Purpose
A check flight may be required due to aircraft Type-Certificate holders scheduled maintenance
requirement, major modifications or major repairs affecting the aircraft performance or inability
to verify serviceability of aircraft by ground tests.
Note that the instructions for continued airworthiness (Aircraft Maintenance Manual) for many
of today manufactured aircrafts are based on the policy that no post-maintenance check flights
are required.
Still then in certain circumstances like during troubleshooting and after aircraft major repairs,
modifications, refurbishment, build-up or engine replacements a maintenance check flight is a
common procedure to test the aircraft in flight condition..
If required, Mega Maldives Airlines CAMO is responsible to request a check flight from AMO
and pilots, to specify check flight items and to issue a release to service (CRS) for
maintenance check flight.
The purpose of the policy and procedures described below is to establish the method by which
the need for a check flight is assessed and check flights are performed.
Mega Maldoves Airlines CAMO has decided that check flights are required if the aircraft
has undergone:
a) a design modification as to affect the flight characteristics or the functioning in flight of the
aircraft,
b) structural repairs which could affect flight characteristics,
c) a double engine change,
d) when all the primary flight controls in either roll, yaw or pitch are disturbed, or
e) 4C checks per Maldives CAA approved Maintenance Programme
1.13.2.
Responsibility
Check flights will be coordinated between PCA, Flight Ops post holder, Chief Pilot and
organization performing maintenance.
1.13.3.
When a check flight is required, a check flight programme will be prepared on a case by
case basis by the Flight Ops post holder, Chief Pilot, PCA and Manager Quality Systems.

The programme will be based on the relevant UK CAA aircraft flight test schedule (AFTS)
document for the aircraft type concerned and will include items deemed appropriate in
respect of the maintenance carried out on the aircraft.
The check Flight programme must be approved by the Flight Operations post holder.
The check flight form numbers are given in CAME Part 5, paragraph 5.14
1.13.4.
Note that prior to check flight, release to service (CRS) for maintenance check flight shall
be written on aircraft technical log
1.13.5.
Check flights must be conducted within the limits of the approved Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) as well with the general operating procedures prescribed in Mega Maldives Airlines
Operation Manual (if applicable).
Tests to be conducted exceeding the AFM limitations must be co-ordinated with the CAA.
Complete and partial test flight criteria are normally found in Type-Certificate holders
Maintenance Manual and approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM).
Before carrying out a check flight it must be ensured by the MMA CAMO that all
inspections, defect rectifications and ground testing has been carried out to ensure the safe
conduct of the check flight.
On test flights, only additional pilots, inspectors of the CAA (if reqired), maintenance
technicians of the Mega Maldives Airlines AMO or maintenance contractor all fulfilling a
specific duty on board, will be accepted.
Check flights will be performed by Technical Pilot in accordance with check flight program
prepared as per CAME paragraph 1.13.3
1.13.6.
Pilot Qualification
To ensure that appropriate levels of safety are maintained, check flights will be conducted
by pilots who have satisfactory experience with the appropriate check flight schedule, and
have received adequate familiarisation of check flight techniques and safety precautions.
It is necessary that the pilot concerned fully understands the significance and intent of the
tests, as well as the techniques used to minimise the risk associated with some tests.
Check flights will only be performed by pilots listed in Mega Maldives Airlines operations
manual, if applicable, or authorised by the CAA.

QUALITY SYSTEM
2.1
This Part Two of MEGA Maldives CAME defines the continuing airworthiness quality policy, planning and
procedures to meet the requirements of MCAR-M Subpart G. The Quality System and associated Quality
Assurance Programme enables monitoring of compliance with MCAR-M, the Continuing Airworthiness
Management Exposition, and any other standards specified by the Maldives CAA, to ensure safe
operations and airworthy aircraft. The MMA CAMO quality management system is combined with the Mega
Global Air Services (Maldives) Pvt. Ltd. MCAR-145 approved Aircraft Maintenance Organisation (MMA
AMO) Quality System (MOE Part 3) and Mega Global Air Services (Maldives) Pvt. Ltd. MCAR-OPS1
Quality System (OPS Manual Part A, Section 3).
2.1.1
The Accountable Manager (AM) has the overall responsibility that the managing of continuing airworthiness
will be ensured on the aircraft listed in 5.4. The PCA and the Manager Quality Systems have at all times
direct access to the Accountable Manager. MMA CAMO personnel are encouraged to participate actively in
the quality system by reporting all discrepancies and suggestions for improvements to the Manager Quality
Systems or Accountable Manager. The Accountable Manager also has the overall responsibility for the
quality system, including the frequency, format, and structure, of the internal management evaluation
activities as prescribed below.
The quality management system will include a feedback system of the audit results to the responsible of
the audited department or persons concerned and ultimately to the accountable manager.
The objectives of the quality management system are:
Incorporate aviation safety management into all operational and maintenance activities
Ensure that the required standards of continuing airworthiness management are achieved and
maintained
Contracted maintenance
To maintain compliance with the regulations a QM is appointed who will monitor compliance of policies,
procedures and operating instructions. The QM has an independent position in the organisation and reports
directly to the AM. The QM must not have any involvement in the daily business of the CAMO.
2.1.2
The Quality Assurance Programme will be developed by the Manager Quality Systems in liaison with the
PCA and Accountable Manager. The QM will implement this Programme which during a twelve month
period will address the whole continuing airworthiness management activity and all of the aspects of
MCAR-M which have a bearing on the continuing airworthiness arrangements of MMA CAMO.The Quality
Assurance Programme will also incorporate Sample Surveys of the aircraft operated by MEGA Maldives.
The Quality Assurance Programme forms are held by the Manager Quality Systems.

EXPOSITION
The MCAR-M Subpart G annual audit programme is held by the QM. The audit planning is flexible. When
unsatisfactory trends are identified additional audits maybe held. The AM reviews the adequacy of the audit
planning annually.
Audits are performed on a sampling basis to verify all aspects of the quality system of Mega Maldives. The
auditor will not only check the main elements of quality system and related organisation, but also check the
work performed against the applicable requirements and processes.
Additional audits are to be carried out:
whenever corrective action has to be performed before the next scheduled audit;
when maintenance procedures are newly established or revised;
upon exchange of the nominated post holders referred to in part 0.3; and
before subcontracting of airworthiness management activities take place.
2.1.3
The primary purpose of the audit(s) will be to observe, in an objective fashion, a particular
event/action/document etc. in order to verify whether established operational and continuing airworthiness
procedures and requirements are followed during the accomplishment of that event. This is accomplished
with a view to ensuring that the required standard is being achieved.
Audit samples shall be taken during all audits and archived for future reference. Reference during the Audit
preparation should be taken from an independent source (e.g. AD s from FAA/EASA/CAA website, etc.).
Every audit is undertaken by a quality auditor as part of the overall Quality Assurance Programme and will
be the subject of an audit report. Before distribution, the preliminary conclusions will be advised to the
person(s) in charge of the areas subject to audit. The quality auditor and the persons responsible for the
areas/subjects audited will determine and agree together the corrective actions to be taken. This will also
define the time allowed for corrective actions to be implemented. The corrective action should be
determined taking into account the root cause of the finding, such that the corrective action may be carried
out in a fashion that will prevent possible re-occurrence of the finding.
The audit reports are distributed to the following persons:
The person responsible for the audited areas/department,
The Accountable Manager of MEGA Maldives,
The PCA,
The MEGA Maldives Airlines maintenance contractor(s)As a minimum, at least two audits per annum will
be performed for the organisation. These audits should preferably occur just before any scheduled Liaison
Meeting so that the necessary actions can be agreed upon with all departments personnel present. Audits
may be altered as required per priority basis. Scheduled and non-scheduled audits will be carried out as
per the Quality Auditors concerned findings. All the quality monitoring records shall be kept for at least two
years.
The CAMO personnel of MEGA Maldives will be responsible for any findings/concerns regarding
management of aircraft and its airworthiness and other relevant areas that affect the airworthiness standard
as laid down in regulatory requirements, ensuring that appropriate corrective action measures are
implemented.

Review Staff will be used to refer to personnel who have been granted the privilege to extend an
ARC, in accordance with MCAR-M.711(a)4 and MCAR-M.901(f), by the CAA.
All MMA CAMO ARC Review Staff must apply for and be accepted after assessment by CAA
on CAA Form 4
An ARC can be extended twice for a period of one year each time if the aircraft is within a
controlled environment and it is verified that:
1. the ARC is valid
2. the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft or any component fitted to the aircraft does
meet the requirements of MCAR-M, and;
3. the aircraft does remain in conformity with the type certificate issued by the State of
Design; and
4. the aircraft has been operated within the limitations of the approved flight manual or the
airworthiness certificate, and;
5. the aircraft has not been involved in an accident or incident that affects the
airworthiness of the aircraft, without subsequent appropriate action to restore
airworthiness; and
6. any design change (modification or repair) has been approved in accordance with
MCAR-21.
An aircraft in a Controlled Environment is one that has been continuously managed by the
same (unique) Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) for 12 months
prior to ARC expiry. Additionally, all maintenance carried out on the aircraft must have been
performed by a suitably approved maintenance organisation
The above mentioned requirements shall be documented. In addition, require to complete the
ARC Extension Report provided in Para 5.7 of this CAME.
A written verification will be made to ensure that the aircraft has remained in a controlled
environment under MCAR-M for 12 months prior to expiry of ARC. The Verification Form given
in Para 5.8 of this CAME will be used for the purpose of verification.
The ARC Extension will involve an aircraft document review as per CAME 4.1 and will be
recorded in the ARC Extension Report. The ARC extension can be anticipated by a maximum
period of 30 days without loss of continuity of the airworthiness review pattern.
A copy of the signed Verification Form, Airworthiness Review Certificate extended and ARC
Extension Report for the aircraft; shall be sent to Maldives CAA within 10 days.
For the list of ARC Extension Staff and ARC Extension Report, refer to Para 5.7 of this CAME.
