View Rule

This rulemaking would revise the housing and facilities requirements for aircraft maintenance, and the regulations for limited ratings. This action is necessary because the current housing and facilities, and limited ratings do not reflect current and future repair station business practices for certificate holders and applicants who wish to hold a limited rating. The intended effect of this final rule is to ensure certificate holders have suitable housing and facilities for the ratings and limitations they hold. Also, by adding an additional limited rating, repair stations will be afforded the option to identify component parts that are not covered by the current 12 limited ratings. This action will alleviate a costly and over burdensome housing expense for repair stations and applicants who hold a limited rating.
