DOT/FAA RIN: 2120-AF71 Publication ID: Spring 1999 
Title: Operational and Structural Difficulty Reports 
Abstract: This action would amend the reporting requirements for air carrier certificate holders and certificated domestic and foreign repair stations concerning failures, malfunctions, and defects of aircraft, aircraft engines, systems, and components. The proposed rule would clarify and standardize the reporting requirements for the type of information submitted to the FAA, allowing the FAA to identify trends that may affect aviation safety. This action was prompted by an internal FAA review of industry concern over the quality of the data being reported by air carriers. The objective of the proposed rule is to update and improve the reporting system to effectively collect and disseminate clear and concise information, particularly with regard to aging aircraft, to the aviation industry.
