Looking for FAA specs - C.A.S.E. - Air Carrier Section Policies and Procedures

[RCW]

I have a faxed copy of "C.A.S.E. - Air Carrier Section Policies and Procedures". It is dated 1/31/2004 and was revised December 1, 2003.

I received this from the company that was auditing me for compliance to FAA repair station requirements.

With that said, does anybody know of a link somewhere to obtain this or an updated version online? I did searches across the web without any luck. Or should I be referencing Part 145 for FAA repair station requirements?

Is it too "political" to ask the folks who gave you the first one to disclose the original source?

I have a hunch you are talking about
Coordinating Agency for Supplier Evaluation
Check with your FAA contact or search the FAA website.
As I recall (we were manufacturers, not repair station), this has something to do with the "trickle down" responsibility of the air carrier for the folks who do repairs on their aircraft. What's the general content of your document?

This is the link for CASE, but C.A.S.E. Air Carrier Section P&P Manual - Revision 47 is password protected. Others on the page are not.

Try the first two hits (out of 4) on this link, which is a simple google search. I think the first link is a pdf (and html) file of what you want.
Or download the attachment.

Actually the customer who was performing the audit said he would forward me a link to a website where I could retrieve the document. After prolonged searching, he gave up trying to find the web address and just faxed me the copy he had.

We are the OEM for a few items that get installed on commerical aircraft. Since the items do fail occasionally (Say it ain't so!), they are returned to us for repair, hence the FAA repair station flowdown. We only repair our own equipment. The general content of the document I am looking at is a watered-down, AS9100-style system. Items inlcude inspection, personnel, handling tech data, training, storage, shipping, and scrapped parts handling.

I understand why this is a requirement but I would sure like to find in a contract or some other binding paper here where it states exactly what spec or requirement I am suppose to maintain the FAA repair system to.

RCW, are you the Type Certificate holding OEM of these 'few items that get installed'? Or do you make (piece) parts, as a subcontractor, for the FAA FAR PART 21 Certificate Holding OEM who has the Type Certificate on an aircraft component/assembly that your 'items' would then be installed in?

Sorry for the delay in replying. Those darn surveillance audits sure get in the way.

Muleskinner,

I have to plead ignorance on this one. To try to provide more information, our customer is the registered FAA repair station. While we hold the design rights to 3 outta 5 of the products we make for them, they are all delivered with the customer's part number on them. They also have provided us with a simplistic top level drawing for these parts.

I am unaware of my company filing for any certificates on these items, be it with the FAA or other authority. Therefore my guess would be the latter, we would be considered the subcontractor.
