Purpose

This Advisory Circular (AC) describes an acceptable means of compliance for the storage, and distribution of aeronautical products that is acceptable to the Director. 

Related rules

The guidelines for safely storing and distributing aeronautical supplies are applicable to all individuals and organisations carrying out aircraft and component maintenance and manufacture.

The typical stores system in Appendix 1 is representative of a non-certificated maintenance provider. It may also be applicable to an organisation certificated under Part 19, Subpart F, Supply Organisations Approvals.

Change notice

This is a substantive update of this AC. It replaces the diagram for a typical stores system to better reflect the current process and consequently re-orders the sections which describe this process.
It also removes information:

  • drawn from foreign guidance material, replacing it with direct reference to the source information, and
  • which could have contravened overarching guidance from organisations such as WorkSafe or the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), replacing it with reference to the relevant source data.

Lastly, it adds a Version History.
