APPENDIX 1 TO 5.090 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM

(a) The main objectives of the quality assurance system is to help AMO provides maintenance
services which meet applicable standards and always adhere to the requirements.
(b) Essential component of the quality assurance system is an independent quality audit.
Independent quality audit is an objective process of regular inspection activities on a AMO's
capability to perform maintenance work which meet standards as prescribed, including test of
some maintained products, and the result of the maintenance process. Independent quality audit
is the evaluation of all activities related to maintenance and is intended to supplement the
requirements of Article 5.095, so that maintenance staff can believe that all maintenance work
has to be done correctly before signing for release to service. Independent quality audit must
include an random audit rate on the basis of sampling when performing maintenance. This means
that it has to make some audit at night for AMO has done maintenance at night.
(c) Except for the provisions in paragraphs (f) and (h) below, an independent quality audit to ensure
that all aspects of compliance with Part 5 of the AMO must be inspected annually according to the
schedule. Independent quality audit does not require each procedure to be inspected for each
product line, if particular process which can be applied to multiple product lines and are inspected
every 12 months can be proved without deficiency detecting. If defeciency found, that specific
process must be re-inspected against other product lines until the defeciency is fixed, then
independent audit can turned back to the 12-month cycle for specific processes.
(d) Except for the provisions of paragraph (f), independent audit to inspect a product sample of each
product line every 12 months to demonstrate the effectiveness of compliance with maintenance
procedures. Audits of the process and product should be integrated by selecting samples, such
as aircraft, engine or instrument and inspecting compliance with all procedures and regulations
relating to specific product sample in order to ensure that the final result is a product which meets
airworthiness standards. For independent quality audit, product line includes any product under
Appendix 1 to 5.043 on level of approval together with the Certificate of approval in accordance
with Part 5 issued for specific maintenance organization. Therefore, if the AMO with maintenance
capability of aircraft, engine repair, brake and auto-pilot, it must be conducted full four sample
audits each year, except for the cases specified in paragraphs (e), (f) or (h).
Issue 00, Rev 00, 1/2011 Page 30

(e) Inspecting a sample of the product means to witness any testing and visual inspection for related
products and manuals. The sample inspection does not need to repeat the remove (diassembling)
or test except that sample inspection detects defects need be fixed.
(f) Except as specified in paragraph (h), if AMO’s too small, in which only less than 10 people
participate in the maintenance, if lease of an independent audit department of quality system of
another AMO is chosen, the audits of all activities of AMO must be conducted in accordance with
the minimum frequency of once every 12 months.
(g) Except as specified in paragraph (h), if AMO has line maintenance stations as listed in Article
5.020 (c), quality assurance system must describe the method of that station control within the
framework of the system and make plans to audit each station at a frequency in according to flight
operations at that station. Except as specified in paragraph (i), the longest interval between the
audits of a specific line maitenance station should not be exceed 24 months.
(h) Except as specified in paragraph (c), CAAV may agree to increase the period by 100% if there are
no safety-related defeciencies and AMO have kept the full record of overcoming these
deficiencies in a timely manner.
(i) After carrying audit, it need to be raised an report which describes what to audit and deficiency
detection on the processes and products.
(j) The independence of the audit must be ensured by audits are always done by people who do not
have to perform the inspected function, process or product. For large AMO, with over 500
maitenance employees, they need to have a professional and qualified quality audit team only
performing the audit, reporting deficiencies and monitoring corrective action. For medium AMO,
with less than 500 maintenance employees, they can get qualified people from the non-function of
manufacture, process or product to audit department which to perform the above mentioned

therefore, the restrictions of 17.050 will be applied.
17.077 AEROPLANES – TWO ENGINES INOPERATIVE

(a) No person may takeoff an aeroplane used in commercial air transport having three or more
engines at such a weight where there is no suitable landing aerodrome within 90 minutes at any
point along the intended route (with all engines operating at cruising power), unless that aircraft

altitude of at least 300 m (1,000 ft) directly over that aerodrome.
Note: When the two engines of the reciprocating aeroplane are predicted to fail at an

altitude above the prescribed minimum altitude, compliance with the prescribed rate of
climb need not be shown during the descent from the cruising altitude to the prescribed
minimum altitude, if those requirements can be met once the prescribed minimum altitude
is reached, and assuming descent to be along a net flight path and the rate of descent to
2
be 0.013× VSO greater than the rate in the approved performance data.
Note: If fuel jettisoning is authorised (or planned), the aeroplane’s weight at the point
where the two engines fail is considered to be not less than that which would include
enough fuel to proceed to an aerodrome and to arrive at an altitude of at least 300 m
(1,000 ft) directly over that aerodrome.

SUBPART H: LANDING LIMITATIONS
17.090 AEROPLANES
(a) No person may take off an aeroplane used in commercial operations unless its weight on arrival

(1) For turbine engine powered aeroplanes, 60 percent of the effective length of each
runway;
(2) For reciprocating engine powered aeroplanes, 70 percent of the effective length of each
runway.

person determining the landing limit shall ensure that:
(1) The aeroplane is landed on the most favorable runway and in the most favorable
direction, in still air; or
(2) The aeroplane is landed on the most suitable runway considering the probable wind
velocity and direction, runway conditions, the ground handling characteristics of the
aeroplane, and considering other conditions such as landing aids and terrain.
Note: If the runway at the landing destination is reported or forecast to be wet or slippery,
the landing distance available shall be at least 115 percent of the required landing
distance unless, based on a showing of actual operating landing techniques on wet or
slippery runways, a shorter landing distance (but not less than that required by paragraph
(a)) has been approved for a specific type and model aeroplane and this information is
included in the AFM.
(c) A turbine powered transport category aeroplane that would be prohibited from taking off
because it could not meet the requirements of paragraph (a)(1), may take off if an alternate
aerodrome is specified that meets all the requirements of paragraph (a).
17.093 HELICOPTERS
(a) No person may take off a helicopter used in commercial air transport unless, with all engines
operating on arrival at the intended destination landing site or any planned alternate landing, it
can clear all obstacles on the approach path and can land and stop within the landing distance

available.

inoperative at any point during the approach and landing phase, before the landing
decision point, the helicopter shall, at the destination and at any alternate, after clearing
all obstacles in the approach path by a safe margin, be able to land and stop within the
landing distance available or to perform a balked landing and clear all obstacles in the
flight path by an adequate margin equivalent to that required for takeoff. In case of the
failure occurring after the landing decision point, the helicopter shall be able to land and
stop within the landing distance available;
(2) For performance Class 2 helicopters. With all engines operating, the helicopter shall at
the destination and at any alternate, after clearing all obstacles in the approach path by a
safe margin, be able either to land and stop within the landing distance available or to
perform a balked landing and clear all obstacles in the flight path by an adequate margin
equivalent to that specified for takeoff limitations, or In the event of the critical power-unit
becoming inoperative before the defined point before landing, the same specifications are
applicable. After the defined point, failure of a power-unit may cause the helicopter to
force land, therefore the restrictions of 17.050 will be applied;
(3) For performance Class 3 helicopters. With all engines operating, the helicopter shall at
the destination and at any alternate, after clearing all obstacles in the approach path by a
safe margin, be able to land and stop within the landing distance available or to perform a
balked landing and clear all obstacles in the flight path by an adequate margin equivalent
to that for takeoff. At any point of the flight path, failure of a power-unit will cause the
helicopter to force land, therefore the restrictions of 17.050 will be applied.

(1) Clothing: 4 kg; and
(2) Hand luggage: 6kg.
(b) Ground staffs to welcome passengers aboard the helicopter need to assess the weight declared
by the passengers and ad the weight of passengers' clothing to check their validity. These
employees need to be trained how to evaluate the weight value. When necessary, the declared
weight and the specific constants should be increased to avoid incorrect declaration.
APPENDIX 2 SECTION 17.035: TABLE OF STANDARD WEIGHT VALUE TO DETERMINE THE

WEIGHTS OF PASSENGERS.
(a) Value of passenger weights – aircraft with 20 seats or more:
(1) When the total number of passenger seats  20, apply column of standard weights for
men and women in Table 1 below. In the case of passenger seats  30, apply column "all
adult" in Table 1 below.
(2) Weight value of charter flight shall be applied if less than 5% the number of passenger
seats are used for some particular passengers.

(b) Value of passenger weight – aircraft with 19 seats or less:

(1) When the total number of passenger seats  19, apply standard weights for in Table 2;
(2) The flight without hand baggage or luggage alone can reduce 6kg for each men and
women. Personal items such as coats, umbrellas, small handbag or makeup bag, books
and magazines or small camera are not considered as hand luggage for the purpose of
this paragraph.

Men 104 kg 96 kg 92 kg
Women 86 kg 78 kg 74 kg
Children 35 kg 35 kg 35 kg

APPENDIX 3 SECTION 17.035: TABLE OF STANDARD BAGGAGE WEIGHT VALUE.

(a) The number of seats on the aircraft  20, apply the standard weight in Table 3 for each type of
baggage. The number of seats  19, determine the actual weight of the baggage by weighing.
Table 3
Flight Standard baggage weights
International 11 kg
Domestic 15 kg
APPENDIX 4 ARTICLE 17.035 METHOD OF ESTABLISHING A MODIFIED WEIGHT VALUE OF

PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE.
(a) Passengers:
(1) Sample weighing: Average weight of passengers and their baggage must be determined
by weighing several times. The selection of these attempts must be random and
representative of group of passengers and having regard to the type of operation, the
frequency of flights on various routes, departure flight, arrival flight, ability of seasonal
performance and aircraft seats.
(2) The standard sample weighing: the number of passengers needed to be weighed must
be the largest number of:
(i) The number of passengers are calculated from a trial weighing by conventional
statistical methods and based on a tolerance (accuracy) 1% of adults and 2% for
average weight male and female which is completed in sample weighing to
determine the minimum number of passengers required and average weight;
(ii) The number of required sample weighing is 2000 passengers to aircraft of 40 seats
or more;
(iii) The total sample weighing is 50 passengers multiplied by the number of seats on
the aircraft to aircraft of 40 seats or less.
(3) Passenger’s weight: passenger’s weight must include personal effects they bring on
board. When random sampling passenger’s weight, the baby must be weighed along with
accompanying adults;
(4) Location of weighing: location chosen is as near the aircraft as possible, where the
change of weight by adding or removing personal effects does not happen before
boarding;
(5) Weighing machine: the machine must be able to weigh at least 150 kg. Weight must be
made at least every 500 g. The machine must be accurate to within 0.5% or 200 g,
choose the larger value;
(6) Storage of weight value: passenger’s weight, depending on the classification of
passengers (men, women, and children) of each flight and number of flight, must be
stored.
(b) Checked baggage: Statistical method is used to determine the correct luggage weight value
based on the average weight of the luggage from the minimum sample weighing of passengers.
To baggage, tolerance (accuracy) is 1%. Minimum sample weighing of baggage are 2000 units
of baggage.
(c) Determination of value of modified standard weights of passenger and baggage.

(1) When determining weight by weighing, to ensure the use of the value of the modified
standard weight of passengers and baggage does not adversely affect to safe operation,
the statistical method must be used. Statistical methods will be the basis for determining
the value of the average weight of passengers and luggage as well as other data;
(2) With aircraft  20 seats, the value of modified standard weights apply to men and women;
(3) For smaller aircraft, adjustment must be added to the average weight value to get the
standard weight value as follows:
Number of passenger’s seat Additional weight

1-5 16 kg
6-9 8 kg
10 - 19 4 kg
Besides, the modified standard adult weight values (average) can be applied for the
aircraft of 30 seats or more. The modified standard baggage weight values (average) can
be applied for the aircraft of 20 seats or more;
(4) The operator chooses a detailed survey plan to submit to CAAV for approval and then
give a tolerance value of modified standard weight values using the method described in
this appendix. This tolerance value must be reassessed in a period not exceeding five
years;
(5) The value of standard adult weights must be based on the ratio of male / female as 80/20
for all flights except charter flights this ratio is 50/50. If Operators want to use other ratio
of male / female for private flights or special flights, the Operators must obtain the
approval of CAAV, provided that the ratio of male / female must be at least 84% in the
survey of 100 flights or more;
(6) The value of the average weight is rounded to number of kg closely. Checked baggage
weight values are rounded to 0.5 kg when necessary.
APPENDIX 5 ARTICLE 17.035 MODIFICATIONS OF STANDARD WEIGHTS.

(a) When the standard weight value is used, paragraph (e) and (f) of Section 17.035, the operator
must to agree and adjust the weight of passengers and checked baggage in the case of
significant amount of passengers or the number of handbag is expected to exceed the standard
weight. This requirement means that the Operational Manual (OM) have guidelines to ensure:
(1) Airport staff, operation staff, flight attendants and loading staff record or take appropriate
action when large number of passengers and their hand baggage exceeds the allowed
limit standard passenger weight and groups of passengers carrying heavy luggage (such
as soldiers or sports teams); and
(2) On the small plane, when the risk of overloading or incorrect centre of gravity, the PIC
must pay special attention to the load and calibrate properly the distribution of them.
