“Serious” Victory for FAA and Repair Stations
FAA reinserts word in repair station regulation.

The FAA, responding to industry concern, has reinserted the word “serious” in the paragraph of 14 CFR Part 145 requiring repair stations to report to the agency within 96 hours failures, malfunctions or defects in articles received for work. A coalition of industry organizations submitted supportive comments highlighting that a plain reading of the service difficulty reporting requirements without the word “serious” would mean submitting information on everything that comes through the door, as repair stations only receive articles that need work because of failures, malfunctions or defects.
