It covers repair, maintenance, overhaul, and modification procedures for government-owned FAA-certificated aircraft, engines, and components. It requires compliance with applicable FAA requirements and preservation of FAA certification during maintenance activities.
Applies to: This publication applies to AFSC, all AFSC Air Logistics Complexes (ALC) and all ALC personnel performing maintenance and repairs to United States (US) government owned FAA certificated commercial derivative aircraft (CDA).
If the AF uses organic AFSC depot resources (AF facilities, equipment, technicians, supply), those resources shall “meet the intent” of applicable FAA regulations - 14 CFR Part 43, 14 CFR Part 65, and 14 CFR Part 145.
Each ALC MRS has a responsibility to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with this FAA approved program and not perform any maintenance, repairs, alterations, or modifications that will negatively impact the aircraft, engine, or component FAA certification. (paragraph 1-45)
In the isolated case of an individual ALC MRS not being able to MTI of a specific requirement, the affected ALC MRS must submit a request for exception from the requirement to the FSMO. (paragraph 1-45)
A solution must be determined before the AF will be allowed to deviate from the applicable FAA requirement. (paragraph 1-45)
If there is a difference between the applicable ALC MRS Manual, AFSCI 62-603 and/or AFSCMAN 62-602, the AFSC FSMO approved ALC MRS Manual takes precedence and must be complied with. (paragraph 1-45)
