FAA OKs Expanded Airframe Mx for Spirit Aeronautics
The company added heavy maintenance inspections to its authorizations.

Spirit Aeronautics received FAA approval to expand its approved capabilities list to include more airframe ratings. “We had a need to broaden our authorizations to include aircraft heavy maintenance inspections to give our customers scheduling options that minimized their downtime during service events. After working diligently with our FAA inspectors and demonstrating our abilities, we were granted the additional authorizations,” said Tony Bailey, president and COO of Spirit Aeronautics.
