FAA-G-8082-19 INSPECTION AUTHORIZATION INFORMATION GUIDE U.S. Department of Transportation PREFACE This publication provides guidance for persons who conduct annual and progressive inspections and approve major repairs and/or major alterations of aircraft holding or eligible to hold a U.S. type certificate. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends this information for mechanics who hold an Inspection Authorization (IA). This manual stresses the important role that certificated mechanics who hold an inspection authorization have in air safety. Since inspection requirements and regulations change, the FAA recommends that you contact your local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) for help with questions regarding inspection, alteration, and repair of aircraft. Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 65, Certification: Airmen Other Than Flight Crewmembers, describes the privileges of mechanics holding an inspection authorization. 14 CFR part 43, Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding, and Alteration, describes maintenance rules and standards of performance. This publication is available free of charge for download, in PDF format on the FAA website at www.faa.gov or may also be purchased from http://bookstore.gpo.gov.
