(8) Paragraph A35.3(b)(8). The list of tools for overhaul should be adequate for completing the work. The list may include lists located in the sections of the ICA in which the work is described. Also, the list should include a cross-reference to the section in which the method of using each tool is described or the tools are used. Any special tools should be highlighted, because §43.13 requires the use of special tools when performing maintenance.
10. GUIDANCE FOR APPENDIX A TO PART 35, A35.4 -- AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION.
a. The ICA must include an Airworthiness Limitations section. The Airworthiness Limitations section may appear in both the maintenance and overhaul sections; this is acceptable as long as both sections remain identical. The Airworthiness Limitations section should be prominently located, entitled “Airworthiness Limitations,” and identified at the beginning of the section as having been approved by the FAA.
b. The CMACO approves the Airworthiness Limitations section. Changes to mandatory inspection intervals, as well as life limits and replacement times, require CMACO approval. The addition of restrictions to an existing Airworthiness Limitations section should be accompanied by an airworthiness directive (AD).
