The FAA is reconsidering its policy surrounding in-person supervision of unlicensed mechanics and plans revised or new guidance.

The FAA has decided to stay a controversial legal interpretation surrounding in-person supervision of maintenance activities while the agency reviews its policies.

Laura Megan-Posch, the FAA’s assistant chief counsel for regulations, informed leaders at the Aeronautical Repair Station Association (ARSA), General Aviation Manufacturers Association, and Savvy Aviation of the decision this week, cautioning, “This stay does not represent a conclusion on the contents of that interpretation.” But the stay will remain in effect “until the agency issues new or supplemental guidance.”
