New Hope For Elder Aircraft

EAA Participates In Aging Aircraft Meeting 

Concerns about the needs of elder aircraft are being addressed by the FAA and leading aviation interests. Better yet; there is a solid expectation for positive changes in the coming year.

Work on an FAA Advisory Circular for documenting approved substitute standard parts and materials was conducted at a meeting of the FAA Aging Aircraft Ad Hoc Committee held this week in Kansas City, Missouri. Representing EAA were Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs Earl Lawrence and Director of Aircraft Maintenance Daryl Lenz. The committee works with the FAA Small Airplane Directorate to develop materials that help small aircraft owner maintain and restore their aircraft.

EAA reports that discussion centered on "developing an AC that will provide aircraft owners with a common-sense document that will make it easier to obtain approvals for replacement parts while they are maintaining their aircraft." They note that the committee hopes to develop a draft AC for FAA internal review by early 2004, with a final approved AC available as early as the end of 2004.
