Q

Stark

When granted, how is an engineering waiver documented

A

In EAL: sign off the restrictive or disabling discrepancy stating; “Waived for operational use IAW PL approval (DTG) and OPCON approval (DTG)”

Q

Stark

What is the difference between an engineering waiver and a safe to sail waiver?

A

An engineering waiver is routed to Product Line for approval to operate equipment outside normal parameters or overdue on scheduled maintenance
