The FAA has issued a draft revision of the instructions for completing FAR Part 21 component manufacturing Form 8130-3, used by PMA holders to authenticate quality assurance. According to the FAA, this revision is a “complete rewrite that focuses on reducing redundant information.” The 18-page revision replaces the current 74-page version. There is concern, however, that some of the language that was added to correct past problems “may have been removed from this draft,” said the Modification and Parts Replacement Association. ”With this in mind, we are especially interested in your comments about hazards and risks associated with the 8130-3 tag and instruction language that mitigates those risks.” Comments are due by April 21, 2025.
