Purpose of This Notice.

On January 6, 2022, Notice N 8900.608, Relocation of Guidance on Required Inspection Items (RII) in FAA Order 8900.1, was published to provide information regarding the revision and relocation of guidance and policy in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 8900.1. The notice also directed principal inspectors (PI) to conduct an evaluation of operators' existing RII procedures using the new guidance, and the correction of deficiencies within 6 months. This new notice supersedes N 8900.608 to remove the 6-month timeframe for PI evaluation and completing corrective actions, and to solicit feedback for concerns related to the information contained in Order 8900.1, Volume 20, Chapter 6, Section 1, Evaluating Required Inspection Item (RII) Procedures.
