Background

    The Office of Aviation Safety in the Federal Aviation
Administration chartered a team to assess the adequacy of current and
pending regulations, policy, guidance and past practices for non-Type
Certificate (TC) holders to obtain approval for developing replacement
parts, alterations, and repairs. This Repair Alteration Fabrication
(RAF) team reviewed all current regulations, policy and practices
pertaining to the approval of replacement parts, repairs and
alterations of critical engine parts. The team further reviewed
concerns raised by TC holders and others, including the evaluation of
other approval methods used by repair stations and owner/operator
maintenance facilities. The team met with industry groups and companies
to obtain additional information to assist them. The results of their
efforts are a number of conclusions and recommendations they believe
will improve the FAA's approval processes and foster the consistent
application of safety standards for replacement parts, repairs, and
alterations. This study is entitled ``Aviation Safety (AVS) Repair,
Alterations and Fabrication (RAF) Study.''

How To Obtain Copies

    You may get a copy of the proposed policy from the Internet
