Title:
Tool Box Talk- The Field Approval of Major Alterations or Repairs - Hybrid Event
Topic:
The Second of Three Events Focusing on the Field Approval of Major Alterations or Repairs
Speaker(s):
Brandon Parker
Brief Description:
In the first week, we dove back into a discussion on the Field Approval process where we discussed four different case studies of unapproved major alterations that resulted in accidents. We covered what is needed for certification under the regulatory framework, what data might be required (and why), and we discussed the differences between Major Alterations, Minor Alterations, and Major Changes in Type Design. We also covered the pertinent regulations and publications. In our second event, we'll discuss the applicable FAA Orders and the Job Aid Inspectors use. We'll discuss the Advisory Circular that covers the submission of your application. And, we'll discuss what might require placarding compared to what could require a Flight Manual Supplement and who can approve each. For our third event on January 21st, we will use the tools we have covered to create a field approval request package. Please be aware that each event will build on information from the previous events.
