air transportation. Submission of the Suspected Unapproved Parts
Notification, FAA Form 8120-11, is necessary to ensure that only FAA
approved parts are installed, ensuring that continued airworthiness is
maintained.
Proposed Use of Information: The notification information is
collected and correlated by the FAA and will be used to determine if an
unapproved part investigation is in fact warranted. When unapproved
parts are confirmed that are likely to exist on other products or
aircraft of a similar design or being used in other facilities, the
information is used as a basis for aviation industry alerts. Alerts are
used to inform industry of situations essential to the prevention of
accidents.
