Designee Training Chapter 9. Authorized Functions. Apple Books Preview. Publisher Description. DERs may be limited to technical areas that do not fully cover the entire project. DER Data.
DER data can also be included in the data package to support a field approval request. Replacement and Modification Parts. Evaluating Alterations. Each alteration project should be examined on a case-by-case basis. The tables in Order This list is not all-inclusive. If an alteration is not identified on the list, it should be evaluated for eligibility for a field approval and, if eligible, evaluated for any additional assistance required engineering assistance or ACO coordination.
For alterations requiring an STC, the applicant should be advised to follow the guidance contained in the current edition of AC , Guide for Obtaining a Supplemental Type Certificate.
Coordination with ACOs. The ACOs may assist in the determination of whether an alteration is eligible for a field approval or should be approved in some other manner, such as an STC.
The ACOs may also assist in the approval of the technical data. Eligibility Determination. It should be noted that some items in the job aid require either supporting DER-approved engineering data or concurrence from an ACO for a field approval. Some other items require evaluation to determine if the field approval process may be used. DARs may request that FAA engineering personnel help them confirm the assumptions on which they base their approval of the data supporting the major alteration or repair.
DARs may also ask ACO engineering personnel to help determine whether a proposed modification has appropriate and comprehensive data or whether additional data are necessary. ACO Approval.
The ACO will review the proposed alteration or repair and concur or recommend changes. Alterations Requiring a Flight Manual Supplement. Alterations requiring a flight manual supplement or changes to the operating limitations must be coordinated with the ACO, unless the AFS inspector or DAR has been specifically authorized to sign the document s. Supplement Approval.
DARs specifically authorized to approve flight manual supplements may only approve supplements associated with follow-on installations for the following systems and equipment, provided the supplement content is consistent with the original supplement previously approved by the FAA under a type certificate TC or STC certification, and provided the supplement format is consistent with the applicable flight manual and applicable guidance.
Operational Checks. Additional information and limitations are described in Order Electronic FAA Form Electronic versions of FAA Form may be utilized by the modifier. This includes any necessary attachments.
The interactive Web-based electronic Forms Service provides users the ability to fill out, digitally sign, and print copies of FAA Form online.
The modifier forwards the forms directly to the FAA when using this system. DARs authorized to issue field approvals must be equipped and capable of processing electronic submissions of FAA Form Approval Use. Data approvals issued for one aircraft are applicable only to the aircraft described in FAA Form , block 1. The alteration may be used as acceptable data as a basis for obtaining approval on other aircraft. DARs must not approve data for use on multiple aircraft.
The applicant is to develop the ICA and present it in conjunction with the field approval request. Type Design. For field-approved major alterations to aircraft and engines certificated under the CARs, the ICA must meet the continued airworthiness and maintenance requirements from the original type design. In cases where the major alteration is a total new design, or a substantial complete redesign that the CARs did not address, the major alteration must meet the applicable 14 CFR requirements.
The checklist provides acceptable guidance for these types of installations. ICA Required. The vast majority of field-approved major alterations are simplistic in design and execution. Major alterations approved before October 7, , were not required to have ICAs.
A compliance checklist must be provided by the applicant for each field approval requested. Prior to data approval, the designee will review the checklist for completeness and accuracy. The checklist should identify the aircraft or product, the certification basis, and all applicable regulations affected by the major repair or alteration.
Adjacent to each regulation listed, the applicant must document how they will comply with the regulatory requirements. See Appendix B for a sample of the form. Ensure that the information supplied is complete and appropriate before proceeding with the field approval request. To ensure that all required information is available, the DAR may elect to have the applicant complete the appropriate portions of the Field Approval Checklist and the Compliance Checklist located in Appendix B.
Coordination with the Applicant. The DAR should coordinate the following with the applicant: Note: The applicant should be warned not to start the major repair or alteration before the field approval is completed and block 3 of the FAA Form is signed.
Evaluate the Proposal. Determine if the applicant has conducted an evaluation to ensure that the proposed alteration will not impact the airworthiness of the aircraft. The applicant will provide verification that he or she has inspected the aircraft and reviewed the aircraft records to ensure compatibility of this alteration or repair with previously approved modifications.
Evaluate the Data Package. Additional information on this subject is contained in AC Denial of Proposed Repair or Alteration Data. If the applicant is unwilling or unable to comply with the requirements to obtain the requested field approval, terminate the process by notification in writing to the applicant. This notification should include the reason for denial. The applicant should be given the opportunity to make necessary corrections within a reasonable time.
If the applicant fails to make the necessary corrections, terminate the process, return all submitted documents, and notify the managing office. Routing of Completed Field Approval Documents. The DAR will disposition the completed documents as follows: 1 Each FAA Form supplied by the applicant, including attachments, will be returned to the applicant.
Managing Office Review. Upon receipt of a completed field approval or denial, accomplish the following: 1 Review FAA Form to ensure that all block 8 airworthiness requirements and ICA requirements are satisfied. Documents containing proprietary data should be shredded or discarded in a suitable manner. Corrective Action. The managing office must take immediate appropriate corrective action to correct any discrepancies affecting airworthiness.

This order cancels FAA Order A national Designee Standardization Team DST was chartered to establish a single, standardized, national management handbook for manufacturing, engineering, and maintenance designees. As a result, the DST evaluated new and existing criteria for training, oversight, renewal, and termination procedures for incorporation into this order. On the basis of a national evaluation conducted in , the DST determined that it was not necessary to make significant changes to the existing processes.
The primary goals of designee management are safe aircraft, continuous improvement, and process standardization.
