6.1 GENERAL
The concept of On Condition (OC) maintenance applies to the
DAFR as far as is practicable. OC is a maintenance process
having repetitive inspections or tests to determine the
condition of an assembly with regard to continued
serviceability. Corrective action is taken when required by
assembly condition. Comprehensive Built-In Test Equipment
(BITE) is provided within the equipment which identifies any
subsystem failures and facilitates fault finding down to
module (circuit board) level. The BITE can be interrogated
using Portable Replay Equipment (PRE).
Maintenance includes periodic inspections of the DAFR and
the Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB) and servicing and
maintenance of the ULB.
6.2 DAFR PERIODIC MAINTENANCE TASKS
The DAFR periodic maintenance tasks are to be carried out at
Pre-flight, six monthly, 12 monthly, 24 monthly and 72
monthly intervals, or as agreed between the Operator and the
applicable Regulatory Authority are shown in Table 5.
The periodic maintenance tasks shown in Table 5 except CVR
Replay and 72 monthly Inspection can be performed on
aircraft.
