## FIELD APPROVAL PROCESS TRAINING

- 8300.10 CHG 16

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## Introduction 

- Joint effort  between
- Peter Pupator &
- Michael Heusser              Mark Wilson
- 907-271-2668                  907-271-5514
- Anchorage		     Alaska
- Aircraft Certification       Flight Standards

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## Objective

- To aid in the I/As implementation of Repairs/Alteration.
- Review the process taking place within the FAA  ACO & FSDO(s) for CHG 16 to Airworthiness Inspectors Handbook.
- To help standardize and facilitate the approval of major repairs and alterations process.
- To promote safe aircraft through safe designs.

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## Definitions:

- Approved Data (FAA Approved)
- Acceptable Data
- Follow –On Approval:
- Equipment of same make / model on similar model of aircraft.
- Legacy Field Approval:
- Alterations that are not allowed by current guidance
- Repeatedly approved prior to Oct. 1, 2003.
- Certification Basis:
- Refer to Type Certificate Data Sheets (TCDS) for existing cert. basis.
- CAR / 14 CFR Part
- Amendment level.

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## Definitions con’t:

- Coordinated Field Approval:
- Major Repair/Alteration that requires ACO assistance.
- Typically required for FMS or data that requires engineering evaluation.

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## Identify if repair/alteration is Major/Minor change to Type Design.
Identify if modification is Major/minor repair/alteration.
Identify Certification Basis of Aircraft
Acceptable data can be developed into Approved data by DER or ACO Engineer
Use IPC for basis for approved drawings.
Use SRM for basis for approved repair.
Alterations that may require engineering evaluation, Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) assistance, or STCs if Major Changes in Type Design.

- Identify if modification is Major/minor repair/alteration.
- Identify Certification Basis of Aircraft
- Acceptable data can be developed into Approved data by _DER or ACO Engineer_
- Use IPC for basis for approved drawings.
- Use SRM for basis for approved repair.
- Alterations that may require engineering evaluation, Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) assistance, or STCs if Major Changes in Type Design.

**Points of Discussion:**

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## CAM material:
Gives regulation with interpretation for intent.
Electrical Loads Analysis
MIL-E-7016F
CAM Flight Test Guide (sample test plans)
AC 23-8B (modern aircraft or CAR 3)
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)
Format, dovetail into existing format when available.  If not think about using ATA format.
Start Using the Checklists (beta testing)

## Designated Engineering Representative (DER)

- Expanded upon in later session
- Limited DER (lDER) system is now a reality, we need to have people from the community step up to the plate!

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## Training Aid Review

- Installation of Approved Belt Driven Generators and Alternators.
- Part 23, IFR, Day/Night aircraft.
- Installation of Propeller

- Sample Compliance Checklists (located on Website)
- http://www.alaska.faa.gov/flt_std/Aws/TngAids.cfm
- Belt Driven Generator Alternator.
- Oil Cooler Relocation.
- Fuel Line Re-routing.
- Extended Baggage.

- IA / Public Training, March 30, 2004

## Develop an Understanding or Plan with the FSDO/ACO to expedite processes for repetitive installations.

- Call Designated Engineering Representatives and find out their schedule constraints.
- Open an early line of communication with your ASI about upcoming approvals.
