That he/she has had continuation training within the previous 2 years That he/she has worked for 4 months on the aircraft type within the previous 2 years That he/she has worked for 6 months on the aircraft type within the previous 2 years 47. Rubber components should be stored in warm and humid conditions in a well lit room in a cool dark area 48. Storage of components to prevent corrosion is helped by wrapping in grease proof paper by using silica gel by placing them in a plastic box 49. Dye penetrant kits should be stored in direct sunlight to keep it dry out of sunlight in a dry place in a dark damp cupboard 50. When receiving new parts it is the responsibility of the engineer to check it has a green serviceable label attached it is of the correct modification state and is serviceable it was designed to acceptable standards 51. For airworthiness purposes, aircraft structural parts are graded as class A, B and C primary, secondary and tertiary

If an unauthorized repair is carried out the Cof A is invalidated until an authorized repair has been done the aircraft can fly with a Certificate of Fitness for Flight the Cof A is not invalidated providing a CRS is issued 53. A C.of A. for export gives authority for the aircraft to fly is required before aircraft registration in a foriegn country does not give authority by it self for the aircraft to fly 54. A fitness for flight is issued for an aircraft after a major modification by the pilot, type rated on that particular aircraft a CAA surveyor or person approved within the CAA a appropriate licensed aircraft engineer 55. An unauthorised repair has been carried out sign a CRS for the repair carryout an approved repair apply for it as a modification 56. A Part-66 licensed engineer, when signing a CRS for a non-Part-145 company would need to have an aircraft type refresher in the last 24 months maintenance experience for 6 months within the last 24 months maintenance experience for 4 months within the last 24 months 57. A National UK licensed engineer, when signing a CRS would need to have maintenance experience for 4 months within the last 24 months an aircraft type refresher in the last 24 months maintenance experience for 6 months within the last 24 months 58. Vital point inspections are points which require special certifying LAEs are components which involve duplicate inspections are lifed components
