Guidance Material and Best Practices for Aircraft LeasesAnnex V: Structural Repair File GuidelinesAircraft Type : All modelsApplicability : EASA and FAA environment1. IntroductionAircraft documentation is inspected meticulously during the delivery or redelivery process of an aircraft onlease. This also includes documentation associated with the repairs performed on the aircraft. Many differentkinds of repairs on the external fuselage will be performed on an aircraft during its life, which often leads todifficulties during the delivery or redelivery process. These difficulties result from different standards or lackthereof, and may be very costly, as removal and/or re-inspection of repairs will lead to delays. Most Lessorswill mandate that all repairs are consolidated into a single repair file. This document provides guidelines forthe airline to effectively create such a consolidated repair file. This document makes use of the assumptionsbelow.2. Regulatory Basis2.1 EASAEASA regulations applicable to repairs can be found in Part 21A (Subpart M) and Part M (M.A 304, 305, 708,710). In addition, the EASA has published Guidance Material (GM) and Acceptable Means of Compliance(AMC), which provide additional insights into the regulatory requirements of the repair process.Repairs performed under EASA regulations require approved data for both minor and major classifications(as opposed to repairs performed under FAA regulations, refer to paragraph 2.2 for details). Thedetermination of minor or major classifications for repairs has to be performed by an organization holding anEASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). Operators without an EASA DOA must rely on the EASA directlyor contract with an approved DOA organization to classify and approve the repair. There are many differentlevels of EASA DOA authorizations, ranging from authorization to design and certify major repairs andalterations (i.e. Type Certificate holders) to authorization for approval of minor changes or repairs only.The EASA regulations allow for various ways to develop and approve repairs:●●●Based on the manuals or ICA (e.g. SRMs, Maintenance Manuals, Engine Manuals, etc.) provided by theTC holder or STC holderBy an approved DOA organization (for minor repairs only)By the STC holder or the EASA for minor and major repairsAn overview of the approval process for repairs can be found in Figure 8 and Figure 9.88 4 th Edition 2017
