Where can information about GACA-approved alternative methods of compliance be obtained?

Information about GACA-approved alternative methods of compliance can be obtained from the office identified in each airworthiness directive. Airworthiness directives (ADs) are regulatory requirements issued by aviation authorities to address safety issues with specific aircraft or components. Each AD specifies a designated office or contact point where interested parties can reach out for further clarification or guidance, including details about alternative compliance methods that may be acceptable. This ensures that operators have access to the most accurate and pertinent information regarding regulatory compliance and safety measures.

While FAA Service Centers, general aviation networks, and aircraft maintenance manuals provide valuable information in their respective areas, they are not specifically the designated resources for GACA-approved alternative compliance for airworthiness directives. The office mentioned in each AD is the authoritative source for such specialized information.
