OMB 2120-0663

The Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) Program requires air carriers and repair stations to disclose occurrences of detections of failures, malfunctions, or defects. Information is collected and made available to internal and external stakeholders based on policy. Stakeholders use this data to determine service performance of aeronautical products. When defects are likely to exist, The FAA may disseminate safety information to a particular section of the aviation community. The FAA may also use this data to create new regulations or issue Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) that address a specific problem, as the data may identify mechanical failures, malfunctions, and defects that indicate a hazard to the operation of an aircraft. It may also identify trends on airworthiness related concerns.

The latest form for Service Difficulty Report expires 2028-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202408-2120-016.
