Continued airworthiness information

The actual Safety Monitoring Plan establishes the standard practice for the Continued Operational Safety monitoring of light sport aircraft by AIRMAX CONSTRUÇÕES AERONÁUTICAS LTDA.

In a manner similar to the Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins issued for aircraft certificated in other categories, Airmax issues Safety Directives. These are notifications of corrective actions determined by Armaix in response to a reported safety-of-flight or service issue.

The content and format is determined by applicable Federal Aviation Regulations as well as ASTM F 2295 standards for “Notice of Corrective Action” and “Operational Risk Assessment Procedure”.

We have adopted the ASTM Format to issue Safety Directives compliant with requirements that enable Airmax to inform aircraft owners and operators about "mandatory action".

Airmax will maintain a Website Bulletin, www.airmax.com.br and www.seamaxusa.com, where all Safety Alert notifications and/or Service Bulletins will be available for reference.

Airmax Responsibilities

Airmax has implemented a system of receiving, evaluating, and correcting safety-of-flight and service issues. The system has three sources of input:

a)      Reports made whenever a non-conformity occurs that may cause a safety-of-flight issue.

b)      Test Flight Reports that present a safety-of-flight issue;

c)      Customer’s Communications - (AM-152) indicating safety-of-flight and service issues and suggestions;

Airmax will keep a file with all the issues reported, identifying them by subject and date of occurrence, safety effect, corrective action, date of implementation, and the aircraft serial number following the implementation.

a)      If the risk assessment is considered a Urgent Safety of Flight Situation (Potential Emergency Safety of Flight Action), a Service Alert will be issued.

b)      The corrective action, once determined, must be immediately incorporated into production.

c)      Customers will be notified through a MANDATORY Service Bulletin (MANDATORY SB) with instructions regarding Corrective Action/Mandatory Inspection/modifications as needed.

Notice Of Corrective Action

Airmax uses the following notices of corrective actions to the known owner/operators of the affected aircraft:

-        SAFETY ALERT : Notification that require immediate action.

-        SERVICE BULLETIN : Notification that do not require immediate action but do recommend future action.

-        NOTIFICATION: Notification that do not require immediate but are primarily for promulgation of continued airworthiness information.
