The basic organization of maintenance and overhaul is examined, with some notes about the aircraft in use, the Convair 240 and the Douglas DC-3, DC-4 and DC-6, and the reasons for the maintenance on each type being carried out differently. Owing to the operating conditions of Sabena, with both long-range routes and short-range networks in Europe and the Congo, organization of maintenance presents special problems. The routine inspections on the DC-3, Convair and DC-6 are described separately in order to present a picture of the line maintenance of the Company. The DC-3 is maintained on a 125/500/1,000 hour cycle, with a special major inspection at 3,000 hours; the Convair has a similar progressive scheme; while the DC-6 is serviced on an alternating 75/150 hour cycle, plus certain progressive items, to a major inspection at 2,400 hours. Airframe overhaul—carried out on all types despite the progressive maintenance schedule for the Convair—occurs at about 10,000 hours. The power plant (or ‘quick-change’) work, engine overhaul and accessory maintenance is described, but radio, radar and instrument inspection and repair are not covered.
