G. ODA Improvement Action Plan. Objective. Improving FAA Certification Capacity Continue to Improve T imeliness of FAA Actions with Expected F lat or Reduced B udget Levels Ensuring ODA Provides Expected Efficiency for FAA & Industry Beginning ODA Projects in a Timely Manner
E N D
Objective • Improving FAA Certification Capacity • Continue to Improve Timeliness of FAA Actions with Expected Flat or Reduced Budget Levels • Ensuring ODA Provides Expected Efficiency for FAA & Industry • Beginning ODA Projects in a Timely Manner • Fully Utilizing Available Delegations • FAA/Industry Collaboration toward Improvements in Certification Process Effectiveness & Efficiency • Strengthen Applicant Processes and Increase Robustness • FAA Resources Focus on Systems Oversight and Risk Based Level of Project Involvement
ODA Action Plan: Status Improvement CategoryActions • Proper Communications • Unit Member (UM) Selection • Certification Project Initiation • Procedures Manual Revisions • Full & Efficient Use • Use of ODA Data 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Implemented Closed On Track 3
ODA Action Plan: Open Items • Sequencing for ODA (Red) • Revised procedures issued for public comment in 2013 • Revised SOP planned for December 2014 • Assess after implementation • Risk Based Resource Targeting for ODA • FAA considering approach for ODA projects • Consider Allowing CAA Design Organizations to Support ODA • Standardized UM Training – Suppliers to Multiple ODAs • Industry/FAA to establish joint team • Enhance ODA Approval Activities Prior to Project Start • Industry work with OMT to implement
ODA Action Plan: Implementation • Order 8100.15A issued June 2011 • Streamlined FAA Review Process and Project Start • Order 8100.15B issued May 2013 • Facilitate Full Utilization and Cultural Shift • ODA Recommend Areas for FAA Involvement • FAA Document Reason for Involvement • Change 1 issued Feb 2014 • Certification Plan Improvements
ODA MetricsCert Plan Response Time (goal 30 days) • Considerable improvement from 2011 Avg. of 60-90 Days (industry data)
ODA Metrics - Conclusions • Trending Shows FAA Meeting Goals (on avg.) • Does Not Reflect Some Experiences/Potential Issues • Large Program Response Time is Much Longer (130 day avg) • Certain Disciplines Often Remain Open Until Late in Program • Next Steps • Analyze Turn Around Metrics to Identify Issues • Examples: First pass yield on cert plans and number >90-days • Industry to Provide Details on Outliers • Implement UM Appointment Authorization • Assess Effectiveness of ODA Improvements • Implementation of Key Improvements in January 2014 • Industry/FAA Workshop in June 2014
ODA Performance – DOIP Results • The Delegated Organization Inspection Program (DOIP) • Assesses system-level procedures and compliance, • Inspects how the ODA holder manages the ODA unit, and • Evaluates the ODA unit's technical proficiency • Currently 87 organizations are ODA holders • For the 2-year period between 2011 and 2012: 79 DOIP Audits were conducted resulting in 799 discrepancies • 31% of discrepancies involve regulatory violations, primarily ODA holders not complying with their procedures manual • 16% of discrepancies were technical discrepancies found in design/substantiation data or airworthiness certification packages
Continuing ODA Initiatives • FAA Continued Focus on Systems Approach to Oversight • Documented Level of Involvement • Restructured FAA Oversight Procedures • Audit Training for FAA personnel (ACPRR Recommendation) • Industry Commitment to ODA System Performance • Adherence to Procedures and Corrective Action • Strengthen Self-Audit • Increases Robustness and Confidence in Systems Approach • Continuing ODA Policy Improvements - Expand Delegation • ICA Functions • Noise and Emissions Functions
ODA Improvement – Next Steps • Analysis of ODA Turn Around Metrics • Analyze Metrics to Identify Issues and Determine Resolution • Process to Address Significant Exceedences (i.e. 60-90 days) • Report to GAMA/FAA Leadership Team • Reinforce Importance Program Management • CPI Principles – PSP and PSCP • Communications, Program Planning and Accountability • Issues Resolution • Consider Actions to(GAMA/FAA PACT)
