FAA Extends AD Compliance Time for 210 Carry-Thru AD Inspection Due to COVID-19 Restrictions

The FAA has issued a Global AMOC (Alternative Method of Compliance) for AD 2020-03-16 to extend the compliance time from 60 days to September 9, 2020.  This extension changes the compliance time from 60 days to approximately 180 days.  The original 20 hours time-in-service (TIS) compliance time identified in AD 2020-03-16 remains the same.

Owners and operators face difficulty meeting the 60 day compliance time due to a number of factors associated with the COVID-19 virus, including facility availability, equipment availability (masks used in the application of chemicals), and travel and personnel restrictions imposed by local, state, and federal governments.

The FAA continues to stress the critical nature of this AD but acknowledges the flexibility that must be exercised in this unprecedented situation.
