Airworthiness Notices - A011, Edition 1 - 31 December 1998

 Concordance Between the Canadian Aviation Regulations and The Engineering and Inspection Manual

Purpose

This Airworthiness Notice (AN) provides the aviation industry with information on the disposition of the definitions, requirements and procedures contained in the Engineering and Inspection (E & I) Manual as the result of the implementation of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) and the associated Standards, including the Airworthiness Manual.

Background

Since the introduction of the Airworthiness Manual (AWM) in 1986, the E & I Manual became gradually obsolete as its provisions were reviewed, updated and incorporated into the AWM.

Amendment Number 32, dated 30 November 1989, to the E&I Manual provided a list of sections and paragraphs of Part I and II of the E & I Manual that were identified at that time as superseded, the date of supersession, and also a reference to the AWM where the requirements could be found. This list was not exhaustive and the Department intended to publish additional amendments until such time as all requirements were superseded; nevertheless, no further official lists were released after Amendment 32.

In 1997 a dedicated Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council (CARAC) working group reviewed the remaining requirements related to the certification of aeronautical products and published updated standards in the new AWM Chapter 551, Aircraft Equipment and Installation Standards.

Status

At present the E & I Manual is superseded in its entirety.  The CARs do not contain any reference to this manual or any statement addressing which requirements prevail in case of conflict between the AWM and the E & I Manual, as did Air Regulation 211 (1.1)(b).  However, since the requirements of the E & I Manual were included in the basis of certification of many aeronautical products, the manual remains valid as an historic document for past reference.

The information provided in the appendix to this AN is a first attempt to provide a comprehensive table of concordance of the provisions of the E & I Manual incorporated into CAR Standards and the AWM.
