                Subpart D_Testing Production-line Engines

 

Sec.  1048.325  What happens if an engine family fails the production-line 

requirements?



    (a) We may suspend your certificate of conformity for an engine 

family if it fails under Sec.  1048.315. The suspension may apply to all 

facilities producing engines from an engine family, even if you find 

noncompliant engines only at one facility.

    (b) We will tell you in writing if we suspend your certificate in 

whole or in part. We will not suspend a certificate until at least 15 

days after the engine family fails. The suspension is effective when you 

receive our notice.

    (c) Up to 15 days after we suspend the certificate for an engine 

family, you may ask for a hearing (see Sec.  1048.820). If we agree 

before a hearing that we used erroneous information in deciding to 

suspend the certificate, we will reinstate the certificate.

    (d) Section 1048.335 specifies steps you must take to remedy the 

cause of the engine family's production-line failure. All the engines 

you have produced since the end of the last test period are presumed 

noncompliant and should be addressed in your proposed remedy. We may 

require you to apply the remedy to engines produced earlier if we 

determine that the cause of the failure is likely to have affected the 

earlier engines.
