Today, I pulled out my trusty FAA Form 8610-1 Mechanic's Application for Inspection Authorization. I wanted to go ahead and start filling it out in anticipation of our Wisconsin IA seminar in less than a month.
There is one section on the form that really bugs me. It is a mistake on the form that was pointed out to me by a retired FAA inspector a few years back. I had really never paid attention to it, but the incorrect information is printed on the form in black and white, and it bugs me, especially considering it is an FAA form.
The mistake is in block 3. It says:
"MAILING ADDRESS (Number, street, city, State/County, Zip Code) (Place at which you desire to receive Airworthiness Directives, etc.)
Has anyone else noticed the mistake? Apparently the FAA has been OK with it since February 1978.
Thanks for reading. I look forward to your feedback.
