16、plementationmay include employees, officials, agents, consultants, or as-signs. The QAM shall identify the person(s) within themanufacturing QAA.5.4 Quality Assurance Record (QAR):5.4.1 The acceptance date, origin, and certifications ofmaterials fabricated into structurally critical LSGA airframecom

17、ponents shall be recorded (see Note 1).NOTE 1The intent of this record is to provide a means for themanufacturer to identify and reduce the number of LSG within a fleet thatmay be affected by a materials anomaly that would require correctiveaction, thereby reducing the economic impact of such correc

18、tive action.This paragraph should not be construed as a requirement for specific partstraceability.5.4.2 Manufacturer maintains a Quality Assurance Record(QAR) for each LSG produced. Each QAR consists of:5.4.2.1 Applicable final inspection records, check, and testdocumentation from the production ac

20、r andmanufacturing date.5.5 Quality Assurance RevisionsA system shall be imple-mented to ensure that only the latest revisions to the QAM arein use.5.6 Quality Assurance AuditsThe manufacturer shall con-duct an annual QAP audit. The manufacturer maintains auditrecords. The manufacturer resolves any

21、non-compliance issuesfound in the QAP audit and makes revisions to the QAM whereappropriate.6. Engineering and Manufacture6.1 Compliance RecordThe manufacturer records andkeeps design compliance documentation for each configurationof light sport gyroplane aircraft or product manufactured inaccordanc

22、e with Specification F 2352. Each record shall con-sist of the following.6.1.1 A description of the configuration, including installedequipment list and associated parts, and6.1.2 The current revision of required documentation pro-vided with the aircraft.6.2 Configuration ControlAll LSG configuratio

23、ns in pro-duction must have a Compliance Record for the currentSpecification F 2352.6.3 Production DocumentationThe manufacturer main-tains a production documentation record including any revi-sions. Examples of production documentation include:6.3.1 Parts lists,6.3.2 Process routes,6.3.3 Component

24、and assembly drawings,6.3.4 Manufacturing instructions and specifications, and6.3.5 Tooling and gage drawings.6.4 Special ProcessesThe QAP controls all special pro-cesses and services used to produce structurally critical LSGAairframe components, such as welding, brazing, heat treatment,plating, str

25、uctural composites, adhesives bonding, and so forth.Each process and service must be in accordance with appro-priate recorded specifications detailing quality standards andrequirements for periodic inspection of solutions, gages, andother critical equipment.7. Quality Assurance Inspections7.1 Manufa

26、cturers implement and document an inspectionprocedure verifying product conformity to production specifi-cations in accordance with 6.1.7.1.1 Conforming, non-conforming, and items awaiting in-spection must be separated or clearly distinguishable. Itemsfound nonconforming are evaluated by a Material

27、ReviewBoard (MRB) in accordance with 7.4 or rejected in accordancewith 7.5.7.2 Receiving InspectionThe manufacturer implements apurchase procedure that ensures clear specification of all itemsordered. Items from outside vendors are inspected for conform-ance to specifications immediately when receiv

28、ed.7.3 Acceptance of Conforming ItemsConforming itemsare distributed as required or placed in a secure storage area forfuture use.7.4 Evaluation of Non-Conforming Items by a MaterialsReview BoardA Materials Review Board (MRB) may deter-mine the nature of non-conforming items. The MRB consistsof one

29、or more manufacturer-designated technical representa-tives. The QAM identifies all MRB representatives. If analysis,additional inspection, functional checks, repair, rework, adap-tation, and so forth assure item meets design requirements, theMRB may authorize usage of the item. If not, the item isre

30、jected in accordance with 7.5. The manufacturer keeps apermanent record on the nature of non-conforming itemsevaluated and accepted by the MRB.7.5 Rejection of Non-Conforming ItemsThe manufacturerdocuments and implements a process for disposing of non-conformance items. Examples of how an item may b

31、e deemednon-conformant includes damage, shelf life-limits, and otherdeviations. Otherwise serviceable but non-conforming itemsmay be returned to the supplier. Unserviceable items must bemutilated, destroyed, or sufficiently marked as rejected. Thisprocess must ensure the item can no longer be used o

32、n anyaircraft. The item can be held in a reserved area prior todisposal.8.
