This memorandum supersedes AIR600-20-6C0-DM133, dated Mar 26, 2020 authorizing
a deviation to FAA Order 8130.2J, Appendix B, paragraph B-4 and the forwarding of
completed airworthiness certification files to the AFB-710, 60 calendar days after
issuance of the certificate. This deviation will remain in effect until such time individual
regional office personnel return back to work in accordance with the FAA Recovery
Phase guidelines.
Additionally this memorandum provides further guidance to AIR600-20-6C0-DM139,
dated July 22, 2020, paragraph 2. The electronic ASKME Airworthiness Certification
(AWC) application does not support processing and issue of airworthiness certificates for
applicants registering small Unmanned Aircraft Systems under 14 CFR Part 48 at this
time and therefore is not required for use for those aircraft.

1. Purpose of This Notice. This notice provides a policy update to better define how and when
to close regulatory Compliance Actions (CA).
2. Audience. The primary audience for this notice is the Flight Standards (FS) Air Carrier and
General Aviation Safety Assurance offices’ aviation safety inspectors (ASI), Front Line
Managers (FLM), Office Managers (OM), aviation safety technicians (AST), and aviation safety
assistants (ASA). The secondary audience includes the Safety Standards and Foundational
Business offices.

This order is a comprehensive publication establishing policy and procedures for managing all aspects of certain representatives of the Administrator including selection, appointment, orientation, training, oversight, suspension, and termination. This order represents a consolidation of existing policies across Aviation Safety (AVS) Services and Offices: Aircraft Certification Service (AIR), Flight Standards Service (FS), and the Office of Aerospace Medicine (AAM). This order also establishes the Designee Management System (DMS), which is a web-based tool designed to standardize the management of designees.

Purpose
This policy prescribes that the FAA Organization Management Teams (OMT) for Boeing, Pratt
& Whitney and General Electric must assign FAA advisors for the engineering and flight test
UMs of the Type Certification (TC) ODA at these ODA holders.

Purpose
This memorandum requires FAA Organization Management Teams (OMT) to review and either
approve or reject all new or expanded ODA UM selections made by TC ODA holders.

This order restates current Flight Standards Service (FS) policy for
personnel to use as they develop and execute annual surveillance work programs, incorporates
organizational changes and policy division changes, updates previous guidance work activities,
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommendations, Inspector General (IG)
recommendations, and congressional mandates.

On September 27^th, FAA published the final special conditions for magniX in the Federal Register (Docket No. FAA-2020-0894 / Special Conditions No. 33-022-SC). The special condition will be effective October 27^th.

magniX applied for a type certificate for its magni350 and magni650 model electric engines in April 2019. The FAA has not previously type certificated an engine that primarily uses electrical technology for propulsion of the aircraft. Electric propulsion technology is substantially different from the technology used in previously certificated aircraft engines that operate using aviation fuel; therefore, these engines introduce new safety concerns that need to be addressed in the certification basis.

As noted in the Notice of Proposed Special Conditions, the FAA used technical criteria from ASTM F3338-18, Standard Specification for Design of Electric Propulsion Units for General Aviation Aircraft, along with engine information from magniX and other information, to develop these special conditions. These special conditions establish a level of safety that is equivalent to the level of safety required by title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 33.

This order establishes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) procedures and
responsibilities for aircraft accident and incident notification, investigation, and reporting
