U.S., Singapore Sign New Maintenance Oversight Deal
The Maintenance Agreement Guidance (MAG) will allow the FAA to accept Singapore's monitoring of FAA-certified repair stations within its borders.

The FAA has signed an agreement with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) that will allow the two agencies mutual surveillance of foreign certified repair stations. The maintenance agreement guidance furthers the maintenance implementation procedures (MIP) agreement signed in February 2016 by FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and the Singapore authority. It is the first of its kind in Asia and reduces costs by allowing the reciprocal acceptance of Singapore and the U.S.’s surveillance of maintenance work.
