Directives designed to prevent unsafe conditions and accidents.

Form 8010-4. When defects are reported which are likely to exist on 
other products of the same or similar design, the FAA may disseminate 
safety information to a particular section of the aviation community. 
The FAA also may adopt new regulations or issue Airworthiness 
Directives (AD's) to address a specific problem.

this information collection, including: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
