I heard about this at an FAA seminar last week. The speaker didn't know who ASTM was, but he mentioned the the FAA had adopted a number of commercial ASTM standards to support the Experimental community.
I also heard something about this on the Grumman Gang list server too. I saw where folks had entered Electrical Load Analysis compliance statements on 337s that added equipment to my airplane. I suspected the analysis performed, itself absent, was probably non existent. The 43.13 Advisory Circulars don't really describe how they should be done. I see them at work and there maintenance of the ELA is mandatory (for airliners).
I bought ASTM_F2490 - ELECTRICAL_LOAD_ANALYSIS and it is a vast improvement over the, almost non-existent, AC 43.13 guidance.
There are other ASTM standards adopted by the FAA that do not seem to specifically target the Experimental community. They are announced in the Federal Register as a means of Part 23 Certification Compliance.
I haven't bought any more yet. I really stick to a budget for this sort of trade education.
ASTM F2696-14, STANDARD PRACTICES FOR INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT WIRING SYSTEMS
ASTM F2799–14, STANDARD PRACTICE FOR MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT WIRING SYSTEMS
ASTM F2483-12, IDENTIFICATION AND RECORDING OF MAJOR REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS
ASTM F2483-12, MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The subject interests me because I was toying with the idea of becoming an FAA Consulting DER.
Anybody have any insight on what FAA's intentions are on all of this? Are these topics going to be dropped from the 43.13?
