MAG Dual Release records evidence
For MROs, equipment suppliers, Aircraft records teams, the trigger is setting up or auditing dual-release paperwork. The decision: whether component release certificates carry a valid dual release under the FAA-EASA Maintenance Annex Guidance, so parts can be installed on either authority's aircraft without rework. Evidence set: block 12 dual-release statements, the certifying organization's dual approval status at the work date, work-order references, MAG change level in force. EE checks release certificate, issuing organization approval evidence, work order or shop file against the current status claim and the acceptance criteria supplied for the review. The buyer receives a discrepancy register, evidence map, closure.
What gets reviewed
- The decision: whether component release certificates carry a valid dual release under the FAA-EASA Maintenance Annex Guidance, so parts can be installed on either authority's aircraft without rework.

Trace Dual Release
Walk the named evidence from index entry to source artifact and mark where the trail supports, conflicts with, or fails to answer the page-specific question.
Sort Records Evidence
Group exceptions by closure route: document retrieval, data correction, engineering disposition, authority response, or contractual decision.
Package Transition Block
Deliver the exception list, evidence map, and owner sequence in a form that can move directly into remediation, submittal cleanup, or transaction negotiation.
What the buyer receives

Regulatory limits
This mag dual release records review does not approve data, issue a release, determine airworthiness, or guarantee authority acceptance. Regulators, authorized persons, operators, and transaction parties make final decisions under their procedures.
Specific to this review
- The mag dual release decision depends on source-record trace, not the neatness of the delivered index.
- A small mismatch in date, serial, revision, or method can change the acceptance position.
- The useful output records why each disputed line was accepted, corrected, or left open.
- The scope uses the FAA EASA Mag Dual question as the control point, so the review stays tied to Setting up or auditing dual-release paperwork and the buyer decision behind it.
- The evidence starts with Release certificate and follows Release Requirements Records Evidence references until every exception has a source location and a reason code.
- The finding logic separates missing paperwork, conflicting status, stale revision data, and unsupported disposition because each class closes through a different owner.
- The timing matters for MRO quality manager: the output is useful only if the unresolved items are visible before acceptance, submittal, handback, or negotiation pressure fixes the sequence.
- The boundary control keeps Lease Transition Block Must questions in the records or certification lane and sends technical acceptance issues to the authorized people who own them.
- The handoff value comes from MAG Dual Release evidence map with source-page references; it gives the next reviewer a precise map instead of another broad request for a better file.
- The source discipline is stricter on this page than on a general audit because the claim being tested is Verify dual-release statements on 8130-3 and Form 1 certificates against current MAG requirements..

Frequently asked questions
What makes this records review different from a general file audit?
The scope is tied to faa easa mag dual and to the decision named in the request. A general audit can list weak records; this pass ranks the gaps by whether they block setting up or auditing dual-release paperwork or can be closed later without changing the decision.
What evidence has to be available before this work starts?
The starting point is release certificate, the current status source, and any index or matrix that tells reviewers where the supporting artifact should live. Missing inputs are logged as findings rather than filled with assumptions.
Who decides whether an open item is acceptable?
The review explains what the evidence supports and gives mro quality manager a closure path. Acceptance remains with the buyer, operator, authority, delegated engineer, or authorized person responsible for the underlying airworthiness or certification decision.
