Should we do what the AMP says?
OK, ladies and gents - I'm playing devil's advocate here but humour me and answer the following question (no penalty marking):
You are repping a maintenance check or doing a records review for an ARC. You look through the NRCs and see an APU door actuator has been replaced during the check. You leaf through the Forms 1 or 8130-3s and see that that the item fitted is "Repaired" or "Inspected/Tested". The AMP says that, at that check, the actuator has to be "Overhauled" (the original item could not be turned around in time). What do you do?
a) Accept dictacts from above that it be removed because you have to have an overhauled item as per the AMP (or have a brand new one fitted)
b) Accept dictacts from above saying it doesn't matter if the replacement is repaired or inspected because it has, after all, been replaced (and if an ovehauled item failed on the line after the SMI had been signed, you could legitimately fit an item other than overhauled)
c) You wonder how you got into this job
