** ****The owner supervised the manufacturer of **
**the part.**** **

## “NOTE”

**IT IS SUGGESTED THAT ANY PERSON INVOLVED IN THE**
**BUILDING OF OWNER PRODUCED PARTS adopt A QUALITY**
**SYSTEM SIMILAR IN DESIGN TO the following!**

**Incoming materials**
**conform to design data**
**properly identified**
**Materials must be suitably stored**
**Processes must be I/A/W specifications**
**Inspection of Parts being worked on**

**Notes:**
 MINOR ALTERATIONS   OR JUST MAINTENANCE REQUIRES ONLY A MAINTENANCE RECORD ENTRY.
THE LOCAL FABRICATION OF A PART WOULD REQUIRE ONLY A MAINTENANCE RECORD IF THE PART CONFORMS TO APPROVED DATA.
THE LOCAL FABRICATION OF A PART THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO APPROVED DATA WOULD HAVE TO BE EVALUATED TO    DETERMINE IF THE DEVIATIONS TO THE APPROVED DATA ARE MAJOR OR MINOR ALTERATIONS.
GUIDANCE FOR MAKING THE DETERMINATION OF MAJOR OR MINOR IS LISTED IN FAR 1 AND 43 APPENDIX A.
