1、972 14 CFR Ch. I (1111 Edition) 39.19 39.19 May I address the unsafe condi-tion in a way other than that set out in the airworthiness directive? Yes, anyone may propose to FAA an alternative method of compliance or a change in the compliance time, if the proposal provides an acceptable level of safe
2、ty. Unless FAA authorizes other-wise, send your proposal to your prin-cipal inspector. Include the specific ac-tions you are proposing to address the unsafe condition. The principal inspec-tor may add comments and will send your request to the manager of the of-fice identified in the airworthiness d
3、i-rective (manager). You may send a copy to the manager at the same time you send it to the principal inspector. If you do not have a principal inspector send your proposal directly to the man-ager. You may use the alternative you propose only if the manager approves it. 39.21 Where can I get inform
4、ation about FAA-approved alternative methods of compliance? Each airworthiness directive identi-fies the office responsible for approving alternative methods of compliance. That office can provide information about alternatives it has already ap-proved. 39.23 May I fly my aircraft to a re-pair facil
5、ity to do the work re-quired by an airworthiness direc-tive? Yes, the operations specifications giving some operators authority to op-erate include a provision that allow them to fly their aircraft to a repair fa-cility to do the work required by an airworthiness directive. If you do not have this a
6、uthority, the local Flight Standards District Office of FAA may issue you a special flight permit unless the airworthiness directive states oth-erwise. To ensure aviation safety, FAA may add special requirements for oper-ating your aircraft to a place where the repairs or modifications can be accom-
7、plished. FAA may also decline to issue a special flight permit in particular cases if we determine you cannot move the aircraft safely. 39.25 How do I get a special flight permit? Apply to FAA for a special flight per-mit following the procedures in 14 CFR 21.199. 39.27 What do I do if the airworthi
8、-ness directive conflicts with the service document on which it is based? In some cases an airworthiness direc-tive incorporates by reference a manu-facturers service document. In these cases, the service document becomes part of the airworthiness directive. In some cases the directions in the servi
9、ce document may be modified by the air-worthiness directive. If there is a con-flict between the service document and the airworthiness directive, you must follow the requirements of the air-worthiness directive.
