U.S. Army Aviation and Troop Command ADS-43A-HDBK — 1.4 TEST REQUIREMENTS

Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com ADS-43A-HDBK A manufacturing and quality control process sheet listing the sequence of operations, operation descriptions, parameters, inspection stations and criteria, and specific equipment used to produce the component should be included in the inspection report and submitted to USAATCOM engineering (see paragraph 1.3.8). Upon acceptance of FAT for the component by USAATCOM engineering the process sheet including all changes made during the substantiation effort must be classified as “frozen planning.” Any proposed changes to the frozen planning must be submitted to USAATCOM engineering for approval.

1.3.7 Flight Safety Parts Drawings of components and assemblies that are classified as FSP containing critical characteristics and are identified in the ETT in the FSPIS, may have additional requirements as specified in ATCOM Reg 702-7 and the STDP. Substantiation of conformance of all FSP critical characteristics to drawing requirements, specifications, acceptance test procedures, and detailed plans for the 100% inspection of critical characteristics, or a previously approved statistical substitute, should be included in the inspection report and submitted to USAATCOM engineering for approval.

1.3.8 Approval to Conduct Testing Alternate sources must not commence qualification testing until an inspection report substantiating that all requirements of this section have been met, has been submitted to and approved by USAATCOM engineering. Upon receipt of approval, the alternate source may begin testing. The test plan may be submitted as part of the inspection report. Standard required tests are detailed in subsequent sections of this specification. 1.3.9 Parts Not Requiring Qualification Testing Certain engine parts, components, and assemblies do not require qualification testing.

Alternate sources of these items must be approved by having met the requirements provided in the CASL and STDP and by receipt and approval of documentation of compliance with the above requirements from USAATCOM engineering. With the exception of FSP, manufacturing process sheets are not required for these items. These requirements may be substantiated as part of the FAT. 1.4 TEST REQUIREMENTS 1.4.1 General Certain components listed in the ETT require qualification testing in addition to substantiation of the dimensional and metallurgical requirements.
