A person installing a product, part, or appliance on a type certificated product must make certain that the item's records document what type of statement?

• A. The product, part, or material meets FAA airworthiness standards
• B. The installation was inspected by an IA
• C. The installation complies with all electrical wiring diagrams
• D. The product, part, or material is compatible with existing equipment

Answer: (A)

When installing a product on a type-certificated aircraft, the records must show that the item meets FAA airworthiness standards. This ensures the part is approved for use on that aircraft and that the installation was done in accordance with approved data (such as an STC, PMA, or field approval). Documentation of airworthiness conformity is the formal basis that the modification is authorized for safe operation. While having the installation inspected by an IA, following electrical diagrams, or ensuring general compatibility are important safety checks, they do not by themselves substitute for recording that the item meets the FAA airworthiness standards.
