Background The Maintenance Alert program leads to improved aeronautical product durability, reliability, and safety. The articles contained in the Maintenance Alerts are derived from the Malfunction or Defect Reports sub-mitted by aircraft owners, pilots, mechanics, repair stations, and air taxi operators. Maintenance specialists review the reports and select pertinent items for publication in the Maintenance Alerts. The information is brief and advisory and compliance is not mandatory. However, the informa-tion is intended to alert you to service experience, and, when applicable, direct your attention to the manufacturer’s recommended corrective action. Accessing Maintenance Alerts You can access current and back issues of this publication on the FAA website at http://www.faa. gov/aircraft/safety/alerts/aviation_maintenance/, which allows free access to each month’s Main-tenance Alerts. Contact Information You can contact the FAA Aviation Systems Data Branch (AFS-620) regarding the Maintenance Alert Program. AFS-620 contact information is available in the FAA Contact Information appendix on pages A1–A2 of this handbook.
