System for Collection, Investigation, and Analysis of Data
- The Type Certificate Holder (TCH) must have a system to collect, investigate, and analyze reports related to failures, malfunctions, defects, or occurrences affecting the Certificate of Airworthiness of the product.
Reporting to EASA
- The TCH must report to EASA any failure, malfunction, defect, or occurrence related to a product that may result in an unsafe condition.
- Reports must be made as soon as possible, and within 72 hours of identifying the possible unsafe condition.
- Examples of reportable incidents include uncontained engine failures that damage aircraft primary structure.
Investigation of Reported Occurrences
- When an occurrence results from a design or manufacturing deficiency, the TCH must investigate the reason for the deficiency.
- The TCH must report the investigation results and proposed corrective actions to the agency.
- If the agency determines that action is required to correct the deficiency, the TCH must submit relevant data to the agency.
