In the wake of the Boeing Max crashes, the FAA is continuing to evolve its organization designation authority (ODA) process, issuing a draft revision to its order surrounding oversight. Comments are due by October 21 on the draft Revision C of its ODA Order 8100.15. This order establishes the ground rules for a manufacturer to obtain ODA approval and provides the procedures for FAA personnel conducting oversight of ODA holders.

Under draft Revision C, 54 changes are proposed that aim to tighten up manufacturer ODA approval rules and to improve FAA oversight of ODA holders. This draft also introduces the Airmen Certification ODA type, reorganizes the existing content, and applies a “systems-based approach” to oversight.
