Parts Approval
by Hamad Hollan
ANSWER: For a new part to be eligible for installation on a U.S. registered aircraft, you would need an FAA Form 8130-3, an EASA Form 1 from the manufacturer, or a certificate of conformance from the manufacturer attesting to the parts conformity to an FAA production approval. For a used part to be eligible for installation on a U.S. registered aircraft, you would need an FAA Form 8130-3, or an EASA Form 1 with a return to service statement (required by FAR 43.9) on the form. This is commonly referred to as a "Dual Release" EASA Form 1. Refer to AC 20-62D which can be downloaded from this website by clicking on the "Advisory Circulars" button on the left hand side of this page. |
