V 7.05
Background
• In April 3, 2008, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure conducted a Hearing regarding safety issues at the FAA.
• In March 2008, the FAA initiated an AD audit.– Indicated a 98% compliance rate.– Identified a compliance issue with AD (2006-15-15).
• Resulted in flight cancellations for a large portion of MD-80 fleet.
• The FAA established an AD Compliance Review Team (CRT) to review events that caused a disruption to some airline schedules.
Federal AviationAdministration
Communications and 24/7 AMOC Process
V 7.06
• Independent Review Team (IRT) established by Secretary of DOT.– Team consisted of 5 aviation industry safety
experts – Tasked to evaluate and make recommendations to
improve• FAA’s implementation of the aviation safety system• FAA’s culture of safety
• The IRT issued their report on September 2, 2008– Identified 13 recommendations related to:
• ADs, Voluntary Disclosure Program, Culture of FAA, Safety Management Systems, Air Transportation Oversight System and the role of FAA Inspectors.

Communication
Finding 2:• The AEGs were not playing a significant role in either
the AD review process or the operational suitability determinations
Recommendation 2:• Strengthen the role of the AEG in developing and
implementing ADs• Ensure ASIs know the AEG is a resource in the AD
process• AEGs act as the liaison between CMOs/CHDOs for AD
implementation issues
Federal AviationAdministration
Communications and 24/7 AMOC Process
V 7.014
Finding No 8:• FAA administration of the AMOC process was reported to
be inconsistent and sound technical judgment did not always govern decisions
Recommendation 8:• FAA policymakers must ensure individuals responsible for
the control of the AMOC processes are fully aware of the scope of their responsibilities. Educating individuals will help ensure proper and prompt technical resolution of the problems.
• Staff availability--24/7 basis--(ACOs, AEGs, and CMOs)

Operators Role:• § 39.19 May I address the unsafe condition in a way
other than that set out in the airworthiness directive?
Yes, anyone may propose to FAA an alternative method of compliance or a change in the compliance time, if the proposal provides an acceptable level of safety. Unless FAA authorizes otherwise, send your proposal to your principal inspector. Include the specific actions you are proposing to address the unsafe condition. The principal inspector may add comments and will send your request to the manager of the office identified in the airworthiness directive (manager). You may send a copy to the manager at the same time you send it to the principal inspector.

24/7 Work Instruction:• The Work Instruction (WI) provides support from the
Aircraft Certification Service, (AIR) to the Flight Standards Service, (AFS) when there is an urgent need for an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) that impacts transport category airplanes.
1. AMOC support is needed after normal business hours and in order to support the Flight Standards Principal Inspectors (PIs)
2. AMOC support is needed to avoid significant commercial air transportation disruptions (i.e. approx. 10 or more aircraft). This is not intended to be used for AMOCs applicable to individual or small numbers of aircraft.

• Sharepoint with contact numbers for AFS use
• TAD Managers contacted by cell phone
• Evaluate request to determine:
– Tech staff availability?
– AMOC decision obvious if tech staff not available?
• Are airplanes in a condition for safe operation for some short interval
(i.e.10 days) until a final resolution can be determined?
– Coordinate with PIs, and AEGs (as needed)
• Use FAA letters or email to respond with AMOC

When is “24/7” Utilized?As a guideline, the “24/7” process may be utilized when there is
an urgent need for an AMOC which impacts transport airplanes, and:
– AMOC support is needed after normal business hours and in order to support Flight Standards PIs; and
– AMOC support is needed to avoid significant commercial air transportation disruptions (as a guideline the AMOC affects approximately 10 or more aircraft).
– The 24/7 program is not intended to be used for AMOCs applicable to individual or small numbers of aircraft.

Appropriate Use of 24/7:
• Operator determination that aircraft are out
of AD compliance
– Configuration issues with ADs that have been
complied with or are terminated
– Accidental misinterpretation of AD requirements
• Significant fleet disruption is possible (i.e.
10 or more airplanes)
