Abstract:
Testimony of Gerald L. Dillingham, Associate Director, Transportation Issues, Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division before the Subcommittee on Aviation, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, U.S. Senate on the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) oversight of repair stations that maintain and repair aircraft and aircraft components. In recent years, FAA's oversight of repair stations has become a matter of concern, in part because the work performed by repair stations has been identified as a factor in several aircraft accidents. This testimony discussed three main issues: (1) the practice of using individual inspectors in repair station inspections; (2) the condition of inspection documentation; and (3) current FAA actions to improve the inspection process. 10p.
