FAA Operator - Acceptance of EASA Form 1 for Repaired Parts

[hpdxbqm]

Good Day All,
First post here, and a request for help!

We are an EASA Approved Foreign 145 Maintenance Organisation, specializing in rotor blade repair.

Most of our Customers accept either our EASA Form 1, or local NAA release for the work carried out.

However, we do have in the area, a prospective Customer operating N registered machines.

My question is...
1. Is it possible for him to accept our EASA Form 1 for use on the N registered aircraft?
2. If so, is it simply a case of him writing acceptance of the EASA Form 1 into his Procedures Manual (for repaired parts receipt)?
3. If not, what are our options, given that there is, I believe, a three year 'waiting list' for FAA Foreign Repair Station applications?

My apologies if this may seem a little simplistic (if you are familiar with FAA regs), however I am not particularly FAA savvy!

Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom offered on this

Cheers,

Tony

He can't accept your EASA Form 1. It's in part 129. He knows that.

§ 129.14 Maintenance program and minimum equipment list requirements for U.S.-registered aircraft.

(a) Each foreign air carrier and each foreign person operating a U.S.-registered aircraft within or outside the United States in common carriage shall ensure that each aircraft is maintained in accordance with a program approved by the Administrator.

The Administrator referred to is the FAA Administrator.

Tony,


Operators of N-registered aircraft require either a FAA Form 8130-3/-4 or an EASA Form 1 issued as a dual release certificate. In both cases you need an approval as a FAA Repair Station i.a.w. CFR 14, Part 43 and Part 145.

I did not know that waiting times are that long though...........

I am not good enough in the FAA regulations to know if there are any possibilities for the approval of exemptions. Maybe one of the moderators could link your thread to the FAA forum?

Sorry that I cannot be of any further help to you.

Regards,
Angelika

Unfortunately the 3 year period is in reality probably longer. I have correspondence from the faa that reads "currently we are not certifying any foreign repair stations that made applications afte August 2008. By law, the TSA must pass international security rules before any new certification can begin.
The FAA then went on to give an estimate of "wait times to begin certification range between three to five years". -Ouch-

Hi
According to the new Bilateral agreement

A Form 1 is acceptable
