3.3 INVESTIGATE - ARS Structure
Background Short description. Investigation Investigation/analysis of the presented subject. Impact on Airworthiness Safety analysis, to establish if an unsafe condition exists or not Typically: - catastrophic / hazardous / major or - non regulatory compliance or - emergency device related or - structure strength reduction In addition: - Probability of the most realistic worst case - Application of IR 21A.3B(b) giving acceptable reaction time when applicable
Corrective Action Corrective Action(s) identified: - Risk alleviating actions - Short term actions - Long term Actions Identification of the corrective action shall be exhaustive and sufficiently detailed; directly used for writing the AD. Compliance time; directly used for the writing of the AD. Compliance time has to be estimated on Calendar basis. Effectivity Potentially affected aircraft when mandatory measures. Used in AD. Conclusion This paragraph will provide the AIRBUS position and the EASA position. ARS Issue management In order to guarantee a good traceability, a new conclusion will be written for each issue giving the date of the status. Summary An ARS summary can be created.

GM 21A.3B(d)(4) Defect Correction: Different steps to be considered for hazardous to catastrophic failure conditions:
A - Establish all possible alleviating action such as inspections, crew drills, route restrictions, and other limitations B - Identify that part of the fleet, which is exposed to the residual risk C - Using reasonably cautious assumptions, calculate the likely hazardous/catastrophic rate for each aircraft carrying the risk in the affected fleet D - Compare the speed with which any suggested campaign will correct the deficiency with the time suggested E - Also ensure that the expected probability of the catastrophic event during the rectification period on the affected fleet is in accordance with Fleet risk
Note: Where a fleet of aircraft is involved reaction time may be interpreted
as the mean time to rectification and not the time to the last one

3.3 INVESTIGATE - Corrective action implementation : Main steps as per regulation
Establish all possible alleviating action such as inspections, crew procedures, route restrictions and other limitations. ATQC (A380/A400M...): Airbus Temporary Quick Change
Basic Airworthiness Training Course - Continued Airworthiness - March 2013
3.3 INVESTIGATE - Corrective action implementation : Risk Alleviation Means
• Depending on the nature of the failure case, different way to manage the retrofit of the corrective actions may be taken � Ageing old A/C to be considered first � Infant new A/C to be considered first � Fatigue as per model result, depending on FC or FH �
• IR 21 provides a guideline tool (GM 21A.3B(d4)) to assist in establishing
rectification campaigns: � It provides tool to quantify acceptable risk exposure. Nevertheless
engineering judgement has to be considered in the same time
� When quantitative criteria cannot be applied, subject event should not be anticipated to occur before corrective action implementation. This is of course leading to use an engineering judgement
Note: IR 21 is not the only way to consider the corrective campaign

Note 1 : Non compliance with applicable airworthiness requirements is generally considered as an unsafe condition, unless it is shown that possible events resulting from this non compliance do not constitute an unsafe condition as defined under a,b,c above.
• GM 21A.3B(d)(4) – 1. This document contains GM of a general nature for use in conjunction with engineering judgement, to aid airworthiness engineers in reaching decisions in the state of technology at the material time.
• GM 21A.3B(d)(4) – 4.3. It must be stressed that the benefit of these guidelines will be to form a datum for what is considered to be the theoretically maximum reaction time. A considerable amount of judgement will still be necessary in establishing many of the input factors and the final decision may still need to be tempered by non-numerical considerations, but the method proposed will at least provide a rational 'departure point' for any exercise of such judgement.
• GM21A.3B(b) – 2. This analysis may be qualitative or quantitative, i.e. formal and quantitative safety analyses may not be available for older or small aircraft. In such cases, the level of analysis should be consistent with that required by the airworthiness requirements and may be based on Engineering judgement supported by service experience data.
