MAINTENANCE PuBLICATIONS 11
Federal Control of Aviation
The Wright brothers' first successful flight of a heavier-than-air flying ma-
chine was made in 1903, and for the next few years, flying was limited mainly
to short hops around fields. The airplanes of this era had no practical use, but
in 1910 a law was passed to determine "whether aerial navigation may be
utilized for the safe and rapid transmission of the mails." September of 1911
marked the first time mail was carried by airplane. The flights were of only
about ten miles distance and were demonstrations at an air meet held on Long
Island, New York. Throughout 19 12, there were other successful attempts at
carrying the mail by air, but it was not untill916 that the U .S. government
actually appropriated money for the carriage of mail by air. However, be-
cause of o ur involvement in World War I, airmail potential went untapped
unti l the U.S. Post Office began carrying the mail in May of 1918.
After World War I ended in November of 191 8, thousands of people
trained in aviation returned to civilian life, and hundreds of airplanes and
engines were made available to these veterans. This opened the age of barn-
storming and flying circuses, and individual pilots to ured the United States,
introducing flying to the American public. Interest was created, but aviation
still served little real public service.
The A irmail Act of 1925 started things moving when it awarded 12 con-
tract airmail routes that covered most of the United States. The operators who
held these contracts made the first serious use of the airplane.
The Air Commerce Act of 1926 was passed to " promote air commerce."
This act charged the federal government with the operation and maintenance
of the airway system as well as all aids to air navigation, and to ensure safety
in air commerce through a system of regulation. Safety regulations were to
be administered by the Department of Commerce through its Bureau of Air
Commerce.
Safety regulations included the registration and licensing of aircraft, and
the certification and medical examination of pilots. E nforcement of these
regulations was assured by the authorization to impose civil penalties for their
violation.
The C ivil Aeronautics Act of 1938, and its later amendment in 1940,
created the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) to investigate aircraft accidents
and to exercise legislative and judicial authority over civil aviation. It also

R EGULATIONS A:-10 M AI!\TE:\ANCE P UBLICATIONS Chapter 11 65 1

 created the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) which had responsibil-
ity for the execution of safety regulations. This included the enforcement and
promotion of aviation safety and the operation of the airways system.
A series of serious acc idents brought about the Federal Aviation Act of
1958. which included most of the old Civil Aeronautics Act, but changed
the C ivil Aeronautics Administration to the Federal Aviation Agency. This
was removed from the Department of Co mmerce and placed on an i ndepen-
denr level that answered only to the Congress and the President. The De-
partment of Transportation was organized in 1966. and the Federal Aviation
Agency was placed under its control and became the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration.
T he next major change in governmental involvement came with the Air-
line Deregulation Act of 1978. Thi s act relaxed the control of the CAB over
the airlines. In 1985 the CAB was terminated. Deregulation opened the way
for new airlines to operate and other to merge and has effected major changes
in the airline portion of the aviation industry. When the CAB was terminated.
the ational Transportation Safety Board ( TSB) took over the responsibil-
ity for investigating aircraft accidents.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA]

The FAA consists of an administrator. a deputy administrator, and associate
administrators. Aviation maintenance is regulated by the Associate Admin-
istrato r for Aviation Standards who is charged with the responsibility for
promoting safety of civil aircraft in air commerce by assuring, among other
things, airwo rthiness of aircraft and competence of crewmembers.
Under the Associate Admini trator for Aviation Standards is the Office
of Airworthiness. This office has several divisions which include the Air-
craft Engineering Division, A ircraft Manufacturing Division, and A ircraft
Maintenance Di vision. The A ircraft Maintenance Di vision has two branches.
the Air Carrier Branch and the General Aviation Branch.
There are nine FAA Regional Offices located in the conti nental United
States and one in Europe. These offices are responsible for handling the vari-
ous practical problems encountered in their geographical areas. The domes-
tic regional offices and the areas they cover are show n in Figure 1 1-1 .

Federal Aviation Regulations
When the Civil Aeronautics Administration took on the responsibility of
promoting the safety of aviation. it made a series of rules known as the Civil
Air Regulations (CARs). When the Federal Aviation Administration came
into being, these were changed to Federal Aviation Regulations. These have
been changed again to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
which are the actual laws that govern operations today. These laws are is-
sued by the Federal Aviation Administration and published by the U.S. Gov-
ernment Printing Office.
It is the responsibility of maintenance technicians to be aware of all regu-
lations that affect us in those that are available. Some of them are sold on a
single-sale basis whi le others are available only on a subscription basis.

The cost of all of the applicable regulations is quite high, but for a person to
become familiar with their contents. ASA, Inc. reprints and makes available
in two volumes the federal regulations most widely used by maintenance
technicians. These volumes are updated twice a year. Figure 11-2 lists the
regu lations most used by maintenance technicians.

The AD has been complied with, and the aircraft has operated for 14 hours
since the compliance. F uture compliance is required with each 200 hours of
time in service, so the aircraft can operate for another 186 hours before the
AD must be complied with again.

According to 14 CFR Part 91 General Operating and Flight Rules, it is the

ultimate responsibility of the aircraft owner or operator to determine that all
applicable AD notes are complied with and that their compliance is recorded
in the aircraft maintenance records. But it is the responsibility of the techni-
cian pelforming an nual and 100-hour inspections to comply with every AD
applying to the airframe, engine, propeller, and all appliances.
When an aircraft is scheduled for an inspection, the technician must get
the model and serial number of the airframe, engine, propeller, and all appli-
ances that are covered by the AD system . Then he or she must check through
the AD Summary indexes and all of the biweekly updates that have been is-
sued since the date of the Summary.
Since it is so important that no AD be overlooked, and because of the
large amount of time involved in conducting an exhaustive search, there are
companies that offer computerized searches. If the technician supplies them
with the required model and serial numbers, they can furnish the technician
with an up-to-date list of all applicable ADs.
When an AD is complied with, the technician is required to enter in the
aircraft maintenance records the AD number, the date of compliance, and the
method of compliance. If it is a recurring AD, the date or time the next com-
pliance is required must be indicated. This entry must be signed by the tech-
nician and must include his or her certificate number and class of certificate.

Compliance required as indicated, unless already accomplished:

I. Aircraft with less than 500-hours' total time in service: Inspect in accordance
with instructions below at 500-hours' total time, or within the next 50-hours'
time in service after the effective date of this AD, and repeat after each
subsequent 200 hours in service.

II. Aircraft with 500-hours' through 1,000-.hours' total time in service: Inspect in
accordance with instructions below within the next 50-hours' time in service
after the effective date of this AD, and repeat after each subsequent 200
hours in service.

Ill. Aircraft with more than 1,000-hours' time in service: Inspect in accordance
with instructions below within the next 25-hours' time in service after the
effective date of this AD, and repeat after each subsequent 200 hours in
service.

 General Aviation Airworthiness Alerts
The Service Difficulty Program of the FAA functions as an information gath-
ering and disseminating service in which information gathered from Malfunc-
tion and Defect Reports is fed into a computer data bank where it is analyzed
and categorized. When a trend becomes evident it is written up in the Gen-
eral Aviation Airworthiness Alerts (AC 43-16A) which are distributed to in-
terested maintenance personnel. Their contents include items that have been
reported to be significant, but which have not been fully evaluated by the time
the material went to press. When additional facts such as cause and correc-
tive action are identified, the data is published in subsequent issues of the
Alerts. The corrective action specified in an Airworthiness Alert is advisory
in nature and does not become mandatory unless or until it is published as an
Airworthiness Directive.
Airworthiness Alerts are sent automatically to technicians holding an
Inspection Authorization, approved repair stations, air taxi operators, avia-
tion maintenance technician schools, and Designated Mechanic Examiners,
but anyone may purchase them from the FAA at the address below. See the
latest copy of the Advisory Circular Checklist AC 00-2 for the current price.

is approved for installation on certificated aircraft. But just because a part
has been built under a TSO does not mean that it is approved for installation
on all certificated aircraft. Typical pazts that are manufactured under TSOs
are seat belts and harnesses, aircraft fabric, emergency locator transmitters

For an appl icant to be granted a PMA, he or she must furnish the FAA
with drawings and information on the part to be manufactured, along with
test reports and computations proving that the part meets all of the specifica-
