Questions



Stump the Regulator

Presented to: 2018 Engineering Recurrent Seminar

Stump the Regulator

• Open Q&A session with everyone from FAA Headquarters on stage

• We reserve the right to tap into local FAA knowledge

• Any question relating to delegation of any kind is fair game

• Prize to those who manage to stump us Note: not liking our answer is not stumping us


Sample questions

• Question: – As a DER I last took the General Session training in Sept of 2016. My renewal is in Aug of 2018. Can I be renewed or do I have to take the training before?

• Answer: – Yes, you can. The General Session training requirement is once every 2 calendar years, which means you have until Dec 31st of 2018 to take the training in this scenario.


Sample questions

• Question: – Can a Repair Specification be created for minor repairs?

• Answer: – No, Repair Specification approvals are for major repairs ONLY. Minor repairs only require acceptable data, not approved data, and therefore no 8110-3 or 8100-9 is required.

Ref 8110.37F and 14CFR 43


Sample questions

• Question: – I see there is something called a “vintage DER” Do I have to have that before I can work on Vintage Airplanes?

• Answer: – No, a vintage DER is a DER who did not meet all the qualifications of a DER but who has demonstrated expertise in a certain type of vintage aircraft.

Ref 8110.37F


Questions before we begin?


Ok, then let’s see if you can STUMP THE REGULATORS



New Policy


New Regulations/Policy of Note

• 8110.37F • 14 CFR 23 • AMOC Order 8110.103B • PMA for minor modification articles • Lithium Battery policy memo • New DER “landing page” website


Recent Policies


Order 8110.37 Revision F • 8100.37F was released in August of 2017 • Here are some of the changes incorporated in Revision F


What’s in 8110.37F • No more DER Candidates – Anyone who would have been identified as a Candidate DER may now be appointed as a DER with authority limited to Recommend Approval

– Existing Candidates may either be appointed or terminated

• A note was added to require the removal of Administrative DERs

• A new section on rescinding an 8110-3 after it’s been issued


What’s in 8110.37F

• Added a section on repair of TSO products – Cannot just repair a part that was produced under a TSOA to the TSO

– Must address the certification basis of the product upon which the repaired part will be installed on

• Added instructions in Appendix B on how to document new part 23 findings on the 8110-3 form – Now required to list the means of compliance accepted under 14 CFR § 23.2010 in addition to the regulations


Questions?


14 CFR Part 23 rewrite

• The entire part 23 has been rewritten • Final rule was out in December 2016 • It becomes effective on August 30th 2017 • The philosophy is to have the WHAT we want to happen in the rule (e.g. keep occupants from severe injury during a crash) and put the HOW into Method Of Compliance (MOC) documents


14 CFR Part 23 rewrite • The rule and the MOC documents will be used together to show compliance

• Initially the new form (Rule and MOC documents) will look very similar to the current 14 CFR Part 23 at amendment 62 because that was the starting point for the ASTM documents

• As time goes by changes to the ASTM MOC’s and other accepted MOC documents will result in a more streamlined process for applicants



• How does this affect DERs? – Actually very little impact – If you currently have a delegation for part 23 you may, when delegated, find compliance to the new part 23

– The compliance finding will be to the new performance based regulation (all new numbering system!)



– The DER will list the new regulation in block 9 applicable requirements.

– The DER will also be required to list the MOC in block 7 in the list of data block



• If you will be finding compliance to the new part 23, you’ll most likely need to subscribe to ASTM to get access to the MOC’s. $75/year.


Questions?


AMOC Order 8110.103B

• The AMOC order has been rewritten. • It allows for the FAA to delegate AMOC authority in certain cases

• Still limited to company DERs and ODA’s and only certain AD’s.

• It can be found at • http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance _Library/rgOrders.nsf/0/9EB2E3C417522B5E 86258030005AD1FC?OpenDocument

Questions?


The New DER Landing Page


How to find it?


Screenshot


The New DER Landing Page

• Serves as a place for DERs to start looking for FAA information – Goal is for any information useful to a DER is only one or two clicks away

– It has a newsfeed for updated topics – It has a library of useful information such as links to forms etc.

– Please put on your comment form any information you think would be useful to have on the site

– A link for user feedback and suggestions is on each page


Questions?


Title Page

Designee Management System (DMS)



What is DMS?

• DMS is a web based tool for the FAA to use in managing its designees

• Created in Response to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit of the FAA

• Replaces the individual systems that each line of business was using


What will DMS do? • It will roll up – Appointment – Renewal – Terminate as well as provide for the management of the delegation


Current Deployment Schedule

• DMS is up and running for Manufacturing, Aeromedical and AFS Designees

• DERs are next • We will be working on the requirements document through this fiscal year (Oct)

• DERs should not expect to have to do anything until early 2019.


DMS

• When we do transfer your data over from our existing system we will need you to verify that the data we have is correct

• We may do that before or after the transfer depending on what is easiest

DER: Roles and Responsibilities



Roles and Responsibilities

• This is a refresher of some information presented in the initial DER training

• We’ll remind you of: – Use of DER Numbers – Proper Use of Form 8110-3 – DERs and Conformity – Certification Plans


Use of DER Numbers • There are limited instances where it is appropriate for DERs to use their DER identification number.

• DERs have used their DER numbers inappropriately. • We DO NOT permit DERs to use their DER identification number when signing: – Company or personal reports – Drawings – Service documents – Letters

• DER’s signature on these types of documents does not constitute FAA approval.


Use of DER Numbers

• DERs may use their DER identification numbers in five places: – FAA Form 8110-3 - Statement of Compliance with Airworthiness Standards • DERs find compliance to airworthiness standards.

– FAA Form 8100-1 - Conformity Inspection Record • DERs may be authorized to disposition items found to be unsatisfactory during the conformity inspection process.

– FAA Form 8120-10 - Request for Conformity • DERs may be authorized to initiate a request for conformity.

– Repair Specifications • DERs with a special delegation are authorized to approve repair specifications

– Certification Plans • DERs are encouraged to review the applicant’s certification plan prior to review and acceptance by the FAA.


Questions?


Proper Use of Form 8110-3

• Even though it is referred to as a data approval, except for major repairs or alterations, the Form 8110-3 signifies only that the data complies with the airworthiness standard

• In general, Form 8110-3 is not an FAA approval to produce parts or otherwise use the data

• Form 8110-3 signifies that the DER has verified compliance on behalf of the FAA, or has reviewed the data and recommends that the FAA concur with this recommendation



• A DER authorized to approve technical data may decline to approve any or all portions of the data. – The DER must NOT submit a 8110-3 Form (ref 8110.37F Chapter 3 paragraph 1(e) )

– The DER must discuss the reasons for not approving the data with the project office.

• For major repairs or major alterations • Approval of the engineering design data is required before the repair or alteration may be returned to service.

• Form 8110-3 serves as: Finding of compliance Approval to accomplish the repair or alteration



• Form 8110-3 is used to document a finding of compliance with airworthiness standards.

• Form 8110-3 is NOT used to document a DER’s participation in or review of any other part of a certification project, such as: – Certification plans – Compliance checklists – Conformity plans – Project schedules – Proposed certification basis


Questions?


DERs and Conformity

• “Conformity” is verification that aircraft and parts were manufactured according to the approved engineering drawings.

• Form 8100-1, Conformity Inspection Record, is used to document conformity inspections during type, production, and airworthiness certification programs. – Lists all discrepancies and nonconformities identified during a conformity inspection of a part, installation, or entire product.

– Records corrective actions taken to resolve discrepancies and nonconformities.


DERs and Conformity

• Items identified on the Conformity Inspection Record as unsatisfactory are referred to as UNSATs, and must be cleared before the part, installation, or product can be issued an approval or certificate

• A DER may be authorized to participate in the conformity process when corrective action to resolve any UNSATs involves the engineering design

• All inspections conducted by an ASI or designee to determine conformity to an approved type design before an airworthiness certificate is issued must be recorded on FAA Form 8100-1


DERs and Conformity

• DERs authorized to disposition UNSATs on a Form 8100-1 must be identified by the ACO requesting the inspection

• DERs are specified by name and DER identification number on the Request for Conformity, Form 8120-10


DERs and Conformity

• An authorized DER can determine, from an engineering standpoint, if the nonconformance is acceptable, if the part must be reworked, or if it must be scrapped. – If the discrepancy allows the part, installation, or product to comply with the airworthiness standard, the DER may approve a drawing revision to clear the UNSAT

– Form 8110-3 only approves the drawing revision, and does not reference Form 8100-1

– DER’s entry on Form 8100-1 to clear the UNSAT should reference the new Form 8110-3


DERs and Conformity

• DERs authorized to clear unsatisfactory conditions/nonconformities will enter the nonconformity in block 9, and describe the corrective action in block 13

• May also transmit this information to the inspector or DMIR/DAR-f to be recorded on the 8100-1

• When corrective action is completed, the DER will: – Line through and initial the UNSAT in block 12 – Sign the corrective action in block 13 with his/her DER identification number


Request for Conformity

• The Project ACO may designate a Management DER to initiate this request on their behalf

• The DER completes a Form 8120-10, Request for Conformity (RFC)

• The completed RFC is sent to the MIDO to request the inspection, whether by a MIDO inspector or by one of their designees, a DMIR or DAR-F


Request for Conformity

• Instructions for completing the RFC are found as a separate instruction sheet attached to the printed version of the form, or as the first two pages of the electronic version of the form

• DERs initiating the RFC on behalf of the ACO should record their name and DER identification number on the line identified for the FAA project manager

• The completed RFC must be reviewed and signed by the FAA project engineer


Questions?


Certification Plans

• We encourage DERs to review and coordinate on certification documents submitted to the FAA, such as certification plans

• DERs may use their DER number and title on the certification plan cover sheet to indicate that they reviewed the documents

• A DER’s signature on a certification plan does not constitute FAA approval


Questions?


Aircraft Certification Transformation



Introduction

• Aircraft Certification Service (AIR) Transformation – Responsive to

• Congressional Direction (FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012)

• Industry requests for more efficient certification processes

• Discuss evolution of FAA/Industry roles and responsibilities – Expectations are changing as we strive for efficiency


AIR Transformation is our holistic approach to becoming more efficient and effective


Refresh Certification Strategy AIR’s future state model will streamline compliance activities and promotes early and iterative actions between industry partners and AIR.


Improve Our Organization •The future state AIR organization is aligned by function (key capabilities of each Division below).


Next Steps for Implementation

“Realignment” was the first visible step of a phased implementation of the functional organization

AIR realigned the organization in July 2017 allowing us to institutionalize process improvements (currently in progress).

Realignment changed management structure of AIR’s existing local offices (ACOs, MIDOs, etc.) to align with AIR’s functional divisions. ACOs are currently part of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, AIR-700.

Industry POCs have been retained to ensure seamless relationship management and to facilitate contact with the appropriate AIR employees.

AIR will continue to brief industry on implementation status and to solicit feedback.

As an outcome of realignment, AIR’s Four-Directorate structure ceased to exist. Directorate standards functions now reside in the Policy and Innovation Division AIR-600


Evolution of FAA/Industry roles and responsibilities • Goals: – Provide ability to better manage workload and be more responsive

– Define involvement based on compliance risk – Maximize applicant’s capability to show compliance – Develop an applicant base fully capable and competent in showing compliance so that the FAA can focus its resources on risk based oversight

– Expand FAA recognition of applicant showing only (ASO) for compliance


Evolution of FAA/Industry roles and responsibilities • Strategic Objectives:

– Support an empowered FAA workforce who embrace risk based oversight for applicants that demonstrate a compliance culture.

– Utilize ASO policy memo on targeted certification activities

– Build/Enhance a systems approach to certification within the applicant’s organization


Summary • FAA Transformation is responsive to:

– Congressional Direction (FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012) – Industry requests for more efficient certification processes

• Implementation of FAA initiatives that support the transformation have already begun: – Risk Based Level of Project Involvement Tools (RBRTa/RBRTo) – Certification Process Improvement (CPI) Guide Revision – Recognition of ASO

• Next step is to continue to refine the organization and promote early and iterative actions between industry partners and AIR

• Streamlined Validation for Basic STCs and some TCs • Limited Technical Validation for everything else

– AIR-400 online training course will be available via DRS after March 22nd, 2018 • Course number and release date are TBD


DERs and International Policy • A DER can be used in international work: – To make findings on behalf of the FAA for

• U.S. State-of-Design (SoD) products • U.S. State-of-Registry (SoR) aircraft

– TCCA SoR is allowed under exception • Other activities as authorized by the appointing ACO and per FAA policy – e.g. technical assistance (witness a test for another civil aviation authority)

• A DER can NOT be used: – To make compliance determinations directly for a FCAA

– In FAA Shadow Programs of FCAAs (typically)


DERs and International Policy, Cont’d

• ICAO places responsibility for an aircraft’s airworthiness with the State of Registry – N-registered aircraft are FAA’s responsibility – Non-N registered aircraft are the responsibility of their SoReven if they are U.S. SoD products

– DERs act only on behalf of the FAA and can only provide FAAapprovals as authorized by the FAA

• Following countries require notificationprior to designee activity within their sovereign boarders: – Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia, & Taiwan – Also, all non-bilateral agreement countries


DERs and International Policy, Cont’d • Supporting a U.S. company in FV requests – Your experience as a DER is a benefit even when not officially acting as a DER

• Project Familiarization Meetings – Know the differences between the foreign requirements and the U.S. requirements • U.S. regulations are not always the more stringent standard

• Be proactive in identifying differences and means for showing compliance

– A few FCAA’s set certification basis on date of application to FCAA (thus not to the FAA)


DERs and International Policy, Cont’d • Project Planning & Management – Help your company develop a good relationship with the FCAA by: • Submitting your application as early as possible to the FAA – Many FCAAs have even more limited resources than us – Do not expect success if unrealistic schedules are asked of the FAA and or the FCAA

• Discussing problems and issues openly and immediately with your ACO project manager

– Avoid supplying unnecessary data • Some data is not allowed to be shared (i.e. Export Control or Sensitive Security Information (SSI))

• Ref. the applicable IP and/or Order 8110.52B


DERs and International Policy, Cont’d • Project Planning & Management – Stated again, keep your ACO involved in the process • Report to ACO when meetings with the FCAA seem to become training sessions

• Know your export control responsibilities

– Raise issues with the ACO to avoid problems on follow-on projects • e.g., type validation principles not being followed • Note guidance within the applicable IP

– These efforts support our internal requirements for our Bilateral Relationship Management (BRM) process


DER Do’s and Don’ts • When Working on Foreign Activities – DO

• Read Order 8110.52 and the applicable bilateral agreement –specifically the IPA (e.g., scopes of IPA vary greatly)

• Recognize that bilateral agreements are government-to-government agreements, not applicant to authority

• Be well prepared at meetings with the FCAA • Work through your ACO; keep advisor involved • Submit 8110-3’s and data to FAA • Contact your ACO if you feel pressured by a FCAA • Keep your advisor aware of all international activities

– DON’T • Work directly with FCAA unless instructed by ACO • Provide 8110-3’s or data directly to FCAA for validation projects • Put your DER number on FCAA forms

Use of Video and Connectivity Technologies (Draft Policy)

Purpose: This policy statement describes the policy and procedures to enable an FAA-authorized witness to remotely witness engineering tests, conformity inspections, and issue airworthiness approvals using video

14


Part 23 ARC Recommendation • FAA develop policy to enable remote test witnessing

• Remote witnessing could -– Reduce designee travel-related costs – Improve certification timeliness – Reduce FAA oversight burden

• Strong interest and support for policy

15


Current Status • Drafted policy addressing witnessing for engineering tests – Public comment period closed March 1, 2018 – Mostly supportive comments – Revising policy to address feedback

• Industry feedback – Policy should be less prescriptive – Expand scope to include manufacturing and airworthiness aspects

– Develop Advisory Circular to address broad use of technology

16


Request Process • Proposed using Project Specific Certification Plan • Describe:

– Testing associated risks – Clarity and maturity of test procedures and test complexities – Skills of applicant representatives and overall experience with conducting test(s)

– Designee’s experience and familiarity with the test and facility/ test personnel

– Equipment setup – Additional considerations – Acknowledge risks

• Concurrence needed from all applicable designees and project managing office

17


Documentation • Additional details outlined within the test plan

• Witness provides record for inclusion in test report – Reference FAA Order 8110.4, paragraph 2-6(d)(1)

• Equipment and setup must enable witness to verify all requisite conditions are met and a proper evaluation can be performed

18


Considerations • Time stamping • Multiple cameras, viewing angles, zoom • Resolution and field of view appropriate for tests

• Special Lighting • Environmental / weather conditions • Loss of sensory perception • Policies restricting video usage

19


Procedures and Records

• Same basic process as witnessing on-site – Conformity complete – Unsatisfactory comments dispositioned – Video setup adequate for proper witnessing

• Video will not be retained in the project file – The video is a tool to verify proper test execution – Witness provides in documentation: equipment used, chronological description of tests and adjustment of equipment and adequacy of the video

20

Summary

• Using video and connectivity technologies can be a viable option

• Draft Policy being expanded to include conformity inspections and airworthiness approvals

• ECD September 2018

Topics for Bonus Session

Presented to: 2018 DER Recurrent Seminar

Bonus Session

• Repairs and Alterations • Repair Specification • Management DERs


Repairs and Alterations

• Some Issues: – DERs being asked to approve data for minor repairs – Confusion over where the “original” 8110-3 is supposed to go • New in 8110.37F

– The DER must retain the original Form 8110-3 and send a copy to their managing office.

– Insufficient data being used to approve the major repair (e.g. the thumb approach)

– Use of prescribed 8110-3 notes (still seeing the “… is not an installation approval”


Repair Specification

• Repair Specifications provide an alternative to the major repair technical data as well as the methods, techniques and/or practices contained in the current manufacturer’s manuals, service bulletins, or ICA

• Approval as an RS is required for multiple-use major repairs that do not come from the DAH

• They are used only for major repairs


RS DER Role

• Manage as a project (cert plan, compliance plan)

• Account for all disciplines • Account for maintenance requirements (ICA) when affected or “no impact” statement

• Meet the 8110.37 policy requirements for an RS


RS DER Role

• Not used for part production unless part consumed in repair

• Not used for “process spec” approval except for as used in the course of the major repair


Repair Specification

• Some of the issues we’ve seen: – Not being used for major repairs – Not containing sufficient data

• Doesn’t define the starting state with enough detail • Doesn’t contain sufficient instructions to accomplish repair

– Approving the RS with a 8110-3 – FAA not realizing that a DER with RS approval can approve (unless specifically limited) RS utilizing data from other DERs


Management DERs

• Do manage a project for the ACO • May issue conformity requests when delegated

• Act as a liaison between applicant and ACO • Don’t approve certification plans with a 8110-3


Management DER (during a project) • Use a cert plan & keep it updated, • Coordinate necessary changes with ACO • Resolve issues (changes in MoC, designees, suppliers, test details)

• Refer to the compliance listing part of it as the method that compliance was shown (ref 21.20(a)/21.97)

• Ensure applicant understands requirement to make a certifying statement and that it’s not based on DER findings


http:21.20(a)/21.97

Management DER (outside of a project) • Make sure you are representing the FAA position when project planning with applicant

• Don’t oversell your authority or capability • When you present yourself as a management DER – are you doing what the FAA would otherwise do?
