS What are the different types of FCF profiLES and what do they cover? - A, B, C, D A. Full systems check B. Engine checks C. Controllability/drive train checks D. AFCS Can a step be skipped on an FCF checklist? Who has to agree? - Yes, steps can be skipped. The attending QAR, maintenance control, and the FCP must agree on what can be skipped. Who signs off on an FCF as being complete? - Maintenance control, the FCP, and the QAO. If the QAO is the FCP, who can sign the checklist? - Another FCP In the absence of the QAO, who can sign the checklist for the QAO in their place? - Another FCP, designated by the MO How long are FCF checklists retained? - Minimum of 6 months or one phase cycle, whichever is greater What is the purpose of a TD? - Inspection or alteration of the aircraft and/or related subsystems and components What are the four categories of TD's? - Immediate Action - conditions embody risks calculated to be unacceptable; potential cause of fatal or serious injury to personnel, severe damage to valuable property Urgent Action - could cause damage to valuable property or serious injury to personnel; risks calculated to be acceptable within specified time and performance limits Routine - assigned to retrofit changes when assignment
