Aviation Group Questions FAA Repair Station Rule
ARSA says the recently published rule doesn’t read like the original NPRM.

Not everyone is convinced the FAA’s recently issued final Part 145 rule, which governs maintenance of U.S.-registered aircraft, aligns with the intent of the original notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). The Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA) last week said it is carefully comparing the comments the agency received against the final rule but believes the FAA “changed the rule considerably since theoriginal NPRM that ARSA submitted commentson in 2012.”
