1、503 Federal Aviation Administration, DOT 136.1 (j) Engine condition monitoring. (1) The certificate holder must establish an engine-condition monitoring program to de-tect deterioration at an early stage and to allow for corrective action before safe oper-ation is affected. (2) This program must des
2、cribe the param-eters to be monitored, the method of data collection, the method of analyzing data, and the process for taking corrective action. (3) The program must ensure that engine limit margins are maintained so that a pro-longed engine-inoperative diversion may be conducted at approved power
3、levels and in all expected environmental conditions with-out exceeding approved engine limits. This includes approved limits for items such as rotor speeds and exhaust gas temperatures. (k) Oil consumption monitoring. The certifi-cate holder must develop an engine oil con-sumption monitoring program
4、 to ensure that there is enough oil to complete each ETOPS flight. APU oil consumption must be in-cluded if an APU is required for ETOPS. The operators consumption limit may not ex-ceed the manufacturers recommendation. Monitoring must be continuous and include oil added at each ETOPS departure poin
5、t. The program must compare the amount of oil added at each ETOPS departure point with the running average consumption to identify sudden increases. (l) APU in-flight start program. If an APU is required for ETOPS, but is not required to run during the ETOPS portion of the flight, the certificate ho
6、lder must have a program acceptable to the FAA for cold soak in-flight start and run reliability. (m) Maintenance training. For each air-plane-engine combination, the certificate holder must develop a maintenance training program to ensure that it provides training adequate to support ETOPS. It must
7、 include ETOPS specific training for all persons in-volved in ETOPS maintenance that focuses on the special nature of ETOPS. This train-ing must be in addition to the operators maintenance training program used to qual-ify individuals for specific airplanes and en-gines. (n) Configuration, maintenan

When any requirement of this subpart is more stringent than any other re-qui
17、rement of this chapter, the person operating the commercial air tour must comply with the requirement in this subpart. (b) As of September 11, 2007, this sub-part is applicable to: (1) Part 121 or 135 operators con-ducting a commercial air tour and holding a part 119 certificate; (2) Part 91 operato
18、rs conducting flights as described in 119.1(e)(2); and (3) Part 91 operators conducting flights as described in 14 CFR 91.146 (c) This subpart is not applicable to operations conducted in balloons, glid-ers (powered or un-powered), para-chutes (powered or un-powered), gyro-planes, or airships. (d) F
19、or the purposes of this subpart the following definitions apply: Commercial Air Tour means a flight conducted for compensation or hire in an airplane or helicopter where a pur-pose of the flight is sightseeing. The FAA may consider the following fac-tors in determining whether a flight is a commerci
20、al air tour for purposes of this subpart: (1) Whether there was a holding out to the public of willingness to conduct a sightseeing flight for compensation or hire; (2) Whether the person offering the flight provided a narrative that re-ferred to areas or points of interest on the surface below the
21、route of the flight; (3) The area of operation; (4) How often the person offering the flight conducts such flights; (5) The route of the flight; (6) The inclusion of sightseeing flights as part of any travel arrange-ment package; (7) Whether the flight in question would have been canceled based on p
22、oor visibility of the surface below the route of the flight; and (8) Any other factors that the FAA considers appropriate. Commercial Air Tour operator means any person who conducts a commercial air tour. Life preserver means a flotation de-vice used by an aircraft occupant if the aircraft ditches i
23、n water. If an inflat-able device, it must be un-inflated and ready for its intended use once in-flated. In evaluating whether a non-in-flatable life preserver is acceptable to the FAA, the operator must dem-onstrate to the FAA that such a pre-server can be used during an evacu-ation and will allow
24、all passengers to exit the aircraft without blocking the exit. Each occupant must have the physical capacity to wear and inflate the type of device used once briefed by the commercial air tour operator. Seat cushions do not meet this definition. Raw terrain means any area on the surface, including w
25、ater, devoid of any person, structure, vehicle, or vessel. Shoreline means that area of the land adjacent to the water of an ocean, sea, lake, pond, river or tidal basin that is above the high water mark and ex-cludes land areas unsuitable for land-ing such as vertical cliffs or land inter-mittently
26、 under water during the par-ticular flight. Suitable landing area for helicopters means an area that provides the oper-ator reasonable capability to land without damage to equipment or injury to persons. Suitable landing areas must be site-specific, designated by the oper-ator, and accepted by the F
27、AA. These site-specific areas would provide an emergency landing area for a single-en-gine helicopter or a multiengine heli-copter that does not have the capa-bility to reach a safe landing area after an engine power loss. (e) In an in-flight emergency requir-ing immediate action, the pilot in com-m
