Personnel Changes:
AIR has also seen some key personnel changes: I am excited to announce that we have established the AIR Fuels Program Office and named Peter White as the new Manager. We are also excited to welcome Jeff Duven to his new position as the Manager of the Transport Airplane Directorate. Last month, Kim Smith, our current Manager of the Rotorcraft Directorate, was assigned the Manager of the Engine and Propeller Directorate. Although she now wears both hats, she will remain domiciled in the Rotorcraft Directorate, Ft. Worth, Texas.
Last but not least, we continue to work on streamlining our organization in order to more effectively –and efficiently—address the needs of our stakeholders and bilateral partners within the international community. As part of this long-term effort, we’ve recently merged the Aircraft Engineering Division with the Production and Airworthiness Division into one new entity: the Design, Manufacturing and Airworthiness Division. James (JD) Seipel will be the acting manager.

15. Bilateral Agreements Special Arrangement to:
Perform supplier surveillance on behalf of FAA or
FAA perform supplier surveillance on behalf of CAA
FAA PC extension with CAA overseeing CM on our behalf
State of Design / State of Manufacturer Split (TC/PC)
Special Projects
Engineering compliance or test witnessing, etc.
As discussed previously, AIR is facing unprecedented interest in untraditional relationship models. The interest is exceeding our system’s structure to accommodate these requests. And the volume of requests and our acquiescence to such requests is posing a new risk.
An example of this is our intended special arrangement with Mexico to perform supplier surveillance on our behalf. Since initiating this endeavor more interest to broaden their scope of activity has come forward. And interest to extend the same arrangement to other CAAs has come forward. It is imperative we find a system solution to determining eligibility and competence in exercising these types of agreements. The demand for special arrangements and management plans is exceeding our current systems ability to maintain configuration control of these agreements and how they are managed. this precedence setting activity to become formalized.
