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.
