  14. FAA Regulation Review AD Compliance §  39.5   When does FAA issue airworthiness directives?

If the requirements of an airworthiness directive have not been met, you violate §39.7 each time you operate the aircraft or use the product. §  39.11   What actions do airworthiness directives require? Airworthiness directives specify inspections you must carry out, conditions and limitations you must comply with, and any actions you must take to resolve an unsafe condition. Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance

  16. FAA Regulation Review AD Compliance §  39.13   Are airworthiness directives part of the Code of Federal Regulations?

Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance

  18. FAA Regulation Review AD Compliance §  39.17   What must I do if a change in a product affects my ability to accomplish the actions required in an airworthiness directive? If a change in a product affects your ability to accomplish the actions required by the airworthiness directive in any way, you must request FAA approval of an alternative method of compliance. Unless you can show the change eliminated the unsafe condition, your request should include the specific actions that you propose to address the unsafe condition. Submit your request in the manner described in §39.19. Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance

  19. FAA Regulation Review AD Compliance §  39.19   May I address the unsafe condition in a way other than that set out in the airworthiness directive? Yes, anyone may propose to FAA an alternative method of compliance or a change in the compliance time, if the proposal provides an acceptable level of safety. Unless FAA authorizes otherwise, send your proposal to your principal inspector. Include the specific actions you are proposing to address the unsafe condition. The principal inspector may add comments and will send your request to the manager of the office identified in the airworthiness directive (manager). You may send a copy to the manager at the same time you send it to the principal inspector. If you do not have a principal inspector send your proposal directly to the manager. You may use the alternative you propose only if the manager approves it. Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance

  20. FAA Regulation Review AD Compliance §  39.21   Where can I get information about FAA-approved alternative methods of compliance?

  21. FAA Regulation Review AD Compliance §  39.23   May I fly my aircraft to a repair facility to do the work required by an airworthiness directive? Yes, the operations specifications giving some operators authority to operate include a provision that allow them to fly their aircraft to a repair facility to do the work required by an airworthiness directive. If you do not have this authority, the local Flight Standards District Office of FAA may issue you a special flight permit unless the airworthiness directive states otherwise. To ensure aviation safety, FAA may add special requirements for operating your aircraft to a place where the repairs or modifications can be accomplished. FAA may also decline to issue a special flight permit in particular cases if we determine you cannot move the aircraft safely. Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance

  22. FAA Regulation Review AD Compliance §  39.25   How do I get a special flight permit? Apply to FAA for a special flight permit following the procedures in 14 CFR 21.199. Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance

In some cases an airworthiness directive incorporates by reference a manufacturer's service document. In these cases, the service document becomes part of the airworthiness directive. In some cases the directions in the service document may be modified by the airworthiness directive. If there is a conflict between the service document and the airworthiness directive, you must follow the requirements of the airworthiness directive. Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance

  25. Duncan Aviation’s (RSGOM) AD Compliance AD Compliance information is on page 01-33-01/02. RESPONSIBILITY: Federal Aviation Regulations place the primary responsibility of airworthiness of an aircraft on the registered owner/operator. This person is responsible for compliance with AD’s applicable to the airframe, engine, propeller, appliance, and parts and components for all aircraft it owns or operates. Maintenance personnel at Duncan Aviation are responsible for researching and/or complying with airworthiness directives as contracted by the owner/operator or as mandated by the inspection being approved for return to service.The owner/operator may decline this AD research at their discretion. When a type certificated product is being inspected in accordance with a Continuous Inspection Program or any small or limited inspection under 91.409, Duncan Aviation is only responsible to comply with airworthiness directives directly applicable to the inspection being performed.

  26. Duncan Aviation’s (RSGOM) AD Compliance RSGOMpage 01-33-01/02 Cont’d: All non type certificated components repaired or overhauled by Duncan Aviation require an AD research to be performed before approval for return to service. Components removed from the aircraft for access only do not require AD research unless it is part of an inspection described above. AD research is not required for Static system and transponder certifications under Parts 91.411 and 91.413 unless a component or part thereof is removed for maintenance. PROCEDURE: AD research can be accomplished using the following means: • Research via the Internet, primarily the FAA’s own website, www.faa.gov. The person performing the research accesses the AD section of the website and follows the instructions for AD research provided. • Research using a subscription service, either in paper format or via the Internet. This may include the products OEM manual subscription service or on-line AD’s compiled by the OEM for their products. • Duncan Aviation Procedure TRK-2000 titled Research Process, Tracker Department, latest revision, and TRK-3000 entitled Master Database Entry, Tracker, latest revision, describe a means of AD research utilized by the Records and Research department. Records and Research technicians utilize this program to perform AD research on type certificated products maintained at Duncan Aviation’s Lincoln and Battle Creek facilities. and Duncan Aviation Quality Assurance AD Compliance
