Q. How do I submit a "Component Only" SDR? A. For 145 Repair Stations that may be working just components and not see the actual aircraft: You can submit component records, simply fill out all the information about the defective part of the component, in section 5 (Specific Part or Structure Causing Difficulty) and give the component information in section 6 (Component/Assembly That Includes Defective Part).
