To assist U.S. repair stations in showing compliance with the U.S. - Canada maintenance implementation procedures (MIP), ARSA has developed three publications.

NOT SURE WHICH PUBLICATION TO ORDER? – ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

Does the repair station work on completed aircraft?

A) If yes, continue to the second question.

B) If no, and the repair station works on components and approves those components for return to service separate from the aircraft for distributors or Canadian customers, the repair station must be able to show compliance with specific sections of the U.S. – Canadian MIP. Purchase the Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Component Repair Stations (#3 below).

Are the aircraft operated in commercial service (is the customer a Canadian air carrier)?

A) If yes, the repair station must have an FAA-approved supplement. Purchase the Domestic Model Canadian Supplement for Repair Stations Maintaining Canadian-Registered Aircraft Operated in Commercial Air Service (#1 below).

B) If no, and the aircraft is operated for private purposes, the repair station must be able to show compliance with specific sections of the U.S. – Canadian MIP. Purchase the Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Repair Stations Maintaining Complete Canadian-Registered Aircraft Not Operated in Commercial Air Service (#2 below).

1. Domestic Model Canadian Supplement for Repair Stations Maintaining Canadian-Registered Aircraft Operated in Commercial Air Service

The Supplement is designed for U.S.-based repair stations that are working on complete aircraft operated in commercial air service under Canadian Aviation Regulations Part IV (flight training) or Part VII (air carriers). These repair stations are required to have an FAA approved supplement. ARSA’s supplement covers the special conditions and procedures required to implement the MIP.

Repair stations that work on both aircraft and components subject to Canadian jurisdiction may wish to order the Supplement and the cross-reference table for components to ensure they understand all applicable portions of the MIP.

The Domestic Model Canadian Supplement for Repair Stations Maintaining Canadian-Registered Aircraft Operated in Commercial Air Service is available to Members for $250.00 and to Non-members for $500.00.

2. NEW PUBLICATION Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Repair Stations Maintaining Complete Canadian-Registered Aircraft Not Operated in Commercial Air Service

The Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Repair Stations Maintaining Complete Canadian-Registered Aircraft Not Operated in Commercial Air Service provides an appendix to be added to your current repair station manual.

All U.S.-based repair stations that perform maintenance, preventive maintenance and modifications on complete Canadian-registered aircraft that are not operated in commercial air service (flight instruction and other general aviation aircraft) must show compliance with certain portions of the MIP. This table and the supplemental language provides repair stations with information that establishes compliance.

Repair stations that work on both "general" aircraft and components subject to Canadian jurisdiction should purchase the cross-reference table as well as the cross-reference table for components. These documents will ensure that the company understands which portions of the MIP apply to all products (completed aircraft AND components) being maintained or altered.

The Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Repair Stations Maintaining Complete Canadian-Registered Aircraft Not Operated in Commercial Air Service is available to Members for $50.00 and to Non-members for $100.00.

3. REVISION 2 NOW AVAILABLE Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Component Repair Stations.

The Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Component Repair Stations provides an appendix to add to your current repair station manual.

All U.S.-based repair stations that perform maintenance, preventive maintenance and modifications on any civil aviation component (aircraft engine, propeller, subassembly, appliance, material, or parts) under the regulatory authority of Transport Canada (TCCA) must comply with certain portions of the MIP. This table and the supplemental language provides repair stations with the information that establishes compliance.

The original and first revision of this publication contained supplemental language repair stations were encouraged to add to their repair station manual.

Revision 2 incorporates the supplemental language into a cross-reference table, and gives suggestions for when language may be incorporated into the appropriate sections of the Repair Station Quality Manual. This revision integrates the MIP language direction in the cross-reference table to ensure that the repair station is aware of the exact regulatory requirements.

The revised publication also addresses a letter from TCCA, dated June 13, 2007, which adopts a uniform policy for recording major repairs performed in the U.S. on Canadian aeronautical products. Under the MIP, a major repair to a Canadian product is recorded on FAA Form 337 or "an equivalent method acceptable to the TCCA."

The Domestic Model Canadian Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language for Component Repair Stations is available to Members for $50.00 and to Non-members for $100.00.

For repair stations that ordered this publication BEFORE March 31, 2008: The differences between Revision 2 and the original or first revision are mostly formalistic. The original and Revision 1 of this publication still comply with TCCA requirements. However, repair stations that ordered BEFORE March 31, 2008 are entitled to a complimentary upgrade. Use the publication order form with the exact same company name so that verification of your previous purchase can be made, and note in the "Remarks/Comments" field that you are requesting a complimentary document based on a previous purchase. Delivery will take place after verification of the prior purchase.

Ordering

ARSA is your sole source for this vital material.

Based on a repair station’s operations it will need either the Supplement or one of the Cross-Reference Tables with Supplemental Language, not necessarily all three. Any repair station can use these models to develop their own Supplement or Cross-Reference Table with Supplemental Language.

Upon receipt of payment, ARSA will transmit the publication to you as a Microsoft Word file attached to an e-mail message. The manual is an electronic file only; no printed material or disk will be sent. A person knowledgeable in Microsoft Word is necessary for customization to your organization.
