AIA Reviewing FAA’s Final Rule on Aircraft Production
The FAA is amending its certification procedures and identification requirements for aeronautical products and articles. The revisions are targeted to take effect April 14, 2010.
AIA’s Civil Aviation Manufacturing Subcommittee will host the FAA’s Production and Airworthiness Certification Procedures Branch on Dec. 3 to review and discuss the significant amendments for production and quality system requirements in 14 CFR Parts 1, 21, 43, and 45.
The final rule is designed to update and standardize requirements for production approval holders, revise export airworthiness approval requirements to facilitate global manufacturing, move all part marking requirements from part 21 to part 45 and amend identification requirements for products and articles.
The FAA says the rule modifications will continue to promote safety by ensuring that the design and manufacture of all aircraft and aeronautical products and articles will meet minimum standards and reflect the current global manufacturing environment. For years, AIA members have been working with FAA to provide industry views on this significant rule.
A copy of FAA’s Final Rule is available on FAA's Web site.
