Content last revised: 2011/12/01

(Refer to section 625.85 of this standard.)
(amended 2004/03/01; previous version)

The following list is exhaustive; if a task is not listed, it is not elementary work. Elementary work is a form of maintenance that is not subject to a maintenance release. Hence, it need not be performed by a holder of an AME licence, or by persons working under an AMO certificate. The owner is responsible for controlling authorizations to persons who may perform elementary work.
(amended 1998/09/01; previous version)

For aircraft operated pursuant to Subpart 406 and Part VII, the applicable tasks listed below are elementary work, provided they are individually listed in the operator's maintenance control manual and or operational manual as applicable, along with a reference to the training to be undertaken by persons authorized to perform them in accordance with paragraph 571.10(3)(b) of the CARs.
(amended 2004/03/01; no previous version)

The performance of all tasks designated as elementary work shall be entered in the technical record for the aeronautical product, as required by section 571.03 of the CARs and in accordance with Subpart 605, Division IV – Technical Records.
(amended 2004/03/01; previous version)

Information Note:

Under section 605.93 of the CARs, every person who makes an entry in a technical record shall enter the person's name and, if the entry is in respect of the performance of maintenance or elementary work, the signature or employee identifier or, where the record is kept as electronic data, enter the person's user code or an equivalent security designation.
