PART 39_AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 39.19  May I address the unsafe condition 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 safety. Unless FAA authorizes otherwise, send your 

proposal to your principal inspector. Include the specific actions you 

are proposing to address the unsafe condition. The principal inspector 

may add comments and will send your request to the manager of the office 

identified in the airworthiness directive (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 manager. You may use the alternative you propose only if the manager 

approves it.
