Attention I.A.'s
This might be a good time to check if you have met the new requirements for I.A. renewal (with less than a month of 2011 remaining).
The rules have been revised and some documentation of activity in 2011 is required. How much documentation is not clear to me.
This document seems to require the additional proof that will now be required:
http://www.eaa.org/news/2011/New_IA_policy.pdf
“The ASI may use evidence or documentation provided by the applicant showing inspection,
overhauling, repairing, preserving, or replacing parts on aircraft or supervision of
those activities. This evidence or documentation when required could include
employment records showing performance or supervision of aircraft maintenance, return to
service documents and or copies of maintenance record entries.”
The I.A. guide has been revised and split into two parts. The second part has some of the new renewal process, but is not complete, in my opinion (since it does not mention additional documentation needed in 2011):
FAA-8082-11C http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/...g-8082-11c.pdf
and
FAA-8082-19 http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/...-g-8082-19.pdf
