Common use of Unsafe Conditions and Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information Clause in Contracts

Unsafe Conditions and Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information. 1) The Participants will perform the following activities for the civil aeronautical products for which they function as the State of Design: a) issue mandatory continuing airworthiness information (such as an airworthiness directive) whenever the Participant determines that an unsafe condition exists in a civil aeronautical product, or is likely to exist or develop in a product of the same type design. This may include a civil aeronautical product that has another product installed on it and the installation causes the unsafe condition. The contents of such a mandatory continuing airworthiness information are expected to include, but are not limited to, the following: i. make, model, and serial numbers of affected civil aeronautical products; ii. description of the unsafe condition, reasons for the mandatory action, and its impact on the overall aircraft and continued operation; iii. description of the cause of the unsafe condition (e.g., stress corrosion, fatigue, design problem, quality control, suspected unapproved part); iv. the means by which the unsafe condition was detected and, if resulting from in- service experience, the number of occurrences may be provided; and v. corrective actions and corresponding compliance times, with a list of the relevant manufacturer’s service information including reference number, revision number and date. b) issue a revised or superseding mandatory continuing airworthiness information whenever the CA finds any previously issued mandatory continuing airworthiness information was incomplete or inadequate to fully correct the unsafe condition; c) notify the VA of the unsafe condition and the necessary corrective actions by transmitting by e-mail or other mutually accepted means a copy of the mandatory continuing airworthiness information at the time of publication; d) notify the VA of any emergency airworthiness information; e) assist the VA in defining the appropriate actions to take in the issuance of its own mandatory continuing airworthiness information; and f) provide the VA with a summary index list of mandatory continuing airworthiness information issued by the State of Design for civil aeronautical products operated or used by the VA. 2) The Participants understand that they may differ as to the finding of an unsafe condition. If such a difference arises, the VA will normally consult with the CA prior to issuing its own airworthiness directive. The CA will work with the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to provide sufficient information, e.g. service bulletins, to the VA in a timely manner for its use in issuing this unilateral airworthiness directive. 3) The Participants understand that the VA may issue its own mandatory continuing airworthiness information to address all unsafe conditions on affected products that have been certified, approved or otherwise accepted by the VA. The VA will respond quickly when the CA issues a mandatory continuing airworthiness information.

Unsafe Conditions and Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information. 1) The Participants will perform the following activities for the civil aeronautical products for which they function as the State of Design:Design (SoD) / State of Design of Modification (SoDM): a) issue mandatory continuing airworthiness information (such as an airworthiness directive) whenever the Participant determines that an unsafe condition exists in a civil aeronautical product, or is likely to exist or develop in a product of the same type design. This may include a civil aeronautical product that has another product installed on it and the installation causes the unsafe condition. The contents of such a mandatory continuing airworthiness information are expected to include, but are not limited to, the following: i. (i) make, model, and serial numbers of affected civil aeronautical products; (ii. ) description of the unsafe condition, reasons for the mandatory action, and its impact on the overall aircraft and continued operation; (iii. ) description of the cause of the unsafe condition (e.g., e.g. stress corrosion, fatigue, design problem, quality control, suspected unapproved part); (iv. ) the means by which the unsafe condition was detected and, if resulting from in- in-service experience, the number of occurrences may be provided; and v. (v) corrective actions and corresponding compliance times, with a list of the relevant manufacturer’s service information including reference number, revision number and date. b) issue a revised or superseding mandatory continuing airworthiness information whenever the CA finds any previously issued mandatory continuing airworthiness information was incomplete or inadequate to fully correct the unsafe condition; c) notify the VA of the unsafe condition and the necessary corrective actions by transmitting by e-mail or other mutually accepted means a copy of the mandatory continuing airworthiness information at the time of publication; d) notify the VA of any emergency airworthiness information; e) assist the VA in defining the appropriate actions to take in the issuance of its own mandatory continuing airworthiness information; and f) provide the VA with a summary index list of mandatory continuing airworthiness information issued by the State of Design (SoD) / State of Design of Modification (SoDM) for civil aeronautical products operated or used by the VA. 2) The Participants understand that they may differ as to the finding of an unsafe condition.
