**AFFECTED PARTS**

Various aircraft parts.

**PURPOSE**

The purpose of this notification is to advise all aircraft owners,
operators, manufacturers, maintenance organizations, and parts suppliers
and distributors regarding the unapproved status of aircraft parts sold
by George Myles, Jr., owner of Miles Aviation, Inc., and Myles Aviation,
Inc.

**BACKGROUND**

Information received during joint investigations conducted by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Department of
Transportation-Office of Inspector General, and the Defense Criminal
Investigative Service revealed that between 2005 and 2006, George Myles,
Jr., owner of Miles Aviation, Inc. (Miles Aviation), a parts distributor
previously located at 2521 N.W. 16^th^ Lane, Pompano Beach, FL 33064,
falsified documents attesting to the status of parts that he supplied
under a Government contract to the United States Air Force and parts
that he supplied to the civil aviation community.

Evidence indicated that George Myles, Jr., falsely certified ATA 106,
Part or Material Certification Forms, and FAA Forms 8130-3,
Airworthiness Approval Tags, that parts were "new" or "new surplus"
when, in fact, they were used or overhauled. He also falsified ATA 106
forms and FAA Forms 8130-3 regarding the airworthiness status of the
parts. Neither George Myles, Jr., nor Miles Aviation were certificated
by the FAA to inspect, repair, or overhaul parts; they could not certify
the airworthiness of the aircraft parts. Evidence also indicated that
George Myles, Jr., falsified parts certifications on behalf of Eagle
NDT, Inc. Eagle NDT, Inc., previously held FAA Air Agency Certificate
No. M66R056Y.

**RECOMMENDATIONS**

Regulations require that type-certificated products conform to their
type design and be properly maintained. Aircraft owners, operators,
manufacturers, maintenance organizations, and parts suppliers and
distributors should inspect their aircraft and/or parts inventories for
aircraft parts sold by George Myles, Jr., and/or Miles Aviation between
2005 and 2006. If any parts certified by Miles Aviation are found
installed on aircraft, appropriate action should be taken. If any are
found in existing aircraft stock, it is recommended that the parts be
quarantined to prevent installation until a determination can be made
regarding their eligibility for installation.

District Office (FSDO) given below. The FAA would appreciate any
