The FAA has engaged industry to help review AC 43.13-1B Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices—Aircraft Inspection and Repair that is applicable to aircraft inspection and repair. The AC primarily supports independent mechanics, technicians, and repair stations maintaining general aviation aircraft.
The agency’s review focuses on:
(1) Clarifying and revising the content.
(2) Eliminating redundancy.
(3) Updating for new technologies.
On July 15-16, the FAA will convene an in-person meeting of industry representatives. The Aircraft Electronics Association’s Ric Peri will represent ARSA members.
To support AEA and ARSA’s effort, please complete the following survey.
If you have questions about the AC or the effort to update it, contact Ric Peri.
If the embedded survey does not appear/load, open the survey independently by visiting: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ac-43_13_1-review.
Note: The question is displayed in its own, embedded window. If the “Submit” button is not visible on the screen, you must scroll within the survey window to submit your response.
