COURSE INTRODUCTION
Introduction to Wiring Safety Concerns and IVT

Introduction
Late 1980s, wiring safety concerns raised due to accidents & incidents Investigations found common degrading factors in airplane electrical wiring systems Investigation into wiring issues done by industry, civil aviation authorities, other government agencies
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 1 Federal Aviation Administration

Safety concerns about wiring systems in airplanes were reinforced by the TWA accident in 1996.

Results of Wiring Investigation

1. Increased awareness & improvements in design, certification, training, installation, & maintenance aspects of aircraft electrical wiring, plus development of new technologies 2. New FAA rulemaking package for certification & operational rules related to airplane electrical wiring systems

Course Introduction

Culture Shift: EAPAS Safety Initiative

Recognizing importance of electrical wiring in safe operation of airplanes leads to being more proactive; FAA is
Treating wiring as a system Mandating DAH support of the initiative Integrating FAA lines of business: joint AFS/AIR activity; and cooperation with & between DAHs and operators
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 1 Federal Aviation Administration

The existing fleet will have to comply with the new 14 CFR part 26 requirements, while new applicants will be complying with new and revised part 25 requirements. This shift also relies heavily on communication between the affected parties.

Final EAPAS/FTS Rule, and ACs

(Box 1): Aging issues in aircraft electrical wire were brought to the forefront by the TWA 800 accident in 1996. The plane crashed off Long Island due to a fuel tank explosion, killing all aboard. (Box 2): Recommendations were made to the FAA by the White House Commission on Safety and Security (WHCSS) to expand the aging program to include non-structural systems. Box 3 shows the task teams formed by the FAA to investigate the condition of electrical wiring on existing aircraft to address aging concerns. In 1998, the teams completed documenting their recommendations to enhance design, maintenance, and training, and for the development of new technologies for aircraft wiring and components. Box 4 lists the recommendations; EAPAS came into being at this stage. (Box 4a): The FAA joined with industry and other governmental agencies to perform research studies to develop advanced techniques and components for detecting and preventing electrical faults in wiring. Box 4b is another recommendation developing a wire installation policy to address problems associated with wiring installation.

Mod 2, Lesson 1

Introduction

(Box 5): In order to ensure that the recommendations made by the NonStructural Systems Task Force were fully addressed, in 1999 the FAA Administrator formed a rulemaking advisory committee called ATSRAC [Aging Transport Systems Rulemaking Advisory Committee]. It was comprised of the FAA, JAA, DoD, TCCA, Industry, and aviation associations. Box 6 is a result of FAA independent studies, ATSRAC recommendations, and R & D projects. The FAA developed and will issue the EAPAS final rule with associated ACs in the summer of 2007. Fuel tank safety (FTS) is identified in Box 6 because the FAA is modifying existing FTS ops rules in the EAPAS rulemaking package (ref. Module 3 of this IVT).

Example of Current Rule Shortcoming

New EWIS rules require addressing both EWIS separation & EWIS safety assessment; will prevent similar design from being certified in the future

ew N er w Po ires W

Illustration of need for more stringent EWIS separation and safety assessments. An STC applicant obtained an STC to install a new in-flight entertainment system on board a large transport category airplane. IFE system comprised of over 750 LRUs distributed throughout passenger cabin. IFE had relatively high power requirements. Applicant used existing wire bundle to route new signal and power wires (new power wires are white, blue, and orange). Existing bundle had many wires insulated with aromatic polyamide insulation. Applicant had no idea what airplane systems were associated with the wires in the existing bundle. Part 25 rules when STC was certified didnt require physical separation between non-essential system high-powered wires and other wiring. When FAA asked applicant what type of 25.1309 safety assessment was performed on IFE, applicant said assessment was a qualitative analysis. 25.1309 was not adequate to require the type of safety assessment that should have been conducted on such a complex system. IFE was considered a non-essential passenger convenience system and its continued operation was not necessary to continued safe flight. However, a failure of this wire bundle could have caused a fire or the failure of a number of airplane systems that could have been critical to continued safe flight. New EWIS rules require addressing EWIS separation and EWIS safety assessment.

25.1707 System separation: EWIS.

(a) Each EWIS must be designed and installed with adequate physical separation from other EWIS and airplane systems so that an EWIS component failure will not create a hazardous condition. Unless otherwise stated, for the purposes of this section, adequate physical separation must be achieved by separation distance or by a barrier that provides protection equivalent to that separation distance. (b) Each EWIS must be designed and installed so that any electrical interference likely to be present in the airplane will not result in hazardous effects upon the airplane or its systems. (c) Wires and cables carrying heavy current, and their associated EWIS components, must be designed and installed to ensure adequate physical separation and electrical isolation so that damage to circuits associated with essential functions will be minimized under fault conditions. (d) Each EWIS associated with independent airplane power sources or power sources connected in combination must be designed and installed to ensure adequate physical separation and electrical isolation so that a fault in any one airplane power source EWIS will not adversely affect any other independent power sources. In addition: (1) Airplane independent electrical power sources must not share a common ground terminating location. (2) Airplane system static grounds must not share a common ground terminating location with any of the airplanes independent electrical power sources. (e) Except to the extent necessary to provide electrical connection to the fuel systems components, the EWIS must be designed and installed with adequate physical separation from fuel lines and other fuel system components, so that: (1) An EWIS component failure will not create a hazardous condition. (2) Any fuel leakage onto EWIS components will not create a hazardous condition. (f) Except to the extent necessary to provide electrical connection to the hydraulic systems components, EWIS must be designed and installed with adequate physical separation from hydraulic lines and other hydraulic system components, so that: (1) An EWIS component failure will not create a hazardous condition. (2) Any hydraulic fluid leakage onto EWIS components will not create a hazardous condition. (g) Except to the extent necessary to provide electrical connection to the oxygen systems components, EWIS must be designed and installed with adequate physical separation from oxygen lines and other oxygen system components, so that an EWIS component failure will not create a hazardous condition. (h) Except to the extent necessary to provide electrical connection to the water/waste systems components, EWIS must be designed and installed with adequate physical separation from water/waste lines and other water/waste system components, so that:

(2) An EWIS component failure will not create a hazardous condition. (3) Failure of any flight or other mechanical control systems cables or systems components will not damage the EWIS and create a hazardous condition. (j) EWIS must be designed and installed with adequate physical separation between the EWIS components and heated equipment, hot air ducts, and lines, so that: (1) An EWIS component failure will not create a hazardous condition. (2) Any hot air leakage or heat generated onto EWIS components will not create a hazardous condition. (k) For systems for which redundancy is required, by certification rules, by operating rules, or as a result of the assessment required by 25.1709, EWIS components associated with those systems must be designed and installed with adequate physical separation. (l) Each EWIS must be designed and installed so there is adequate physical separation between it and other aircraft components and aircraft structure, and so that the EWIS is protected from sharp edges and corners, to minimize potential for abrasion/chafing, vibration damage, and other types of mechanical damage

EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

Consider commonly-used liquids such as oils, hydraulic fluids, corrosion prevention compounds, and deicing fluids. Forced air ventilation tends to blow dust and lint through the air, causing it to lodge on wiring surfaces. Wet or oily surfaces attract more dust and lint, which impacts assessing possibility of a buildup of combustibles in the zone.

Step 7: Is Wiring Close To Both Primary And Backup Hydraulic, Mechanical, or Electrical Flight Controls?

AC 120-XX Flowchart, EZAP, Step 7

Is wiring close (2 in/50 mm) to both primary and backup hydraulic, mechanical, or electrical flight controls?
YES

If answer no, zone is eliminated from EZAP If answer yes, go to Step 8

EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

If there are no combustibles in the zone, DAH must ask question for Step 7. Step 7 addresses the concern that segregation between primary and back-up flight controls may not have been consistently achieved in the design of airplanes. Even in the absence of combustible material, a localized wire arcing could prevent continued safe flight and landing if hydraulic pipes, mechanical cables, or wiring for fly-by-wire controls are routed in close proximity to a wiring harness. In consideration of the redundancy in flight control systems, this question should be answered yes if both the primary AND back-up system might be affected by wire arcing. The question should also be answered yes in zones where a fire might be sustained by combustible materials.

Is there an effective task to significantly reduce the likelihood of accumulation of combustible materials?

YES

If answer no, go to Step 8 If answer yes, go to Step 6

EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

Step 5 evaluates whether accumulation on or adjacent to wiring can be significantly reduced. Task effectiveness criteria should include considering the potential for damaging the wiring for either accessing or cleaning the wiring. Though restoration tasks such as cleaning are the most likely applicable tasks, the possibility of identifying other tasks is not eliminated. DAH will always answer this question no in the case of fuel vapors, as there is never an effective task to rid the zone of fuel vapors.

Assign task to EWIS ICA Maintenance program zonal section Aircraft with ZIPs

* Section 26.11(b) requires consolidation of EWIS ICA with fuel tank ICA where possible
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

Application of the EZAP may identify some GVIs that are adequately covered by existing zonal GVIs in the zone. No change or addition to the existing zonal GVI is required, thus reducing the number of new GVIs that must be introduced into a program that already includes a zonal inspection program (ZIP). Consolidation of GVI tasks should consider access requirements and intervals. EWIS ICA must be compatible with any SFAR 88 ICA. 26.11(b) requires any fuel tank system ICA developed to comply with SFAR 88 be compatible with EWIS ICA, including minimizing any redundant requirements between the two. Compatibility check ensures EWIS ICA dont invalidate previously developed SFAR 88 ICA, and ensures inspection tasks between the two arent redundant. Typically, fuel tank systems contain elements of electrical wiring interconnection systems. Certain EWIS elements within the fuel tank system contribute to prevention of ignition sources and therefore would require a more in-depth inspection, possibly at a more frequent interval, than what may result from only applying EZAP. In some cases, the EZAP may have been carried out independently of considerations for fuel tank system safety.

Two examples to help illustrate what we mean by this requirement. 1. Consider fuel quantity indication system (FQIS) wires that are relying on specific shielding to prevent transient voltages in the fuel tank may have been identified under SFAR 88 as requiring a DET every 3,600 flight hours, while the EZAP analysis may have identified a stand-alone GVI of the same wires and shielding every 7,200 flight hours. 2. Consider an EWIS ICA that requires a DET every 72 months. The SFAR 88 ICA for same wire bundle requires a GVI every 36 months.

The result of Step 9 is a report (or multiple reports) that documents both sides of flowchart Step 9. Usually the result will be in an MRB report, but it doesnt have to be.

Determining Task Intervals

Use interval determination table as a guide; not meant to be absolute When doing analysis, do not choose answers just so new EWIS task interval fits existing task interval that adjustment will come at the end OK to select highest interval possible, as long as all engineering & maintenance factors have been considered
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

The intervals will more than likely be chosen to line up with existing maintenance intervals. That way, were not requiring EWIS maintenance tasks out of sequence, which could Cause damage just for the sake of inspecting a wire, or Put undo burden on the operator by requiring them to take an airplane out of service just to perform an EWIS task.

Task Consolidation Question

What is best for resolving conflict between the proposed inspection type and its interval and the existing type and interval?
a. Work with applicant to consider justifying longer compliance time based on additional considerations. b. Dont worry about it; operator will escalate interval, so go with applicants proposal for expediency. c. GVI every 12,000 hours. d. Propose GVI every 4,800 hours, as better to perform 2 GVIs more frequently than 1 DET every 9,600.

EWIS ICA FAA APPROVAL

Why Is EWIS ICA Approval Necessary?

Why Is EWIS ICA Approval Needed?

25.1729, 26.11(b), and 26.11(c) require EWIS ICA be approved by FAA
1. Approval supports EAPAS objective of increasing awareness of safety impact of EWIS 2. Development of EWIS maintenance & inspection requirements using an EZAP often requires qualitative engineering and maintenance assumptions; approval helps ensure standardized application of these assumptions
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

Approval changes the minimum safety and maintenance standards, and the manner in which the FAA approaches and views the effect that improperly maintained EWIS can have on safe operation of transport category airplanes.

Why Is EWIS ICA Approval Needed?, cont.

3. FAA approval ensures operators can use data and documents to comply with their operational requirements 4. Data delivered to operators and maintenance providers will be standardized

EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3

Federal Aviation Administration

A primary objective of DAH rule is to ensure that operators have at least one source of FAA-approved data and documents to use to comply with the operational requirements.

EWIS ICA FAA Approval

Why Is EWIS ICA Approval Needed?, cont. Historically, STC applicants for electrical modifications have not paid proper attention to identifying and developing ICA
Without review and approval, FAA wont be able to ensure that ICA developed by DAH are adequate and compatible with EWIS ICA developed by the airplanes manufacturer or previous modifiers
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

Benefits of EWIS ICA Approval

Approval helps ensure:
Previous certification findings not invalidated and that any EWIS added or modified will be properly maintained Consistency & standardization of EWIS ICA independent of ACO or applicant location

The Process for Approving EWIS ICA

Process for Approving EWIS ICA

Need clear identification of what comprises EWIS ICA data Most manufacturers will probably use Maintenance Review Board (MRB) process (see AEG rep. & AC 121-22A) STC applicants will develop EWIS ICA outside of MRB process
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3 Federal Aviation Administration

For an understanding of the MRB process, talk with your AEG representative and refer to AC 121-22A.

Process for Approving EWIS ICA, cont.

ACOs will need to be consistently involved in MRB process ACO engineers need to review EZAP analysis and to participate in industry steering committee meetings to ensure final EWIS ICA submitted by DAH is approvable

EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 3

Federal Aviation Administration

Applicants will have to submit the EWIS ICA to the ACOs for approval. Most EWIS ICA developed by using an EZAP will be located in the MRB report. The means of compliance proposed by the DAHs may differ from that of AC 120-XX. This is addressed in Module 4 of this IVT.

Why New DAH Approach Developed

Why New DAH Approach?

Operators expressed concerns about timely availability of data to support compliance with operational rules
Voluntary support problems
Thrust reversers Structural repair manuals Class D to C cargo conversions Reinforced flight deck door program
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 4 Federal Aviation Administration

The FAA believes that DAH support of operators in complying with operational rules has occasionally been lacking. The FAAs historic approach of adopting rules with compliance times only for operators may cause economic impact to operators, with no consequences for design approval holders.

Result of FAA Review

FAA determined that DAH requirements will be adopted as necessary to support future operational rules

DAH rules, AC 26-XX, & Order 8110.26-X help achieve the safety benefits
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 4 Federal Aviation Administration

FAA teams need to be up and running before the final rule is out to ensure these teams have the necessary information to facilitate the DAH activity. FAA teams need to be knowledgeable of rules and associated guidance, as well as roles and responsibilities in promoting acceptable on-time compliance.

Make recommendations to management in coordination with Compliance Teams for resolution of issues Coordinate DAH issues with Compliance Teams Encourage timely & effective communication
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 4 Federal Aviation Administration

FAA Order 8110.26-X outlines the responsibilities of the Compliance Teams to coordinate DAH issues with the Standardization Team and the FAA Oversight Office management. The frequency and content of communication to ANM-100/AFS-300 management must be prompt to avoid unnecessary delays. Significant deviations to the approved compliance plan or lack of communication or responsiveness from the DAH will be raised to ANM-100/AFS-300 management.

If necessary, the Flight Standards Service will alert affected operators of a compliance risk. This will enable the operators to pursue alternate means of compliance with the requirements of the DAH regulations in support of the operators compliance with the operational rules. If a DAH were to surrender their type certificate, the FAA could not share the technical type design data. However, interested parties may contact the DAH to obtain permission to use the type design data.

Documentation may be in the form of a letter, in particular, the approval of the compliance plan or the identification of deficiencies in the plan or the implementation of an approved plan. Emails, records of meeting, or telecons with the DAH, are essential information to document for any potential enforcement actions the FAA may take because of DAH non-compliance. Compliance status information must include a summary of the actions taken by the Standardization and Compliance Teams to facilitate compliance and, if compliance appears to be still at risk, the Teams recommendations for resolution. It is important to accurately know and document the DAHs progress towards compliance.

DAH must address this difference

For both MSG-3, need to perform EZAP on representative airplane configuration

EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 4 Federal Aviation Administration

Some DAHs have developed EWIS ICA using EZAP. Two different processes: MSG-3 v2003, and MSG-3 v2005.1. DAHs may not have fully considered using a representative airplane configuration. The Standardization Team needs to be consulted in these cases.

DAH submits draft compliance documents not less than 60 days before final compliance date
As available, review results of EZAP with DAH If Compliance Team participated in development of EZAP-derived EWIS ICA and is satisfied with results, the review should be minimal
EAPAS IVT, Course 24910, Mod 4 Federal Aviation Administration

If the DAH has not previously addressed or conducted an EZAP analysis with FAA involvement, then the Compliance Team needs to get involved with review of the analysis as early as possible, therefore sooner than 60 days. The purpose of these early reviews is to ensure the data and documents will be appropriate for compliance.

The slide shows paragraphs 5-2.a and 5-2.b. They represent the activities of the Standardization and Compliance Team prior to the issuance of the final rule. This preparation involves close coordination even before the EAPAS final rule is issued.

The Standardization Team will: Discuss what key information it needs from the Compliance Teams so it can conduct the standardization activities, and Provide the Compliance Teams with standardized briefing materials to conduct familiarization briefings with the affected DAHs.

The Teams will also develop plans to carry out their roles and responsibilities. This will include participating in necessary training activities and reviewing all of the available documents on the EAPAS rulemaking initiative.

Compliance Teams will send a letter to each affected DAH as soon as the final rule has been issued. That letter should be sent within 2 weeks after the issuance of the final rule.

Due to ex parte concerns, you may not hold the familiarization meeting before the final rule is issued. However, you may coordinate with the DAH to let them know that you will be in contact as soon as the final rule is issued to schedule a familiarization meeting.

A sample form letter will be developed by the Standardization Team and provided to all Compliance Teams. The letter will be provided once the Standardization and Compliance Teams begin preparing for the final rule issuance.

Once the DAHs compliance plan is approved, then the Compliance Team will actively monitor the DAHs implementation of that plan. It is expected the Compliance Team will schedule regular status reviews with the DAH to discuss the progress toward these DAH milestones. If there is no plan, or the plan is lacking, the Compliance Team must institute frequent discussions with the DAH to determine if compliance is on-track. Also, the FAA may pursue enforcement action, but the Compliance Team should continue to work with the DAH to monitor progress toward compliance. If it appears that compliance is not on track, it is important to notify the DAH of the concern as soon as possible, and within a week. These notifications should be documented.

In Phase II, ATSRAC formed another five Harmonization Working Groups to develop enhancements based on the recommendations developed in Phase I and to make recommendations to the FAA for rulemaking. The first HWG focused on developing enhancements to the wiring design regulations and developing associated advisory circulars. Another HWG focused on developing enhancements to the Standards Wiring Practice Manual that led to rulemaking and an advisory circular. Two more advisory circulars came out of the next two Working Groups. One group focused on enhanced training criteria in an advisory circular, and the other focused on developing enhanced maintenance procedures for airplane electrical wiring. Then, based on an NTSB recommendation, a final HWG was formed in Phase II to assess the applicability of all of the developed enhancements to the electrical wiring on small transport airplanes. Phase II Status: These tasks were completed and the reports were approved by ATSRAC in January 2003.

Technology Development
The following information is on the major EAPAS-related research and developments. Some of the research and development is on-going, while other efforts have been completed and are enhancing mitigation of the aging issues in aircraft wiring today.

General Information on Technology Development

In addition to the revised and new regulations, the FAA, jointly with industry and DoD, has actively been involved in developing new prognostic and diagnostic tools and techniques to effectively and efficiently mitigate aging issues in the electrical wiring on aircraft. The following are the major electrical wiring R&D projects in which the FAA is involved: Development of new technologies for wire testing/inspection (NDI). Development of wire separation/segregation requirements. Development of wire performance requirements. Study of effects of related and unrelated maintenance on wiring. Development of arc fault circuit breakers.

Arc Fault Circuit Breakers

Single phase development is completed for arc fault circuit breakers (AFCB), and arc fault circuit breaker devices are now available commercially. A Supplemental Type Certificate has been issued for a Delta 737 aircraft. The SAE Arc Fault Specification has been completed, AS5692, and there is major industry acceptance of this technology. A solid state 28vdc and 3-phase prototype completed. Flight testing began in summer 2006. Arc fault devices have flown over 200,000 hours without a nuisance tripping incident.

Means of Compliance

The proposed compliance means chosen by EAC to comply with the requirements of Part 26 are provided in Table 1. Table 1 Part 26 Means of Compliance for E123 Airplane Models
Part 26.11 Sections (a) (b) H25.5(a)(1) Requirements Applicability Means / Alternative Products: Data/Document Remarks The rule applies to Models E123P and E123C Using guidance of AC 120-XX and MSG-3 process conducted via MRB ICA MSG-3 version 2005.1 was used to conduct the original EZAP analysis. A follow-on analysis will be performed in order to fully address the guidance as provided by AC 120-XX. NOTE: Since ECA says that the EWIS ICA were developed using MSG-3 V2005.1, they should add a statement about how they intend to ensure compliance with H25.5(a)(1). For example, they may state that they have performed a gap analysis to state that they will account for any difference between MSG-3 V2005.1 and the requirements of H25.5(a)(1) NOTE: Since section 26.11(b) talks about the representative airplane configuration, EAC should add information that states what configuration EAC used when conducting MSG-3 V2005.1 and if that will be the same configuration used for the gap analysis.] [NOTE: A statement about how EAC intends to comply with the requirement to ensure compatibility between fuel tank system ICA developed to comply with SFAR 88 and EWIS ICA should be included in the compliance matrix.] [NOTE: A statement about the form of the EWIS ICA source document required by H25.5(b) should be included in the compliance matrix.] All required compliance documentation will be submitted to FAA for Approval.

VI. Delegation Plan EAC is working to expand the delegated authority/authorized areas of the following DERs in accordance with FAA Orders XXXX and YYYY. We plan to have these DERs participate in MSG-3 meetings and review the Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) and Source Document (required by Part 25, Appendix H, H25.5(b)) to recommend approval. Once the FAA has satisfactory experience with our DERs and the new delegated functions/authorized areas, we plan to request that the FAA grant full approval authority to these designees. We will submit a more detailed delegation plan in the near future. Our Regulatory Liaison, Mr. Serty Fyed, will contact [FAA Oversight Office] within 10 business days after submittal of this plan to request a preliminary meeting regarding our delegation plan.

Communication Processes

As defined in AC 26-XX, EAC will have a very close communication with the FAA Compliance Team to ensure all the necessary data developed are of high quality and submitted to FAA in timely manner. Through frequent meetings and correspondence the EAC will work continuously with the [FAA Oversight Office]to ensure all issues are resolved in timely manner and no surprises nor any noncompliance issue will need to be dealt with close to the compliance due dates. Therefore, EAC proposes monthly status meetings with [FAA Oversight Office]. The point of contact for scheduling these meetings is Mr. Serty Fyed, who can be reached at 555-555-5555, or via e-mail at [email protected].

Operators Involvement/Inputs

As part of the MSG-3 process, EAC plans to involve E123P and E123C owners and operators during the development of the EWIS ICA. Although not required by regulation, EAC involves operators in the development of the EWIS ICA to ensure that they will be readily usable by our owners and operators once the EWIS ICA are approved by [FAA Oversight Office]. This will help fulfill, as required by part 26, the responsibility of the operators of Models E123-P and E123-C (SAI and OJC) to incorporate the FAA-approved EWIS IAC into their maintenance programs by the required date (39 months after the effective date of the EAPAS/FTS rule).

XI.

Understanding/Agreements

It is EACs intent that all data and documents identified in this plan will be developed with a high level of quality and will be acceptable to the FAA. In addition it is our intent to make all submittals in a timely manner in order to meet our regulatory requirements (refer to paragraph VIII of this document). We understand that a noncompliance issue does not stop the compliance clock. Any noncompliance issue must be acceptably resolved with the FAA as soon as possible to ensure on time compliance. We understand the FAA will perform prompt reviews of our submittals and alert us as soon as possible regarding any potential issues or concerns that could affect compliance (within the required time period; no later than 15 months after the effective date of the EAPAS/FTS rule). We also understand that as defined by the regulation, FAA may pursue an enforcement action for any unresolved issues.
