Title:
Field Approval Meeting and Open Forum Discussion
Topic:
Changes to the Major Repair / Major Alteration Field Approval Process
Speaker(s):
Steven Douglas, David Hempe, Clint Wease, August Asay
Brief Description:
In June of 2011, the guidance that FAA Aviation Safety Inspectors use to perform Field Approvals of major repairs and major alterations changed. Specifically, Figure 4-68 of FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 4, Chapter 9, Section 1 was revised.
Although this change in the Airworthiness Inspectors Handbook has affected the timeliness to process some major repairs and major alterations via Field Approval’s, the FAA is still processing Field Approvals.
The FAA is hosting an event to convey recent changes to the Field Approval process and to solicit feedback and recommendations from the Alaskan industry groups, repair stations, air carriers, mechanics, pilots and the general public.
