FAA Delays Effective Date of Repair Station Rule

Delay will give repair stations more time to develop training programs and will give FAA time to evaluate and approve them.


The FAA is delaying the effective date of the final rule requiring each repair station to have an approved training program until April 6, 2006. Several industry associations actively lobbied the FAA to delay the effective date of the rule because because applicable guidance material is not yet available to assist repair stations in developing their programs. The delayed date will give repair stations sufficient time to develop their programs and will give the FAA time to evaluate and approve them.
