Rebuilt on an 8130-3 is not a dual-release trick. Putting MAG remarks on a rebuilt engine tag is the wrong book.
EASA treats rebuilt as a manufacturing/production release, only for engines, not MAG maintenance dual release. Dual release is not acceptable for rebuilt engine/components.
TL;DR. Dual release is not acceptable for rebuilt engine/components (FAQ 43770). Import of a rebuilt engine: Block 11 status rebuilt, OEM 8130-3 using blocks 13a–13e (left side). Rebuilt 8130-3 is not acceptable for components other than engines (AESA FAQ). NEW articles and rebuilt engines follow TIP Section VII from 7.7, left side. USED from a US repair station follows MAG, right side 14a–14e. PAH rebuild/alter sits in Order 8120.18 / 8120.18A, not AC 43-9D. Doana can read Block 11 “REBUILT”. It cannot decide MAG vs TIP.
Is dual release allowed on a rebuilt tag?
No. EASA recognises “rebuilt” only as a manufacturing/production release, and only for engines (EASA BASA continuing-airworthiness FAQ; FAQ 43770).
Import of a rebuilt engine: Block 11 status rebuilt, OEM 8130-3 using blocks 13a–13e (left side). Rebuilt 8130-3 is not acceptable for components other than engines (AESA FAQ on Block 11 Rebuilt: AESA).
Used dual-release path (MAG, Block 14): Dual release on FAA 8130-3.
Which book is rebuilt, MAG or TIP?
NEW articles and rebuilt engines: TIP Section VII from 7.7, left side 13a–13e. USED from a US repair station: MAG, right side 14a–14e (FAQ 19058, recency 28 Jan 2021).
Order 8130.21J plus ASA’s explainer (trade association, not FAA) put PAH rebuild/alter under 43.3(j) / 43.7(d) in Order 8120.18 / 8120.18A, not in AC 43-9D (8130.21J PDF; ASA). Book split: 8130.21J vs AC 43-9D.
Part 21 Block 11 under 8130.21J does not use REBUILT as a Part 21 term. That is a different list from EASA’s rebuilt-engine production path. FAA Block 11 words: FAA Form 8130-3 Block 11.
Next
If the tag says REBUILT, look at TIP / left side / engines only. If the tag is used from a US repair station, look at MAG dual release. Do not treat those as one remark.
Doana can read Block 11 “REBUILT” off a scan (8130-3 glossary). It cannot decide MAG vs TIP.
