6 Rulemaking Activity Part 147, Aviation aintenance Technician School Revise the regulatory requirements concerning Curriculum, Operating Rules and Appendices A, B, C, and D in part 147. NPR published on 10/02/15 for public comment. However, it was extended until February 1, As of Jan. 7 th, 2016, revisions to four orders on ATS have been distributed to the Regional Offices for comments. 6

7 ajor Repairs and Alterations Data AC Standardized Procedures for Requesting Field Approval of Data, ajor Alterations, and Repairs. Document Align the AC with FAA Order (an AIR/AFS joint order). Changes include: Title change Removed Field Approval from title Adds DAR Function code 52 authority to perform field approval Change of DAS terminology to ODA Update procedures for Flight anual Supplemental approval ost significant: AIR requested cancelation of AC Submittal of Data to an ACO, a DER or an ODA for a ajor Repair or a ajor Alteration and added to the introduction of AC

8 ajor Repairs and Alterations Data AC aintenance and Alteration Data Establish working group to revise and address current issues. Focus Areas: Better define appreciably affects applicable to each airworthiness characteristic Address new and novel considerations (Software, Aircraft data networks, composite) Better address 43 Appendix A when not listed in the aircraft specifications issued by the FAA Activity just starting. Kick-off TBD. 8

9 Evolution of Contract aintenance Early Regulatory maintenance manual Requirement DOT/IG Issued Report (Certificated Part 145 repair stations) Congressional Hearing FAA Published Best FAA Practice Reviewed AC manual procedures NPR Published /2012 3/04/ SabreTech Value Jet Crash DOT/IG Issued Report (Noncertificated repair facilities) DOT/IG Issued Report (Outsourcing maintenance) 2012 FAA odernization Reform Act 9

10 Contract aintenance New Section / aintenance Provider any person who performs maintenance, preventive maintenance,. Covered work - means any of the following: Essential maintenance, if not performed properly or if improper parts or materials are used, could result in a failure, malfunction, or defect endangering the safe operation of an aircraft; Regularly scheduled maintenance; or A required inspection item on an aircraft. 10

11 Contract aintenance Each certificate holder who contracts for maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations must provide to its FAA Certificate Holding District Office, in a format acceptable to the FAA, a list that includes the name and physical (street) address, or addresses, where the work is carried out for each maintenance provider that performs work for the certificate holder, and a description of the type of maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration that is to be performed at each location. The list must be updated with any changes, including additions or deletions, and the updated list provided to the FAA in a format acceptable to the FAA by the last day of each calendar month. 11

12 Contract aintenance Directly in charge means having responsibility for covered work performed by a maintenance provider. A representative of the certificate holder directly in charge of covered work does not need to physically observe and direct each maintenance provider constantly, they must be available for consultation on matters requiring instruction or decision. 12

13 Safety Assurance System (h) format acceptable to the FAA. Screen shots of the maintenance category entry for contractors could be imported This acceptable format could be in excel 13

14 Safety Assurance System Field Offices transitioned to the SAS tool for 14 CFR part 121, 135 and

15 aintenance, Repair and Overhaul (RO) Audit and Data Sharing Initiative 15

16 Addressing the Issue Develop a process that will reduce the number of unnecessary audits. (Includes the multitude of regulator audits as well as those audits performed by certificated entities on each other) Focused risk-based inspections supported by data, in lieu of random selection. Address Safety anagement Systems as related to these audits. Briefings were held for field inspectors and management to evolve the thinking behind consolidation of CP surveillance and data sharing of identified risk. Revisions were made to FAA Order V6C2S40, V6C9S18, and V6C9S22 along with the SAS tools used to request repair station assistance. 16

17 Where we are going - Philosophy Past: Annual Regional Team Focused Inspections (R items) were mandated in FAA Order N (August 14, 2013) National Flight Standards Work Program Guidelines for air carrier contract maintenance providers. Present: The mandatory requirement for these inspections was removed in revision O of this Order (December 3, 2014). (P is current revision level.) Future: Regional Team Focused Inspections will be conducted based on risk indicators. Contract aintenance Providers (CP) will be audited based on risk with supporting data shared through systems such as SAS and SPAS. 17

18 Part 121 ATOS = Part 145 SAS ATOS EPI (Part 121) SAS EP (Part 145) 1.15 Did the maintenance provider appropriately perform maintenance? 1. Best describe how the procedures were followed to perform work for air carriers and commercial Operators per their maintenance program Did personnel performing required inspections; Hold an appropriate airman certificate, or eet 14 CFR and if the work is performed by a repair station located outside the United States? 1.6 Were on-wing required inspection items (essential maintenance) performed only by a listed essential maintenance provider? 2. Best describe how the air carrier maintenance RII procedures were followed to ensure that: #1 A person was designated (by title) to maintain a current list of RII inspectors; #2 Air carrier information was available to inspection personnel when the work was performed; and #3 aintenance and inspection personnel were separated in the organizational chart Did the maintenance provider appropriately perform maintenance? 1.21 Were maintenance provider personnel trained and competent to perform the assigned work? 1.12 Did the maintenance provider use current manual(s) or parts thereof? 3. Best describe how the procedures were followed to: #1 Perform line maintenance for 14 CFR Part 121, 135, or 129 Operators per their manual and approved maintenance program; #2 Perform maintenance with the necessary equipment, trained personnel, and technical data. 18

19 Part 121 ATOS = Part 145 SAS Continued ATOS EPI (Part 121) SAS EP (Part 145) 1.21 Were maintenance provider personnel trained and competent to perform the assigned work? 15. Verify that the personnel were trained on air carrier maintenance procedures. 16. Verify that the RII inspectors were: #1 Trained in the air carrier's RII procedures including how to perform and record the inspection; and #2 Qualified and authorized by the air carrier Did the maintenance provider accurately and completely document all maintenance they performed? A SAFE is pending that will ensure this question is incorporated into SAS. See Record ID: Er Id# Did the maintenance provider only accomplish the work the operator authorized? A SAFE is pending that will ensure this question is incorporated into SAS. See Record ID: Er Id#

20 Global Improvement Establish common regulatory acceptance of oversight standards between regulators for audits. o (AS 9100 International Aviation Quality Group or other standard) Increase audit efficiency thru standards harmonization. Reduce audit burden without compromising safety, target 15% in the first three years. 20

21 Outcome Streamlined and standardized audits Sharing of data Reduction in the number of audits Reduction in cost Reduction in duplication Enhance Safety 21
