Social Flight: The NEW FAA Ruling That Could DEVASTATE GA

[Shepherd]

Anyone know what the panic is all about?

 

[X3 Skier]

Probably the new Piper wing AD. There's a thread on this that I can't find right now.

 

[Mason]

Upcoming AD for many more PA-28 and PA-36 wing spars. 100 anomalies and 6 cracked wings found

https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/FR-ADNPRM-2024-21209-00000000000.0001 Forthcoming AD on Piper wing spars for much of the PA-28 and PA-32 fleet. Of the 2800 eddy current inspection reports from the prior interim AD around 100 "anomalies" and 6 fully developed fatigue cracks were...

Hmmm…. If it is something that will devastate all of GA, it would seem to go beyond only the little Pipers.

 

[Anthem]

the blurb says "Moss Interpretation" whatever that means. ..

 

[cailloux]

The Moss Interpretation holds that an A&P has to physically be present at the point of inspection/repair and can't just be available for a video call. In other words, "in person" means in person for the purposes of 14 CFR § 43.3(d).

Which hardly seems groundbreaking and the kind of thing to devastate GA?

Sounds like clickbait ******** from the title.

Seems entirely reasonable to me. I don’t want the licensed A&P squinting through a zoom video feed filled with artifacts and the equivalent of 360P because Comcast is doing their usual nonsense and declaring work was done right.

Seems like it might be devastating to Savy, who’s business model is remote MX supervision/oversight/consultation.

 

[Sierra_Hotel]

Unless I'm mistaken they don't supervise or sign off anything, they're just a middleman to help you find a competent shop and act as your agent.

maybe check them out before posting? they provide consulting services for the most part. think AAA towing for aviation.

if anything it will hurt owners/operators more.. AnPs have always had the final say in what they will sign off. Why an MX would sign off another's work is beyond me. Usually asking someone to sign their name to a sketchy request is the fastest way to call them on their BS. if you think it's good... YOU sign it

That’s it exactly. An A&P isn’t required for what Savvy does.
