1. The application for RDA may be subject to a sequencing process due to workload, which may impact the initiation of the project. 2. A GACA RDA project coordination meeting should take place as early as possible in the project.

The letter of application should be of sufficient detail to allow the GACA to make the decision to support the project. The content must indicate the following:

1. Repair Design Approval holder/applicant name and normal place of business;

2. Description of the repair design; including an explanation of the purpose of the repair, the pre-modification and post-modification configuration(s) of the product, schematics/pictures, and any other detailed features and boundaries of the physical repair (this may be supplemented by drawings or outlines of the design, as well as the identification of the changes in areas of the product that are functionally affected by the repair, and the identification of any changes to maintenance and operational manuals.

3. Aircraft type, serial number and KSA registration marks;

4. Organization that will be responsible for performing the design change on the aircraft;

5. Location of the aircraft during the repair design project;

6. Starting date and duration of the repair design project;

7. Whether flight testing will be conducted;

8. Concurrent activities on the aircraft;

9. Invitation for GACA participation; and

10. Identification of the Certification Project Manager(s), including their contact details.

The GACA RDA process is similar to the GACA STC process. Accordingly, FAA AC 21-40( ) should be read in conjunction with the procedures provided in GACA AC 021-07. In case of conflict between the two, the procedures in GACA AC 021-07 are to prevail.
