The National Air Transportation Association’s maintenance committee has begun equipping applicants for Part 145 certificates with a resource to ensure their thorough understanding of the FAA’s internal and external systems and processes.

Called “Guidance for Initial Applications for Repair Station Certificates,” the new resource offers applicants help with several elements of the process, including insight into the steps involved in the Certification Services Overnight Process (CSOP) and Safety Assurance Systems (SAS) for certification project management.
