non-fatigue DER

non-fatigue DER

(OP)
Wondering how others are approaching this issue. If you have previously received Cat A FAA approval in the form of an 8110-3 from a DT rated DER. Can you use this previous approval for lessor damage an have it approved by a non-DT DER or could you even produce a repair based on the previous data without FAA approval?

I know it's wordy, but hope someone bites on this one.

RE: non-fatigue DER

i'd expect the answer to be "no" ... the lessor damage would have the same inspection requirements as the greater damage that was properly approved.  but the non DT DER wouldn't be able to approve this (even though sane people would see the logic !?).

RE: non-fatigue DER

All 8110-3 approvals on what you are referring to are for one specific aircraft only.

RE: non-fatigue DER

You could use the previously approved data to create a Part Number specific procedure and have that procedure approved by a DER Authorized to approve procedures.
That specific repair procedure can then be used multiple times on same part number parts for different aircraft.

RE: non-fatigue DER

is that like creating an STC instead of an RDA ?  (ie a generic repair)

RE: non-fatigue DER

If you are referring to my statement, no. An STC is for a modification to a Type Certificate.
A procedure is for a repair that is repetitive.
FAA Order 8300.14
