Revision 2 2-1 23 December 2015 LC Joint Adventures, LLC 4500 S. School Ave. Suite M Fayetteville, AR 72701 479-841-4262 2 – MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS This RVSM inspection program identifies all aircraft equipment required for RVSM, together with scheduled maintenance requirements for that equipment. For the Citation Bravo, the aircraft manufacturer identifies this equipment and lists it in the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement 55BFM-S25 page S25-5. The Cessna Citation Bravo Maintenance Manual (55BMM; REV. 23; 1 August 2013 or later Revision) outlines the maintenance requirements for RVSM equipment. Only the current revision will be used to accomplish maintenance. For the Citation II (550-0333), two Shadin ADC-6000 Air Data Computers have been installed in accordance with STC ST02115CH. The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) are contained in Shadin Document DN2807A-017, a copy of which is appended at the end of this manual. Shadin Flight Manual Supplement Document Number DN2807A-006, Revision B has been inserted into the Aircraft Flight Manual. Only the current revision of these documents will be used to accomplish maintenance. Other maintenance items such as Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and AD's will be tracked using a computerized maintenance-tracking program (CESCOM). To retain approval for RVSM in the Citation II s/n 550-0333 it is necessary to accomplish inspections and maintenance procedures contained in the Shadin ICA, which refer to the Cessna Citation II maintenance manual ATA 34-11 and require recurrent test and inspections every 24 months in compliance with CFR Part 91.411. To retain approval of RVSM in the Citation Bravo aircraft it is necessary to accomplish the following inspections. A special inspection requirement occurs if the airplane is damaged and repaired, painted or polished/buffed in the static port area. The static ports must be inspected to ensure they are within the tolerances (Refer to Task 34-14-00-710). 1. A functional check of the Air Data Systems as per the manufacturer's maintenance manual section 34-14-00 Inspection / Check (Task 34-14-00-710) as part of the scheduled Phase 20 Inspection performed every 24 months. 2. A Pitot and Static Systems Functional Check is included in the Air Data System functional check (Task 34-14-00-710). 3. A static port height check as per the manufacturer's maintenance manual section 34-11-12 Inspection/Check (Task 34-11-12-220) as per of the scheduled Phase 20 Inspection performed every 24 months. 4. A functional check of the aircraft's auto flight control system is not required by the manufacturer's maintenance manual. Revision 2 2-2 23 December 2015 LC Joint Adventures, LLC 4500 S. School Ave. Suite M Fayetteville, AR 72701 479-841-4262 5. A functional check of the altitude alerting system is included in the Air Data System functional check (Task 34-14-00-710). 6. A calibration check of the transponder system as per the manufacturer's maintenance manual section 34-54-00 Inspection / Check (Task 34-54-00-730). This is part of the scheduled Phase 21 Inspection performed every 24 months. 3 - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS (ICA) To ensure the continued airworthiness and height keeping ability of RVSM approved aircraft the RVSM Responsible Person is responsible for ensuring the following practices are accomplished: Avionics components of identical part number may be interchanged freely during the service lifetime of this airframe (subject to the requirements of this RVSM Maintenance Program, the current version of the Citation Parts Manual, or the applicable Instructions for Continued Airworthiness). If alternate equipment part numbers are to be installed, the units must be analyzed on a system level to determine if the new components are acceptable for RVSM. NOTE: The TC holder will make this determination. Cessna Citation Checklist calls out for the pilot to inspect the Pitot/Static areas during the Preflight Inspection. It is imperative that prior to all flights in RVSM airspace, the pilot visually inspects the RVSM Critical Region for obvious damage or deformation to the skin surface. Airframe, static systems and RVSM critical equipment should be maintained in accordance with the airframe manufacturer's inspection standards and procedures, and instructions for continued airworthiness as applicable (including but not limited to the current revision of Cessna Citation Maintenance Manual). Any modification, repair, or design change, which in any way alters the initial RVSM approval, will require a design review by Cessna and FAA engineering. Any maintenance practices which may affect the continuing RVSM approval integrity, e.g., the alignment of pitot/static probes, dents, or deformation around static plates, should be referred to the approving authority or persons delegated by the authority. Only the current revision of technical publications will be used to accomplish maintenance. Currency of Cessna’s technical publications may be verified at cessnasupport.com 4 - REMOVAL / RETURN TO RVSM SERVICE PROCEDURES When RVSM-critical equipment malfunctions are identified, the flight crew shall reference the Aircraft Flight Manual and the MEL for allowable flight operations. Refer to the RVSM Aircraft Flight Manual and Appendix A of this RVSM Maintenance Program for a listing of RVSM-critical equipment. At such time an RVSM related malfunction occurs the aircraft will become non-compliant regarding RVSM operations and the following procedures will be adhered to: Revision Original 2-3 12 September 2014 LC Joint Adventures, LLC 4500 S. School Ave. Suite M Fayetteville, AR 72701 479-841-4262 The RVSM Responsible Person or designee and Maintenance personnel will advise the flight crew that all flight plans in RVSM applicable airspace will make reference to RVSM non-compliance (Per FAA InFO 12001 (DATE: 1/18/12) Non-RVSM aircraft must not file a flight plan with an RVSM equipment/capability qualifier (i.e. W for ICAO flight plan)) and indicate that until corrective action is accomplished, the aircraft is not to be operated in RVSM airspace. Flights in RVSM airspace with a non-compliant aircraft are contingent upon prior ATC approval. An entry will be made in the appropriate flight/maintenance record to indicate the aircraft is not compliant with RVSM requirement until such time the discrepancy(s) are corrected. A placard shall be placed on the aircraft instrument panel indicating the aircraft is not RVSM compliant. The wording on the placard will conform with the MEL. (example “ALTITUDE ALERTER INOP. FLIGHT INTO RVSM AIRSPACE NOT AUTHORIZED”). For the aircraft to become RVSM compliant, corrective action must be carried out to identify the failure and/or malfunction of the affected component and must be confirmed and repaired by maintenance action. Upon completion of corrective maintenance and testing, the RVSM Responsible Person or his designee will ensure that the installed placard indicating that the aircraft is not RVSM compliant is removed and an entry made in the aircraft maintenance record, which will return the aircraft to RVSM authorized status in accordance with FAR part 43.9. The maintenance entry will include a statement that the aircraft is “RVSM Compliant.” Should the aircraft be positively identified as exhibiting height-keeping performance errors, the above five (5) bullets must be used to determine the corrective action. Prior to release for operation in RVSM airspace, a height monitoring flight to verify the airplane meets required height-keeping performance will be accomplished. 5 - MAINTENANCE TRAINING LC Joint Adventures LLC does not provide in-house training for maintenance personnel. Specific to RVSM, the Cessna Citation Authorized Service Center personnel have received initial training regarding RVSM requirements. Cessna Citation Authorized Service Centers ensure that recurrent RVSM maintenance training is completed. It is the responsibility of the RVSM Responsible Person or designee for LC Joint Adventures LLC to inquire with the management of the FAA Part 145 maintenance facility to ensure that all personnel performing maintenance on the RVSM systems are properly trained, qualified, and knowledgeable to perform maintenance on RVSM systems.
