Industry Decries 'Untenable' Parts Documentation Guidance
Current guidance has cost the agencies and industry time and consternation, says the group.

A group of trade associations and aerospace companies led by the Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA) has requested that the directors of the FAA’s Flight Standards Service and EASA revise the guidance on international parts documentation. Since last September, the association and its allies have worked to help the agencies correct regulatory issues created by the 2015 revision of the Maintenance Annex Guidance (“MAG Change 5”) to the U.S.-EU Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement.
