EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL EC145 GENERAL - TIME LIMITS/INSPECTIONS 6-1 Time Limits/Inspections - General A.

The checks, inspections and overhauls specified in Chapter 05 must be accomplished no later than the time limits specified in Sections 05-11-00, 05-13-00 and 05-21-00 to ensure Continued Airworthiness of the Helicopter.

B.

This chapter specifies certain actions to ensure the serviceability of the equipment. For the purposes of this section, "checks" can be accomplished by pilots or technicians, and "inspections" must be accomplished by maintenance technicians. All personnel shall have this and other documents available and shall be appropriately certified and or trained to accomplish the tasks.

6-2 Scheduled Inspections - General A.

The scheduled checks and inspections listed in this section are to be Accomplished latest on reaching corresponding operating time of helicopter.

B.

If the operating times of parts or components differ from those of the helicopter, then the operating times of these parts or components are applicable.

C.

Inspection points of scheduled checks and inspections may be performed earlier. For this make sure that the specified time limits are not exceeded for those measures accomplished in advance.

6-3 Further Scheduled Measures - General A.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL EC145 6-6 Information on Time Limits - General A.

All time limits requiring maintenance procedures are contained in Sections 05-11-00, 05-13-00 and 05-14-00.

B.

Time limits are defined as follows: (1) If time limits are expressed in flight hours (Fh) they generally apply to the flight hours of the helicopter. If the flight hours are related to parts and components this is explicitly stated. Flight hours are defined as the time between takeoff and landing of the helicopter. (2) If time limits are expressed as calendar time, they generally apply to the helicopter. If the calendar time is related to parts and components this is explicitly stated. Calendar time is the interval between mandatory checks, inspections and overhauls expressed in calendar months (mo) or years (y).

C.

Exceeding of time limits is defined as follows: (1) Time limits can not be exceeded, beyond the specified limits except as noted.

D.

When unusual local conditions dictate, it is the responsibility of the helicopter operator to increase the frequency and scope of inspections to guarantee safe flight operation.

The preflight inspection shall be accomplished in accordance with this guide by a qualified technician with documented training on the installed system. This inspection is not a detailed mechanical inspection, but essentially a visual check of the equipment for correct condition (example: to make sure that a component is in good condition). If necessary, touch the component to do the check (example: to make sure that there is no play). This inspection shall be completed before the first flight of the day or prior to the first flight after 24 consecutive hours have accumulated since the last inspection. Unless an otherwise FAA Approved inspection program is in place. When unusual local conditions dictate, the extent and/or frequency of this check/inspection shall be increased as necessary to promote safe operation.
