Chap 3 Par 776 Page 713 (thru 722) 11/18/80 8320.12 CHG 6 SECTION 14. INFORMAL SURVEILLANCE OF MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES 725. PURPOSE. This section provides the inspector with information pertinent to the performance of informal surveillance of maintenance activities. 726. GENERAL. Informal surveillance of a maintenance activity is intended to be performed by an actual visit (not associated with any other work item) to any base, subbase, station, facility, shop, or maintenance work area utilized by the certificate holder. This should be an unstructured job function from the standpoint of work content, depth, and scope. This function is intended to provide the assigned principal inspector broad latitude in the determination of the location, length, purpose, and other specifics of the visit. Such a visit may be for maintaining familiarization with work methods, program details, equipment configuration, etc. It may be used for generalized or nonspecific surveillance of repair, overhaul, modification, or inspection procedures. It may also be used for maintaining casual acquaintance with the operator's employees and supervisors or for merely establishing FAA presence. 727. INFORMAL VISITS. a. This function differs from the structured functions such as * facility, spot and ramp inspections. It recognizes that the assigned inspectors are in the best position to determine where emphasis should be placed, where weakness in the operator's systems exist, and where inspection-for-inspections-sake would be a waste of time. b. This function is a means by which the assigned inspector establishes FAA presence. Random visits to the various work areas of the operator serve to impress both the operator and its employees that they are subject at all times to inspection, reexamination, or review of their compliance with FAR's. It also serves to maintain the "pipelines" of information regarding equipment and compliance problems which are not formally reported to the FAA. 728. RECORDING INFORMAL VISITS. A record of the visit should be made on FAA Form 3112 and should include under item 8 (Findings/Recommendations) what activity was visited and any significant observation made. 729.-747. RESERVED.
