Maintenance and Modifications
Proposed Rewrite Updates Maintenance School Rules
FAA said existing curriculum is “outdated, does not meet current industry needs and can be changed only through NPRM and comment rulemaking."

Part 147, the U.S. regulations governing the curriculum and operations of FAA-certified aviation maintenance technician schools, would undergo several major changes under a recent notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). These amendments would “modernize and reorganize the required curriculum subjects in the appendices of the current regulations,” the FAA said. “They would also remove the course content items currently located in the appendices and require that they be placed in each school’s operations specifications so they could more easily be amended when necessary.”
