When being right
might be wrong
R
ecently, I was working with an AEA
member company that was adamant
its Federal Aviation Administration
inspector was wrong by demanding things that were not
supported by regulations. The member was right, but he
also wasn't getting what he wanted: his certificate.
This is a recurring environment. Years ago, I
worked with a startup where I had previously known
the owner as a line mechanic. He had attended the
repair station training course offered by the AEA. He,
like me, is a practitioner of the regulations. When
the inspector required items addressed that were not
in the regulations, he would push back, point to the
regulations, and refuse any item that wasn't specifically
in the plain language of the regulations. The resultant
outcome was the FAA office canceled his repair station
application, and they could not find a compromise. He
was right, to a fault, and ultimately failed to achieve his
desired outcome. Some people call this picking your
battles.
Before you can pick your battles, you must know
what is and what is not a battle. As you know, the
decision starts with the regulations. Consider 14 CFR
145.207, the requirements for a repair station manual.
14 avionics news * february 2022
The regulation (§ 145.207 (a)) states
that a repair station must first
prepare a repair station manual and
you must follow what you wrote.
At this point, if your repair station
manual commits you to do something
you learn later is not required, you
cannot just stop doing it.
§ 145.207 Repair station manual.
(a) A certificated repair station must prepare
and follow a repair station manual acceptable to
the FAA.
(b) A certificated repair station must maintain a
current repair station manual.
(c) A certificated repair station's current repair
station manual must be accessible for use by
repair station personnel required by subpart D
of this part.
(d) A certificated repair station must provide
to its responsible Flight Standards office the
