False and Misleading Statements Regarding Aircraft Products, Parts, Appliances and Materials

Résumé

This final rule amends FAA regulations to create additional rules banning certain false or misleading statements about type- certificated products, and products, parts, appliances and materials that may be used on type-certificated products. This action is necessary to help prevent people from representing that these items are suitable for use on type-certificated products when in fact they may not be. These rules are intended to provide assurance that aircraft owners and operators, and persons who maintain aircraft, have factual information on which to determine whether a product, part, appliance or material may be used in a given type-certificated product application.
