This formal address being presented at the 5th International Conference on Structural Airworthiness of New and Aging Aircraft includes status of three of the u. s. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Flight Standards AFS) initiatives. The Aging Aircraft Structural Modification and service bulletin compliance program initiatives will be discussed today. The Structural Modification Program is an industry initiative endorsed by both airline and airframe manufacturers when the program began in 1988. The first is our verification that the structural modifications mandated in 1990 are being completed. The second is implementation of corrosion prevention and control programs designed to ensure that corrosion is maintained at an acceptable level. The implementation and oversight of the corrosion programs mandated by airworthiness directives (AD) is delineated in a document identified as an FAA order. This order is a joint effort between the FAAs Flight Standards Service and the Aircraft Certification Service (ACO). The third i.s implementation of the "Aging Aircraft Safety Act of 1991". This mandate was introduced by the honorable James L., Chairman, House Subcommittee on Aviation. It is intended to assure that airlines operating 15 year or older airplanes comply with all aging airplane requirements.
