Enhanced Flight Safety: New Rules for Aircraft Maintenance Abroad.
This act aims to enhance flight safety by introducing new oversight rules for the maintenance of U.S. air carrier aircraft, especially those repaired outside the United States. Citizens can expect safer air travel due to more rigorous inspections and personnel requirements for maintenance facilities.
Key points
Unannounced inspections of aircraft repair stations outside the U.S. to ensure high safety standards.
Airlines must report on major aircraft maintenance performed abroad, including any defects after return to service.
Prohibition on new heavy maintenance contracts with countries classified as having lower aviation safety standards.
Requirement for supervisory and return-to-service personnel at foreign repair stations to hold appropriate certifications.
Establishment of an international working group to review and strengthen oversight of foreign repair stations.
