Aero-News has learned a
conference on suspected unapproved aircraft parts will be held in
Australia next month. People from throughout the aviation industry
are urged to take part in the conference, which will be held August
21-23 at the Sydney Hilton.
The meeting will be run by Australia's Civil Aviation Safety
Authority (CASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration.
The conference will deliver a detailed understanding of the
processes that must be used to identify and avoid suspected
unapproved aircraft parts. It will also provide a full explanation
of the Federal Aviation Administration’s important Suspected
Unapproved Parts Program.
Unapproved aircraft parts pose a real danger to aviation safety
because the design and production quality of the components are
unknown.
Identifying unapproved parts can be difficult because they often
appear the same as approved parts, unknowingly putting the safety
of the aircraft at risk.
This means airlines, maintenance organizations, aviation
manufacturers and parts distributors must have systems for the
detection and reporting of unapproved parts.
Aviation regulators
such as CASA and the FAA then take responsibility for making sure
information on suspected unapproved parts is provided to the
aviation industry to make further detection and avoidance
possible.
Next month’s conference will provide the latest
information on suspected unapproved parts issues and allow people
taking part to ask questions of international experts.
Representatives with CASA tell ANN that air operators, aircraft
and parts manufacturers, parts distributors, repair stations and
anyone who handles aircraft parts will get valuable knowledge from
taking part.
