FAA ISSUES FINAL RULE ON REPAIR STATIONS
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule amending its repair station regulations (14 CFR part 145). In addition to certain technical corrections, the final rule:
· Amends sections 145.51 and 145.53 to allow FAA to deny an application for a new repair station certificate based on past performance by an applicant or certain key personnel;
· Adds new section 145.12 to prohibit fraudulent or intentionally false entries or omissions in applications, records, or reports; and
· Revises section 145.55 to clarify that FAA acceptance of a certificate for cancellation is required in order to complete the surrender of a certificate.
The final rule is effective on November 10, 2014.
