ICON A5 MM : General : Safety Directives and Continued Operational Safety
Safety Directives and Continued Operational Safety
100222-00
ICON Aircraft’s Continued Operational Safety (COS) Program, ICA003321, is in place to monitor the safety of the A5 fleet, assess any known or potential safety of flight issues, and determine the method necessary of alerting owners/operators of these issues and the corrective action if necessary. The notice of corrective action can be done by three methods: by means of a safety directive, service bulletin, or a service letter.
A safety directive/alert requires immediate action from the owner/operator. Safety directives/alerts are similar to Airworthiness Directives, however they are not approved by the FAA. They are required by the owner/operator to stay within compliance of the ASTM design specification. Service Directives are required to be complied with. Service Bulletins recommend optional maintenance tasks and a service letter provides important information. Service letters do not necessarily recommend future action but are primarily for the release of continued airworthiness information.
When corrective actions to the aircraft are required the following information will be included, either directly or by reference, within the notice.
A list of the tools needed to accomplish the task
A list of parts needed to perform the task
The type of maintenance
The level of certification required to perform the task
Detailed instructions and diagrams needed to perform the task
Method to test/inspect to verify
