Warnings, Caution And Notes; Maintenance Concept And Eligibility - AUTO GYRO CAVALON Manufacturer Maintenance Manual

Maintenance Concept and Eligibility

The maintenance concept of the Cavalon gyroplane is structured into 4 qualification levels:

Basic operational (OPR) Maintenance / Pilot Checks and Servicing

Line (LNE) Maintenance (inspection of Critical Parts (CP) included)

Heavy (HVY) Maintenance (Flight Safety Sensitive Maintenance Tasks, handling of CPs)

Specialized (SPC) Level Tasks (Major Modification, Repair & Overhaul, Special Topics)
The respective maintenance level for each maintenance task is printed in right hand position in the
header line on each Job Card as three-letter code for quick reference (see red circle in example
below) and repeated under 'GENERAL, REFERENCES AND REQUIREMENTS'.
Maintenance tasks may be carried out solely by persons or organizations fulfilling the requirements for
personal qualification, infrastructure and required equipment, and only in strict compliance with the
documentation and manuals listed in below table. Examples are provided for better illustration:
Level Qualification

trained/briefed person

organization approval 'Heavy'

Warnings, Caution and Notes

This manual uses WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs in bold italic letters to indicate especially
critical and important instructions. The call-outs appear at the top of the Maintenance Job Card if of
general nature or applicable for the complete task, or will directly precede the individual Work Step.
The meaning of each call-out is defined below:
WARNING: A warning means that the neglect of the appropriate procedure or
condition could result in personal injury or fatal accidents.
CAUTION: A caution means that the neglect of the appropriate procedure or
condition could result in damage to or destruction of equipment.
NOTE: A note stresses the attention for a special circumstance, which is essential
to emphasize.
