Abstract:
FAA Form 8070-1, Service Difficulty Report (SDR), may be used by the air carrier industry and repair stations to submit mandated reporting of occurrences or detection of failures, malfunctions, or defects. As described in 14 CFR 121.703(e), these submitters may use another method that is suitable to their management system, provided that system is acceptable to the Administrator and contains mandated information. Service difficulty information may also be submitted in an electronic format. Repair stations certificated under Part 145 and Air taxi operators certificated under Part 135 are required to submit Malfunction or Defect Reports, or Service Difficulty Reports. FAA Form 8010-4, Malfunction and Defect Report may be used by the general aviation public to submit voluntary reporting of occurrences or detection of failure, malfunctions, or defects. General Aviation is the largest user of the Form 8010-4. Report information is collected, collated by the FAA, and used to determine service performance of aeronautical products. When defects are reported which are likely to exist on other products of the same or similar design, the FAA may disseminate safety information to a particular section of the aviation community. The FAA also may adopt new regulations or issue Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) to address a specific problem. AD’s are mandatory repair or modifications essential for the prevention of accidents The regulations enhance air carrier safety by collecting additional and timelier data pertinent to critical aircraft components. This data identifies mechanical failures, malfunctions, and defects that may be a hazard to the operation of an aircraft. The FAA uses this data to identify trends that may facilitate the early detection of airworthiness problems. Reports are submitted on occasion.

Short Statement:
In the notice of proposed rulemaking, Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations (RIN 2120-AL72), the FAA is proposing a Special Federal Aviation Regulation to apply certain operating rules to powered-lift aircraft on a temporary basis to enable the FAA to gather additional information and determine the most appropriate permanent rulemaking path for these aircraft. Powered-lift will be type certificated as special class aircraft under the existing regulations. Currently, powered-lift have not been conceptualized into the general and commercial operating regulations. The number of Part 135 operators was revised to reflect the estimated number of operators for the incorporation of powered-lift. The number of pilots and flight attendants was also revised to reflect estimated burden increases related to the incorporation of powered-lift
